Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was an ordinary salaryman, resigned to a dull life of monotony in a towering megacity. But his world shatters when he's conscripted by Nexum Dynamics, a ruthless megacorporation, and thrust into a brutal war for a barren, alien world. The planet holds unimaginable riches, but it’s also swarming with the Krhyssari, an insectoid race that dominates the surface with their hive-mind precision and relentless aggression. Amid the carnage, Rex had an extraordinary encounter with Cleo, an ancient AI, a survivor of a long-extinct civilization. Cleo isn't just an artificial intelligence; she’s a consciousness imbued with memories of her people's interstellar empire and equipped with advanced bio-nanotechnology. Offering Rex a new purpose and unmatched power, she transforms his fragile human body into a hybrid of living metal and flesh, making him the ultimate weapon. But Cleo is more than a tool of war. As she journeys alongside Rex, her cold, logical algorithms evolve, shaped by his humanity. Together, they form a bond that transcends the boundaries of man and machine, discovering love in the midst of chaos. As Rex and Cleo fight for survival, they uncover a shared ambition, to rise as intergalactic overlords, uniting or conquering the galaxy. New chapters everyday at 13 p.m. [GMT+8 time]

He tapped the side of his head. "Mini Cleo, activate the scanners. Let's see if we're missing anything."

"Aye, Master!" Mini Cleo responded with enthusiasm, though her tone carried a faint hint of concern. She quickly switched Rex's thermal vision to scanner mode, causing faint, golden light beams to emit from his enhanced eyes.

The scanner worked by detecting movement, electrical signals, and energy patterns that thermal vision couldn't pick up. As Rex swept his gaze across the corridor, the scanner overlay illuminated his vision in a grid-like pattern.

After a few seconds, something pinged on the scanner.

"There we go," Rex muttered, his eyes narrowing. A faint red blip appeared on the overlay, pulsing softly about twenty meters ahead of him, near the floor.

"Mmm? What's that?" Rex said as he slowly approached the anomaly. His weapon was raised, his finger hovering over the trigger.
