BIO:
Soldier, a working ant from an underground colony, develops human consciousness after being infected by a virus – created by humans as an experiment.
Obsessed with his newfound hunger for fame, and realizing that this new mental state had left him unable to keep living in the ants’ net of underground tunnels, he manages to escape, arriving at an icy cave at the verge of the upper world, where he is finds himself in the presence of a bizarre totem that resembles his features.
Sensing a dark omen, and after pondering whether he should truly leave the underground, Soldier finally reaches the surface, only to come tumbling back down, due to the unexpected weight of the world’s scale.
Crashing back to the cave, he is left frozen, taking the place of the previous totem – the corpse of an ant that had previously tried the same as him -, and which had since sunk into the ground, leaving the inglorious place free for its new occupant.
