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 blows and Milan kick off with Giroud tapping the ball back to Tonali who immediately shifts it wide to Leão without taking an extra touch, and the Portuguese winger controls on the half-turn before driving forward down the left flank where space opens because Atalanta's defensive line hasn't settled into position yet.


Hateboer steps across to close him down and his body angle forces Leão toward the touchline rather than allowing him to cut inside, and Leão recognizes the pressure before it arrives and releases the ball back to Bennacer who has drifted into the center circle as the deepest midfielder.


The tempo is already high and both teams are playing at pace that suggests neither wants to feel out the match gradually, and Milan's initial possession lasts only four touches before Atalanta's press triggers.
