The year is 5847, and interstellar wars rage on. Meteorite impacts have torn the stars apart.
The planets have splintered, but the war between humanity and the insectoids has not stopped. They are so frenzied that they invade planets just to expand their territory.
One day, a military officer happened to pass an alley. Something seemed to draw him in, a subconscious urge to approach.
A captivating, sweet scent drifted from the alley. It was both familiar and strange, as if he had smelled it a century ago...
The scent drew him inside.
The alley was very dark, but something glimmered at the far end.
He went closer and saw an exceptionally beautiful "low-level insect" curled up on the dusty ground, fast asleep.
The sweet scent came from him, growing stronger by the second.
Before the officer could get a better look, a clear voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
[He has been born.]
His brain short-circuited. For a moment, he did not know whether to kneel or bow...

Qiu Qing felt a little uncomfortable and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he did, he saw a huge, terrifying insect staring intently at him.
He had never been in a situation like this before. With the war raging, his home had been bombed, and he had no choice but to hide in the alley, hoping to find warmth and safety.
His head was still foggy, but he shrank back a little anyway. He had to protect himself.
"Don't come any closer."
The insect in front of him stopped. Its expression was hard to read and frightening...
"Who... are you...?"
Before he could finish, the tall, powerful insect dropped to one knee with a thump.
"I've come to take you home."

The insectoid swarm gathered around the one who looked so young and low-ranked, craning their necks with curiosity.
Insect A: You're too skinny! You need to eat more.
Insect B: Which big bed would you like to sleep in tonight? Mine is very soft.
Insect C: Love you, love you, love you, love you!
They rushed to show off, as if hoping the little insect would choose them.
But Qiu Qing only blinked in confusion. He couldn't sense the swarm. His rank was too low, so he couldn't tell who they were.
"I-I don't know you..."
The swarm: Oh no! His rank is a little low, so he doesn't recognize us. We're waiting online and getting desperate.
The swarm: Ceasefire with all our might. There's an urgent family matter. The war is over.
They had something more important to do.
They needed to help their mother raise his rank so he could sense and accept them better.
So they had to make a strong impression on their little insect mother while they had the chance, and help him level up.

After some time, a particularly attentive officer opened his notebook and recorded everything:
1. Watch him finish all three meals. No picky eating; his diet must be balanced.
2. Stand guard beside him while he sleeps at night, in case some lecherous insect tries anything.
3. Keep a close eye on him while he bathes, or he might choke on the water.
4. The little insect mother's skin is delicate. Don't be too rough when getting affectionate. Be gentle.
5. When he's in heat, be sure to...
Most important: cherish him and protect him. Don't let him suffer any grievances. Let your love for him overflow.
The day their mother transforms will be the day he chooses one of them.
*When He is born and destiny arrives, where will they go from there?
Reader's Guide:
1. Both leads are each other's only partners. He is doted on by everyone, who love and want to protect him. The recipient is an adult; he only looks young because his rank is low.
2. There will be some explanatory narration. The story has a ranking system, progressing from low to high.
3. A sweet, cozy, comforting story about being raised and cherished by everyone.
4. I haven't thought of anything else yet. I'll add more later.
