Chapter 6: Evolution | Demon Ants
Yawn...I slept well. Almost too much, enough to make me sluggish. Since yesterday we ate a lot of scorpions, my sister and I are not hungry yet.
When I wake up my mind goes blank, I feel a strange feeling, my head is dizzy, my vision starts to blur, in the end I fell unconscious, before my loss faded completely I saw the two ants, no. My sisters are running to me, until finally it went dark.
「 Starting Klein Individual Evolution 」
「 Klein's individual will be in an unconscious state during evolution 」
It's dark... I can't see any light.... a little boy, I saw a little boy by the river, it's a girl. The child is playing with the ants, he gave sugar to them, what a good human child.
Not long after, another girl came to her, she took the sugar from the girl who was feeding the ants, the girl asked for her sugar back, but the child who took the sugar did not give it, instead she trampled on the innocent ants.
A goo girl tries to stop a girl who steps on an ant, but that girl continues to step on it no matter how many times it is stopped, in the end the good girl tried to stop her from close, but the gurk instead pushed the good girl, so the good girl fell into the rushing river, and was washed away.
....
Why am I seeing this? I feel familiar with the child's face, the child who fell into the river has a beautiful appearance, long hair and beautiful pink eyes, the girl was wearing a pink dress, matching the color of her eyes, while hiser hair was red, but now she was dead, washed away by the river.
I heard a voice in "Brother, wake up brother!". What is it? Are we under attack... wait, I don't even know whose voice it is, I slowly opened my eyes and saw 2 ants in front of me.
"Why are you guys so noisy-"
Hah? Did I just speak?
"Aaaaaaaa iiiiiiiii uuuuuuuu"
I made a sound?! How could it be? We ants communicate via antennas, but I just made a sound, no way, this must be a dream.
"Hit me"
"Okay"
"Guhh!
A blow flew up, it felt so real, this wasn't a dream, and other strange things, the 2 in front of me did the same, they understood what I was saying, and can make sound too.
"How can you guys talk?"
The two of them looked at each other.
"Umm, we don't know, we just saw big brother fainting and suddenly emitting light, after that, suddenly we can talk like this"
Hah?? Does that make sense? Of course...there's someone named System here, so no need to be surprised, can you explain to me, why we can make sounds out of our mouths?
「 Answer. That's because you have evolved into a Demon Ant, it will trigger changes in body structure one of which is the vocal cords that allow you to speak 」
Evolution? What is evolution?
Evolution is a process of individual change in the form of increasing physical and non-physical abilities. 」
Is that only Riot ants can do? Then the current me, wouldn't I be able to kill humans…but for what? Feud? Forget it, can I still evolve by the way?
「 Riot Ant has multiple stages of Evolution.
Void Ant - Perfect Humanoid Form
Yodh Ant - Humanoid Form
Nemesis Ant - Power up
Demon Ant - Body development (Current)
Riot Ant - The Beginning 」
Another blow came at me again, again, again.
"ENOUGH!!"
"Okay..."
"But we think you're dead because you've been silent all this time"
"I'm not dead, I'm talking to the System"
"Systems"?
"What is system? emergencies food?"
"...Forget it, let's continue our journey"
"Come on!"
"So System is not food huh"
Wait a minute, I think I want to do something. As I walk I want to check my status, I hope I can increase my strength with the 'Point skill' that I have.

*Bruak
I hit something, something big, it's hairy, the thing I hit has fur and that sharp thing... claws? Hmm, I tried to look up, on reflex I backed away, but these two stupid ants just stood there looking at me.
When I looked up, I saw a cat…no, it was the Lion King of the jungle, how could he be in a place like this? Hey! Come back to your throne! Luckily he didn't notice me because I was small.
"Are you all right brother?"
"Why is your face pale?"
"Nothing, [Appraisal]"
A screen appeared in front of me.
「 Name : Scar

Description: Unable to take the throne, the lion fell into darkness and harbored anger
What? That strong? This is what I've always hated, bigger creatures always have greater power than small creatures like me, it's not fair.

Cursed you System!!!
