When a Reader Ascends

When a Reader Ascends

Magnus lives a relatively normal life, or at least it looks like he does. He has average grades, a handful of friends, moderate wealth, and a distant family. But behind that façade is apathy. Apathy towards his friends, his family, the entire world. Or, almost the entire world. The one thing that Magnus cares about, is books. No matter what kind, Magnus would descend upon it like a swarm of locusts. From picture books to grand epics, text books to treatises, no book could escape his grasp. He is content with this life, but something would always nag at the back of his mind, the want for something more. When Magnus is walking through the forest near his house to find a nice spot to read his latest book, he stumbles upon what looks to be an ancient shrine. Taking it as a nice spot he walks inside, only to hear a disembodied voice. “Welcome child, as you have stumbled upon my place of rest and awakened me from my slumber, I shall bestow upon you a gift. What is it you desire? Power?” “No” “Wealth?” “No” “Pleasure?” “No” “Well what do you want then?” “...To read.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Slightly more spoilery but not really description below - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Magnus, a teen with interest in nothing but books(to a ridiculous degree), finds himself in another world with a system that lets him claim power from the books he reads

I Open a Restaurant in the Demon World

I Open a Restaurant in the Demon World

Introduction: Lu Chi is 188 tall, with broad shoulders, thin waist, and eight pack abs. He has never been inferior to his height and figure. Lu Chi was silent until he entered the demon world and faced the demons with an average height of 2  meters. All the demons looked at Lu Chi lovingly with love and care "dwarf" eyes: Look at the hungry children, they are all malnourished, hurry up and eat more! Lu Chi accepted the dark food without changing his face, and scoffed at the unsavory warning of the little Chef System: He, Lu Chi, a man standing at the top of the food chain, a man who can eat raw meat without changing his face. Man, is there any unsavory food that can make him a picky eater? Then Lu Chi smiled and took a bite, and then Lu Chi's face collapsed: TMD really exists~ No, although he has entered the demon world, he can't starve himself to death, so Lu Chi decided to roll up his sleeves and learn to cook to support himself. Later - Invading Locusts: We have hundreds of millions of members! Lu Chi: Deep fry it and sprinkle some cumin. Invading Crayfish: We're super fertile! Lu Chi: Mashed garlic is spicy and thirteen spices. Invading Mantis Shrimp: We are a species that can hit hundreds of times its own body weight with one punch! Lu Chi: Serve with salt and pepper. Other invasive species: We… Lu Chi: The ingredients are getting richer. Invasive Species: Shivering… Lu Chi: Not only do I rely on my cooking skills to support myself, I work hard to make a career, but I also attract a greedy daughter-in-law? It's not bad!

Locust science fiction is a sub - genre that likely involves science - fictional elements related to locusts. It could be about locust - like creatures in a futuristic or alien setting, or perhaps the use of locust - inspired technology. For example, stories might feature giant locusts created by genetic engineering in a post - apocalyptic world where they are used as weapons or are a result of some scientific experiment gone wrong.

Honestly, it's a bit hard to come up with a long list of locust science - fiction works. However, if you look at broader science - fiction concepts like bio - engineered threats or swarming behaviors in nature, you can find related works. Some cyberpunk stories might also have elements that could be related if you think of locusts as a kind of uncontrolled, swarming entity that can disrupt the order of a high - tech society. But for pure 'locust science fiction', you may need to do some more in - depth research in the niche areas of science - fiction literature.
