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 blew and play restarted with Højlund touching the ball backward, and Udinese's shape immediately pushed higher than it had been in the first half.


Walace closed on Demien before the ball even reached him, and Pereyra stepped up aggressively to press Koopmeiners, and the shift in intent was visible across Udinese's entire formation because sitting back at 2-0 down had produced nothing but frustration.


The first ten minutes were disjointed as Udinese won territory through physical challenges and second balls, and Atalanta's rhythm from the first half disappeared under the pressure.


In the forty-eighth minute Walace challenged De Roon aggressively near the halfway line and forced a loose ball that Pereyra collected, and the Argentine midfielder drove forward before playing wide to Deulofeu who had drifted inside from the left wing.
