Zzz... ZZZ... zzz... huh? I'm awake! *Yawn* Is breakfast ready? Wait just a sec... I don't even have a kitchen! Or soone that makes my food! Aww, now I went and made myself depressed...
"Ribbit!" - Frog
And what's Froggy Mc Idiot doing here!? No... all the webs are filled with small fries!
Good thing I installed those webs, or I've would have been small-fry-food. Note to self, get a better base when evolving next ti,
*Grrrrr...*
Oops, Was that my stomach? So embarrassing... oh wait.
"! RIBBIT-RIBI-RIBI-RIBBIT!!" - Frogs
"SQUEAAAAK!!" - Rats
Oh, shut it! Chomping ti!
---
*Burp* 'Scuse . But man, I was hungry. Three rats and two frogs had trapped themselves, but now they're only bones.
While eating, I had a look at my current body.
A jet-black spider. That's the best way to describe . Still, my back's smaller than what you could expect from a spider, and I have a neck for so reason, and only two, ruby-colored eyes. Am I a spider, or an ant?
No matter which one it is, it's not an explanation for my black hole appetite. Evolution's supposed to only take half of your max stamina and mana reserves at most.
Sothing's off here... the System ssage should tell sothing. The icon in the left corner of my sight's been blinking all the ti I've been eating. A living HUD1... handy.
SYSTEM SSAGE:
Evolution completed.
Due to having reached racial rank F , the amount of Skill Point value has increased to 0.2 Points.
Due to evolution to an Extra Race: additional bonus to stat values acquired.
Through evolution, acquired trait: Arachnid
Through evolution, acquired skills: [Thread Control Lv.1] and [Cutting Thread Lv.1]
Through evolution to an Extra Race, acquired skill: [Silence Lv.1]
Huh? Most of the stuff here's what the Kigal-Note told when I looked up evolution. An increase of Skill Points you get from level-ups, gaining skills of the new race... but all this "Extra Race-bonuses" stuff is unexpected...
Damn [Discern]. It let so of the most crucial information slip! Not that it was too bad, but I need to secure large amounts of food if I wanna evolve into an Extra Race again. Having to beco a food fighter for so extra skills and stats... wait. My stats increased? More than expected, I an.

STR: 47VIT: 33MAG: 45
RES: 56SPD: 69DEX: 74
INT: 120LUC: 150
They seriously increased more than I expected!!
Extra evolutions rocks! I gotta keep on earning those.
DEX and SPD went up by 40-or-so points, while RES and MP got around 30. MAG, HP, and SP all upped their scores by 20, and the rest, aning STR and VIT, got around 10 points.
Maybe not that much for sothing called an "Extra Race" evolution, but hey, it was from a G-rank to an F-rank. I can't expect that much improvent.
Rogue's "100 DEX requirent" is still not achieved yet. I guess I should focus on getting used to this new body first. Luckily, I'm on the weakest floor of the Dungeon. I can farm weaklings easily! Both for EXP, personal experience, and to get that ten stealth kills for the Rogue class!
Kukuku. I'm itching for action.
---
Yeah... the itch isn't getting scratched so much.
Don't take wrong here. I've taken out rats and frogs here and there... but my level hasn't increased even after all these. Also, the monsters make such loud noises, that I can't expect that they count for Rogue's stealth kills either.
My M.O. is to make webs in tunnels and tight spaces, then wait for so prey to get trapped. Kinda standard, but it works. If those pests weren't so noisy, then I wouldn't need to remove the web each ti in case a cobra ca by!
Ah, and my skills are like this now.

The only things I get to train are my string theories. And even they aren't going up even after all this ti! Do I need to use it on stronger guys to get more EXP? Maybe being of a higher rank ans you have to do more to gain levels? Yeah, that must be it. Tsk.
Maybe it's ti to graduate to cobras..., that's a bad idea. The cobras are magic users, aning they could probably tear through my webs with their spells. Even if [Spider Thread] has beco my highest leveled skill.
*Tug* *Tug*
That's the alert thread. I've made several small threads connected to the different webs that lead to my base. This one is...
I forgot to tell you about this, but I've made a base on top of one of the walls of the Dungeon. It's better to call it a small hill though. There's a small cave located there, which I've made into my bedroom. Due to that, I invested in the [Climbing] skill. Should have gotten that one earlier...
As the only creatures that can reach this height on this floor are and so bouncy frogs, I've placed sticky threads all over the floor of the hill to catch any frogs and their big feet. There may be so cobras that can climb up like that first snake I encountered, but they're gonna have a harder ti than the frogs with the sticky threads.
My bedroom's also covered with a cover and several webs, so there are no worries even if there's sothing that can slip through the threads. Not that I think there's sothing like that on this floor. Oh, and I'm still making threads outta my hands and mouth. It's not limited to making it out of my butt as with normal spiders. Is it cause I was a Grey Demon before, or is it a trait of this race?
Oh, right. The trap. A rat is struggling in the web I made there. Seriously, don't make so much noise! I need to rethink my fighting style a little...
The rat's useless for , since it's probably got parasites again, so I used it as a practice target for [Cutting Thread]. With it, my treads can cut through stuff as if they were blades! Or, maybe it's more true to say they all beca piano wires?
No matter, the rat got cut up in the end. Since the skill is so low-leveled, I needed to cut the rat's throats to finish them off. Thanks to [Thread Manipulation], I could move the thread as if I was using so psychic powers on it, allowing to direct it flawlessly towards the points where I wanted to cut. It also works wonders when making webs.
The skill's compatibility with [Cutting Threads] is aweso even without the example I just gave. While [Thread Control] uses MP as fuel, [Cutting Thread] needs SP, aning I won't go low by using both at once.
I left the rat to bleed out, not caring about its filthy corpse. I've got two whole frog corpses in my [Spatial Storage], plus tons of weeds. Not that they are any good, but they taste better than the rats. And yes, I can taste stuff again! Or, it's the first ti in my (second) life that I can taste stuff? You get the idea.
Even if they're easy kills with this strategy, I've yet to gain a new level. I need to find a better way to hunt these monsters without alarming the rest of the Dungeon. That, and even the stupid rats and frogs are starting to learn that this area haunted by death screams is bad news. I need to set up shop sowhere else or start to actively hunt down monsters. As in not using webs. Or, what about...
---
I was lying in wait on a ledge over a small path. There should be one coming soon... there!
A cobra. If I take care of this guy, then...
The cobra slithered closer and closer, with no care in the world. From the looks of its face, I think it's in such a good mood that it would whistle if snakes could do that. That didn't last for long.
Right when the cobra was just below , it stopped dead in its tracks. The cobra was confused, but before it could do anything, I had thrown my readied web over it. The web covered in a black aura landed on top of the cobra and sliced it to pieces.
SYSTEM SSAGE:
[Aura of Darkness] skill level has reached Lv.10.
[Paralyze Ailnt] has been added to [Aura of Darkness Lv.10]
You have earned 0.2 Skill Points
Due to "Champion of Alvatria", an additional 0.2 Skill Points were earned.
Success! A brilliant success! And the Aura finally reached Lv.10! What a bonus!
Using a small amount of MP to use [Thread Control], along with so help from [Throwing], then using the rest of the MP to use [Aura of Darkness] and so SP to grant cutting attribute to the threads with [Cutting Thread], and you got a shredder that weakens and cuts the unfortunate monster trapped in it.
With this, anything that isn't too big or too durable, like those turtles, is minceat in front of ! Am I right? Ri-... right... no one to answer...
... I'm not lonely. Not lonely. If I wanted to, I could have ditched this place at any ti. I found the exit to this place, but then I would probably miss out on the Chain Quest. I'm choosing to be a loner on my own. It's not that I was ostracized into becoming a loner! It's that freaking goddesses' fault that I'm stuck in this nightmarish Dungeon!
Argh, why did she have to reincarnate into this hellhole!? It may be good with the thought of not getting slain by human adventurers, hunters, rcenaries, knights, or whatever, but even so! There are limits to isolation, I tell ya!
I need so more monsters to slay! Gotta shave off so of this aggression!
I got the cobra after leveling up when testing my new "Shredder"-strategy on a bunch of rats before. I'll reach lucky number Lv.3, then I'll go to the next floor. I an, there's no way I wanna miss this Quest out:

A Skill has been added to the rewards! Not sure if it's any good, but hey, take what you can.
Now, where are those cobras?
Still have not found any cobras. When you don't wanna see them, a big-ass snake pops up, but when you're looking for them, then no~. They are too important to be so no-na demon's EXP~.
I'm farming frogs instead. The rats are having the luckiest break of their life now. As for the froggies, not so much.
The rumors were true. Frogs do taste like chicken. But in my case, it's cold, soggy grill chicken. Still better than those nasty, bitter weeds. And they're cut in perfect eatable shapes thanks to the shredder! It's a little ssy in retrieving the at though. And all the blood's ruining the taste.
*Crunch* *Splash* *Crack* *Kreaaak* *Splosh*
... So seriously disturbing noises ca from that natural alleyway over there. Either there's a man-eating tiger with really bad table manners... or sothing that will reduce my SAN points if I take a look.
Well, disturbing so... thing, when they're eating is just bad manners on my part. Let's run!
*Throw* *Splat*
Sothing ca flying out of the alley. It's... the decapitated head of a cobra? Wait, what!? And what happened to this guy!? It looks like the at was forcefully wrenched out, making it look like sothing from a splatter movie combined with a horror one! And, ugh, is that his brains? They're coming outta his mouth! As if it was trying to force itself outside from the cobra's skull.
!? What's that!?
SYSTEM SSAGE:
[Danger Sense] skill level has reached Lv.20.
You have earned 0.2 Skill Points
Due to "Champion of Alvatria", an additional 0.2 Skill Points were earned.
Yeah, I agree. Sothing way too crazy just showed up. It looks like a tar-black sothing that's a cross between a skeleton and a zombie. Not to ntion it's floating while covered in a grey haze.
Iiik!! It's looking over here! What's up with those abyss-like black eyes!?
I-I'm not tasty! D-d-don't float closer... help !!
I ran away the mont that... thing, ca too close. No way I'm gonna end up like that cobra! I'm not gonna be tortured to death like that! And why's this thing just ignoring [Stealth]!?
I ran into tunnels, quickly climbed up the walls, dashed through open roads, but I never shook that thing off my trail! Seriously, work for here, [Stealth]! Even doing a Tarzan-swing with my threads didn't work! What's with this thing! Scary, scary, scary, scary...
Ack! Rats! You guys can't see this thing behind !? Wait, this is a chance!
I ran towards the rats with the ghost behind . The rats didn't see 'cause of my stealth-skills (work on the guy behind , not only the trash!), but they could see the ghost. They stiffened up a sec out of fright, but they tried to escape right after that. Sothing I didn't allow, as I spat globs of sticky thread on them.
I passed the rats, and just as I hoped, the ghost stopped to kill the rats first. Now I've got the ti to-
*Pop*
-to... to... escape? Wait, not even a sec!? The ghost simply stabbed the rat with its long, pointy skeleton hands, and the rat burst like a water balloon! The other five rats that saw this turned hysteric, but the ghost simply went to pop the next guy, er, rat.
*Pop*
These rats can't even be used as a good distraction! Even if I ran away now, I won't get the lead I need to flee this fiend. Ah, that was kinda good.
*Pop*
NO TI FOR JOKES! But only running around won't help ! This thing's 1.1 tis faster than , and it doesn't look like this guy knows the aning of the word tired.
*Pop*
Then what? I'm unsure if [Aura of Darkness] would work on that thing, and that's the most fantasy-ish move I've got now! Wait, that's it!
*Pop*
No ti to waste!! "Initial Skills"! Sothing to beat this guy!
