Reborn as the Lord of Ten Thousand Insects

[System-focused + Overpowered Protagonist + Evolution]

Li Chen wakes up one day to find he's become a caterpillar.

No golden finger, no beginner's protection, and even crawling takes all the strength he has. The System panel coldly displays four words: Combat Power: 1.

By this world's system of measurement, that's about 0.01 ants.

In this perilous, rotting jungle, any creature could crush him with ease. Beetles, spiders, ants, centipedes... He's at the very bottom of the food chain, walking protein, a snack for everyone.

But Li Chen refuses to accept that.

In his previous life, he died suddenly after a night of overtime. He'd made peace with that. But now that he'd been given a second life, even as a bug, he was determined to crawl to the very top of this world!

Fortunately, there is always a way forward: the [Divine Insect Evolution System] awakens at the crucial moment.

Consume, evolve, transform. From a soft-bodied larva to an iron-armored one, from the lowest mortal rank to the ruler of all insects. As long as he keeps eating and evolving, nothing can stop him from climbing higher!

A 24-hour countdown: fail the mission and die.

Can't beat an ant? Use your brain. Not strong enough? Use the terrain. If you can't win, hide. If you can't hide, fight. If you can't win that fight, eat!

This is the story of a bug's rise to power.

From beneath the fallen leaves to the heights of myriad worlds...

Watch me start from nothing, devour all things, and evolve into a god!
