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."

The tournament continued despite the shocking opening.


Skyreach Academy ground down their enemies through superior tactics and coordination, Alexander Vance's brown shields appearing and disappearing to block attacks from impossible angles.


Darksky Academy brought overwhelming offensive pressure, Jonathan Thorne's golden Aura blazing like a miniature sun, his attacks burning through defensive barriers like they were made of paper.


Republic Academy fought with heart and determination that made up for their technical disadvantages, William and his team proving that commoners could compete even if they couldn't dominate.


The hosts provided continuous commentary, their voices rising and falling with the action.


"ANOTHER ELIMINATION! EASTWIND ACADEMY FALLS TO CRIMSON PEAK!"


"REPUBLIC ACADEMY ADVANCES! THE COMMONER REPRESENTATIVES REFUSE TO BACK DOWN!"
