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 light filters through the hotel curtains and falls across the bed where Demien lies on his back with one arm thrown over his eyes, and his phone vibrates against the nightstand with the insistent rhythm that means multiple messages have arrived while he slept.


He reaches for it without opening his eyes and the screen shows 7:42 AM along with four notification badges, and when he unlocks the device the brightness makes him squint before his eyes adjust to the white glow.


The first message is from Marco and the timestamp shows 7:15 AM.


Marco:Big day, Demien. Your mother and I are driving down from Bergamo. We'll be in the stands tonight. Just play your game. Proud of you regardless. - M


Demien reads it twice before scrolling to the next message, and Sophia's name appears with a timestamp of 7:28 AM.
