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.**

The whistle blew for halftime and Atalanta's players trudged toward the tunnel with heads down while Napoli's squad jogged off energized and celebrating, and the contrast was stark enough that the television cameras captured both groups in split screen.


Demien walked slowly with his shirt soaked through and his legs heavy, and the jeers from the crowd followed him all the way into the tunnel where the noise finally muffled behind concrete walls.


Inside the dressing room the atmosphere was tense and silent as players collapsed onto benches or stood leaning against walls, and nobody spoke while waiting for Gasperini to arrive because everyone knew what was coming.


The manager entered thirty seconds later with his assistant trailing behind carrying a tablet, and Gasperini's face was tight with controlled anger as he moved to the tactical board mounted on the wall.
