This pathetic ant, wants to overturn the heavens

Am i stupid?...

Somewhere on a lonely ant-hill, approximately 5 Meters in height,

An ant in a big group of worker-ants, suddenly stopped in its tracks and looked around confusedly.

„What the- where am I? What happend? I was on my way to collect some materials for my master, Bruce...Why are here so many giant ants? Are we getting raided by a monster nest, again?"

Why again? You the viewer May not know, but the Mountain, which was inhabited by Bruce and his pupil, is actually a Monster-den, a place with the largest population, of beast and demons alike.

The lone ant ran around haphazardly and feared the sudden attack of all the other worker-ants, but what happened was surprising for the little Ryo-ant," Nothing is happening? Why am I not being attacked here? Am I already dead?"

Then suddenly a ear-penetrating sound, rang, in Ryo's head, "Answering host's question, you are alive, again"

„..., WHO are you? And what do you mean alive, again??"

The voice rang out again, "Answering the Host's question, I am the Blacksmithing System, created by your master Bruce, to assist and guide you, on your path towards becoming the strongest, and best Blacksmith in existence. Also you have been reborn into the body of a worker ant, after being smited down into ashes, by your ma-"

The system abruptly stopped its explanation, as if it had nearly spoken, about something sensitive, that has been programmed into it, not to talk about.

"Who smited me down, and why, dear sir System could you please explain?", Ryo asked, while knowing the answer, deep in his heart.

Ryo thought, not knowing whether to be happy or to feel sad, about being reborn as an ant," It was probably my master, he even talked about me gaining something, that will help me on my path, but why... why an ant, why not a tiger, or something like that?"

„...," after reformulating its words a bit, the System spoke again,„Anyways, you died and have been reborn into a being, with S-grade talent in Blacksmithing"

„Oh, but why an ant, if may ask, powerful sir System."

The System said, as if it wouldn't affect the well being of the host," Host, your soul was so weak, that even after being strengthend by Master Bru- a certain someone, that your soul still, couldn't fully wipe the consciousness of a being, stronger than an ant."

Ryo, tried pulling his hair, as a way to minder his frustration, towards himself being so weak, that his soul, even after being strengthened, by his master, was only stronger than an ant."
Sadly, Ryo, didn't have any hair to pull out, as an worker ant.

Suddenly, a 3 times larger ant, walked onto Ryo, and bellowed," Lowly Worker ant, go back to work, or do you not want to be part, of your queens family?"

Ryo, still talking with the System, didn't hear, the bigger ants bellow.

The bigger ant, noticing that Ryo, was ignoring it, fumed and got into a combat stance, it bellowed again,"Worker ant, continue your work, or be forced into trial!"

Ryo only now heard the bigger ant," Oh what's this... a fellow worker ant? No, it's many times bigger than the other ants, this should be one of the queens combat ants, what does it want from me?"

Seeing Ryo's continued defiance, the Combat ant jumped Ryo and 4 of its Steel-wire-like arms constricted Ryo, with a head lock," Continue defying Orders and the Jury will be brought into action"

Ryo wanted to speak, but the headlock stopped him, even walking was impossible, only slightly wiggling, was all Ryo could.

For some reason, the combat ant, took Ryo's helpless wiggling, as Ryo trying to fight it.
