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."

In the distance, Vermont's voice roared with sound that carried over everything.


Purple lightning exploded brighter than looking at the sun, a pillar connecting earth to burning sky.


Everyone on the battlefield turned to look despite themselves.


Elizabeth squinted through the glare and saw Vermont's spear that seemed to tear reality along the seams.


Then one of the five S ranks simply wasn't there.


Just blood mist and scattered pieces marking where he'd been.


The shockwave rolled across the Domain, delayed sonic boom that made the ground shake.


Elizabeth's eyes found Vermont through the afterimages burned into her retinas.


Gray streaked through hair that had been purple.


His face showed lines that hadn't existed an hour ago.


'Forbidden skill… He's killing himself to protect me!'


The remaining four S ranks pressed harder, sensing weakness.


Continuous booms as combat exceeded what her eyes could track.
