I Woke Up Trapped Inside A Rotting Emperor. The Throne Is A Machine Of Nightmares | Sci-Fi Story

from Galactic Horrors

📖 Written by Galactic HorrorsA common citizen from the outer empire wakes in the Emperor’s throne-body during a public audience, staring through jeweled optics at kneeling courtiers while his new hands lie heavy on the armrests: decayed, imperial, and threaded with cybernetics. The body is not merely a symbol of rule but the empire’s central control apparatus, a rotting sovereign corpse fused to a throne that can inhabit cloned Proxies across conquered space. The true Emperor has died without an heir, but the automated system refuses to recognize an empty throne, so it begins snatching random minds from the population and forcing them into the imperial remains.The protagonist’s first attempts to understand his condition reveal the machinery beneath the divinity. A maintenance mirror shows him the swollen corpse he now occupies, chrome organs pulsing inside wet flesh, ceremonial armor bolted directly into failing tissue. In the medical bay, discarded Proxy bodies are stacked like broken uniforms, some still twitching with citizens who were previously trapped inside them. Beyond that lies the Proxy vault: thousands of cloned imperial bodies suspended in nutrient columns, each identical face marked by different stages of rot, surgery, and failed habitation. Among them, the protagonist finds his own original body alive but emptied, already being prepared as a fresh imperial vessel for whichever stolen consciousness the system selects next.⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.
