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 club's social media coordinator reviewed the morning's training photos on her computer screen, and she selected one showing Demien jogging with the main group while other players moved around him.


The image was clear without being dramatic—just documentation of his presence rather than a declaration of imminent return.


She typed a caption in Italian first, then English:


"Demien Walter rejoining group training today as he continues his recovery. Gradual progress. 💙🖤"


The post went live at 1:47 PM across all platforms, and the response was immediate.


Comments began appearing within seconds—mostly positive, some cautious, a few demanding to know when he'd be available for selection.


@AtalantaFan88:Finally! But please don't rush him back


@SerieA_Updates:Good to see. Take your time, no need to force it


@CalcioNews24:Progress but still weeks away from match fitness
