The Human Marshal Writes Novels in the Zerg Empire

Hoss, humanity’s supreme Alpha commander, transmigrates back to the eve of the war between humanity and the insect race.

Humans and insects originated from the same civilization. Alpha pheromones completely overpower those of male insects and can perfectly soothe and mark female insects. But the Insect Breeders’ Association has kept this crucial information under wraps. To weaken the military, they spread claims that humans are a threat and force wave after wave of female soldiers onto the battlefield.

“Humans are barbaric.”

“Human pheromones will only destroy female insects.”

“Don’t be blinded by the sugar-coated bullets humans use to deceive you.”

…

At this point, the wormhole connecting the human and insect worlds is still three years from appearing.

The Alpha, transmigrated to a remote planet, finally earns enough from hunting to buy a brain-computer. The first thing he does after turning it on is type the long-planned title of his novel: "After Accidentally Traveling Through a Wormhole, I Met My Fated S-Rank Human Male Master."

The novel quickly becomes a sensation throughout the insect world. Before humans have even arrived, its oppressed female insects have already formed a deep first impression of humans as kind and devoted.

While investigating a rebellion, Percival unexpectedly acquires two vials of super-S-rank male insect pheromones. Their source is unknown, but their genetic rating exceeds every record in the history of the insect race.

The source of all these strange events points to one peculiar sub-male.

He claims to be a “human pioneer.”

With Hoss’s guidance, the military’s radar picks up a signal from the other side of the distant universe. Before long, their long-distance communication is packaged as a massive virtual-reality game and launched with the slogan, “A top-tier human partner for every player.”

On its first day, the game’s registration page crashes under the traffic. The lucky female insects who get in drool over the stunningly modeled “NPCs.”

A year later, the wormhole appears, and the game’s “NPCs” become real, living humans. They show up in front of the female insects and demand that the players fulfill the promises of lifelong devotion they made in the game.

To set an example for how the two sides might interact in real life, a unique livestream quietly begins.

In front of the camera, Hoss takes Percival’s fingertips in his hand. Noticing the other man’s stiff muscles, he gently explains:

“Holding hands is a way of showing affection in the human world.”

The clever butterfly insect takes the hint. He twists his wrist free of Hoss’s grasp, then turns the tables and encloses the Alpha’s palm in his own.

Less than a month after the wormhole appears, the first marriage between an insect and a human takes place. Only then does everyone realize that the insect race, with its many females and few males, and humanity, with its many Alphas and few Omegas, are clearly each other’s salvation. Human Alphas not only perfectly match female insects’ tastes, they can also soothe and mark them, allowing them to conceive and lay little insect eggs.

The wormhole’s unexpected arrival is the universe’s most romantic gift.
