Unlucky Office Worker Turns Into an Insect Queen

[The mommy prototype isn't a cockroach, it's just a meme, T~T]

Blurb:

After transmigrating to an alien planet, unlucky corporate drone Percy finally gets his golden finger.

[Static... Esteemed Queen of the Insects, Insect Queen System 007 is at your service... Static.]

Percy: ?

[Now, please give birth to your first child and begin your magnificent career as the Queen of the Insects...]

At that moment, the battered corporate drone clutches his wound and blacks out: Damn it, I'm about to get captured and sold as a slave. Where am I supposed to find a baby? And I'm a man, okay?! Guys can't be moms!

After transmigrating to an alien planet, an unlucky corporate drone whose hidden identity is Queen of the Insects gets a golden finger that's just a stupid game he tested during overtime!

Even worse, this half-dead golden finger is set in a primitive era. He has to farm, raise kids, and build up his clan?

Corporate drone: Buddy, this version is outdated! I mean, I'm not in the primitive era! Don't be like my college career-planning class, okay?

In the Era of Starlight, the Primordial Mother vanished thousands of years ago. Her loyal children, waiting day after day, slowly grew mad and obsessive.

The Primordial Queen of the Insects is a mirage that no insect can ever touch.

They seethe with resentment. Why did she abandon me? Why won't she come back? Why give me love only to take it away? Mother, Mother... Why would the one who gave me bone and blood, who shaped my soul and flesh, abandon me?

Mother, if being a good child won't earn your love, then... Heh, bad mothers deserve to be punished, don't they?

Mother, you who flow with honey and milk, your starving children have waited for years.

Percy, the corporate drone who has unlocked his hidden identity as Queen of the Insects: ...You guys really sound like stalkers. I mean, this is kind of messed up. Tsk, hide it, hide it, hide my little secret. Hiss... The best disguise is hiding in plain sight!

New supplies have arrived in the lawless zone for soothing livestreams!

Unlike the previous batches, one of these slaves dares to imitate their mother! Their supreme mother, their neglectful mother...

Before watching: The insects rage. What kind of trash dares to impersonate Mother?!

After watching: The insects insist. Hmph, as expected, he's trash. This sort of nobody dares to impersonate Mom?

(They take another look.) Hmph, it's not like I'm jealous of the defective one in his arms. I'm just saying, if you're going to put on a show, you should find a good actor. Like me, for instance.

(Still insisting.) I'm not obligated to love him. I'm only tipping to torment him, to pelt him with money...

No one thinks this crude imitation, Percy, could be the legendary Queen of the Insects returned. The insects mock him, yet can't help sneaking glances; they pretend not to care, yet envy the insect in his arms.

Until the day the Queen of the Insects was gravely wounded and her pheromones leaked. Only then did they realize their mother had returned.

Sefati x Percy [Ironclad 1v1] [Ironclad Happy Ending]

P.S.:

1. This is an indulgence fic. Hehe, Queen of the Insects! Praise the Queen of the Insects! The worldbuilding is entirely my own. If that's not your thing, please leave.

2. The love interest is pretty twisted. Extremely twisted.

3. The other children love their little mommy too, but Mommy won't return their feelings.

4. This is a fictional setting unrelated to reality. Please don't apply it to real life.

☆ Another Queen of the Insects story coming soon: Queen of the Insects: Disguised as a Goblin

[If you're interested, please add it to your favorites. Heart!]

In the year 4567 of the Star Calendar, the Federation killed the Queen of the Insects and crushed the evil ruling insect race. Once glorious, the insect race led by its Queen disappeared entirely from the interstellar map. Of course, every race still remains vigilant against the insects' lingering influence. They must never let this scourge of the stars rise again!

You transmigrate. Now you're a wretched commoner scraping by in an underground city, a filthy rat in the gutter, without even half a star coin to your name. And to make matters worse, you're the Queen of the Insects.

Yes, that Queen of the Insects, the scourge of the stars who was already defeated, the soul and banner of the insect race, its supreme ruler.

Jafeis: ...Those insults are awful. Damn you, cruel heavens!

I was born to be king. I'm sorry.

Just as Jafeis was about to find a comfortable way to end things, the System arrived!

Ta-da-da-da!

A thunderous crash rang across the sky, and the System made its dazzling entrance.

The System swore to help you reclaim your throne.

Jafeis (hopeful) (rubbing his hands): Dear System, do you have any brilliant ideas for our current predicament?!

System (confidently):

[Disguise function activating. Starter gift pack delivered! Dear Host, please draw a card to get your limited-time disguise skin~]

[Wow! Congratulations, Host! You've won a trial identity: Goblin skin for thirty days!!!]

[Main Quest 1: Escape the underground city. Complete the quest to earn one card draw!!!]

Jafeis: ???

Jafeis (on the verge of tears): What do you mean?! I went from being the evil Queen of the Insects to a notorious goblin?! You useless System! I want a refund, I want a refund, aaaaaah!

Yes, the identity crisis has temporarily been resolved. But as a goblin, even if Jafeis picked up trash in the underground city for 800 lifetimes, he could never scrape together the 100,000 star coins needed to escape!

...In the year 4567 of the Star Calendar, the Queen of the Insects died and her nest was destroyed. In theory, another Queen of the Insects could never be born again.

The few surviving insects disguised themselves and hid among the other races, stirring up trouble and nursing a deep hatred!

As a surviving royal insect who was born alongside the Queen of the Insects, Useti didn't value his useless life. As long as he could get revenge, he was willing to give up everything he had

Wait, what's with that goblin?!!!

You vile goblin, stay back! Don't use this so-called massage as an excuse to cop a feel... A goblin running a massage service? You're not even trying to hide it, are you?!

The gravely wounded, shrunken Useti was taken home by an evil goblin! How terrifying. Great Queen of the Insects, why can I sense your presence on this evil goblin? It must be an illusion. It has to be an illusion!!!

Brave Useti escaped the evil goblin's clutches, only to encounter a strange slime (crossed out), a goblin (crossed out)...

Useti: ???

Useti: !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

The evil Jafeis works diligently every step of the way, building up his business and hating every job he takes. With the Queen of the Insects' innate, powerful ability to soothe and heal, he impersonates all sorts of people and swindles his way around, curing all kinds of "incurable conditions"!!!

Jafeis: Heh heh heh, grow bigger and stronger, and reach new heights!

Jafeis: Huh, I have "kids" too?! I'll pick them up.

Jafeis: ♬︎*(๑ºั╰︎╯︎ºั๑)♡︎

At last, the evil Queen of the Insects wins the resurrection race and leads the insect race in a grand, righteous conquest across the world...

System: Ooh, let's get fired up!

Born to be king, reclaiming the throne.

Useti x Jafeis [Ironclad 1v1]

Theme: Never give up or abandon hope in difficult circumstances. Stay optimistic.
