Laien and the Ant System
In an ordinary world, there lived a tiny ant named Laien. She was small… weak… The weakest of them all. But everything changed one day.
Laien was walking through a quiet field when, suddenly, a huge insect appeared. It moved forward, threatening… ready to crush her.
Terrified, Laien started running as fast as she could. But it was no use… The insect struck her. Staggering, Laien looked at herself and, with teary eyes, whispered:
— N-no… please… I don't want to die…
At that moment, a glowing panel appeared in front of her:
> [Ant System]
Activate? (Yes/No)
With trembling antennae and a racing heart, Laien nodded:
— Yes!
> [Ant System Activated]
Do you wish to receive the Ant Sword? (Rank L)
Laien took a deep breath, still scared, but replied more firmly:
— Yes!
From the sky, a tiny sword appeared… and landed right next to her.
— It almost landed on me…
Laien grabbed the sword with her tiny legs and held it tightly. The insect charged violently, and even though she was trembling, she raised her weapon and defended herself.
— P-please… help me… — she whispered to the sword.

Laien was confused, but something inside her awakened. A purple aura enveloped her tiny body. The insect felt it… and hesitated. It tried to flee.
But it was too late.
With incredible speed, Laien stabbed the sword into the insect's body. Victory!
— I… will never lose again!
She dropped the sword, panting.
