It takes two steps to go from human to male insect.
First, transmigrate for no apparent reason into an ABO world and become an alpha.
Second, after twenty years of obeying the law, turn into an egg. Apparently, this is the insect world.
In the first world, people admired good alphas who were gentle and kind and respected omegas' wishes. So Theodore spent more than twenty years single, always following the rules and never marking an omega without permission. He devoted himself to finding his destined little omega, only to receive a nice-guy card.
Well, in the end, he chose an alpha who couldn't keep his mouth shut, bit people all over the place, and turned red-eyed at the drop of a hat. They said only his beloved little omega could calm him down, and that the two of them were a perfect match.
Now he's become a male insect, and the insect world promotes free love and encourages male insects to "have more children, have better children, and marry as many as you can."
Family, or, no, fellow insects, do you think I can trust this one?
Whether I can or not, Theodore isn't going to hang himself from the same tree again. He's determined never to get another nice-guy card, human or insect, so his strategy is to spread his efforts around and make the first move.
To his taciturn military-insect neighbor, who secretly watches over him: "Adrian, you're an outstanding military insect, but I prefer petite, adorable female insects. This is my fault, so please forget about me."
The neighbor: "..."
If you're going to turn me down, could you at least stop moving while you say it?
To his gentle, helpful boss: "Mr. Gabriel, you're so charming and elegant. It's just a shame that we're colleagues, and our company doesn't encourage office romances. I don't want to get in the way of the promising future you've worked so hard for. I'll be happy just watching you from afar."
Watching the male insect's unsteady, reluctant retreat, Gabriel: "..."
Whoever gives in first is a ninja insect.
To the widowed female insect whose beauty he coveted and whom he rescued: "Poor Adonis, you're so gentle and adorable, and so considerate of other insects. But I only see your little female cub as my own child. I just want to help you. You don't have to force yourself for my sake."
Looking at the male insect's head buried against his chest, Adonis: "..."
...Theodore always thought that things had stayed peaceful for so long because he'd been so careful to maintain the balance. That was until one day, when he happened to see the three of them together.
Clutching his head, he braced for a fight and couldn't bear to listen. But they were surprisingly calm, almost as if they had known one another for ages, and were discussing who should be the primary consort.
Theodore: ??
So the insect world really is serious about this.
P.S. A little green-tea insect adored by every insect: a mischievous little schemer who loves putting on an act.
He really is adored by every insect. That means acquaintances and strangers, couples and non-couples, female and male insects alike: they all unconditionally take his side.
