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 system panel materialized instantly, text appearing in clean white against blue.


「MATCH MISSION: BREAK THE BUS」 「Objective A: 2+ goal involvements」 「Objective B: 90%+ final-third pass accuracy」 「Objective C: Create 5+ chances」 「Reward (all three): 30 TP | 50 MP」 「Fail any → 0 rewards」


Demien dismissed it with a thought as he touched the ball square to De Roon, the panel vanishing.


De Roon's first touch cushioned the ball, he played it immediately back to Tolói, Cremonese dropped straight into a terrified 5-4-1, the two wing-backs—Sernicola on the right and Valeri on the left—barely ten yards off their own box with five defenders forming a wall across the eighteen-yard line while four midfielders collapsed inward.


Atalanta pinged it side to side in big, slow arcs.
