Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Adrian only had the chance to open the book now. Male Zerg rarely read or studied, and some had never even attended school. These males would marry females in large numbers to reproduce once they reached a certain age.

Adrian is one of the very few male insects that has read books.

Resources are scarce in slums, and in such an extremely harsh environment, bullying and violence will inevitably flourish. Similarly, because this area is far from the imperial planet and lacks the supervision of female soldiers, the male insects will face an even more precarious situation.

In the Zerg race, the ratio of male to female Zerg can reach 1:1, and the birth of each male Zerg is closely watched by countless eyes.

However, those born in the slums are almost all low-level male insects, with the highest level of mental strength being only D-level, which is completely unable to soothe the chaotic mental sea of ​​female insects.

In Adrian's memory, the chaotic and poorly governed area was often littered with the corpses of male insects who had been gang-raped to death.

The empire will not protect male insects that live in remote and useless areas.

Adrian needs to climb up the ladder; he can't rot in this place.

Escaping the slums was no less difficult than escaping a closed cage. Adrian, with his high level of mental strength, was fortunate enough to receive help from the current fifth prince of the empire, Sean, after hiding in various places.

Sean was also a male insect, and his level was one level higher than Adrian's. After learning about Adrian's situation, he took him out of the slums and helped him obtain a resident permit on the Imperial Star.

Adrian only learned of Sean's identity after moving to the Imperial Star. Sean was not only the fifth prince, but also the current crown prince of the empire and the future Insect Emperor.

Adrian was surprised by Sean's identity, and in some ways felt more gratitude and respect than anything else towards Sean.

Later, Adrian accompanied Sean to the palace many times and saw many things he had never seen before. Gold, jewels, crystals, jade ornaments... he was almost always speechless at the extravagant lifestyle of the royal male insects.

When Adrian first arrived on the Imperial Star, he didn't have such great ambitions. Although he had some yearning for the throne, he wasn't about to compete with Sean for it.

But Sean's gaze towards him had already subtly changed.

He said that Adrian's eyes resembled those of his queen.

Sean's queen was seriously wounded on the battlefield in her early years and has been bedridden ever since, practically a vegetable. Sean is deeply in love with his queen and has never forgotten her all these years.

Adrian sensed something was wrong after hearing Sean's words.

He was a male insect, and he had absolutely no interest in Sean, a homosexual insect, especially since Sean wanted Adrian to be his secret lover.

Homosexuality is illegal, and Sean, unwilling to damage their reputations, attempts to keep Adrian locked in the basement for his amusement for the rest of his life.

How is this life any different from Adrian's previous life in the slums?

"So you're planning to kill him and seize the throne?" Kuqieku admired Adrian's change of heart.

Adrian shrugged: "There's nothing we can do about it, he brought it on himself."

"After all, when he sent the bugs to beat me to a pulp in the slums... he didn't hold back at all." Adrian chuckled, leaning back on the sofa with a bored expression, and turned away, no longer speaking.

Sean had long harbored designs on Adrian.

Every beating Adrian endured in the slums, every accident he encountered... was orchestrated by Sean.

His male father died, and his female father was beaten and crippled, and soon after, he also passed away, leaving Adrian behind.

Adrian had looked at the black rain that often dripped from the sky above the slums and couldn't understand why the sun never shone on him.

He later learned that Sean had blocked the sunlight from shining on him.

Sean probably thought he had done the perfect thing. He tortured Adrian half to death and then appeared before him as a savior, hoping to make Adrian grateful to him.

Adrian, however, already knew the truth. Living in Sean's shadow, he soon realized that ascending the throne was his only way out.

If Sean were to ascend the throne and become emperor, Adrian would still be destined to be imprisoned and humiliated by him. Rather than that, Adrian might as well fight for himself.

In the end, we did achieve some small results, but too many insects died, and we lost many indescribable things.

Adrian once stood on the throne and looked back. The palace was empty and desolate. The eaves of the palace were so low that they pressed down on his eyes. He could not see the green mountains and trees in the distance, nor could he see the place he had come from.

Sighing at the mere existence of a wretched life.

Adrian's achievement was truly remarkable. However, Sean, being the protagonist, was protected by the world's fortune and managed to escape from Adrian's clutches. A year later, Sean led his army to conquer the imperial city and reclaim the throne.

Adrian ultimately could not escape death.

"This guy is incredibly lucky. I stabbed him over twenty times, his heart is practically ripped out, and he still managed to escape alive." Adrian exclaimed incredulously, "Isn't this like a zombie coming back to life?"

Even in its desperate struggle for survival, it said, "He's the male lead, he's hard to kill."

Adrian gritted his teeth in hatred.

"But are you sure you killed him?" The "Survival of the Fittest" sphere landed on Adrian's head. It wasn't big, but it was quite heavy, causing Adrian's head to droop continuously.

“Yes, I watched him die.” Adrian’s eyes darted around as he repeated, “He was dead then, his body was already stiff.”

The red light on his body flickered, indicating that he had already made a judgment.

The world may grant a person special protection, but whether that protection can be effectively used depends on the person themselves.

As the final villain of this world, Adrian's luck is probably no less than Sean's. Their struggle is considered a normal phenomenon, and the world will not interfere regardless of which side falls.

But Sean died and came back to life...it means something else got mixed up in.

It was clinging to life, not trusting the little energy it possessed. A single PUA ball nearly killed it; the systems in this world might be even more powerful.

"Adrian, you have to try harder!" The creature, "Survival of the Fittest," jumped on Adrian's head and said seriously, "You can't keep doing this! You can't keep doing this! If you keep doing this, we're all doomed!"

Adrian: "..."

The creature, ever wary of its surroundings, quickly shrunk to a spherical size and burrowed into Adrian's jacket pocket, lest it be unknowingly seen by something strange and thus reveal its whereabouts.

Adrian remained silent for a moment before finally turning the page of the white paper.

The Insect God descended upon me on a cold night. He taught me love and bestowed upon me true affection. Reshirobiya will guide me back the way I came; though thorns grow thick, the path I took leads back.

Adrian: "..."
