[The mother nest will find the soul that suits it best, and that soul will be the unquestionable lord of the insect hive.]
When the king returns,
your will is the swarm's will.
Where your will leads, there the blades shall strike.

Filian,
perhaps you are not
a replica of the Mother Queen.
*
Filian, when you died as a human,
what were you thinking when you were born from an egg sac?
Did you know that, in the future, your offspring would spread across the Evia System?
Filian was human.
Born an orphan, he was sold by the planet's ruler to the Seventh Research Institute as disposable test material.
After one cruel genetic experiment after another, his genes subtly fused with those of the Mother Queen.
Though the fusion rate was only 13%,
compared to the test subjects who died, it was an unprecedented breakthrough.
Filian's body underwent irreversible changes. He was hungry every moment of every day.
No amount of food could fill his stomach. He wanted to eat something more delicious.
So his body began giving off a honeyed fragrance.
The scent drew the attention of the higher insectoids.
This cold-blooded, violent race seized the research institute.
Filian was captured by Zoi, a Red Wasp, and taken to Adaris, the insectoid homeworld, to stand trial.
His crime: blaspheming against the Mother Queen!
On the way to Adaris, he died in an unexpected cosmic storm.
On the third day after his death, he opened his eyes inside a dead egg on a desolate planet.
Reading guide:
1. The protagonist is probably a gentle, take-charge shou. He's also a MaMa, and a tyrant.
2. This is a Mother Queen story, so it's definitely not 1v1.
