Transcendence: Flesh and Chitin

Born from an experiment merging human and Vescarid DNA, Darian awakens in a world he knows only as reality--his purpose is to create a vast, evolving hive to dominate this world. But the world is no ordinary realm; it is Transcendence Online, a cutting-edge VR experience where players seek glory, treasure, and conquest. Unaware of his artificial nature, Darian embraces his role as Hive King, torn between his lingering humanity and the relentless instincts of his Vescarid lineage.

He must rise beyond mere existence and establish dominance before the world crushes him. Hunted by players, manipulated by unseen forces, and challenged by an even greater Vescarid threat, Darian must decide: will he become the bridge between species or the threat that is destined to dominate the world?
