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 for halftime blew and Atalanta walked off quickly with heads down while the Juventus crowd remained loud—voices still chanting, drums still beating—and the noise followed them to the tunnel entrance where it faded behind concrete walls.


The broadcast lingered on the scoreboard displaying 2–0 in white digits, and the camera held on it for three seconds before cutting to a replay of Vlahović's goal.


"Juventus have controlled midfield territory completely. They've forced Atalanta wide, denied rhythm through positioning and pressure rather than fouls, and now they've converted that dominance into a two-goal lead."


"Atalanta haven't found any consistent way to build through the middle. Every time Walter receives, two players arrive immediately. The safe passes get intercepted, the ambitious ones don't connect."


Inside the away dressing room, there was no shouting.
