Evolution begins with an ant colony

With a surge of urgency, Akun tapped into his aspect power. He felt a rush of energy coursing through him as he summoned his strength and propelled himself with incredible speed toward the anthill. The treetops and forest below became a blur as he raced through the air.

Tatilia's words echoed in his mind, her voice still trembling with the gravity of her message. "Master," she had said, her tone hushed and filled with despair, "the anthill was attacked and destroyed. The ants are all in very bad shape."

As he flew over the godforsaken forest, Akun's thoughts raced alongside him. Why? Why is this happening? The question echoed in his mind like a haunting refrain, his heart heavy with concern for the anthill and its inhabitants. Fear and determination burned in his eyes as he closed in on the anthill, ready to face whatever devastating truth awaited him

Finally, Akun arrived at the scene of the destroyed anthill, his heart pounding with a mix of dread and disbelief. He stopped momentarily in the air, hovering above the ruins of what was once his home.

His jaw dropped, and his expression morphed into one of shock and confusion, as if he couldn't quite fathom what lay before his eyes. It was a sight he didn't want to believe, but there it was, stark and undeniable.

Slowly, as if approaching a nightmare made real, he began his descent. His eyes scanned the devastation, taking in the broken wall and the crumbling buildings that once bustled with life. But it was the sight of the guardians that struck him hardest. They lay scattered and gravely wounded, their forms battered and broken.

Akun's heart ached as he descended further, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and determination. Whatever had happened here, whoever had perpetrated this terrible act, he knew he needed to find answers, more importantly, a way to help the guardians and the anthill recover from this devastating blow.

Rushing over to the first guardian he could see, which happened to be Gedion, Akun wasted no time. He immediately began channeling his healing power, his hands glowing with a gentle, soothing light as he knelt beside Gedion.

"Gedion! Gedion! Wake up!" Akun called out desperately, his voice filled with concern and urgency as he worked on healing the wounded guardian.

"B...boss, is that you?" Gedion's voice was weak, his consciousness slowly returning as he struggled to speak.

Akun's tears started to stream down his cheeks, a mixture of relief and emotion washing over him. He smiled warmly at Gedion, saying, "You're okay now, Gedion. You're all healed."

But there was no time for celebration. Akun knew there were others who needed his help. "I have to go heal the others," he said, his determination unwavering as he prepared to dart off to the next injured guardian.

Gedion, however, was not about to be left behind. Despite his earlier injuries, he managed to stand and called out to Akun, "Wait up, boss." There was a newfound strength in his voice as he followed behind Akun, ready to assist in any way he could.

With a heavy heart, Akun gazed upon the other guardians, his face mirroring the weight of the situation. He couldn't simply heal them one by one; their injuries were too severe, and time was of the essence. An idea sparked within him, he thought to himself, "I can't afford to waste any time. I have to heal them all simultaneously."

Drawing upon his Aspect power, Akun summoned the strength needed to execute his plan. With a determined resolve, he lifted himself from the ground, ascending into the sky.

Gedion, who had been following Akun closely, stopped in his tracks as he witnessed this incredible feat. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he muttered softly to himself, "That's our boss for you." It was a moment of admiration for Akun's leadership and unwavering dedication, even in the face of such dire circumstances.

In the darkened night sky above the shattered anthill, Akun took a deep breath, his heart filled with determination and hope. "Here goes nothing," he thought to himself, his mind racing with the urgency of the situation. "This has to work. It must work."

With that unwavering resolve, Akun's entire body began to emit a radiant, otherworldly brilliance. In the midst of the night, it was as if a fragment of dawn had descended upon the anthill. The soft, gentle light washed over the wounded and battered evolved ants.

Slowly, one by one, the ant guardians began to stir. Their injuries seemed to fade as the healing light touched them. The fractured limbs mended, deep wounds closed, and their strength gradually returned. It was a miraculous sight as they blinked awake, looking around in awe and gratitude.

Meanwhile, outside the anthill's ruins, Nadalin, the queen of the ants, stood with tears in her eyes. Her gaze was fixed on the incredible display of power in the night sky. She couldn't help but smile through her tears, her heart overflowing with relief and joy.

"He's back," she whispered to herself, her voice filled with emotion.

As the healing light from Akun's body gradually subsided, he descended from the night sky, his body radiating with exhaustion. Gasping for breath, he touched down just outside the shattered remnants of the anthill's walls. It had been an immense effort, and the toll on his body was evident.

"Boss!" The ant guardians exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with a complex mix of emotions. They rushed towards Akun, their hearts heavy with a sense of both relief and guilt. Gedion, Luna, Finn, Mara, Zara, and all the others approached him, their faces reflecting a myriad of feelings.

"You did it, boss," Gedion said, his voice tinged with admiration and a hint of sadness as he clapped Akun on the shoulder.

Luna, her eyes shimmering with tears of relief, added, "You saved us, boss. I thought... I thought I was going to die."

Finn burst into tears as he said. "We're sorry, boss. We're really sorry for letting you down."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mara and Zara chimed in, their voices trembling with regret. "We're so sorry, boss. We should have been stronger."

Some of the ant guardians couldn't hold back their tears, their emotions a complex mix of gratitude and self-reproach.

Akun's heart swelled with a mixture of relief and sorrow as he beheld the healing he had brought to his guardians. Their words of gratitude still echoed in his ears, warming his soul. But amid this fragile joy, his gaze was inexorably drawn to the heart-wrenching devastation that surrounded them—the shattered remnants of the anthill and the still forms of the evolved ants who had not risen.

In silent contemplation, Akun ventured through the breach in the anthill's walls, each step heavier than the last.

The ant guardians, sensing his somber focus, trailed behind him, their eyes filled with trepidation. The once-vibrant and bustling hub of their existence now lay in ruins, a stark testament to the mercilessness of the battle they had fought.

The devastation was all-encompassing. Crumbling chambers, fractured tunnels, and fallen structures painted a harrowing picture of destruction.

Akun's heart was gripped by an unrelenting storm of emotions. The scene before him filled him with a searing rage that threatened to consume him from within.

"I should have been here. I should have protected them." His thoughts were laced with raw regret, every word heavy with self-recrimination.

"These ants, they followed me, believed in me, and I... I let them die."

The weight of responsibility bore down on him, a crushing burden that threatened to break his spirit. Each fallen comrade he passed was a stark reminder of the price they had paid, the price for his absence when they needed him most.

"The people who did this... I will make them pay." Akun said to himself, his raw emotions surging to the surface.

"System, were you here when these ants died, helplessly?" Akun's inner voice trembled with a mixture of sorrow and fury.

[The system dose not understand the player's question.]

"You ask me to calm down, you don't want me to rage. What is so wrong in making the people that did this pay?"

Akun's voice quivered as he tried to convey the depth of his anguish. "That is the least of my problems right now," he whispered, tears streaming down his cheeks. The magnitude of the devastation weighed heavily on him.

In the midst of the somber scene, as Akun gazed upon the ruins of the anthill, a familiar figure came rushing toward him. It was Nadalin, the ant queen, her expression wrought with distress and urgency.

"Akun," she cried out, her voice filled with desperation, "they took Leona."

Akun's heart seemed to skip a beat as his eyes widened in shock. "Wha... what?" He stammered, his voice trembling with disbelief. His frantic gaze darted around the devastation, searching for any sign of Leona, but she was nowhere to be seen among the ant guardians who had gathered.

As if in a waking nightmare, Akun's vision blurred momentarily, and then he was granted a hauntingly vivid recollection of the harrowing events that had transpired. He saw, through his own eyes, the arrival of Argon, Keleora, and their sinister team at the once-thriving anthill.

Every detail unfolded before his eyes, etching itself into his memory. He witnessed the relentless battle that had unfolded, the guardians fighting valiantly but ultimately succumbing to the overwhelming force of their adversaries.

The most painful image was of Leona, gravely wounded and bleeding profusely, yet displaying unwavering determination. Akun's breath caught as he saw Argon's cruel act, thrusting his hand through Leona's abdomen, causing her unimaginable pain, and then heartbreakingly dragging her away.

The memories were seared into Akun's mind, leaving him with a profound sense of anguish and fury.

Akun's eyes burned with steeled resolve as he said to himself. "Since I came to this world, I have lived my new life as a true fool, far too naive, but no more. From now on, my enemies are either killed... or enslaved."
