The day arrives… and the world awakens. The sunlight strikes the sandy house with a strong glow.

  Laien slowly opens her ant eyes, looks around… and sees her tiny sword beside the bed. A soft smile appears as she remembers the previous battle.

  — I’m stronger now…

  With determination, Laien gets up, grabs her tiny sword, and steps out of her sandy little house. The world is quiet, a gentle breeze blowing and the warmth of the sun on her back.

  As she walks along the sandy trails, Laien suddenly stops with a worried expression.

  — I need… food…

  Laien stares at the panel, gripping her sword tighter.

  — Food? I… really needed that…

  A loud rumble echoes from the sky. The Insect Boss appears: a massive creature with long wings and glowing eyes. Its buzzing is menacing. Laien sighs.

  — That’s the boss…? Ah… my little ant heart...

  The boss flies at her with incredible speed. Laien dodges, leaping nimbly with her ant agility, as the familiar purple aura begins to glow around her sword.

  The boss attacks mercilessly, but Laien spins in the air, determined… until her stomach growls loudly.

  — I’m… so hungry…

  — FOR THE FOOD!!

  Laien charges with full strength. The purple aura swirls around her tiny sword like a storm of energy. With a single, precise slash…

  The Insect Boss falls.

  Laien then waddles to her sandy bed, lies down, sighs in satisfaction and…

  closes her eyes, gently falling asleep.
