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.
A strong grip, held Ryo's head, then he was thrown into the air, with great precision straight into a cell," Criminal Worker ant, you will be sentenced, by the Jury in a few minutes, be glad that I didn't rip you to shreds, after seeing you trying to overturn me!"
Ryo, now in his cell, is still shocked about, what just went down," System, was I somewhere in the wrong there? Why am I in this cell, right now?"
The system said in a, to Ryo, mocking Voice," Yes, Host you were definitely in the wrong, you defied your Boss, and ignored its warning twice, as it said, you should be glad that it didn't kill you."
Ryo,"...", at least try to give make this somewhat bearable for me, your host.
I needed some words of confirmation, that I did nothing wrong, but what did that System do, he kicked me while I am down, and then even spat at this poor beggar.
Ryo sighed,"Nevermind then, why is my sentencing so early? Shouldn't they give me a few days, to process and repent?"
The system said, as if asking whether Ryo is fine in the head, "If they would be giving you a few days, they would already be 70 years old, in ant years."
System then, for the first time ever, asked Ryo a question, "Host, don't you want to know your condition, I mean you are an ant, where is your confusion?"
Ryo then laughed and said, "What condition could I have, I am a fucking ant!! But since this is the first question, I have heard from you, I shall answer with a yes. What is my condition System, also you seem to be getting more talkative, is your Ai upgrading itself?"
Some of you might wanna know why Ryo, even knows what an Ai is, for which the stupid Author, has an even more stupid explanation, which would be-
Who are you calling stupid? I am your fucking boss, at least treat me with some respect, would you? Also my explanation is pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Scooch over a bit, you useless narator.
The author speaking here, you can call me FalsifiedGod btw..
So the situation as follows is, Bruce, the grandmaster Blacksmith, was able to create weapons, with their own spirits, and independent thinking, as he was the first one to create such souls, I as "god" needed to visit him, to tell him no don't create souls blah blah blah, you get the gist.
Bruce asked me why, he should stop creating such souls, to which I just shrugged my shoulders, I mean honestly I couldn't care less about this, I was forced to come here by my mother, who is the TrueGod, she is also the reason my name is, FalsifiedGod.
Bruce, then tried to make me change my opinion, as he saw that I didn't care.
He said that he could work for me, for a bit, and I would let him create, his fake souls, in peace.
I agreed, cuz. less work for me.
Also I explained to him that he didn't create fake souls, they are called artificial souls.
Because of this, Bruce now worked for me, for an indefinite amount of time.
I had some free time, to spend, and I thought why not, let's just see what his pupil is up to, this guy even reincarnated, this is like a dream come true...
Excuse me Stu- Author, you are swaying away from the plot. To make this as concise as possible.
Bruce created Ais and because of Bruce being Ryo's master, he also knows of the existence of Artificial Souls.
Narrator, at least let me have some fun explaining, this is my Novel, for fuckssake.
You know What? Just continue on narrating, I don't care anymore.
To this the happy Narrator said," Finally, seems like the author isn't as stupid, as I thought."
CONTINUE ON NARRATING THE STORY, NOT THIS CONVERSATION!!!
Jeez, that was only a joke, okay, enough tomfoolery for a day, let's go back to Ryo, in his cell.
Author said,"..., this is only a joke to you, I feel like the joke here. Someday, I will need to find a better narrator"
"The narrator ignores the Author and continues his narrating", the narrator says, sarcastically and at the same time, not.

Ryo's face was filled with astonishment," why is an ant, so strong, also why don't I have mana?"
The system responded, even more mockingly, "Why should a normal ant, even have mana?"
"...", Ryo didn't know how to respond to that, he even started to doubt himself and thought, "Am I stupid?..."
