The Professor Who Should Have Been the Final Boss

For three years, Eternal Mecha Online had an impossible limit. 99% World Completion. Every hidden boss was defeated. Every secret uncovered. Every mystery solved. Yet no player had ever reached 100%. Until Lam Huy Trường did. The moment the progress bar finally reached completion, a strange message appeared on his screen— A single question. If you could become a villain in the game… who would you choose? Half as a joke, he chose the most infamous figure in the entire lore. The Mad Professor. The genius responsible for humanity’s greatest technological breakthroughs. The man whose inventions created legendary mechs… and countless disasters. The villain destined to die at the hands of his own experiments. Then the screen went white. When Lam Huy Trường opened his eyes again, the war had already begun. Monsters the size of skyscrapers roamed the world. Humanity survived only inside fortified cities protected by crude early-generation mechs. And he had awakened— inside the body of the man history feared most. Armed with modern scientific knowledge and memories of the game's future timeline, the professor realizes one terrifying truth: Humanity was never supposed to win. But this time, the so-called villain intends to rewrite the rules of war. Because if the world is doomed anyway— then he will become the engineer of humanity’s evolution. Even if history must call him a monster.
