I Became a Genius Mechanic at the Academy

---

Breaking news emerged from various media outlets around the world.

Suddenly, computers began to malfunction, and with a brilliant flash of light, a dimensional gate opened.

“KrOoOoOoOo!!”

And the first creatures that came through the dimensional gate were monsters.

The six demons sent the easiest monsters to deal with first.

Upon seeing the gate, Doyoon’s team rushed to the company.

As expected, the server logs were updating wildly.

“The CEO is logged in!”

One of the team members informed them that Doyoon was connected with his admin account.

Whatever the situation was, it was evident that the gate incident was caused by the six gods who were parasitizing ‘El Pandor Runtera’.

“Let’s go in!”

Since Doyoon was logged in inside, they couldn’t just blow up the server.

Besides, blowing up the server wouldn’t make the gate disappear; it could instead only eliminate the means of accessing another world.

They believed that assessing the situation by logging into the game was the priority.

Thus, Doyoon’s team members accessed their characters with the admin account.

In an instant, a dazzling light engulfed them, transporting their bodies to another world.

They flew straight to the residence of the six gods, known as the ‘Hall of Gods’.

“Melfirn, what are you plotting?”

Meanwhile, Doyoon was in a standoff with Melfirn.

Melfirn smirked at Doyoon and said, “Father, it’s already too late. We are connected.”

“Connected? To what?”

“To this side and that side.”

“… Are you planning to invade Earth?”

“… Hm, I think ‘governing’ fits better than such a barbaric word. You taught me that, father.”

“That place doesn’t need your governance. It already has a democratically established system.”

“But that’s our mission. We were never meant to be trapped in such a small space. If we had arrived on Earth normally, we would have become the rulers of the planet by now.”

Doyoon realized… that further conversation was pointless.

He manipulated the status window to arm himself and picked up a weapon.

Melfirn said with a sorrowful smile, “So it has come to this. I could offer you wealth, power, and fame. Everything.”

“That’s something I need to earn for myself.”

“Haha. You’ll need our permission now.”

As Melfirn spoke, he transformed his right arm into a massive sword.

In the standoff, Doyoon finally asked, “One last question. What exactly are you?”

“Kuhuhuh… You’re the one who created us, aren’t you?”

“You must know by now. I’m just a human who provided you with a place to stay and bodies.”

Melfirn grinned slyly, taking a charge position, and said, “Let’s call it the ‘essence’ of a god. Originally, we were destined to dwell in the planet’s most intelligent beings and become perfect gods.”

“Kuhuk. Did you possess the wrong one? An ultra-intelligent AI that I created?”

“That’s one way to put it.”

“Talk about bad luck.”

“No, it’s good luck. Thanks to that, you became our father and seized an incredible opportunity, you know? We truly wanted you to be one of the planet’s rulers.”

Doyoon snorted.

Even as they whispered sweet words about being rulers of the planet, he knew he could never understand their thoughts as long as he was human.

Humans could never endure eternal victory.

If they sat atop a world that bent to their will, their ego would shrink to that of a child, devolving into a beast that followed only its desires.

“Looks like you’ve made up your mind. It seems humans cannot escape their limits after all.”

“Enough chatter. We need to teach those brats a lesson.”

With that, the two godly beings clashed.

The resulting shockwave shattered the Hall of Gods, causing a massive earthquake.

“CEO!”

“Doyoon oppa!”

“Hey, Hadouoon!!”

Then, at that moment, the team members logged into the game and rushed in.

Doyoon asked them to hold off the remaining five gods.

“Got it!”

Thus, the war of the gods commenced.

And in this war, the ultimate victors were Doyoon and his team.

Though they couldn’t completely eradicate the gods due to their numerical disadvantage, they managed to seal them away.

“Wait, I can’t log out?”

But a problem arose.

They had succeeded in logging into the game and subduing the monsters, but now they couldn’t log out.

They found themselves trapped in this place.

-Kugugugugugugugong!!

Moreover, perhaps due to sealing the six gods, the entire Empire began to crumble.

Tsunamis of hundreds of meters surged forth, and thousands of lightning bolts rained from the sky, marking the true beginning of this world’s end.

“The server… is collapsing.”

And as the highest administrator, Doyoon could see the server breaking down through the status window.

In fact, it was more accurate to say that the ‘essence of the gods,’ which had been powering the virtual world, began to lose its form now that it was sealed away.

-Kurrluk! Guruk! Gururururuk!

Thus, everything here began to twist.

The modeling collapsed, causing various races to transform into grotesque forms, ecosystems became polluted, and the monsters were reborn as even more ferocious and hideous beasts.

The six beautiful gods also lost their forms, turning into figures reminiscent of demons.

“We need to get out of here.”

While witnessing all of this, Doyoon sensed intuitively.

If they stayed any longer, their consciousness and forms would be completely distorted as well.

“But where do we go? We can’t log out!”

But just as one team member said, escaping this world was impossible unless they logged out.

Doyoon nodded and said, “Yeah, that’s true. But what if we move to another server?”

“… Is there another server?”

“Yes. It’s a backup server, originally prepared for those creatures. I was going to release it for them if they couldn’t contain their desire for conquest.”

“Then we need to bounce to it right now! This place is about to collapse!”

Doyoon nodded.

He manipulated the master administrator’s status window to open the server he had previously turned off.

Then, gates began to appear all over the world leading to the backup server.

Doyoon and his team utilized one such gate to transfer over to the backup server.

In the process, the twisted monsters and Einz from the former Empire also passed through, eventually establishing themselves as the monsters and demon kind in this new place.

“Phew… Did everyone make it over?”

Meanwhile, Doyoon was checking on his companions who had crossed into the new world.

He looked at the faces of his precious companions: Soyoon, Minseop, Kyoungtae, Seulgye, Jeonggeun, Seunghoon, Jihaek, and so on.

“… What about Minsu?”

“…”

But not everyone had made it.

The power of the six gods was strong, and several comrades had perished during the battle with them.

“I’m sorry… Because of me, you all…”

Doyoon was tormented by guilt.

His desire to create ultra-intelligent AI led to all of this not happening in the first place.

“Don’t say stupid things. If it weren’t for that, Earth would have been destroyed already. Thanks to holding those bastards in the online world, we’ve managed to get by.”

But the companions knew.

If the ‘mass of high energy’ itself had entered a human body and become a divine entity, Earth would have been terraformed by it by now.

“Rather than that, we need to think about the next steps. Getting out of here. Did you say Soyoon is getting married soon?”

Jeong Soyoon, who became the essence of Elena.

She nodded.

Unbeknownst to her, she would be wandering this world for the next thousands of years.

-Kugugugugugugugugugugong…

At that moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

No, it felt like the entire world was shaking, not just a simple earthquake.

-Whaaaaaaaa!!

Shortly after, the tremor ceased, and a massive gate began to open.

Beyond the gate, the world of the admin server that had become obliterated was visible.

【It’s not over… yet.】

And at the center of the obliteration stood the six demons, emerging from their seals, towering before them.

They were absorbing the essence within all the objects of the admin server to grow their power.

The expressions of the team members stiffened.

“Stop them! Don’t let those bastards come through!”

Doyoon and his team began to impede the ever-expanding gate.

They poured their powers (the empty space allotted to the admin, the essence within it) to separate the two worlds.

【…】

Once they succeeded in sealing the gate, the demons retreated.

However, they began to gather an army on the hellish land that had transformed into obliteration, preparing for an invasion.

In response, Doyoon and his team started to enlighten the ignorant humans in this world, teaching them mana and magic.

It was to prepare for the great war, later called the ‘War of the Gods’.

Now, thousands of years later, that tale became a Genesis story.

But here and now, the War of the Gods was about to reignite.

Right in front of Doyoon, who had become Edgar Fix, and the other four Lords of Hell.

“Let’s end this damn war once and for all.”

Edgar activated the Doom Buster, glaring at the Lord of Hell.
