First Line of Defense
C52/100Web serial by BenjaminKerei
Earth was invaded, conquered, and humanity was subjugated — 400,000,000 people culled in a second, without any chance to fight back. The Peacekeepers claim to be benevolent: they don't want to rule Earth, they just want humanity to stop playing around with AI and genetics. Willing or unwilling, Morgan and the rest of humanity are now members of the Collective. And like every species in the Collective, they have to learn to play the Game. When an AI offers you the opportunity to play the greatest tower-defense game the universe has ever created, you accept — and figure out the rules for survival later. Morgan certainly thinks so. But when aliens are attacking your station and giant six-eyed rats are eating your robotic face, doubts start to creep in.
