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 training pitch was already set up when the squad arrived, with cones marking out specific drill stations and the coaching staff holding clipboards and discussing organization, and Carsley gathered everyone at midfield before splitting them into position groups.


"Wingers with Simon," Carsley called, and Demien moved toward the group that included Reece Darlow, Javier Crane, and Nathaniel Cross, and immediately the familiar discomfort of operating outside his natural position settled over him.


Simon organized the first drill with cones marking out a wide channel and a defender positioned to simulate one-versus-one situations, and his instructions came quickly because time was limited.


"Germany's fullbacks push high. When we win the ball, we'll have one-versus-one opportunities in wide areas. I need decisiveness. Receive, assess, attack. Two touches maximum before you commit to a decision."
