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 bus pulled up to GEWISS STADIUM's players' entrance at quarter past five, and immediately Demien could see the crowd gathered behind barriers—hundreds of fans wearing Atalanta's black and blue, holding scarves and banners, phones raised to capture the team's arrival.


The noise hit as soon as the bus doors opened.


His name was shouted louder than most, and as he stepped off the bus behind Koopmeiners the volume increased while scattered laughter mixed with the cheers, and someone yelled something in Italian about Friday night that made several fans nearby crack up.


Demien couldn't help but smile slightly while shaking his head, and he raised one hand in a brief wave without stopping because engaging too much would only extend the moment, and the teasing was good-natured rather than hostile which made it easier to absorb.
