In the year 4202, humanity and Systems had coexisted for 2,178 years. Everyone was born with a System.
Yaliluo was born with a comics System, and after coming of age and entering the workforce, he became a comics editor.
He may not love his job, but he and his comics System get along well. They read comics together, explore shops, and book sightseeing trips around the solar system.
In this world where people and Systems coexist, all intelligent life shares one goal: ascension to a higher dimension. Before the universe is destroyed, humanity must find a way to escape.
Yaliluo and his System always thought of themselves as tiny fish swept along by the tides of history. But when the global System upgrade came, he was thrown out of the universe.
Good news: He transmigrated, but didn't die.
Bad news: He turned into an insect.
Good news: His System is still with him.
Bad news: His good-for-nothing System can still only draw comics.
System: QAQ Xiao Luo, you turned into an insect, and a male one at that. I watched a nature documentary. Weak males like you can't find females to reproduce with.
Yaliluo: ...First, help me look over this hypothesis about an intelligent AI construction program and see if it's feasible.
System (obediently taking the paper with its little hands): Why do I have to read this? Am I not intelligent enough?
Yaliluo: I'm the one who's not strong enough.
The comics-obsessed System: Ohhh, only the strong deserve to have beauties!
After the System learned how cruel the insect world was:
System (now corrupted): Kill all the insects. The world belongs to humanity.
Yaliluo, adjusting the spaceship as he prepares to escape the insect world: Whatever makes you happy.
After escaping and settling into a peaceful life, Yaliluo and his System don't forget their old trade. They start drawing comics for fun. Since his companion System draws comics, Yaliluo naturally assumes it likes comics too.
Yaliluo: ovo
System (now corrupted): Ohhh, let's draw the Insect Queen and the Rabbit Pope!
System (now corrupted): Next, Star Swarm: Eternal Oblivion!
System (now corrupted): Ohhh, let's check this one out too, Slaughter: Dead Silence.
The central theme is simple: Insects, you have no chance of ascending to a higher dimension. Go die with your genes locked in place.
Yaliluo, who got in touch with his original universe and discovered his newly published comics had become a hit: ...Is this what people are into now?
But they never imagined that the new comics wouldn't just be visible to people in his original universe. The insects could read The Insect Queen and the Rabbit Pope too.
Insects: What! So we have a queen?
Insects: What? So we're supposed to be a hive mind?
Insects: What?!! We're failed products abandoned by the queen and the mother?!
The insects cried as they sent money to the old author: Tell us, Mother, what is love?
Yaliluo: Is it possible that all of this is just the delusion of a corrupted little System?
Theme: No matter what your circumstances, work hard and strive to better yourself
