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.**

Demien and Owen sat at a table near the windows with mugs of tea steaming in front of them, and the cafeteria was quiet except for a few other players scattered throughout the space doing the same thing—waiting for the hours to pass until training began—and the atmosphere carried that pre-session calm where everyone conserved energy.


Demien's phone buzzed against the table and he glanced at the screen to see a message from Marco, and when he opened it the preview made him sit forward slightly as his heart rate increased with anticipation.


Demien - Good news from Adidas. The €20,000 signing bonus just processed—should hit your account today. Also confirming you received the initial product shipment (boots, training gear)? They want to schedule your first Shape the Game campaign shoot for late September after the international break. Let me know. - Marco
