Offer Up My Heart for My Lord's Arrival [Insectoid]

Yaoguang is a devoted player of the RPG game Insect Universe.

She rebuilt desolate planets, explored the universe, and fought in interstellar wars, grinding every module to MAX. Then she began a gaming career that was supposedly about recruiting subordinates, but was really about collecting a harem.

A defective specimen, wandering among countless star systems and unable to complete its metamorphosis, was rescued by her from an insect graveyard and carefully raised. Its scaled wings scattered stardust capable of tearing through space and time.

A cold-blooded weapon that fed on its own kind and slept in the cracks of wormholes was subdued by her strength, then willingly put on shackles to restrain itself. It suppressed its hunger and desire, and pledged allegiance to her.

Another heir to the throne, born in the same nest and competing for the queen's crown, was raised by her at her side. On the day of transformation, it gave up its status as heir, metamorphosed, and became the sharpest blade in her hands.

The insect race did not practice monogamy, and Yaoguang got the delightfully familiar reverse-harem ending.

Then... she was transported into the game.

Good news: Her game progress was retained.

Bad news: Every character, including the protagonist, had maximum affection for her from the start.

Yaoguang: Is it possible that the point of my game was raising daughters?

Wait, why is my good girl also... (trails off.jpg)

*

The insect race knew that their true master was someone else.

She descended from beyond the stars, raised their weak heir to the throne, and saved them from endless suffering.

"I offer up my body."

"I offer up my time, which will never reach its end."

"I offer up my surging love."

"I offer up half my soul."

"We pray for your arrival."
