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's eyes focused as he was not fully aware and conscious.


But… he was stable enough for one last push.


Past every creature, through the horde, straight toward the small controller in the chamber's center.


A creature's skull collapsed under his fist, the enhanced strength from eating so many making even broken-handed strikes devastating.


He tore another's arm off, used it to stab a third through the eye socket, the improvised weapon punching through bone.


He grabbed a creature bodily, lifted it despite his injuries, threw it at others, their bodies colliding and falling in tangles.


All students rushed to help, attacking from all sides, creating openings, buying seconds.


The mental chant spread through everyone, their voices joining in desperation and hope and fury.
