I Possessed the Game's Doomed Mid-Boss
I possessed the mid-boss of a game I used to play.
A worthless scoundrel who'd thrown away his own fiancée and dragged his reputation through the mud. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the fact that he's the game's mid-boss means his death is practically guaranteed. So the real question is—can someone like me actually survive long enough to graduate?

The weight of that realization hit me like a truck. In the original story, this character—Vern Flame—never makes it past the midpoint. He's the perfect stepping stone for the protagonist: arrogant, isolated, and destined to die a dog's death in some forgotten dungeon. His engagement was already shattered, his family name was a punchline, and every faction in the academy had him marked for elimination.
But I'm not Vern. Not anymore.
I'm the guy who spent hundreds of hours grinding through Oasis Academy, memorizing every quest, every hidden stat, and every single bad ending. If anyone has a shot at rewriting this trash character's fate, it's me. The question is whether I can claw my way out of rock bottom before the main plot kicks in and the world itself tries to delete me.
Graduation? Yeah. I'll graduate. Even if I have to burn the entire academy down and rebuild it from the ashes just to make sure I walk out those gates alive.
After all, in a world governed by game logic, knowledge is the ultimate cheat code. And I've got the strategy guide memorized.
