Ember and Ivy noticed the serious look on Akun’s face. "Are you alright, boss?" Ivy asked, concerned.

Akun smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just a lot to take in, that’s all. But don’t worry, I’ll figure it out."

Ember and Ivy exchanged a supportive glance. "We’re here for you, boss. Whatever you need," Ember said with a reassuring smile.

Akun appreciated their understanding. "Thanks, guys. Let’s get back to the anthill and see how everyone is doing." With that, they continued their journey back, eager to see how their ant friends were faring.

As they neared the anthill, Akun, Ember, and Ivy were startled when a tall brown skin woman with dark blue hair and yellow eyes suddenly appeared before them. She had a commanding presence, and she held a long silver spear pointed directly at Ember and Ivy.

"Who are you? And why are you here?" the woman demanded, her voice strong and assertive.

Ember and Ivy, not ones to back down, stood their ground and replied, "Actually, we should be asking you those questions! Who are you, and why did you jump down from the trees like that?"

As the woman approached with her spear pointed at Ember and Ivy, the two of them were on high alert. But then, to their surprise, she called out to Akun, recognizing him.

"Boss? Is that really you?" Leona asked, her tone filled with both disbelief and excitement.

"Dragon Eyes is really something," Akun thought to himself. "I don’t even need to consciously call upon it. If I’m curious about something, it activates on its own, showing me all the information I need to know about the target within my sight."

"With this skill, I can instantly identity and understand creatures I encounter. It’s like having a vast library of knowledge at my disposal."

"Yes, I remember her," Akun said. "She’s one of the ants I left in the forest to grind and gain experience."

The woman lowered her spear, a smile forming on her face. "It’s me, Leona. I can’t believe I finally found you again, Boss!"

Ember and Ivy turned to Akun, confused. "Do you know her?" Ember asked.

"Oh, it’s because you guys haven’t seen her after you gained your human bodies," Akun explained to Ember and Ivy. "When you guys evolved and got these cool human forms, I didn’t get a chance to introduce you to our new friends."

Curiosity piqued, Ember and Ivy listened closely as Akun continued, "You see, after you guys where getting used to your human bodies, I brought a group of 100 ants up to the surface. I named each one of them and even gave them the ’Synergic Effect’ skill to help them out. Then I provided them with some clothes so that after they evolved, they would have something to wear too."

Ember and Ivy nodded, starting to understand the situation better. "So that’s why we haven’t seen her before. She’s one of the ants you brought up to the surface," Ivy said.

"Exactly!" Akun grinned. "Now, she’s one of us, and we’re a team."

Ember and Ivy smiled, feeling relieved and welcoming towards their new companion. "Of course! The more, the merrier!" Ember said with enthusiasm.

As they approached the anthill, Leona took the lead with a confident smile, and Akun, Ember, and Ivy followed closely behind. But as they finally arrived at the anthill, Akun’s eyes widened in astonishment, and his jaw dropped in sheer surprise.

"Damm I’m literally speechless."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
