Lin Wu was transported to the interstellar era and became an incomplete, powerful AI.
He stared expressionlessly at the red warning on his retina:
[Required System components are missing or damaged. Please repair them promptly...]
A thoughtful note in the lower-right corner added:
[Remaining components: 10.57%]
Help! Why is this thing going down, too?!
If he lost an average of 0.1% of his components per month, he could only live 8.808 years?!
How was he supposed to restore his missing System components in an interstellar world where humans, bugs, mutants, and intelligent machines were all fighting each other?
Lin Wu decided to save himself.
From that point on, the bugs had a stupid node-brain among them, one that sent soldiers to their deaths in all kinds of creative ways.
As long as I send enough of them, I'll be the coolest bug around;
The mutants gained a useless bro who couldn't do anything right, but was the undisputed champion of infighting.
As long as I fight hard enough, I'll be the mutant world's number one;
The intelligent machines gained a high-level AI who was always siding with the other team.
As long as I rewrite the central control System fast enough, the intelligent machines will return to humanity's embrace.
He took control of the bugs, wiped out the mutants, and unified the intelligent machine empire...
After turning the whole interstellar world upside down, Lin Wu finally restored all of his System components.
[Current System components: 100%]
He survived.
Watching his ever-reliable companions help him, Lin Wu gave them a five-star rating, then casually pushed one of them onto the throne as ruler of the Human Empire.
On the day of the coronation,
His former companion, now ruler of the Human Empire, announced to the entire interstellar world: "The Empire's central AI is my wife. Mine."
Lin Wu: Huh? Huh?! HUH?!!!

Looking for advance readers for My Husband Pursuit Across the Infinite Game:
Lin Yi closed his eyes and opened them in a new world. He had a cool boyfriend, and they were even married.
But on the day their minds were bonded, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ear:
"Wild Boss No. 059 detected..."
"Wild Boss No. 059 successfully recovered. Formatting progress: 0%... 40%..."
"Beep beep. Anomaly detected. Formatting failed."
"Transferring it to Punishment Instance No. 047!"
Lin Yi didn't resist. He let the chains bind him and his body sink into the deep pool.
In the final second before his consciousness went dormant, Lin Yi could only hope that Ambrose wouldn't go berserk.
Once he finished this awful shift...
He would go find him!
Ambrose's beloved was missing.
He was going mad.
Following a faint, inexplicable feeling, he came to a strange place.
"Welcome, Player No. 78124823, to..."
Ambrose punched a hole through the alloy cabin in front of him. He had no patience for this nonsense.
He had sensed where his beloved was!
A legend circulated among the players: On the day one player entered the game, he destroyed his own safe house, then charged straight into a Punishment Instance.
He destroyed one Punishment Instance after another, climbing all the way to No. 1 on the leaderboard.
The only problem was, he was a complete lunatic who was looking for his wife in an infinite game.
Later, Ambrose finally found Lin Yi.
How had his clean-cut, quiet, and refined boyfriend ended up chopping people with an axe?!
Ambrose took a moment to calm down (and rolled up his sleeves). "Be good, A Yi. An axe will hurt your hands. Tell me who you want to chop."
They say a player who brings an NPC along into game instances has appeared.
The player is named Ambrose, and he calls his NPC...
"My wife."
Theme: Either swim against the current and become king, or face death.
