Ep. 2: Kinji Transforms Into an Ant to Unionize the Colony and Confront the Queen

Kinji and Wanibe join a hazardous exploration unit, but Wanibe’s injury forces Kinji to work harder while receiving less pay. With no funds to feed Rim, Kinji faces a crisis when monster ants invade the mine. To survive, he uses a potion to transform himself, an elite warrior, and an equipment manager into ants. Trapped after their boss seals the mine, Kinji discovers he can understand the ants’ language. He organizes a union to demand better treatment from the Ant Queen, who expanded into the mine after Rim stopped eating her workers. When the Queen rejects their demands and chooses to kill the workers, Rim appears, hungry. Kinji feeds her, impressing the Queen with his control over the creature that has plagued her colony. Wanibe returns to work as Kinji reveals his plan to seize the Raiza 'ha Mining Corporation and establish his own Dungeon Black Company with Rim and the Ant Queen’s support.
