| Synopsis
| - The radiation from atomic bomb tests mutates a common ant, increasing his size and strength a thousand fold, and grants him human-level intellect. Calling himself Grottu, he declares himself King of all insects, and sets about on a plan to conquer the world. His efforts are foiled by an adventurer, who succeeds in turning Grotto's ant followers against him, leaving him for dead.
- A scientist builds a time machine and discovers that time is a loop with all events repeating themselves endlessly for eternity.
