Sakuma's eyes did not stop looking at the group in front of him, they were laughing and talking calmly as they walked a few meters in front of him.
He felt a pang in his heart and his eyes began to burn, he felt dejected, he wanted to have friends but he was too shy to even try. That's why when he saw the group in front of him he felt bad.
But he continued walking behind them in the hope that they would soon leave. Before he could continue with his train of thought a light shone on the group and he soon watched as they began to fade away. He opened his eyes in surprise and could only gape. But contrary to his expectations the light shone much brighter and he soon caught Sakuma as well. What he didn't expect was that the light started to burn him and soon he felt like he was being burned alive.
"Ayu-"
His cries for help were drowned out as his vocal cords began to burn. Soon his body turned into ashes and his last thoughts were of pure pain. That day Sakuma died and something new was born.
[Location unknown]
-crack-
-crack-
"What is this?"
Sakuma's eyes could only see black with small white dots. He felt his limbs a little strange but since his mind was numb he didn't give it any importance and he continued breaking whatever was holding his body back.
-crack-
-crack-
"Almost...."
With one last effort Sakuma freed himself from his prison and soon a light illuminated. When his eyes cleared he saw brown.
"Wait.... That's dirt?"
A look of resolve entered Sakuma's eyes as he realized that he was in a cave.
"Wow"
His eyes scanned the place. A huge cave with different paths, although the paths were very strange since there were paths on the ceiling. "Strange..."
Before he could continue inspecting the place, a sharp sound filled his hearing.
-Bizz-
-Bizz-
When Sakuma turned towards the source of the sound his eyes widened in surprise at the sight. There were thousands of giant-sized eggs, but what surprised him the most was the huge thing that was next to the eggs. A giant ant of dark grayish color, a pain in the head came to Sakuma and he was soon stunned by the ant. A feeling of wanting to serve her filled his mind and before he knew it he was already walking towards one of the paths in search of food, food?
"What the hell"
Sakuma stopped in his tracks and soon looked at his surroundings again, more specifically at himself. What he could see was that he was on all fours, his body color was black, antennae were seen above his head through the corner of his eye.
"What the-"
A sound of footsteps muffled the sound of Sakuma's words and soon he saw how thousands of ants were coming from the tunnel where he was, no, they were coming from all the tunnels.
Sakuma's eyes widened in surprise and before he could react he was already being dragged into the cave, again.
"Aahh"
Sakuma freed himself as best he could and watched as all the ants that arrived began to drop food near the largest ant. A feeling of emptiness settled in our protagonist's chest as he realized what this entailed.
"I died?"
No no, this can't be true, right? But then this is a dream? Yes yes, that must be it, I can't die yet, if that is it. Sakuma started to become delirious and then he heard a small sound in his mind.
-clinck-
[Warning, intruders have entered inside the ant queen's dungeon]
[Mission: eliminate intruders]
[Reward: evolution]
"What the hell-"
-boom-
Before he could complete his sentence the ground shook and he soon saw the source of the problem. All the ants started to go through a single tunnel, but some stayed next to the queen ant. 'what I do?'
It's not like she can fight, but what does he mean by this being a dungeon. Maybe I'll be reincarnated in some kind of game or something. His eyes darted toward the tunnel. "There's only one way to find out"
-tap-
-tap-
Upon reaching the beginning of the tunnel she gave a soft sigh and entered the dark tunnel. "I hope I don't regret it."
***
"Wow, I didn't think there was a dungeon in this place or did you already know?"
The man who spoke had a bald head and a muscular body. He placed his ax on his shoulder and looked at the smaller man. His companion was thinner and had a sword on his hip.
"Negative"
"So... Maybe they haven't investigated it, hahaha"
He raised the ax proudly and looked at the path before him. He couldn't help but think of the rewards the dungeon in front of him would have.
"Hmmp, remember that I'm still here too"
The girl in her group pouted angrily looking at the two of them.
"We should not trust ourselves, remember that it is still a dungeon, it is dangerous"
The thin boy spoke and tightened his grip on his sword. He was right, they don't have to trust themselves and let greed make them irrational.
"You're right"
The two nodded and looked at the cave entrance more cautiously.
"Well, if you both understand it then prepare yourselves, Rin, please give us a resistance buff, I sense a presence up ahead."
"Understood"
The girl nodded and soon raised her wand towards the two and began speaking in a strange language. Small particles began to come out of the two men and soon a golden colored energy illuminated them. The light went out little by little and only small particles remained covering the two men.
"Ready"
The girl gave them a wink and they soon set off. The ax man was in front while the sword man was behind covering the rear. On the other hand, the girl named Rin was in the middle while she looked from one to the other cautiously.
"What's that?"
The ax man stopped, making the other two follow his example and soon they looked ahead and saw how different paths opened before them, even up.
"It's strange, it won't be...."
The man with the sword began to think and after a few seconds he opened his eyes in surprise but before he could warn his companions of the threat. He was met with a horrible sight, thousands of dark colored ants heading towards them.
***
"Hmm."
He had been walking for a few seconds along the same path and saw how the ants on one side of him moved to different paths.
"Are they dividing?"
Strange. It doesn't matter, from what he said the message seems there are intruders and these ants want to get rid of them. Maybe there is something to figure out how I got into this situation.
"Hmm?"
The bridge suddenly lit up and he saw a flash of fire heading towards the group of ants.
"What the-"
Before she could scream, the road exploded and he was sent flying to the side. He felt dizzy and his head was spinning like crazy. "Shit, curse my damn luck, what happened?"
He looked around him and his gaze gradually became clearer, soon he found himself looking at a group killing the ants below him.
***
"Rin prepare a spell to kill these trashes!"
The ax man screamed as his ax penetrated deeply into the body of an ant. Rin nodded quickly and began to perform the spell with his wand, small particles covered in front of her and a large flame soon formed. He looked towards one of the paths where ants were coming out and quickly shouted.
"Below!"
At the warning from his partner, the two men quickly crouched down and soon saw how a large flame hit the path where more ants came out.
-boom-
The large flame hit the road and soon small carvonized ants fell to the ground.
"Well done, Rin."
The man with the sword cut off the head of an ant that tried to attack his companion, with a small nod, his companion felt grateful.
"Don't flirt yet"
The ax man killed three ants with a single blow of his ax and gave the two of them an annoyed look.
"After this dungeon, I hope you ask him to marry you"
At the man's words, Rin blushed and looked away.
"Troy, don't bother her, you know she's not interested in anything but magic."
The sword man slashed at some ants that were quickly approaching his position. The blood hit his body and soon he was covered in slimy blood.
"ugh"
Rin covered his nose and couldn't hide his disgusted face when he saw his partner.
"At least you could not show them"
He growled and tried to wipe the blood off her face. It was at that moment that Troy burst out laughing as she cut down two more ants.
"Hahaha, now, you look like a slime"
She pointed her finger at him and her laughter became louder.
"I'll call you jinslime"
His laughter intensified and the so-called jin growled as he slashed an ant across the torso.
"Concentrate, these ants seem infinite"
"That makes it more fun, doesn't it?"
Troy lifted the ax from him as he continued killing the ants in front of him with a self-satisfied smile. Little by little the small space was filled with ants.
"Ugh, I'm running out of mana."
Rin spoke with a broken voice as he continued casting fire spells.
"I don't think we can continue, I think it would be better to retreat, Rin, can you cast one last spell so we can escape?"
Jin cut down another ant and looked at his companion with a frown.
"Escape? And the treasures?"
Troy growled in anger as he crushed the skull of another ant.
"We will return later, now that we know they are ants, we will come more prepared"
Jin pointed seriously towards his companion. Troy gritted his teeth but understood his partner's words and nodded in understanding.
"I understand, I'll cover you Rin cast the fact-"
Before Troy could finish his sentence, he saw a dark ant with a red mark in one of his eyes, probably from an explosion of Rin's magic, and he watched as he ripped off his companion's head. of a cut.
Jin and Troy looked at the scene dumbfounded and saw how the ant stood on all fours in front of them.
***
"Humans?"
A trace of excitement flashed through him and he moved forward. A hope shone in his heart, he would want to run to them and ask for help. That they will save him and take him to his parents to comfort him. He moved quickly towards them, but he soon felt something tingling in his head and felt a tinkling sound.
-clinck-
Before he could realize what happened he had already killed the girl in the group. He stood over her body and shuddered at the sight. 'what the fuck did-'
A blow to his ribcage cut off his words. A loud crash was heard throughout the place and soon the earth covered his small body.
"Uhhgghr" hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts. He blood dripped from below and he didn't even want to look down.
A glow appeared in the corner of his eye and he soon saw a sword heading towards his head.
"Shit, I'm going to die? No, I can't, right? It's a dream, this is a dream, yeah..."
The sword stopped inches from his head and not for the reason he expected. He soon saw how an ant had bitten the foot of his attacker.
"Damn ant"
He tried to get out of the ant's grasp but soon something bit his shoulder then his stomach. Many ants began to gather on him and began to bite him alive.
'I am alive?'
Before he could relieve himself he saw how the man swung the sword down and made a cut at the little dying ant, that is, him.
'aahhhh'
A scream came from the ant. The ant shuddered and began to convulse like crazy on the ground. The man with the sword began to kill the ants on his body and looked with hatred at the ant on the ground.
"Jin!"
Troy's scream brought him out of his trance and he turned his gaze towards his partner. He was standing on the last bodies of the ants and had his companion in his arms.
"Are you OK?"
Troy looked at him with concern, more specifically all the bite marks on him.
"S-"
Before Jin responded a claw pierced him in the chest.
'it hurts it hurts it hurts'
His thoughts became confused, he wanted the pain to stop. He had to kill the one who caused him this pain. He watched as one of his paws went through the sword man's body but he didn't care, he just wanted to kill the one who caused him so much pain.
I remove my paw from the man's body and watch him fall to the ground exhausted.
"Nooooo!"
A scream of anger brought him out of his thoughts and he soon turned his gaze to a man who quickly approached with the ax raised from him. Fury surged within the ant and it glared at the man.
'Do you want to make me suffer?'
A red aura covered the ant and with a forward movement it pierced the man's head. The man's body fell to the hard ground covered with hundreds of bodies.

His ears stopped hearing at this point and his small ant body fell onto the corpses of his kind.
'ha, now I think they're my species?'
A bitter laugh rang in his mind and his eyes dimmed. He wanted to rest..
