David Drinkwater lived his entire career as football's biggest joke.

Thirty seven years old, rejected by every major club, and called a "club whore" by fans across Europe, but at Wembley Stadium, in the rain, he finally proved them wrong.

Championship playoff final between Millwall and Norwich, and in the 90th minute, he scored the winning goal, then he died.

**[Ding. Ding.]**
**「Host found: David Drinkwater.」**
**「Synchronisation complete.」**

He opens his eyes in an eighteen year old body.

Demien Walter, a failed Fiorentina academy prospect and suicide attempt survivor with an overall rating of 48, no team, and no future, but David brought something impossible with him.

**[Ding.]**
**「Ultimate Gacha System activated.」**
**「Mission: Rise from nothing. Become the greatest footballer in history.」**

Training earns points while matches earn rewards, and achievements unlock legendary packs.

Every pack opening could change everything, whether through common stat boosts, rare techniques, or epic abilities, yet there's always the ultimate prize.

**[Ding.]**
**「Diamond Pack opened.」**
**「Congratulations. Andrea Pirlo — Regista Vision obtained. Passing +15. Vision +10. Legendary Trait unlocked: Deep-Lying Playmaker.」**

From trialist to conquering the football world, every pack, every point, and every impossible moment building toward football immortality.

They called him a failure once, and they called him wasted potential, but now, with forty years of wisdom in an eighteen year old body and a system that rewards every drop of sweat with power, David will rewrite football history.

One pack at a time.

**Some dreams get a second chance, and some legends get a second life, so this is his.**

Morning began with 8 AM breakfast in the hotel dining room, and the pre-match meal sat heavy with carbohydrates and lean protein while Italian sports shows played on the restaurant TV.


The broadcast displayed Napoli's home record—unbeaten in their last twelve at the Maradona—and graphics highlighted Osimhen's goal-scoring form with numbers that looked intimidating when converted to visual representation.


Demien ate mechanically while watching the screen, and his body moved through the routine without conscious thought because David's seventeen-club career had taught him that match-day mornings were about routine over emotion.


The team bus departed at 10:30 AM for a light walkabout at the stadium, and stepping onto the Maradona pitch in daylight revealed exactly what tonight would bring.
