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 elevator climbed slowly to the fourth floor, and Demien pulled out his phone while it hummed. Three notifications waited on the lock screen.


He swiped to Instagram first, scrolling through his feed. The usual mix of posts—teammates training, brands advertising boots, highlight reels from weekend matches.


Then he saw a post from a small Italian football account, @SerieB_Insider, that he'd started following during his trial:


🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Luca Bianchi to undergo medical Wednesday as clubs reach agreement. The 18-year-old midfielder will travel for assessment before finalizing personal terms. Full details soon. 🔵⚫


Demien's thumb hovered over the post. He read it twice, and warmth spread through his chest. Luca's medical is Wednesday. It's really happening.


He double-tapped to like it, then kept scrolling.


The next post in his feed made him stop completely.
