[The prophecy says that the apocalypse will come in the year 20,000 of the Star Calendar.]
Of course, nobody believed it.
Xing An had always been the brightest star at the Empire's Star Academy. But everything changed after he accepted an alpha's confession. The malice and arrogance of those around him overwhelmed him.
Abuse and slander came one after another. He was expelled from school, despised by the people, and then exiled.
His legs were broken, leaving him able to crawl slowly across the ground. He was blind, able to see only faint circles of light.
They threw him out of a spaceship. The people watched as Xing An dragged his battered body along and finally reached out to beg them for mercy. All he got in return was even more vicious mockery.
In the end, they laughed and walked away.

The lowly insectoids called him that as they placed Xing An upon their supreme throne.
Xing An remembered. His memories were real. He truly was the Insect Mother.
The Insect Mother had been gone for ten thousand years. In that time, the insectoids had rapidly degenerated. The royal insects had died amid their growing madness, and by now, the insectoids had long since vanished. Only some inferior insectoids, driven by instinct alone, still appeared on desolate planets.
No one thought the insectoids were a threat.
But one day, all the major news outlets simultaneously broadcast a terrifying image.
The beautiful young man who was said to have died long ago looked into the camera and announced in a cold voice:
[The apocalypse is coming.]
