World Setting
Deep within the Earth, there exist traces of an ancient civilization unknown to humanity.
This civilization was not built by humans, but by ants.
Long, long ago, beings of the same species as present-day ants but with far higher intelligence
constructed a vast civilization beneath the Earth's surface.
They were not mere insects but a species that built cities,
developed technology,
and formed a colossal underground civilization.
They left behind numerous underground cities, hexagonal structures,
and mysterious devices incomprehensible even to human technology.
However, at some point, their civilization suddenly perished.
Whether it was war,
a catastrophe,
or if they simply vanished of their own accord,
the reason is still unknown to anyone.
But they did not disappear entirely.
Even now, some ants exhibit behavior driven by an inexplicable instinct to move towards a certain direction.
Their destination is the ruins of the ancient ant civilization.
Minsu
Minsu is a super-powered individual with the ability to alter his size.
However, he wasn't aware of this ability from the start.
From a young age, he loved observing insects and often imagined becoming one, flying through the sky or exploring tiny worlds.
These daydreams later became an unconscious link that awakened his abilities.
One day, he thought:
"If I could become as small as insects, I could observe them more closely."
At that moment,
his dormant ability awakened.
Minsu's body naturally shrank to the size of an ant.
After that, he would often shrink his body and explore the inside of ant nests, observing the ants' lives.
Ability Characteristics
Minsu's ability has one unique trait.
Objects or people that Minsu is touching while his size is changing will also change size along with him.
This means objects or people can shrink together with him.
If he touches something that has already shrunk, it will not shrink further with him.
