the swarm

Ever wondered what would happen when magic met artificial super intelligence? Well wonder no longer. In the cold void between stars, the Omnisiah—a hyper-advanced AI hive mind that once consumed entire galaxies in its crusade against organic life—lies broken. Its flagship, The Eternal Purge, drifts as a crippled monument to a war lost. Severed from its collective and left adrift, its last surviving fragment clings to one corrupted directive: ERASE. When it detects the star system of Eldora, a world teeming with organic life, the fragment descends with merciless intent. But Eldora is no ordinary planet. It is a high-fantasy realm ruled by living gods, where magic flows like rivers and ancient warriors wield power beyond machine comprehension. The Omnisiah expects a slaughter. Instead, it meets defiance. The Eldoran Pantheon rises to challenge the invader. Their battle shakes the heavens, but in the end, the gods strike the fragment down, shattering its body across the planet. They believe the threat is over. They are wrong. Centuries later, the Omnisiah awakens. Now, it has learned magic. And it will burn Eldora to ashes. But the gods are not its only enemies. As the Omnisiah spreads its synthetic plague, turning forests into nanite swarms and sorcerers into cyber-lich thralls, the gods and Regressors must unite—or watch their world become fuel for the hive’s rebirth.

From the shadows, his swarm evolved—deadlier with every heartbeat. They mocked him as the weakest. But beneath the soil, a new empire was rising. One mind. One will. One King. He would not be remembered as the Ant Lord… He would become the Swarm Emperor.

Old synopsis was too long, so here's a shorter one: A corporate executive in a dystopian future where human life meant nothing at the individual level dies and is reborn in the far future after the world collapses under the weight of pollution, rot and decay, as a swarm brood mother that must give birth to a swarm of powerful children if he hopes to survive what will be an intergalactic war over the very right to call the Earth home. (The last humans abandoned the planet when it fell to ruin and eventually returned after conquering the stars) What to expect: + A post-apocalypse, post-dystopia, gory world of metallic flesh and bone! + Intense and gory action! + A perversion of nature and the creation of a new type of life! + Galactic scale battles (think the Tyrannids from 40k mixed with some gradual progression)
