In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world.

Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened.

Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life.

A past life where he was not an ordinary man…
But a ruthless mafia boss.

To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life.

Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel.

But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters.

He was just a random Extra.

With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life.

He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them.

But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. 

And to do that, he needed… Power.

"Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice."

Damian woke up slowly with his consciousness returning in gradual stages.


He felt exhausted still, his body heavy despite hours of sleep, muscles aching in ways that suggested the portal's effects hadn't fully worn off.


But more than physical exhaustion, he felt... edgy and restless. 


Like something inside him couldn't quite settle.


And… confident. Arrogantly confident in ways that felt both natural and wrong simultaneously.


'What's happening to me? My behavior was quite arrogant even when I stepped out through the portal... the way I spoke to that commanding officer... the casual disregard for authority and protocol…'


He'd always been confident, but this felt different and more extreme. 


Like his personality had been amplified, the edges sharpened and the filter between thought and action removed.


'Is it the power? Did gaining all that physical strength change how I see myself? How I interact with the world?'
