It was night and cold. It was raining, and the wind was strong. I was lying on my bed, reading a web novel.
Its name?
Kumo desu ga, Nani Ka?
It was about a girl reincarnated as a spider with a system and levels. It is a somewhat clichéd work since nowadays you can find many such isekais online.
Reincarnated as a slime, as a dragon, as a vampire, as an elf... Even reincarnated as a vending machine.
And about the spider novel... It's fun. It's not the best isekai I've ever read, but the proposal is interesting and makes you very anxious for the next chapter. It fulfills the purpose of a novel.
Unfortunately, for me, it lost its way a little halfway through, but it improved again towards the end and was very satisfying.
"I still have to read some extra chapters published by the author." I got out from under the covers and stood up. I looked at my computer screen and noticed it was brighter than usual.
Suddenly, my vision went a little blurry, and I started to feel a pain in my fingertips that went "walking" my arm and suddenly reached my chest. It was excruciating pain.
I couldn't even scream. I held my chest and lost all strength in my body. I fell and crashed into the carpet on the floor.
The pain gradually subsided, along with my consciousness.
I noticed that my cell phone was vibrating before I passed out.
####
When I opened my eyes, I noticed it was dark and quiet around me.
'So this is the afterlife? I didn't think it would be so comfortable.' Despite the darkness, I was enveloped in a warm and very comfortable substance. Seconds later, I noticed I was trapped inside something.
It was a soft wall.
'Hm?' I started to touch it with my 'hand' and pushed harder and harder. The wall was elastic, and it was stickier than I had imagined.
Then, suddenly.
Break~~
I heard the sound of something breaking. It was the wall around me. A dim light was coming from outside.
'Hm? What's that?' I looked through the hole that had been opened and noticed a very rocky and dark ceiling as if it were inside a cave. Then, I heard several sounds similar to when I broke through the supposed "wall."
Then, I crawled out of the hole.
And when I did, I finally realized where I was.
I was sticking my head out of the hole and using my legs to support myself. Yes, legs... Or paws. Relatively thin, slightly hairy legs, they were spider legs.
And all around me? Well, it was a war scene.
Several giant spiders were fighting for their lives. I ducked back into the egg in a panic when I saw this.
'Damn it, damn it. It's happening! The same thing is happening to me!' I remembered the beginning of Kumo desu ga; it was the same; it had happened to Kumoko as soon as she was born. Does that mean I've become her?
No, that's a joke.
Then, suddenly, I heard a voice.
[ The requirements have been completed. The title "Editor" has been acquired ]
'Hm, what? Editor? Did that exist in the novel?'

The voice came like an angel to save me!
But it is strange. I never saw this title before. It's certainly not something that exists in the original story. 'System, please show me what this is.'

'The duration is only five minutes!' I stuck my head out again. The war between the spiders was still going... I don't want to participate.
There were spiders everywhere, so I looked carefully for the best route.
'There, in that place.' In one area, there were a lot of spider bodies, but no battles were taking place. Also, it's in the opposite direction to where my "mother" is. Perfect!
'Please don't come after me.' I screamed in my mind and jumped out of the egg. I fully adapted to this body in a second. With my unusual agility and good movements, I fled the scene.
Maybe my mother didn't see me. I hope not.
'Haaa~~ Haaa~~ Damn, that's tiring.' I used up all my SP because of my weak body. Just running for a minute was enough to exhaust me. I can't make such extreme edits.
Right, where should I go now?
'Hm? Another spider! It's a spider!' It was climbing up the walls and using its webs to build something. 'Kumoko? No, it's not her. She didn't adapt this quickly.'
It's probably one of my older brothers or something. I don't have the appraisal skill to know.
'Oh, that's right. I can buy it with my 100 skill points just like Kumoko did!'
I acquired the level one appraisal skill. Like Kumoko, I analyzed the labyrinth wall.
[ Wall ]
That's the only thing that appeared.
'I have to keep leveling up the skill just like she did. In the meantime, let's keep walking and look for a plance to hide while I recover from this fatigue.'
I'll think more about this situation when I get to a safe place.
####
I walked along some narrow paths and climbed the walls. Fortunately, I didn't meet any monsters on the way.
'It's okay, I can do it. '
As if it was something normal for me, I started to use the web that was coming out of my "ass" to build a house to hide from the dangers.
However, I couldn't finish the house before my SP was practically exhausted.
'I can end up dying of exhaustion.' I climbed up the webs and stood still. I kept my eyes open to observe my surroundings. I could get attacked!
'It's okay... Everything's a bit calmer now.'
I took a deep breath.
'WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? DID I DIE? DID I REALLY DIE? But even if I did die, it doesn't make sense that I came to this place. I wasn't in that classroom.'
I'm not part of this story.
Haaaa~~
I let out a big sigh and started to feel very tired. I felt like sleeping, but I held myself back.
'I can't sleep now. First, I need to take a second look at my status.'
Hmm, I see, so my speed is now back to normal. This skill is really very convenient. I can use it to escape and also to attack.
'I need to test whether I can edit two statuses simultaneously.'
If I can edit my strength and agility at the same time, I can take on anything in this place.
'No, that won't work. My SP is too low! If I edit my statuses and set them too high, I could end up dying.'
But what if I edit my SP, strength, and agility?
'No, I'm sure my skill isn't at the level where I can do that. Anyway, it's not the best time to think about it. I need to get in touch with the administrator.'
If I contact the administrator, I can explain the situation.
But for that to happen, I need to attract attention.
And there's nothing better to attract attention than conquering this entire labyrinth, is there? But conquering the Great Elroe Labyrinth is almost impossible...'
Just thinking about the middle "floor" full of lava makes me scared.
'Right, shall I copy Kumoko's steps? Let's try to capture something.'

To start copying Kumoko's steps, I needed to rest. Even though I didn't sleep, my SP recovered, and I worked on my web to catch an enemy.
I had already seen a few monsters, but fortunately, I wasn't attacked. I'm being ignored...Or maybe they didn't see me.
'That's great.' I made a web that covered a good part of the passage I was in. After doing this, I waited a few minutes until my first enemy appeared.
The first enemy appeared.
It was a toad, but with my appraisal level, I couldn't see its status.
'But I remember it. It's one of the weakest monsters in this area. Urgh, its skin is sticky and disgusting.'
The toad continued to fight as it tried to free itself from my web. However, it couldn't get away. My web was too strong even though my skills were still of a low level.
So...
'Ah, damn!' An attack came. An acid spit came out of its mouth and towards me. It was a surprise, but managed to avoid its attack. 'You son of a bitch!' I shouted in my mind and used my only skill.
[ Editing activated ]
[ Average Offense Ability: 11 ]
'Let's make a drastic edit!' A few more attacks came. I knew it would hurt if I got hit. However, I wondered if I should be hit on purpose by one of its attacks.
Kumoko received skills after being hit.
...
'All right, attack me!' I faced the disgusting toad, and our eyes met. I swallowed my saliva. I was feeling quite nervous as I waited for its attack.
Then...
Spit!
Its attack came at me. I turned towards it and let its 'venom' hit my ass.
When the attack hit me, regret hit me.
'AAAAAHH! THAT HURTS!!! IT FUCKING HURTS!!!' With my ass on fire, I started to run and got away from that toad. I felt like my skin was burning.
IT HURT LIKE HELL!
DAMN, DAMN! How could Kumoko have been so indifferent about it? Or did she suffer as much as I did? I can't remember.
'Damn it, damn it, hurry!'
I began to pray that the voice of heaven would save me.
[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]
[ The skill "Acid Resistance LV1" has been learned ]
'Finally! Damn!'
As soon as I learned the skill, the pain began to diminish. 'But now that I've accomplished my goal, it's time to end it.'
It's time to finish my edit.
[ Edit successfully applied! ]
[ Average Offense Ability: 1000 ]
[ Duration 5:00 ]
'Yes, perfect!'
With my extreme strength, I advanced towards the toad. My agility was high, so it wasn't difficult to get close to it without getting hit. As I approached the toad, it started to use its tongue to attack me, but I avoided it.
'TAKE THAT!'
With my legs, I hit the toad directly in the eyes. My attack was so strong the toad almost came out of my web. It was an instant kill, and I probably got a few experience points!
But I didn't level up.
'I killed it. However, my SP is already low again. That's sucks... I need to level up quickly so I can increase my SP.' There must be a skill that increases my SP, but I can't remember it.
'Anyway! I can edit the SP when my editing skill levels up(probably). Speaking of which, how long will it take to level up?'
Grrr~~
'Oh, my stomach hurts...' Then, I finally started to feel hungry, very hungry.
I looked at the dead toad with the pierced eyes and remembered Kumoko devouring this monster. She said it tasted awful, but is it that bad? I'll only find out when I try it.
So, still reluctant, I bit into the toad. I bit straight into its stomach. My sharp teeth tore through its flesh with ease.
[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]
[ Skill "Acid Resistance LV1" became "Acid Resistance LV2" ]
'Urgh... It tastes awful.'
####
The taste of that toad was like rotten meat. Also, the flesh had a sour taste that made my mouth hurt. But what matters is that I filled my stomach. Now I can rest.
But I didn't have time for that.
My SP is low, so when I heard an enemy approaching... I panicked.
"Let's go this way."
'What?' Human voices. Yes, human voices. I started to hear various voices. Also, I could see the lights of their torches.
'Damn, damn, damn.' I had made my house too big. It would attract too much attention, and I could end up dead.
'Why humans? Isn't it too early?'
I guess I was unlucky. I'm probably in a place where humans frequently visit. But now I shouldn't overthink. I need to hide as quickly as possible.
But I can't run now. My SP is too low.
So I slowly climbed up my web and got as close to the ceiling as possible, hiding behind the tangles of webs I had created.
They were finally here, the humans.
'Please don't do anything...' My heart almost exploded.
I had already seen a few monsters, but fortunately, I wasn't attacked. I'm being ignored...Or maybe they didn't see me.

I stood still, watching the lights of the humans' torches. I was trembling as I would be killed if I were seen. I'm weak, and my SP is too low to do anything with my editing skill.
But if I'm seen, I'll have to do something... At least I have to die trying to survive!
"What's that? There's a lot of webs around here. It looks like the spider that used to live here has abandoned its home." I heard one of the humans speak. I didn't know how many there were, but it was probably a large group.
"Don't touch that." Another human spoke. His voice was deeper. Then, I could see that the glow from their torches had increased.
AH, DAMN!
Yes, he had set fire to my house. Yes, that happened to Kumoko, too, but I didn't imagine it would happen to me. 'Damn it, damn it, what do I do? Should I stand still for now?'
The human footsteps were becoming distant. They were moving away. So I stood still and waited for a while. My web was very flammable. It was burning fast.
When the fire was very close, I finally decided to run away.
I ran across the roof and ran opposite where the humans had gone.
'Those sons of bitches! But at least I wasn't discovered!' I hid between two rocks and used my web to protect myself again. Then I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to get some rest.
It was silent around me. There didn't seem to be anyone.
However, I was suddenly attacked.
The web protecting me began to be corroded by the acid one of the toads living in the area had used. 'SON OF A BITCH!' I didn't edit my Status, but I attacked it anyway. I used my fangs and bit it.
Then my poison kicked in. It was the first time I had used my poison.
'Huh?' It didn't take long for the toad to be killed. Then, I finally suffered my first "skin change."

[The skill "Poison Resistance LV1" became "Poison Resistance LV2" ]
[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]

[ Skill points received. ]
Honestly, it felt good. It was a bit disgusting to see all my skin being changed, but when it was all over, I felt extremely good, as if I'd just woken up from a deep sleep.
I felt very energized.
'Haaaa~~ It's great to level up' I don't remember how long it took Kumoko to level up. Also, I don't remember being notified that my "Thread Manipulation" skill had become LV2.
Now it's LV3.
It probably went up a level after I built my house, and I didn't even notice.
'Poison resistance has also gone up, that's great. Plus, I got 100 skill points.' But I'm not going to spend them now.

'That's right, now that I've noticed... Even though my appraisal skill is still at level one, I can still see all my Status.'
I can see all my Statuses because of my editing skill(probably). I need to see my Status to edit it, don't I?
But even if I can see my Status, I can't see the Status of other monsters. So apart from the fact that I can see my Status because of the editing skill, the evaluation skill works like Kumoko's.
I need to level it up.
'I'll keep 'evaluating' everything I come across on the way.'
I walked slowly and followed some narrow paths in the giant labyrinth. I confess that I no longer knew where I was and didn't have a map to locate me. Even so, I had to keep going.
I want to reach a place that I remember Kumoko having visited before.
The place where the giant bees nest is. If I remember correctly, the monster's name is Finjicote.
'But it will be challenging to find the place. On the way, I'll hunt down more of those toads. There's also a dragon there, isn't there?'
What would happen if I edited my strength to 100,000 and hit it?

'Haaaa~~' Damn, I'm tired.

'Oh!'
I don't know how long it's been, but it's been a few hours. I've spent all this time hunting toads, so it's taken me a long time to level up. They're very low-level monsters, so I had to kill many.
I should do some things to gain skills like... Throw some rocks to gain a throwing skill. I should also try to get some magic skills.
'I have 400 skill points. Can I buy a magic skill with that? I don't think I can get a good skill.'
Let's move on and look for the place where the nest is. That place is the perfect place to farm experience at my current level. But I have to be careful, it won't be that easy.
'But seriously... I don't think it will be that easy to get there. Besides, I'll have to face a lot of enemies on the way.'
But if I'm seen, I'll have to do something... At least I have to die trying to survive!
"What's that? There's a lot of webs around here. It looks like the spider that used to live here has abandoned its home." I heard one of the humans speak. I didn't know how many there were, but it was probably a large group.
"Don't touch that." Another human spoke. His voice was deeper. Then, I could see that the glow from their torches had increased.
AH, DAMN!
Yes, he had set fire to my house. Yes, that happened to Kumoko, too, but I didn't imagine it would happen to me. 'Damn it, damn it, what do I do? Should I stand still for now?'
The human footsteps were becoming distant. They were moving away. So I stood still and waited for a while. My web was very flammable. It was burning fast.
When the fire was very close, I finally decided to run away.
I ran across the roof and ran opposite where the humans had gone.
'Those sons of bitches! But at least I wasn't discovered!' I hid between two rocks and used my web to protect myself again. Then I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to get some rest.
It was silent around me. There didn't seem to be anyone.
However, I was suddenly attacked.
The web protecting me began to be corroded by the acid one of the toads living in the area had used. 'SON OF A BITCH!' I didn't edit my Status, but I attacked it anyway. I used my fangs and bit it.
Then my poison kicked in. It was the first time I had used my poison.
'Huh?' It didn't take long for the toad to be killed. Then, I finally suffered my first "skin change."

Honestly, it felt good. It was a bit disgusting to see all my skin being changed, but when it was all over, I felt extremely good, as if I'd just woken up from a deep sleep.
I felt very energized.
'Haaaa~~ It's great to level up' I don't remember how long it took Kumoko to level up. Also, I don't remember being notified that my "Thread Manipulation" skill had become LV2.
Now it's LV3.
It probably went up a level after I built my house, and I didn't even notice.
'Poison resistance has also gone up, that's great. Plus, I got 100 skill points.' But I'm not going to spend them now.
'Right, now that my Status has been restored, I can use my editing skill again. Hmmm... My SP has gone up a bit."

'That's right, now that I've noticed... Even though my appraisal skill is still at level one, I can still see all my Status.'
I can see all my Statuses because of my editing skill(probably). I need to see my Status to edit it, don't I?
But even if I can see my Status, I can't see the Status of other monsters. So apart from the fact that I can see my Status because of the editing skill, the evaluation skill works like Kumoko's.
I need to level it up.
'I'll keep 'evaluating' everything I come across on the way.'
I walked slowly and followed some narrow paths in the giant labyrinth. I confess that I no longer knew where I was and didn't have a map to locate me. Even so, I had to keep going.

'Honestly, I don't have that many skills. It takes a lot of work to gain skills. I've attacked the toads in every way...'
I've attacked them with stones, bitten, punched, kicked, and done all that, but I haven't gained any new attack skills. My only weapons at the moment are my poison and my web.
However, I'm not as clever as Kumoko. Even though I know how to use my web, I can't use it to my advantage that easily. Honestly, I need to fight differently.
Trying to trap my enemies and poison them isn't working. My acid resistance has even gone up several levels because of the amount of attacks I've received from those damned toads.
'Haaa~~'
Besides, I was trying not to be held hostage by my editing skill since it uses up a lot of my SP, and I could end up in trouble if I get too tired during a battle.
However, this skill is the only way to conquer this labyrinth.
If I follow in Kumoko's footsteps, I'll end up dead. Besides, it's no fun following the original story and doing everything the way she did. 'I need to create my own story.'
Since I have the possibility of editing my Status and abilities, how about creating an original story called:
"I've been reincarnated as Kumoko, and now I have an editing system that allows me to be the strongest monster in the world." ?
'Naaahhh.'
Grrrrr~~
Oh damn, I have to eat again...
####
I stuffed my belly with the meat of two frogs I had killed earlier and then built a new simple house using my webs so I could rest for a while. I stayed there for almost three hours.
It didn't take long for all my SP to recover.
'Now that I'm fully recovered, I'll farm some experience to get to level 10 and evolve.'
Speaking of evolution, I'll do the same evolutions as Kumoko to get the Arachne race. It's the right thing to do. Well... I don't know if the system will give me the same evolution path.
'Right, there aren't any monsters around here.' I walked around for a few minutes. I walked mainly along the walls and the ceiling to avoid the rocky floor, which could be dangerous.
Most of the monsters in this place stayed on the ground.
'Oh, speaking of them! I think this monster's name is Elroe Ferect. It's a centipede, urgh, it's disgusting.'
The amount of legs was highly uncomfortable. I hate that kind of insect with lots of legs.
'As far as I remember, this monster is weak but fast. Oh, that's right, I can use the Appraisal skill.'
[ Elroe Ferect LV4 ]
'Lv4? It's at a lower level than mine. I don't need to edit my Status to deal with it.'
However, this is my first time fighting this monster, so I must be careful.
'Right, I'll approach carefully.'
I walked along the ceiling in the darkest part. I remained camouflaged in the dark, and the monster didn't notice me. It continued to walk with its many paws towards me.
I stood still and waited until it was right below me.
'Now!' Screaming in my mind, I let go of the ceiling and fell towards the monster.
Its senses were good, so the Ferect noticed my presence. It looked up, and its fangs were shown to me.
'Urgh!' I had to throw my web towards the ceiling and stop my movement before being hit. I was left dangling, and the Ferect stood up using the back of its body.
A strange sound came from its mouth, and I swung using my web.
Then, I broke free of the web and flew towards the wall. As soon as I reached the wall, Ferect ran towards me. However, I'm faster. I ran towards it. Then I hit the back of its body.
'Damn, its shell is hard!' However, I couldn't inject my poison because of its hard shell. 'Then I'll use my strength!' With my legs, I hit just the back of its body.
The insect screamed in pain as my light but powerful legs began to break its shell.
'If it had a higher level, I'd be fucked!'
With its body now damaged, I managed to inject poison into it, killing it.
'Damn, that was more fun than I thought. Luckily, I didn't get hit once... But that was dangerous.'
I took Ferect's body, wrapped it in my web, and put it on the wall to eat later. As soon as I finished putting the body away, new monsters appeared, perhaps attracted by the sound of our fight.
'But that's good~~ They'll become experience points for my evolution~~'

"Hmm, everything is progressing rather quickly. But I'm still a long way from level 10. There aren't many monsters here. Just more Ferects." Ah, it's true; I saw a trio of tiny dinosaurs.
But they were on level two and ran away when they saw me kill one of the Ferects. I could have gone after them, but I didn't.
'All right, let's eat and get some rest, after which we'll continue my journey in search of where the bee's nest is... Or was it wasps?' It doesn't matter. It's a great place to level up.

But won't doing that hinder Kumoko's evolution? But I'm not Kumoko? So far, I haven't found out precisely whether I became her or I'm just an extra who ended up in this place.

'Waaaaa~~ There are too many.'
I had arrived in a place I shouldn't have been. It was a place that was infested with monsters. It was the Ferect again, but there were too many of them this time! A colony of them! In other words, a lot of experience for me!
It was disgusting, though.
The monsters were all together. It is like a plague.
'It's disgusting... But I have to do it.'
It was a small room inside the labyrinth full of Ferects. It's a nest of these monsters. Most were standing still, probably sleeping or resting, but some were moving around.
It was very dark, but I could see everything thanks to my ability [ Night Vision LV8 ].
'The way I am now, I can't kill all these monsters without using my editing skill. How many of them are here? One... two... three... There must be thirty of them. That's wild!'

I already started to feel the difference. It was incredible to have so much strength and agility simultaneously. I felt like I could run around and kill anything in this maze.
Of course, it's not that easy.
'I have to do this quickly'. I looked again at the vast number of monsters together in that "room" and swallowed my saliva. I have five minutes to do this... No, I have less time.
My SP is too low.
'Damn, I've got to get an SP regeneration skill or something. ALL RIGHT, I'M LOSING FOCUS! I have to do it soon!'
I took a deep breath and then moved on. I went for the nearest monsters first.
The level 4 centipedes managed to react, but not in time. I used my legs to hit them directly in the head and kill them. After that, I threw my web towards the ceiling and climbed up.
'Oops!'
Then, a commotion broke out among the monsters.
They noticed my presence and started making lots of sounds. They were angry.
I stuck to the ceiling and then jumped towards the center of the centipedes, landing on one of them and biting it. This time, my fangs managed to pierce its shell, and my poison entered its body.
My poison was potent, so the monster died quickly, even though it had a resistance to poison.
'But now I'm surrounded.' I looked around, and all the monsters jumped towards me simultaneously. I threw my web in the eyes of two of them and hit two others with my legs.
They didn't die, but they flew away.
After that, I bit one of the 'blind' centipedes and threw my web towards the ceiling. I narrowly missed being hit by the bite of one of the centipedes.
'How many have I killed? There must still be 20 of them, that's unbelievable.'
But I don't want to give up! I kept going down and attacking the centipedes. In three minutes, I managed to kill more than ten of them, and one of them was of a high level. Thanks to that, I was able to go up another level.
[ "Small Lesser Taratect LV7" became "Small Lesser Taratect LV8" ]
'I'm leveling up very slowly. I wanted to gain more experience.'
I regained my SP and also the little HP I had lost. However, my edits to my strength and agility are almost gone. I don't know if I'll be able to kill them all.
'But I have to try!'
I threw myself from the ceiling towards one of the centipedes. They were all staring at me, so I had no way of attacking them by surprise. Luckily for me, they can't climb up to the ceiling.
It would be much more difficult if they could climb the ceiling like me.
Vuosh!
But even if I can't surprise them, I can change my trajectory. However, I could have done better.
Even though I moved quickly and fooled the centipede's eyes, it still managed to attack.
It opened its fangs and almost hit me, but I threw my web into its eyes and then fell on it, piercing it with my fangs and killing it. As soon as I was off its body, I sighed and looked around.
All the centipedes were coming towards me.
'One, two, three, four... I think there's a total of 8 of them. I'd killed more than I thought.'
I decided to face them head-on while I still had time. I'm much faster and stronger. I can do it!
'Take that, and that.'
I started hitting the approaching centipedes with my legs like a boxer. Even though I didn't have claws, I was causing much damage because of my high strength.
I took advantage of the monsters being knocked out for a few seconds and attacked them with my poison. Their number was gradually decreasing. However, the time that my ability was active was also decreasing.
[ 1:20 ]
"Fast, but fast!" I smashed the head of one of them against the floor.
After killing one more, my level went up again.
[ "Small Lesser Taratect LV8" became "Small Lesser Taratect LV9" ]
I continued to kill without worrying about my SP. Their number was rapidly decreasing, and the next thing I knew, only one was left. And it was the highest-level centipede. It had been hiding until now.
It can be smarter. I don't know.
It stood over the bodies of its companions and stared at me.
[ 0:20 ]
'I've killed a lot of them in a minute, but I need to deal with the last one.'
With an impulse, I jumped towards the centipede. Seeming to understand its fate, it screeched and stood still as it received my attack. I threw it against the wall, and it screamed in pain.
Then I appeared on top of it, and my eyes stared at it. I could sense that it was afraid of me.
I gave it a big smile and injected my poison into its body.
[ "Small Lesser Taratect LV9" became "Small Lesser Taratect LV10" ]
[ Requirements Acquired ]
[ Small Lesser Taratect is able to evolve ]
'Oh my god, I can finally evolve! Thank God I found this nest... Oh, and my statuses are restored.'
Fortunately, I've leveled up. My SP was low.
'All right, let's follow Kumoko's evolution path!'
Of course, it's not that easy.
'I have to do this quickly'. I looked again at the vast number of monsters together in that "room" and swallowed my saliva. I have five minutes to do this... No, I have less time.
My SP is too low.
'Damn, I've got to get an SP regeneration skill or something. ALL RIGHT, I'M LOSING FOCUS! I have to do it soon!'
I took a deep breath and then moved on. I went for the nearest monsters first.
The level 4 centipedes managed to react, but not in time. I used my legs to hit them directly in the head and kill them. After that, I threw my web towards the ceiling and climbed up.
'Oops!'
Then, a commotion broke out among the monsters.
They noticed my presence and started making lots of sounds. They were angry.
I stuck to the ceiling and then jumped towards the center of the centipedes, landing on one of them and biting it. This time, my fangs managed to pierce its shell, and my poison entered its body.
My poison was potent, so the monster died quickly, even though it had a resistance to poison.
'But now I'm surrounded.' I looked around, and all the monsters jumped towards me simultaneously. I threw my web in the eyes of two of them and hit two others with my legs.
They didn't die, but they flew away.
After that, I bit one of the 'blind' centipedes and threw my web towards the ceiling. I narrowly missed being hit by the bite of one of the centipedes.
'How many have I killed? There must still be 20 of them, that's unbelievable.'
But I don't want to give up! I kept going down and attacking the centipedes. In three minutes, I managed to kill more than ten of them, and one of them was of a high level. Thanks to that, I was able to go up another level.
[ "Small Lesser Taratect LV7" became "Small Lesser Taratect LV8" ]
'I'm leveling up very slowly. I wanted to gain more experience.'
I regained my SP and also the little HP I had lost. However, my edits to my strength and agility are almost gone. I don't know if I'll be able to kill them all.
'But I have to try!'
I threw myself from the ceiling towards one of the centipedes. They were all staring at me, so I had no way of attacking them by surprise. Luckily for me, they can't climb up to the ceiling.
It would be much more difficult if they could climb the ceiling like me.
Vuosh!
But even if I can't surprise them, I can change my trajectory. However, I could have done better.
Even though I moved quickly and fooled the centipede's eyes, it still managed to attack.
It opened its fangs and almost hit me, but I threw my web into its eyes and then fell on it, piercing it with my fangs and killing it. As soon as I was off its body, I sighed and looked around.
All the centipedes were coming towards me.
'One, two, three, four... I think there's a total of 8 of them. I'd killed more than I thought.'
I decided to face them head-on while I still had time. I'm much faster and stronger. I can do it!
'Take that, and that.'

Kumoko's path of Evolution was simple, and I could remember it. As I imagined, I had two options to choose from. Lesser Taratect or Small Taratect, and Kumoko evolution was Small Taratect.
Of course, as I knew what would happen when I evolved, I left the room where all the bodies were and went to a slightly more secluded area. As my SP was restored, I could build the house.
I hid among my cosy webs and then made my choice.
[ "Small Lesser Taratect" is evolving into "Small Taratect" ]
As soon as I made my choice, I quickly lost consciousness. It was almost instantaneous, even a little strange.
And when I woke up sometime later.
[ Small Taratect confirmed ]

'My Status hasn't changed much... Because I've returned to level 1. But as I level up, I'll get much stronger.'
Grrr~~
My stomach was rumbling again, so I left my house and went to the room where the centipedes were to fill my stomach. I'd gotten used to the horrible taste of these monsters.
'Someone came here...' But to my surprise, many of the bodies had disappeared. I don't know if they decompose quickly, but I don't think so. I'm sure someone came through here.
But that doesn't matter.
Nom~~ Nom~~ Nom~~
I ate the monsters without caring what it tasted like.
'Ok, I'm full now.'
I left the room and went on with my adventure. I walked for some time, perhaps for almost two hours. On the way, I encountered some monsters that were no challenge to me.
After my Evolution, the editing effect lasts longer.
After evolving, the editing effect will now last 10 minutes.
'I thought increasing the skill level would increase the time, but it only increased after I evolved.' If the time keeps growing as I evolve, the edit will last practically forever.
But come to think of it, doesn't it already last forever?
There's no cooldown. The only thing that prevents me from keeping edits active is that my SP drops much faster when they're active. When I have a large number of SP, I'll be invincible.
'It excites me to keep leveling up and increasing my SP.'
Oh, that's right, I went up to level 3 in those two hours!

*Change of POV*
In a practically dead-end room, a spider cautiously arrived while scanning the interior. The spider had the ability called night vision. The spider could see everything.
There, the spider could see several bodies of giant centipedes stacked on each other.
'Wah! What the hell happened here? Was it the humans I saw before? Or was it some other monster?' the spider thought. The spider wasn't afraid but worried that the person or monster who had done all that was still around.
However, the spider couldn't hear anything or see anyone. The bodies had been abandoned.
'Will the person who killed all these monsters mind if I steal some food?' With its web, the spider smiled and then wrapped up some of the bodies to take with it. The spider began to drag them away.
As it left, the spider noticed remnants of spider web on the walls and the room's ceiling.
'A spider did that? It could be one of my brothers. Nai waaa~~'
The spider dragged the bodies away and stuck them to the wall. After doing so, it ate one of the bodies and then decided to rest for a while.
After resting, the spider returned to the same place the bodies had been; however, as soon as the spider arrived...
'All the bodies had been devoured!' Only the hard shell of the bodies remained! 'Who did this?' The spider finally started to get scared.
The spider had even forgotten that it could be a spider.
The spider thought this monster was much more dangerous than a spider!
'I'm going to get away from this place.' The monster that killed all those monsters and devoured them could appear at any moment.
With its eight legs, the spider fled desperately.

That's it, I've finally found it! This is the place I've been looking for. This is the same place where Kumoko fell and went into the labyrinth's depths, where there are more powerful monsters.
There's also a bee's nest.
'Ah, I can already see three of them.'
Finjicote LV3
HP 201
MP 66
SP 148
Offense: 78
Defense: 75
Magic: 35
Resistance: 41
Speed: 74
'They're all level 3. My strength is enough to deal with them. I don't need to use my editing skills here.'
Besides, the nest isn't here.
They're coming! From what I remember, they have poison.
The three monsters chased me, and I quickly moved and used my web to create a trap. As they were dumb monsters, I managed to catch one of them.
One of them got stuck, and the other two just watched as I bit off their friend's head.
After that, I jumped towards them and fell on top of one of the Finjicote, knocking it to the ground. I bit it, and its friend took advantage to try to hurt me, but I avoided its attack.
The monster hit its friend in the stomach, and with my legs, I grabbed its head and twisted it.
After that, I picked up the bodies of the three and threw them into the hole to see how deep it was. Even with my night vision, I couldn't see the bottom. I don't even know if there are any monsters down there.
'It's pretty deep, but I can reach the bottom using my webs.'
But if I go down, climbing back up would be tricky.
I'll be unable to climb these walls because of my low SP. I'll probably get tired before I get up here.
'So if I go down, I won't be able to climb up... I'll take another route. But I need to remember the path Kumoko used.'
I'm sure I'll remember when the time comes.
'Up...' There's nothing. Is this a different place? I remember that Kumoko found and destroyed a nest here later in the story. There's no way she's already destroyed the nest!
In any case, it's an excellent place to reach the deepest part of the labyrinth.
Speaking of the labyrinth, I can already see the data that Kumoko saw with her "Appraisal" skill.
[ Great Elroe Labyrinth wall ]
[ The Great Elroe Labyrinth is the largest labyrinth in the world, connecting the continents of Daztrudia and Kasanagara ]
'Yes, that's better. I can also tell which are the two continents... But I'll worry about that when I leave this place.'
Now it's time to go down!
####
It was hard, as hard as I thought it would be. At first, I started to climb down the walls with my legs, but I couldn't get very far, and I started to lose strength in my legs. I confess that I'm getting scared of falling.
If I fall, I could really die.
So here's what I decided to do.
I used my web and started doing a bungee jump, throwing my web in the wall and letting my body fall, then repeating the same process repeatedly.
I confess it was a lot of fun.
Then, suddenly.
'Oh, crap!' As I was falling, I could see them. There were several of them, several monsters of the Finjicote race. They seem much more threatening now that they're in such a large group.
Just those three didn't scare me, but now I'm terrified!
How many of them are there? 20, 30, 40! I can't count. Oh, and I can see their nest. Damn, I couldn't see it before because of the depth, what the fuck!
[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]
[ Skill "Appraisal LV6" became "Appraisal LV7" ]
Ah, they're coming!
'I have to fall or go up again!' Desperately, I filled the wall with web and made a makeshift house. I made thick webbing to protect myself and opened my system to edit my status.
This time, I didn't increase my strength and agility. I decided to increase my resistance and speed! This time, I focused mainly on my resistance.
[ Average Resistance Ability: 19 ]
'Fuck it, set my resistance to 5,000! And set my speed to 2,000!' Even if my SP runs out, I must do it. At least, I must survive.
Ah, they're attacking.
The web in my house started getting attacked from everywhere. At least 10 Finjicotes were attacking with their stingers at the same time. I despaired that my web wouldn't protect me.
But now, with editing applied, everything is fine. My resistance (defense) is so high I won't be hurt.
'Let's go!' I climbed up the wall at high speed. The Finjicote couldn't even keep up with me. After climbing a bit and attracting the Finjicotes, I threw myself, yes, I threw myself. This time, I didn't even use my web.
I jumped straight into the nest.
My heart stopped as I passed the monsters and crashed into their nest. I clung to that spot and soon began to be attacked from all sides. But my high resistance soon proved its worth.
I was hit once, but I wasn't even hurt.
'This monster isn't an evolution, but it's level 5 and didn't even manage to hurt me. I should have some fun!'
There's also a bee's nest.

Raising my resistance to 5.000 was enough to make my defense impenetrable to weak monsters like these. That's incredible.
I have to be careful, though.

'There are some High Finjicote and probably some more evolved races. Let's go in.'
There was a hole in the nest.
It was a beehive, and the queen was hidden inside. Of course, the queen wasn't alone. There were many Finjicotes inside the nest. There were monsters inside the nest, and the monsters outside started to come in.
I used my poison and my legs to blow their heads off. It is effortless when you don't take damage.
After a few seconds...
[ "Small Taratect LV3" became "Small Taratect LV4" ]
'My level is up!' My SP was restored. And, of course, I took advantage of the large amount of bodies of those I killed to block the path. The nest was narrow, so using the bodies is a good move.
However, more and more enemies appeared.
Then, I came across one of the generals.

Fortunately, it was a low-level general. I'm getting closer to the queen.
'I'll remove the edits in my speed and edit my strength. Let's raise the strength to 2,000.'
After doing that, everything became easier. I didn't even need to use my poison. With just my "fists," I could kill all the monsters. Their HP wasn't high, and their defense couldn't withstand my attacks.
Punch!
Punch!
Punch!
Every punch I threw with one of my legs was a kill.

'That's what I call exp farm! Where are you, queen?!'
####
Finding the queen after killing some of the generals wasn't difficult. The queen was hiding from me. The queen is scared. 'Haaa~~ There are still a lot of monsters here.'
'They keep getting in my way!' But even though I found the queen, it's hard to attack it when so many monsters are in my way. I continued to kill them, but the number of monsters didn't decrease.
The number of generals also grew, and they set up an extensive line of defense so that I couldn't get close to the queen.
But since my defense was very high because of the editing I'd done, I decided to dive towards them and just hit them with all my strength.
And that's how I easily broke through the generals' line of defense.
[ "Small Taratect LV8" became "Small Taratect LV9" ]
I used my legs to punch them towards the queen. However, the queen managed to protect herself from the bodies of her subordinates and remained intact. The generals' bodies broke in half because of my attacks.
So, the queen decided to make the easy choice. She realized she couldn't face me, so she ran away.
Of course, I won't let that happen.
I threw my web towards the queen and grabbed her, then I pulled with all my strength, and she couldn't resist. Seeing that she was going to be killed, the queen tried to attack me, but to no avail.
Her sting couldn't hurt me. I then bit her and injected my poison.
The queen held on longer than the other monsters but soon died.
'Ah, but I didn't level up. However, my skill has gone up a level.'
[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]
[ The skill "Poison Fang LV8" became "Poison Fang LV9" ]

[ The title "Poison Master" has been received. ]
[ Skill "Poison Synthesis LV1" and "Poison Magic LV1" have been acquired. ]
'Ohhh! New skills! Besides, it won't be long before the "Poison Fang" skill reaches the maximum level!'
I smiled with satisfaction and noticed that the surrounding monsters had finally panicked. With the queen's death, they no longer had anyone to follow and didn't know what to do. I had to take advantage and gain more experience.
However, now the Finjicotes were spreading out across the big hole, it would take a lot of work to hunt them.
It took a long time, but after throwing myself over the walls, trapping some of them with my webs and a lot of quick punches, I managed to kill them all. And then, I got the notification I'd been waiting for.
[ "Small Taratect LV9" became "Small Taratect LV10" ]
[ Able to evolve ]
'YEEEESSSS!!!'
####
I had to get near the bottom and make my new home. And that's what I did. After eating a bit, I continued to use my web to go down little by little.
And then I got close to the bottom.
At the bottom, there was nothing but rocky ground; the dragon wasn't there. It must be hiding somewhere.
'All right, let's make a small house. I don't need to exaggerate. All right, just like that.' I quickly built my home, creating a layer of thick webbing to protect me from any enemies that might come near.
It wouldn't protect me from the dragon, but I doubt the Araba dragon will attack me.
'Right, now I can choose the path of evolution.'
[ Taratect ]
[ Small Poison Taratect ]
'Yes, that's it. I probably unlocked this path of evolution because I've upped my poison skill a lot.'
I used it a lot.
'I wonder if I would release this path of evolution if I didn't keep using my poison. I don't think so.'
Right, the time has come!
'I choose Small Poison Taratect!'
I have to be careful, though.

'There are some High Finjicote and probably some more evolved races. Let's go in.'
There was a hole in the nest.
It was a beehive, and the queen was hidden inside. Of course, the queen wasn't alone. There were many Finjicotes inside the nest. There were monsters inside the nest, and the monsters outside started to come in.
I used my poison and my legs to blow their heads off. It is effortless when you don't take damage.
After a few seconds...
[ "Small Taratect LV3" became "Small Taratect LV4" ]
'My level is up!' My SP was restored. And, of course, I took advantage of the large amount of bodies of those I killed to block the path. The nest was narrow, so using the bodies is a good move.
However, more and more enemies appeared.
Then, I came across one of the generals.
General Finjicote LV2
HP 365
MP 287
SP 353
322
Offense: 187
Defense: 145
Magic: 142
Resistance: 150
Speed: 213
Fortunately, it was a low-level general. I'm getting closer to the queen.
'I'll remove the edits in my speed and edit my strength. Let's raise the strength to 2,000.'
After doing that, everything became easier. I didn't even need to use my poison. With just my "fists," I could kill all the monsters. Their HP wasn't high, and their defense couldn't withstand my attacks.
Punch!
Punch!
Punch!
Every punch I threw with one of my legs was a kill.
[ "Small Taratect LV4" became "Small Taratect LV5" ]
[ "Small Taratect LV5" became "Small Taratect LV6" ]
[ "Small Taratect LV6 became "Small Taratect LV7" ]
[ "Small Taratect LV7 became "Small Taratect LV8" ]
'That's what I call exp farm! Where are you, queen?!'
####
Finding the queen after killing some of the generals wasn't difficult. The queen was hiding from me. The queen is scared. 'Haaa~~ There are still a lot of monsters here.'
'They keep getting in my way!' But even though I found the queen, it's hard to attack it when so many monsters are in my way. I continued to kill them, but the number of monsters didn't decrease.
The number of generals also grew, and they set up an extensive line of defense so that I couldn't get close to the queen.
But since my defense was very high because of the editing I'd done, I decided to dive towards them and just hit them with all my strength.
And that's how I easily broke through the generals' line of defense.
[ "Small Taratect LV8" became "Small Taratect LV9" ]
I used my legs to punch them towards the queen. However, the queen managed to protect herself from the bodies of her subordinates and remained intact. The generals' bodies broke in half because of my attacks.
So, the queen decided to make the easy choice. She realized she couldn't face me, so she ran away.
Of course, I won't let that happen.
I threw my web towards the queen and grabbed her, then I pulled with all my strength, and she couldn't resist. Seeing that she was going to be killed, the queen tried to attack me, but to no avail.
Her sting couldn't hurt me. I then bit her and injected my poison.
The queen held on longer than the other monsters but soon died.
'Ah, but I didn't level up. However, my skill has gone up a level.'
[ Skill proficiency achieved. ]
[ The skill "Poison Fang LV8" became "Poison Fang LV9" ]
[ Requirements complete ]
[ The title "Poison Master" has been received. ]
[ Skill "Poison Synthesis LV1" and "Poison Magic LV1" have been acquired. ]
'Ohhh! New skills! Besides, it won't be long before the "Poison Fang" skill reaches the maximum level!'
I smiled with satisfaction and noticed that the surrounding monsters had finally panicked. With the queen's death, they no longer had anyone to follow and didn't know what to do. I had to take advantage and gain more experience.
However, now the Finjicotes were spreading out across the big hole, it would take a lot of work to hunt them.
It took a long time, but after throwing myself over the walls, trapping some of them with my webs and a lot of quick punches, I managed to kill them all. And then, I got the notification I'd been waiting for.
[ "Small Taratect LV9" became "Small Taratect LV10" ]
[ Able to evolve ]
'YEEEESSSS!!!'
####
I had to get near the bottom and make my new home. And that's what I did. After eating a bit, I continued to use my web to go down little by little.
And then I got close to the bottom.
At the bottom, there was nothing but rocky ground; the dragon wasn't there. It must be hiding somewhere.
'All right, let's make a small house. I don't need to exaggerate. All right, just like that.' I quickly built my home, creating a layer of thick webbing to protect me from any enemies that might come near.
It wouldn't protect me from the dragon, but I doubt the Araba dragon will attack me.
'Right, now I can choose the path of evolution.'
[ Taratect ]
[ Small Poison Taratect ]
'Yes, that's it. I probably unlocked this path of evolution because I've upped my poison skill a lot.'
I used it a lot.
'I wonder if I would release this path of evolution if I didn't keep using my poison. I don't think so.'
Right, the time has come!
'I choose Small Poison Taratect!'

Once again, I had the unpleasant experience of having my consciousness switched off so that my evolution could take place.
And after waking up, I felt great. Even better than before.
'Oh, I've shrunk in size. Well, my race is now Small Poison Taratect, so... But that's not important now. What's important is the new abilities.'

'How convenient, the system is even showing off the new skills. I've gained some resistance skills and the [ Poison Attack ] skill. There's also the [ Cutting Thread ] skill that might help me out.'
I was hoping to gain a few more attack skills, but that didn't happen. It's a shame...
'All right, now let's open the store and spend those 1,400 points. That's a lot of points. I'll finally be able to buy a skill that help me with my SP.'
So, after some searching, I found two interesting skills.
[ HP Auto-Recovery LV1 ] and [ SP Recovery Speed LV1 ].
'These two skills will help me a lot. I don't have any ability to recover my HP when I'm injured, and my SP doesn't recover quickly unless I rest.'
These two skills are necessary!
'I'll buy them both. I don't remember the prices in the original story, but aren't they a bit inflated? 500 points per skill. But at least now I have both skills.'
With the 400 remaining points, I couldn't buy the skill to control mana, so I decided to save the points for later. And now that my evolution is complete, it's time to go after the dragon.
'Oh, it's true!'
The duration of the effect of the editing skill has doubled again! It was 5 minutes when I was just born, when I became a Small Taratect it became 10 minutes, and now editing lasts 20 minutes!
That's insane!
'Wait for me, dragon Araba!'
I destroyed my house using my new ability to cut and then descended to the bottom of the hole. My hunt for the Alba dragon will begin.
####
As soon as I reached the bottom, I started to feel a little nervous. I began to feel a chill all over my body, a sign that something dangerous could happen at any moment.
Boom~~
Boom~~
'What the fuck?' So I ran away and hid behind some rocks. 'Are those footsteps? Are you kidding? They're like explosions!' Then, the one who was producing these thundering footsteps appeared.
'It's not the Araba dragon. It's them, the two land dragons who only walk together. I've forgotten their names!' I want to use my appraisal skill on them to see their names, but I'm too nervous to do so.
I leaned against the rocks and stood still without making a sound.
'Should I use the editing skill and kill them?'
[ The skill "Fear Resistance LV1" was learned ]
'What? Am I that scared?' No, I'm not that scared.
I took a breath and looked at the two dragons. They were really big, huge. If they wanted to, they could step on me and kill me easily. There was no way I couldn't be scared.
'If I'm scared of them, imagine when I meet Araba? I have to have confidence in my editing skill.'

'All right, I have to calm down. My strength and agility are high; I can do this. Ah, but they're terrifying. They're very threatening! I can understand why Kumoko was afraid of these monsters.'
If I, who can edit my Status, am so scared, imagine her, who was still weak when she first encountered these dragons.
'Let's see, let's come up with a plan. I have to fight with one at a time. Facing them both at once will be difficult, mainly because of Gehre's speed.'
My speed is 10,000. Do I really need to fight with one at a time? It's possible that they won't even be able to keep up with my movements.
[ The skill "Fear Resistance LV1" became "Fear Resistance LV2" ]
'Well... I'm still scared. Hm? They look like they're getting ready to rest.'
The dragons lay down on the ground together. Oh, and Kagna is in front of her companion. As far as I remember, he's the tank.
If I'm correct, their battle strategy is...
Kagna attacks and draws attention to himself, and Gehre takes the opportunity to attack the enemy in the back or flanks.
'So, I think I should kill Gehre first. Gehre is more of a problem because of his speed and ability called [ Dimensional Maneuvering ].'
But since they're going to rest now, I should wait for them to sleep, shouldn't I?

I waited for a long time. Fortunately, there were no Finjicote to attack me and reveal my location since I had killed them all.
There were no other monsters around either. It's probably because of the dragons since they're too strong and scare the other monsters away.
'I've waited so long that the editing effect has already been deactivated.' I was terrified, but now my resistance to fear has gone up a level, and I feel calmer. Let's edit again so I can make my attack.
Speaking of which, I noticed something curious.
'My other active skills use my SP, but my editing skill doesn't use SP or MP.' It's strange. It's as if this skill isn't part of this world and, therefore, doesn't use any of this world's energy.
I wanted to know how all this happened. How did I come to this world with a skill that shouldn't exist?
'It wasn't the administrator who brought me to this place. I'm an anomaly here.' I sighed and then made the necessary edits. I again set my strength and speed to 10,000 to attack those dragons.
They had their eyes closed and were sleeping soundly.
'All right. I'll attack Gehre directly into his head. The head is the most sensitive part of every living being, right?'
I can be wrong.
'All right.' I walked slowly and out from behind the rocks. I approached the dragons to make sure they were asleep. These guys' senses are good, so they'll react if they're not sleeping.
And... they're sleeping.
'...' I stared at the dragons for a few seconds and then took another deep breath. After that, I finally decided to attack. I used all the strength in my eight legs to fly towards them.
Yes, I didn't run. I flew.
I flew at high speed as if I were Goku using KI to fly. I flew straight to Gehre's head. I couldn't stop now.
However, I had forgotten an important detail. Gehre has extremely powerful perception skills. He could detect my presence and also the danger.
'Ah.' Because of his stolen abilities, when I noticed, Gehre already had his eyes on me and opened his mouth to attack me.
'Damn it!' Desperate, I threw a massive amount of my web towards his mouth. I threw my web over Gehre's face, causing him to start choking. And that's when things got complicated.
With his dimensional ability, Gehre disappeared, and then I realized that things wouldn't be so easy.
HP 41/56
'I've lost HP!' Just "landing" on Gehre's head was enough to take away a lot of my HP. I wasn't even hit by him!
'Fuck it' So I decided to attack him directly in the head again, using all my strength.
Gehre, who had already removed my webs from his face, noticed the danger of my attack and tried to avoid it. However, even though he is fast, my speed is even greater.
I used all my strength in my front legs to hit his head.
Ploft~~
However, the two legs I used to punch him exploded into pieces. Because of my resistance to pain, I didn't feel much pain. Even so, despair struck me.
'Damn it, damn it, damn it.' I was still on top of Gehre's head, who was dazed by my attack. I thought about attacking him again, but I realized that my body wouldn't be able to take it.
HP 11/56
Besides, Kagna had woken up and was preparing for battle.
'I have to run. I won't be able to kill these guys.'
And that's what I did.
I put all my strength into my hind legs and threw myself towards the ceiling. I passed Kagna, who was still trying to understand what was happening, threw my web onto the roof, and held on.
Then, I quickly ran along the stone walls without looking back.
It was hard, though, as I was missing two legs.
'Damn, I hadn't thought of that! Even though I have a lot of strength, my defense is garbage! My own body couldn't handle my strength!'
That's why I should change my endurance and strength, not speed and strength!
'Wait a minute, I'll be right back!'
It was a failure. I only managed to take out half of Gehre's HP with my attack because my legs couldn't take it. If I'd had a good defense, my legs probably wouldn't have exploded, and Gehre's wound would have been fatal.
I would have blown his head off just like I did with the Finjicotes!
'What the hell~~' Still in pain, I hid among several rocks, used my web to protect myself, and stayed there. The two dragons probably don't know where I am. I can rest in peace.
It's a pity that by the time I go to fight them again, Gehre will probably have fully recovered.
'I confess, seeing Gehre in despair with my webs all over his face was funny.'
####
My HP was recovering slowly. I had already recovered some of it. My SP, which had also dropped a lot due to the use of edit skill was also recovering.
Although I don't use SP or MP to activate the skill, just because my body is pushed to the limit is enough to make my SP drop rapidly with any move I make.
Especially in the previous fight when I changed my strength and agility to 10,000.
'Hmm, although my HP is recovering, my legs haven't regenerated. I need to level up.'
But I don't know how to do that. Here, where I am, there aren't any monsters. Also, the dragons are nearby.
'I should just run past them and look for other monsters.'
BOOM~~
BOOM~~
'Oh, you're kidding me.' The stones around me began to sway. Heavy footsteps were coming towards me.
There were no other monsters around either. It's probably because of the dragons since they're too strong and scare the other monsters away.

Even though I heard the footsteps getting closer and closer to me, I stayed still. I shouldn't draw attention. 'If these guys find me, I'm fucked. My HP is still low. What's more, I'm still without my two front legs.'
The only thing I can do if they find me is run.
'No, I shouldn't run.'
Grrrr~~
Then, my stomach rumbled. It's a terrible time to be hungry, mainly because my stomach starts to hurt.
I could hear the sound of the two dragons breathing.
And then...
'I have to get out of here.' Even though I didn't have the skill to detect danger, I felt like I had to leave this place as quickly as possible. And that's what I did. I used my ability to cut my webs and jumped away.
I jumped as far as I could.
Then, Kagna's dragon breath hit the same place I was before. The ground and walls shook from the impact of his attack. The breath had done a lot of damage to the labyrinth wall.
Then, I felt a chill run through my whole body.
'Damn!' Gehre, who had seen me flee, "teleported" behind me. I narrowly escaped his attack, but he still hit two of my legs.
I lost two more legs. Now, I only had one leg on the right side of my body. I couldn't run properly anymore.
HP 13/56
'Damn it, damn it. Edit my defense to 20,000! Right now!' I shouted in my mind, and the edit was applied in the nick of time.
Gehre managed to bite me, but his fangs couldn't pierce my skin, and I took the opportune moment to bite him and inject my poison into his body.
When I did, Gehre roared in pain.
He had no poison resistance, so my poison took effect quickly. However, it wasn't enough to stop him. I tried to swing on my web to escape since I couldn't run properly, but it didn't work.
I'm too slow. Using my web to swing was not a functional way to escape from a dragon with over 4,000 speed.
Gehre began to unleash various attacks, mainly using his paws. He started throwing me against the walls and floor of the labyrinth, but I wasn't being hurt.
Gehre was doing it with such force that the walls and floor were cracking, but I wasn't taking any damage.
'But this can't go on forever.'
Gehre moved away from me using his dimensional ability, and Kagna decided to attack. Believing that I only had a defense against physical attacks, Kagna used his breath.
I can't dodge this attack.
I tried to run using my remaining legs, and I also tried to use my web, but I'm not fast enough. Controlling this body with only four legs, three on one side and one on the other, is challenging.
'I'll be hit directly.'
I could see Kagna's breath coming toward me, and my whole life flashed through my eyes. My life as a human and also my short life as a spider. I felt that this was going to be a fatal attack.
Then I was hit.
My vision became blank. It was as if I was looking directly at the sun. But incredibly... I don't feel any pain, even though the attack hit me directly, I don't feel any pain.
'What's that?' Then, the attack stopped
Kagna, who had hit me directly with the breath, stood there staring at me in disbelief. There I was, sitting on the ground, without a single wound(caused by the breath) on my body.
'What? I didn't die? My defense is that high? 20,000 is too much?!'
But this isn't the time to think about that.
'System, edit my offense ability to 20,000 too!' With my strength now at 20,000 and the certainty that I wouldn't be hurt, I finally put my fear aside and decided to face the two dragons head-on.
However, I noticed that they became more cautious.
Even though I was all wounded, without four legs and with my HP below 20, they were being cautious.
'I think Gehre could sense that I've gotten stronger.' Gehre was the most cautious among them. He continued to stare at me, not knowing what he should do. Gehre then looked at Kagna, and they both decided to attack.
Kagna, who wasn't fast, ran towards me. I threw my web on the ceiling and climbed up. Kagna tried to bite me, but I did a somersault in the air and fell right on top of his head. And then, with my remaining legs, I hit him.
I used all my strength.
My defense is very high now, so I don't have to worry about my legs being blown to bits after attacking him.
[ "Small Poison Taratect LV1" became "Small Poison Taratect LV2" ]
[ "Small Poison Taratect LV2" became "Small Poison Taratect LV3" ]
[ "Small Poison Taratect LV3" became "Small Poison Taratect LV4" ]
[ "Small Poison Taratect LV4" became "Small Poison Taratect LV5" ]
Kagna's head was blown.
'Ohhh! That's a lot of experience.
I felt that something was going to happen, so I decided to run away. After I got out of Kagna's body, Gehre appeared where I was before. He looked at the body of his dead friend and then looked at me.
I could feel his thirst for blood, but I wasn't afraid.
I stood up using my hind legs and started punching the air as if calling him to fight.
It was enough to make Gehre roar and instantly appear before me to use all his hatred.
'Damn, I forgot he's so much faster than me!' Again, I was hit by Gehre. From then on, it was a one-sided massacre. While I tried to defend myself, Gehre kept hitting me and throwing me against the walls of the labyrinth.
Even though I felt no pain, it wasn't a pleasant sensation.
'I think I've made him too angry.'
The only thing I can do if they find me is run.
'No, I shouldn't run.'
Grrrr~~
Then, my stomach rumbled. It's a terrible time to be hungry, mainly because my stomach starts to hurt.
I could hear the sound of the two dragons breathing.
And then...
'I have to get out of here.' Even though I didn't have the skill to detect danger, I felt like I had to leave this place as quickly as possible. And that's what I did. I used my ability to cut my webs and jumped away.
I jumped as far as I could.
Then, Kagna's dragon breath hit the same place I was before. The ground and walls shook from the impact of his attack. The breath had done a lot of damage to the labyrinth wall.
Then, I felt a chill run through my whole body.
'Damn!' Gehre, who had seen me flee, "teleported" behind me. I narrowly escaped his attack, but he still hit two of my legs.
I lost two more legs. Now, I only had one leg on the right side of my body. I couldn't run properly anymore.

I kept being thrown against the wall and floor without knowing what to do. I tried to attack Gehre, but he could avoid my attacks easily because of his speed. He's toying with me!
'Damn, I need to increase my speed! System, take out the edit I put on my strength and put it on speed.'
[ Edit applied! ]
'Great!' My speed has increased to 20,000.
Vuosh~~
I disappeared from Gehre's sight and appeared on top of his head. He couldn't react, and I bit his neck, injecting my poison into his body again.
So, I thought of a strategy.
What if I made an edit at the right moment?
Gehre hit me after I bit him, and again, I disappeared and appeared right above him. Gehre is frightened by my speed. It's so fun to watch.
'Now!'
I have less than two seconds to do it.
I asked the system to remove the edit I made to my speed and edit my strength again. As I'm already on top of Gehre, I'm sure he won't be able to avoid my attack.
[ Edit applied! ]
The editing was done faster than I expected—less than a second.
But it still wasn't enough.
With my speed back up to 400, my attack was slow, giving Gehre time to react. Fortunately, my attack still hit him.
My legs passed through his skin like blades, even though I had no claws. My defense, which makes my legs as hard as metal, made this possible.
Gehre's skin was cut, and he screamed in pain. His HP had dropped.
HP 2.745/3.556
'But there's still a lot of HP left. I don't know if I'll make it...'
Even though my SP had recovered after I leveled up, it started dropping quickly. I was already beginning to feel very tired.
'Damn, here he comes again!' Gehre teleported close to me, and I edited my speed again. Then I started to run, luring Gehre into a slightly more enclosed area.
I ran until I found a room. Gehre, who had come to attack me, was surprised by a powerful attack that hit him directly. I had edited my strength again at just the right moment.
Gehre was thrown against the wall, and I changed the edit again. My speed is now high. I began to run at high speed and wrapped Gehre's entire body with my spider web.
As he was dizzy and couldn't react, his body turned into a cocoon.
'He won't be able to move, right?"
[ "Thread Manipulation LV7" became "Thread Manipulation LV8" ]
As I imagined, Gehre had practically given up fighting. Only his head was sticking out, and I could see he was discouraged from continuing the fight. Maybe because of his friend? Even monsters like these have feelings...
'Sorry...' I approached, edited my strength and hit his head just like I did with Kagna, and when I did, I leveled up again.
[ "Small Poison Taratect LV5" became "Small Poison Taratect LV6" ]
[ "Small Poison Taratect LV6" became "Small Poison Taratect LV7" ]
'I thought I'd get to level 10 at least...' I sighed, picked up Gehre's body, and dragged it to the same place as Kagna's. Fortunately, with my strength at 20,000, it wasn't difficult.
That was quite a fun battle.
I didn't think I could change the edits in the middle of the fight. I'll continue to do that in the future.
[ "Mana Perception LV3" became "Mana Perception LV4" ]
'Why?!!'
####
With Gehre now dead, I wanted to look at the skills that had gone up in level. Honestly, there were too many. All my resistance skills went up a level, and my [ Poison Attack ] skill went up a level.
The only skill that didn't go up a level was the skill that synthesizes poison.
'Right, right, now it's time to eat.' With Kagna and Gehre's bodies stored and wrapped in my web, I began to devour Kagna's body. And it tasted a little better.
Not much better than the taste of the other monsters, but at least it's a taste that doesn't make me want to vomit.
I quickly finished eating half of Kagna's body. Only her bones remained.
'Haaaa~~ I'm satisfied. Now, what do I do? I need to level up quickly to make my next evolution, but it will take work.'
Even though I killed two dragons, my level didn't go up much, which is surprising.
'Huh? I think I heard something.' And then, while I was resting to digest some of the food I'd just eaten, I listened to some strange sounds. They were sounds that seemed to come straight from the depths of hell.
I wasn't in a large area but a room with only one exit, so there was no way for the person making these sounds to hide from me.
Everywhere I looked, I could only see rocks and also dark places... Dark places.
'Wait, what the fuck is that?' Of the darkness, a strange humanoid monster poked its head out. 'What is that? Is it a monkey?' Its empty eyes were looking straight at me.
I was paralyzed for a few seconds and instinctively edited my status. I put 10,000 on defense and 10,000 on strength.
As I did so, the strange monster in the darkness gave a strange scream and began to run away. Seeing this, I decided not to chase it, as it would be a headache.
But after the monster ran off, a few others started to appear.
'Damn, I need to increase my speed! System, take out the edit I put on my strength and put it on speed.'
[ Edit applied! ]
'Great!' My speed has increased to 20,000.

I was terrified when I saw two strange monsters appear before me. They're fish, fish with legs! These monsters are the most bizarre I've seen so far. I don't want to fight these things.

'One of them is at level one. Ah, interesting, now I can see its abilities. Poison resistance...'
I should kill these monsters. It won't give me much experience, but it's okay.
'They don't have a high defense, so I don't need to increase my strength so much.'
I raised my strength and agility to 1000 and then attacked.
I ran towards the two and attacked them with my legs, just like I did with the Finjicotes. Unfortunately, they didn't die with one hit. They are stronger than the Finjicotes.
'Also, they can throw poison.' They started spitting poison at me, but I easily avoided all their attacks and brought their HP down to zero in a few seconds. Once they were dead, I picked up their bodies and hid them.
However, the sounds of my battle began to attract other monsters.
'No, wait, it's the same monster as before.' The monkey, who was much taller than me, stood at the entrance to the room. It stood staring at me with its empty eyes. I felt a chill run through my whole body.
And then I began to hear various sounds. Lots of them. They were all the cries of monkeys.
'Damn, you're kidding me.'
Right before me, an army of monkeys was ready to attack me. The big problem is that I'm inside a small room, and there's only one way out. The exit is where they are.
'System, edit my strength and defense to 10,000.' The only thing I can do now is kill these guys.
####
Seriously, it wasn't easy at all. Everywhere I looked, rocks were being thrown in my direction. What's more, the monkeys who managed to get close were grabbing every part of my body and trying to rip me apart.
They can't do that because of my defense, but it is very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, as I had a lot of strength, I quickly managed to get free and then killed them with a sharp attack on their heads. I ended up becoming addicted to it.
I am now addicted to blowing heads off with my legs. It is an effortless task when you have a lot of strength.
'Hahaha, it's a lot of fun.'
I started dancing around the room while using all eight legs to blow the heads off my enemies. The bodies of the great apes began to fill the room. There was hardly any space left.
I gained XP because of this and reached level 9.
'It's a shame that their numbers have decreased so much.'
But now that the number of these weaker monsters has decreased, some evolutions of them have started to appear.

'Wow, it's strong. Besides, it has the same ability as Gehre.' The monkey, who was even bigger than the others, appeared behind me. However, I had already realized its intention.
I released a large amount of webbing out of my ass and obstructed its view. After that, I launched my poison attack towards its face.
Its large mouth full of sharp teeth was covered in web and poison, and the monster began to die.
'It's convenient that it has no resistance to poison.' Before it could recover, I hit it, and its head was turned into small pieces that littered the labyrinth's walls.
After that, a one-sided massacre began.
Even though one after another kept dying, the monkeys wouldn't give up.
And that's how I managed to level up again and secure my next evolution.
'Thanks, monkeys!'
####
After my massacre was over, I ate some more of Kagna's body and then left the room. The smell of blood was unpleasant, and there was hardly any room. 'The room is full of bodies! I can't live here anymore.'
Besides, the smell can attract other monsters, and I need to go to a place where no monster will find me to make my evolution. Speaking of which, something strange has happened, and a new evolution path has appaered.
Yes, I got the evolution paths that Kumoko got.
[ Poison Taractect ] [ Zoa Ele ]
'But the amazing thing is that I received a new evolution path for some reason.'
[ Urednik pajka ]
'????' I don't know what it is, it's a language I've never seen before. It's strange.
However, the description of the evolution showed me what this race is.
[ A spider that specializes in editing ]
'Yes, it's an evolution that has to do with my edit ability. But... it doesn't show anything other than that. What should I do now?'
Honestly, I don't know what to do. If I choose this path of evolution, I wonder if I'll be able to become "human" in the future.
'Wait, it's true. System, can you show me the evolution tree?'
And it appeared.
'Ah, damn...' There's a bug going on. This new path of evolution was floating outside the original evolution tree. And this new path has a LOT of evolutions.
I'll have more evolutions than Kumoko if I follow this path.
'But I don't know if I'll get a "human" body if I follow this path... I don't know what to do.'

Honestly, I don't know what to do. If I choose this path of evolution, I wonder if I'll be able to become "human" in the future.
'Wait, it's true. System, can you show me the evolution tree?'
And it appeared.
'Ah, damn...' There's a bug going on. This new path of evolution was floating outside the original evolution tree. And this new path has a LOT of evolutions.
I'll have more evolutions than Kumoko if I follow this path.
'But I don't know if I'll get a "human" body if I follow this path... I don't know what to do.'

I went to a safe place and hid in my web to see the new evolution path again. As I said, the system was bugged, and new evolution paths have appeared.
A screen showed the evolution tree, but the new path was outside this screen. In other words, it shouldn't exist, and neither should I. 'Seriously, this is a mess.'
I'm surprised D hasn't sent anyone here or done anything. She's the administrator and must have noticed me by now. There's no way she doesn't know that I'm here.
Or maybe she knows I'm here, but she thinks I'm just an ordinary monster?
No, that's impossible.
An ordinary spider wouldn't be able to kill two dragons without difficulty. I'm sure D will act at any moment. And before that, I have to evolve again and get stronger.
'If I follow Kumoko's path of evolution and evolve into Zoa Ele, I'll be strong... But will that be enough? I need more than this.'
And the system is delivering.
[ Urednik pajka ]
A new evolution. There's not even a "preview" of what I will become, like a shadow or something. It's just a question mark. 'But if the system is giving me this, I should do this evolution.'
This evolution has to do with my editing skills. I'd be an idiot not to choose this path.
'Right, I want to evolve into... this strange race!' I didn't know how to say the name. And after I chose the new evolution, I didn't lose consciousness. Yes, I stayed awake.
I could feel all the changes happening in my body.
My size increased, I could see the color of my skin changing to a dark red(almost black), sharp claws appeared on all my legs, and a small red crystal appeared on my forehead.
All this took no more than a minute. It was a rapid evolution. But that left me so amazed that it seemed to take longer.

I opened the system to look at my new Status. And to my surprise...

'What does phase 1 mean? There's no explanation about it. The only thing I can see is... that I need to level up to level 20 to reach phase 2.'
But honestly, I thought my new race would change everything. It's changed practically nothing. My HP and SP recovery skills have leveled up, and so have my basic stats... But...
My editing skill, which was supposed to increase in level... didn't. It's still at level two. However, even though my [ Editing ] skill hasn't increased in level, a new skill related to my "class" has appeared.
[ Edit+ NV1 ]
[ Edit effect will last 30% longer ]
'It's wonderful! The longer the edit duration lasts, the better!'
Before my first evolution, it was 5 minutes, then 10, then 20, and now 40 minutes. 'But the edit duration is now 52 minutes because of the 30% bonus, so that's great.'
Now that my evolution is complete, should I have some fun? I'll farm some EXP while I wait for D. I'm sure she will appear soon.
If she doesn't hurry, I'll end up killing my mother and the demon lord! Hehehe.
'No, I wouldn't do this crazy thing.'
I destroyed my house and started running using my new body. Yes, it was much better. My body is lighter, and my speed is very high.
Even without the editing skill, I won't have any problems killing the monsters around here.
And as I imagined, it was very easy.
A few Greshigard appeared, and I quickly killed them using my new claws that had been created on the tips of all my legs. I cut off their paws as if they were made of butter and then ripped off their heads.
I also encountered a group of three Randanels, but I quickly killed them, making quick movements and cutting off their heads.
And so I continued, killing and killing more monsters until an area of several square meters was clear, with no monsters at all.
And I realized something.
'I didn't level up once, even after killing several monsters.'
I chose a problematic evolution.
A screen showed the evolution tree, but the new path was outside this screen. In other words, it shouldn't exist, and neither should I. 'Seriously, this is a mess.'
I'm surprised D hasn't sent anyone here or done anything. She's the administrator and must have noticed me by now. There's no way she doesn't know that I'm here.

'Damn, I haven't leveled up once. What's more, my hunger has disappeared. I don't need to eat. It can be an effect of my new race.'
But about my appearance... Just because my skin is that color and the red crystal on my forehead glows menacingly is enough to make weaker monsters run.
But since I'm faster, it's easy to kill them.
'Since I killed the dragons, I haven't encountered strong monsters to challenge me. I haven't used my editing skills in a while...'
Speaking of which, I still need to do some tests.
I'm an idiot. Even if the skill level hasn't gone up, the fact that I've switched to a race-related to my editing skills might have made my skill evolve.
'I should look.'

[ 23:57:22 ]
'24 hours... Are you kidding me? Fuck.'
I stopped to rest again. I started thinking again about what that thing in front of my level meant.
'Phase 1...'

*Change of POV*
'Damn, what is that, what is that?! Why are there so many of them?' A small spider screamed as it desperately ran from several centipedes chasing it. 'Why so many of these monsters are here?'
The little spider was confused. It had seen many dead centipedes a while ago, so the spider didn't think there would be so many of these monsters there. It was impossible to fight that many monsters.
The spider kept running, running for a long time.
SP 25/38
'Damn, my SP is dropping!!!' The spider screamed in its mind.
'Waaaaaa!' And then, the floor suddenly disappeared. In front of the spider, a huge hole swallowed it up. The spider was falling to its death and needed to do something.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~
As the spider screamed, it threw its web, which stuck to the wall. The spider became a pendulum and was thrown against the wall with force, causing it to suffer some damage, but nothing serious.
'Haaaa~~ I'm safe. No, I'm not! I can't even see the bottom! Besides, what the fuck is that?!' The spider could see the Finjicotes' nest in the distance, which had been destroyed some time ago.
Inside the nest, there were several bodies.
'There's webs everywhere! Is it that monster?' The little spider's body began to tremble. That monster was dangerous, very dangerous. 'Maybe it's as dangerous as my mother... Or maybe it's my mother.'
Frightened, the spider began to use its web to reach the bottom.
And after a while.
'Tadaaa~~ I landed perfectly~~' The spider smiled. However, its smile soon disappeared. 'What the fuck happened here?! The spider screamed in its mind, frightened.
There were several bodies of Finjicotes all over the ground. A massacre had taken place here.
'Urgghh, all their heads have been blown.' A cruel monster had done it, a beast that the little spider didn't want to meet any time soon. 'I need to get out of here as quickly as possible.'
The spider felt it was unwittingly getting closer and closer to meeting this dangerous monster.
And being only level 3, the spider knew it would be killed easily.
'But the monsters here are all dead. There's no way I can level up.'

I kept killing monsters but soon got tired. The most tired I feel at the moment is mental.
'And even after killing so many of them and running for a long time, I don't feel hungry...'
I no longer felt hungry after my new evolution. Before, I had to eat often, and my stomach started to hurt when I didn't eat, but now...
Now, I've gone hours without eating, and nothing is happening to me.
'That's good. I don't have to eat the disgusting monsters in this place.' The problem is that since I don't have to eat them, I'm leaving the monsters' bodies lying around. It can attract more monsters.
It's not just me who needs to eat in this labyrinth. 'Well, that's no problem since the more monsters, the better.' I need more EXP.
'Speaking of monsters...' While resting peacefully, some monsters that hadn't detected my presence suddenly appeared. It's the perfect time to test a skill I've obtained.
[ Intimidation LV1 ]
'I gained this skill after scaring many monsters with my appearance and strength.'
And since it's a passive skill, I only looked at the nearby monsters. There were three Kohokoro, an armadillo that isn't very strong.
They were weak monsters and started running as soon as they saw me. I didn't go after them, though.
'Yes, it's working... I think.' Well... Before I acquired the skill, I was already terrifying these monsters...
In addition to this intimidation skill, I acquired two other new skills.
I got these two skills using my points. The first skill is [ Magic Power Operation ], and the second is [ Fire Magic ].
Yes, that's right!
As I said before, I have a dream of being able to use magic. I could already sense mana, but I couldn't use it. Now, I can do so with the skills [ Magic Power Operation ] and [ Fire Magic ].
'Should I create a fireball? A spear of fire? An explosion? A wall of fire to serve as protection?'
But... I don't know how to do that. Should I use my imagination, or is there some pre-programmed command? I don't remember very well, and the system didn't tell me anything...
I don't think this will work, but let's try to use my imagination.
'Right... Let's make the fire circulate me and then come together, creating a ball of fire.....'
Slowly, small flames began to appear, and soon, in front of me, a fireball began to be formed by particles of fire coming from everywhere. My eyes lit up with excitement.
The heat from the fireball was burning me, but I didn't care.
'That's so cool!' The fireball was red and incandescent. The glow it caused made the place I was standing in, which had previously been dark, light up. It was a mighty light.
But now, let's see the power of this magic.
'Go!'
And with my command, the fireball flew... but... at a very slow speed.
And before it could hit the wall twenty meters away, the magic disappeared.
'Is that because it's level 1? Ah, damn...'
I should keep using it to increase the level. I still can't edit it...There's still another 11 hours to go.
'Oh, and it's the first time I used my MP.'
The amount of MP spent was a little. I only spent 5 of my 250 MP to use that fireball.
'I may become a powerful wizard in the future.'
So, I created another fireball and threw it at a closer wall. The fireball crashed into the labyrinth wall, leaving a black stain. It hadn't done much damage, but that's incredible.
So, I created another fireball.
Then, I created a fire arrow.
And after that, I created a small whirlwind of fire that swallowed up small rocks.
[ "Fire Magic LV1" became "Fire Magic LV2" ]
'YEAH! LEVELED UP!
My fun with fire continued.

*Change of POV*
As the little spider continued to walk through the depths of the labyrinth, bodies and more bodies came into its view. It was a scene from a horror movie that made her body tremble. 'That monster must be nearby...'
The little spider hadn't even managed to up a single level because of the lack of monsters. Whoever the beast was that was killing these monsters, it was doing it just for fun.
'Maybe it's Mom... No, it can't be her. She wouldn't kill that many monsters and not eat them.'
And then, suddenly, the little spider's body shivered.
'Damn it, damn it!!!" She screamed internally and hid behind the rocks.
In the distance, something frightening could be seen.
A black spider... THREE times bigger. But the red crystal on the giant spider's forehead and the fireballs it was creating and throwing were what caught the little spider's attention.
The giant spider was jumping back and forth, seemingly enjoying itself.
'The aura of this spider...' The threatening aura made the little spider tremble.
'That's not one of my siblings...' The spider thought.
The spider slowly moved away.
'I have to go up. I can't stay here any longer!' The spider said confidently.
'And even after killing so many of them and running for a long time, I don't feel hungry...'
I no longer felt hungry after my new evolution. Before, I had to eat often, and my stomach started to hurt when I didn't eat, but now...
Now, I've gone hours without eating, and nothing is happening to me.

'Oh, and it's the first time I used my MP.'
The amount of MP spent was a little. I only spent 5 of my 250 MP to use that fireball.
'I may become a powerful wizard in the future.'
So, I created another fireball and threw it at a closer wall. The fireball crashed into the labyrinth wall, leaving a black stain. It hadn't done much damage, but that's incredible.
So, I created another fireball.
Then, I created a fire arrow.
And after that, I created a small whirlwind of fire that swallowed up small rocks.
[ "Fire Magic LV1" became "Fire Magic LV2" ]
'YEAH! LEVELED UP!
My fun with fire continued.
####
*Change of POV*
As the little spider continued to walk through the depths of the labyrinth, bodies and more bodies came into its view. It was a scene from a horror movie that made her body tremble. 'That monster must be nearby...'
The little spider hadn't even managed to up a single level because of the lack of monsters. Whoever the beast was that was killing these monsters, it was doing it just for fun.
'Maybe it's Mom... No, it can't be her. She wouldn't kill that many monsters and not eat them.'
And then, suddenly, the little spider's body shivered.
'Damn it, damn it!!!" She screamed internally and hid behind the rocks.
In the distance, something frightening could be seen.
A black spider... THREE times bigger. But the red crystal on the giant spider's forehead and the fireballs it was creating and throwing were what caught the little spider's attention.
The giant spider was jumping back and forth, seemingly enjoying itself.
'The aura of this spider...' The threatening aura made the little spider tremble.
'That's not one of my siblings...' The spider thought.
The spider slowly moved away.
'I have to go up. I can't stay here any longer!' The spider said confidently.

By the time I'd finished having fun with my fire magic, it had already reached level 3. 'It certainly leveled up very quickly. Maybe my race has given me a bonus that makes my skills level up faster?'
It makes sense since it's practically impossible to level up.
'Seriously, what do I do now? Should I keep killing monsters here and farming levels? Or should I leave the labyrinth?'
No, I don't think it's time yet. I want to prepare myself better first. My skills haven't reached their full potential yet. But it will take a long time to reach my full potential. I might stay here for years...
I don't want to live underground for several years. I refuse to do that.
'If I stay here for years, all the reincarnates will be adults by the time I leave!' But does that make a difference? I don't want to get involved with them anyway. The only characters I like are Kumoko and Ariel.
The others are interesting, but I don't like them enough.
Also, I want to go home.
'Huh?'
Then, I felt the presence of something. I turned around quickly and began to feel a strange energy.
'Is it a monster?' It didn't seem dangerous, so I headed where I felt the presence. But when I arrived there, I found nothing. The presence had disappeared entirely.
'Was I wrong?' The only thing around were some bodies of monsters I had killed earlier. 'Hm? But there's something strange.' Although the ground was rocky, there was some dirt... Or dust.
I could see some footsteps.
They were the footsteps of thin feet/legs, just like mine.
'Well, my legs are much thicker now. I've grown a lot, a lot more than I thought.'
But that's strange. Is it one of those dinosaur monsters? No, their feet are different. 'Then it's probably another spider. Could one of my siblings have made it to this place?'
I looked around and waited for a while but didn't hear or see anything.
'I think I'm imagining it.'
With my big body, I started to walk away. I need to gain EXP, and standing here won't do any good.
'Hm?'
####
*Change of POV*
'Even though I said I would go up, I don't know how. Damn, that sucks!' The little spider screamed in her mind. 'I must find another way.'
She thought it but remembered the giant black spider she had seen.
'Do I have to go through it?'
The spider searched for other paths but found only dead ends and some paths too narrow to follow. 'Damn it~~ I'm going to have to go through that spider~~'
The spider opened its Status and looked at the skill that could help it.
[ Stealth LV1 ]
The spider had acquired this skill not long ago, so it was still at level one.
'No, that won't work!' The spider shouted in her mind. 'I'm sure that giant spider has a lot of skills to sense me. I'll be caught as soon as I try to do anything!'
She thought for a few seconds and decided to follow where the black spider was.
When the spider got closer, it noticed that the giant spider had stopped using its fire magic and was standing still, staring at the wall.
'It seems to be thinking deeply about something... I've never seen a monster act like this. It's even gesturing with its legs!'
That spider was strange, so the little spider became even more afraid.
And then...
Badumt!
The spider's heart pounded. The black spider's eyes turned in the little spider's direction. The spider immediately clamped its mouth shut and held its breath. And then, the spider began to hear heavy footsteps.
'It's coming! It's coming!'
The spider desperately climbed the walls, hid in what little shade it could find, and stood still. It even stopped breathing.
Then, the giant spider approached. The giant spider stood still below the little spider, looking around. Fortunately, the giant spider didn't look at the ceiling.
However, just the possibility of being caught made the poor little spider tremble.
'If I'm caught, I'll be killed! I'm not strong enough to fight this thing!'
The threatening aura that the spider emitted was not normal.
'Oh! Appraisal-san!'

'What the hell? What's all this? Why can't I see the name? Is it because Appraisal-san isn't at a high enough level?'
'It also has some strange skills... What's that?'
The black spider then moved away, leaving the little spider relieved. The little spider could finally breathe again and climbed down the wall to look where the black spider was going so as not to go to the same place.
However, when the little spider that was hiding behind the stones tried to look.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT SAW ME!' The giant spider's eight crimson-red eyes stared straight at the little spider.
It makes sense since it's practically impossible to level up.
'Seriously, what do I do now? Should I keep killing monsters here and farming levels? Or should I leave the labyrinth?'
No, I don't think it's time yet. I want to prepare myself better first. My skills haven't reached their full potential yet. But it will take a long time to reach my full potential. I might stay here for years...

As I was walking away, I again noticed the presence of something behind me, but this time there was something... And it was a spider. A much smaller spider than me, it was even a bit cute.
So, I used appraisal on it. The spider was paralyzed as it looked at me.

After I saw the vast Status of this little spider in front of me, I was paralyzed for a moment and began to wonder if it was her. And then, to my surprise, the spider started to swing her front legs desperately.
'Is she trying to communicate? Kumoko?' It's her! There's no way it's not her. Look at that status... She's only level 3, but her number of skills is insane!
So I started swinging my legs, too.
I swung my big legs and tried to gesture for her to follow me.
Kumoko seemed to understand and followed me to an area with a small pile of bodies. I approached my pile of bodies, and with the sharp blades that I now had on the end of my legs, I cut the bodies.
After that, I took the blood that came out and started to write.
But... How am I going to do that?
'I was born in Canada. I can only speak English. Kumoko is Japanese... There's no way we can communicate.'
I thought about using my editing skills to modify a skill and create a language skill, but it was still on cooldown. 'Even so, I think she'll understand.'
'I am human.'
I wrote on the wall of the labyrinth.
[ I AM HUMAN ]
When I'd finished, Kumoko began to swing her legs rapidly and jump. I could see a smile on her face. She then approached me and started gesturing desperately.
But before we could continue.
Break~~
I heard the sound of something breaking, and my vision turned upside down.
I was paralyzed. I couldn't move my neck.
'What's that? Has my neck been broken? What's happened?'
As well as seeing everything upside down and unable to move, Kumoko stopped moving as if time had stopped. No, time has stopped, I'm sure.
A drop of blood that had been thrown into the air was still in the air.
"Who are you?"
Then I heard a woman's voice that made my whole body shiver. It was the voice of a young woman, but her voice had so much power that it made me want to kill myself just to get out of here as quickly as possible.
But I couldn't move.
The danger is closing in on me, and I can't move.
####
*Change of POV*
'Aah, what do I do?' Kumoko desperately started swinging her legs, trying to gesture to the spider to leave her alone. 'Leave me alone, you damn monster.'
Kumoko kept a serious expression despite being scared to death at that moment.
And then...
'It's gesticulating back!' To Kumoko's shock, the spider moved its legs just as she did, leaving Kumoko entirely at a loss as to what to do. Then she gestured back at the giant spider.
'I'm a friend. I won't hurt you.' It's not as if she could.
And then, the spider made some strange gestures and started walking away.
Kumoko followed, still afraid. She became even more scared when the giant spider slashed the bodies of some monsters with its claws like it was no big deal and then took their blood.
And with the blood, the spider wrote something on the wall.
[ I AM HUMAN ]
Kumoko was Japanese, but she understood those words. She had taken English at school before, after all.
'Are you a human like me?! I thought I was the only one being reincarnated as a disgusting animal!'
Kumoko, for some reason, felt very happy. A big smile appeared, and she started gesticulating and jumping happily towards the giant spider.
However, something strange suddenly happened.
'Are?' Kumoko's body froze for a moment. And then, suddenly, she could see the giant spider's neck being broken and its head being turned upside down. It was so sudden.
Kumoko was speechless. No, she couldn't say anything even if she tried. She was being prevented from even thinking.
Kumoko's eyes lost more and more of their sparkle. The last thing Kumoko saw before losing consciousness was an unknown woman whose face she couldn't see. The woman put her hand on the giant spider and made it disappear.
So, I used appraisal on it. The spider was paralyzed as it looked at me.

The danger was getting closer and closer, but I couldn't do anything about it. I stood still, waiting for my imminent death.
I don't even know how I'm not dead yet... My neck is broken!
But would a broken neck kill a spider?
'AND THIS IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT?! SYSTEM, PUT MY STRENGTH AT 20,000!'
I shouted at the system but was completely ignored.
I even tried to open my Status, but it wasn't working.
Then someone appeared. It was a woman I remembered very well since I had read the original work. However, I could only see part of her school uniform.
'IT'S D! She's here!'
I was expecting her, but I'm very nervous now that she's here.
"I'll ask you again, who are you?" I heard her voice again. I felt a shiver run through my whole body.
'How am I going to answer her?' I don't know what to do. But fortunately for me, she could read my mind.
"I'm listening to you. Who are you?" She asked again. She was annoyed with me. What do I do? Should I tell her the truth? Will she believe me?
No... She must believe me! How else would I end up in this place?
'Someone sent me to this place. I shouldn't be here, I know.' I answered her honestly, as I felt she could kill me at any moment. However, to my surprise...
"Answer me. Who are you?" she asked again.
?
'I told you, I came to this place by mistake. I also won the system to level up.' I answered her again, but she didn't seem to understand me, and then I saw her hand approaching my head.
When her hand touched my head, my senses returned.
And then.
!
I felt my whole body go to pieces. I could feel every part of my body separating into tiny pieces as if I were disintegrating. But I didn't feel any pain. It was like an illusion.
My body suddenly returned to normal. But I still can't move.
"Who are you?" she asked.
What the hell did she do?
"You just have to answer me. How did you end up in this place? I don't remember you, that's strange. Besides, why can't I see your Status? Why can't I change anything?"
D, who was an god, was confused. I couldn't see her expression but could tell from her tone.
'I don't know who I am.' I said. And this time, she seemed to understand me.
"You don't know who you are? What do you mean?"
'I'm telling you the truth. I don't know who I am. I don't know who you are or who that spider is either. I reincarnated in this place, and that's it!'
"Huh?"
Again, she couldn't understand me. Whenever I try to explain to her, she can't hear me! This is a nuisance! How am I going to get out of this situation? Seriously, I don't think I will get out of this alive.
'Please leave me alive!' I shouted at D. 'I promise I won't interfere in anything! I promise! '
"..."
D was silent for a while. Is she thinking about this?
"How come I can't do anything against you?" D said.
'I don't know either...' I said honestly. Am I safe?
"Ok, ok..." D turned to Kumoko and then approached her. D then made Kumoko's body float and then threw her into a portal and made her disappear. "You, I'll keep an eye on you for now."
'Are you going to let me go?'
"I still don't know what's going on. I can't do anything against you. Nothing works."
'You tried to kill me before, didn't you?'
"Yes. But your body regenerated." D was now talking casually to me. She even let out a sigh and put her hands on her waist.
'What are you going to do?'
"As I said, I'm going to watch you. Don't contact her again."
'Yes, I understand! If I don't get involved with her, I won't have to see you again. I accept your condition!'
"You'll see me again, I'm sure of it. Whoever sent you to this place... I'll find them."
'...' I felt a shiver run through my body. She really will kill me one day. But what does she mean by "the person who sent me to this place"? Is there someone who did this?
Is it an administrator?
A God?
It can only be a God! But what kind of God sent me to this place?
"Right, now I'm going. Remember, don't contact her again. Ah, I think I can make it harder for that to happen. I'll send you out. Just disappear after that."
'Out? You mean out of the labyrinth?'
"That's right."
'But if I go out now, I'll be killed! Haven't you noticed that I'm a giant spider? '
"That's not my problem."
Since I couldn't move, I could only watch as D created a portal to send me out of the labyrinth. Then, before I even blinked, my vision had changed.
In front of me was a large forest.
"I hope you enjoy yourself." And then she disappeared.
And when D disappeared from my sight, I could move again.
'I'm fucked!' I screamed in my mind.
There's no way I can stay alive now. No, I can't doubt my skills. I'm sure everything will be fine. I still have my editing skills. You haven't changed anything on my status, have you?!

"I'm listening to you. Who are you?" She asked again. She was annoyed with me. What do I do? Should I tell her the truth? Will she believe me?
No... She must believe me! How else would I end up in this place?
'Someone sent me to this place. I shouldn't be here, I know.' I answered her honestly, as I felt she could kill me at any moment. However, to my surprise...
"Answer me. Who are you?" she asked again.
?
'I told you, I came to this place by mistake. I also won the system to level up.' I answered her again, but she didn't seem to understand me, and then I saw her hand approaching my head.
When her hand touched my head, my senses returned.
And then.
!
I felt my whole body go to pieces. I could feel every part of my body separating into tiny pieces as if I were disintegrating. But I didn't feel any pain. It was like an illusion.
My body suddenly returned to normal. But I still can't move.
"Who are you?" she asked.
What the hell did she do?
"You just have to answer me. How did you end up in this place? I don't remember you, that's strange. Besides, why can't I see your Status? Why can't I change anything?"
D, who was an god, was confused. I couldn't see her expression but could tell from her tone.
'I don't know who I am.' I said. And this time, she seemed to understand me.
"You don't know who you are? What do you mean?"
'I'm telling you the truth. I don't know who I am. I don't know who you are or who that spider is either. I reincarnated in this place, and that's it!'
"Huh?"
Again, she couldn't understand me. Whenever I try to explain to her, she can't hear me! This is a nuisance! How am I going to get out of this situation? Seriously, I don't think I will get out of this alive.
'Please leave me alive!' I shouted at D. 'I promise I won't interfere in anything! I promise! '
"..."
D was silent for a while. Is she thinking about this?
"How come I can't do anything against you?" D said.
'I don't know either...' I said honestly. Am I safe?
"Ok, ok..." D turned to Kumoko and then approached her. D then made Kumoko's body float and then threw her into a portal and made her disappear. "You, I'll keep an eye on you for now."
'Are you going to let me go?'
"I still don't know what's going on. I can't do anything against you. Nothing works."
'You tried to kill me before, didn't you?'
"Yes. But your body regenerated." D was now talking casually to me. She even let out a sigh and put her hands on her waist.
'What are you going to do?'
"As I said, I'm going to watch you. Don't contact her again."
'Yes, I understand! If I don't get involved with her, I won't have to see you again. I accept your condition!'
"You'll see me again, I'm sure of it. Whoever sent you to this place... I'll find them."
'...' I felt a shiver run through my body. She really will kill me one day. But what does she mean by "the person who sent me to this place"? Is there someone who did this?
Is it an administrator?
A God?
It can only be a God! But what kind of God sent me to this place?
"Right, now I'm going. Remember, don't contact her again. Ah, I think I can make it harder for that to happen. I'll send you out. Just disappear after that."
'Out? You mean out of the labyrinth?'
"That's right."
'But if I go out now, I'll be killed! Haven't you noticed that I'm a giant spider? '
"That's not my problem."
Since I couldn't move, I could only watch as D created a portal to send me out of the labyrinth. Then, before I even blinked, my vision had changed.
In front of me was a large forest.
"I hope you enjoy yourself." And then she disappeared.
And when D disappeared from my sight, I could move again.
'I'm fucked!' I screamed in my mind.
There's no way I can stay alive now. No, I can't doubt my skills. I'm sure everything will be fine. I still have my editing skills. You haven't changed anything on my status, have you?!

*Change of POV*
'Huh? What happened?' Kumoko opened her eyes and found herself in a different place. It was no longer in the same spot as before, and the giant black spider had disappeared.
Kumoko looked around for the giant spider but found no one.
'I remember this place. Isn't this the same place I was born? It's not a good idea to stay here.' Kumoko could see many broken spider eggs.
She had gone back to the beginning.
Kumoko quickly ran and hid again.
'At least I'm back up!' The spider smiled and celebrated. 'But I wish I'd stayed with that giant spider for a while. That spider was one of my classmates? No, I don't think so. If it were one of my colleagues, it wouldn't have been written in English.'
Kumoko was confused and didn't know who that person was, but she wished she'd stayed with her longer and tried to communicate more.
'But who was that woman?' Kumoko remembers a woman with not very long hair. After the woman appeared, she touched the giant spider, and the spider disappeared. After, kumoko lost consciousness.
'Did the giant spider die?' Kumoko was in shock for a few seconds. 'That might have happened! That woman was dangerous! But why did she come after us?'
Kumoko didn't understand why that mysterious woman had killed the giant spider and then teleported it back to the beginning again.
'Maybe that woman didn't want us to meet? Haaaa~~ I guess whatever. Let's move on and kill some monsters. After seeing that giant spider, I'm excited to continue leveling up.'
Kumoko returned to her exploration.
'But what was that evolution? Is that spider one of my siblings? Well, if it's dead, I'll never find out~~'
####
*Change of POV*
A few minutes have passed since I was teleported out of the labyrinth. Seeing the sun for the first time after a long time was nice, but I couldn't calm down. I could be found and killed at any moment.
Even if I have my editing ability, I feel like I could be killed!
'Speaking of which, D didn't manage to mess with my status and didn't manage to kill me, but her presence did interfere with the system.'
When she appeared before me, I couldn't open my status or make any edits. Her presence is too powerful.
But...It doesn't make sense.
If she can't mess with my status or kill me, doesn't that mean my system is more powerful than her authority? Her presence should not interfere with my system functionality.
'Well, I don't understand.'
I continued walking among the trees and didn't encounter any enemies. I wanted to find a safe place until my ability to edit skills returned. Once that happened, I would return to the labyrinth.
Yes, I made that decision.
Just thinking for a few minutes was enough to make that decision.
I've said it many times, but... I shouldn't leave the labyrinth now. I don't have a human appearance. I'm a monster. I'm an enemy of humanity. I can't stay outside here without a human body.
Besides, leveling up here won't work.
Unless I kill the demon lord and her subordinates... But I don't want to do that. I don't feel like killing the demon lord. She's a character I like.
'Right, everything's fine here.'
After walking for a long time, I found a cave. It wasn't a big cave, but enough to hide in. I used my claws to cut down some trees and block the entrance.
Inside, I lay down and stayed there, waiting for time to pass.
'I hope it all works out...'
After returning to the labyrinth, I'll avoid contact with Kumoko.
At least, while I can't do anything about D.
####
My ability to edit skills had finally returned, and I finally made the edit I wanted. I decided to turn the skill [ Acid Resistance LV6 ] into a skill called [ Dimensional Maneuvering ].
I set it to level 10.
From what I remember, if I'm near the labyrinth, I can move there with just one move. The big problem is that it consumes SP, and I wonder if I have enough SP. But I will know when I try it out.
And then.
'Hop!'
With the use of the skill, my vision changed. It had worked. However, I went to the labyrinth's surface where I was born.
'I teleported here because it was probably closer. But it makes no difference. I can use the skill again. The skill used less SP than I thought it would.'
I used 50 to get this far, and now I have 163 SP left. What's more, my SP has already started to recover.
'And now that I'm here, I can return to where I was before. I'll only be able to level up down there. There are only weak monsters up here.'
So, with the skill, I moved again, this time appearing in the same place I was when I met Kumoko. There, what I had written in blood was still on the wall.
But Kumoko had disappeared.
'I wonder where she sent Kumoko...'
Well, we won't be seeing each other anytime soon... I guess.

At the bottom of the labyrinth again, I started to kill all the monsters that appeared before me. I don't know how much time has passed, but it was almost three hours, and I hadn't gone up a single level.
I even killed some evolved species, but it was no use. Honestly, I'm losing hope. How will I get to level 20 to unlock phase 2? It's impossible to get to level 20!
I don't think I'll reach level 20 even if I kill ten dragons at Araba's level. That's ridiculous.
'Haaa~~ Seriously, whoever created my system is crazy.' I crossed my legs and sat down on the labyrinth floor to rest. Then, I looked at the cooldown to see how much time had passed.
[ 19:56:20 ]
'It has been over three hours...'
I looked around and let out another long sigh. I'm starting to feel lonely. I had finally met up with Kumoko and would start adventuring with her. How sad~~
Honestly, I love the character. Adventuring with her would be like a dream come true.
'But now that I know D doesn't want me to talk with her, I can do nothing.' I'll have to find a new friend or something.... But there's no way to find a friend in a place like this, is there?
'Right, let's stop resting and continue farming EXP.'
I started running aimlessly, searching for monsters to kill. And luckily for me, I found yet another monster nest so I could farm EXP.
I don't know if I can call it a nest, but it had many monkeys.
'I don't have friends, but at least I can have fun killing these monsters.'
I ran towards them, and with my blades on the tips of my legs, I started chopping off arms, legs, and heads.
The number of monkeys exceeded 40, but no matter how hard they tried to hurt me, they couldn't because, just in case, I raised my defense to 10,000. 'Increasing my attack isn't necessary.'
I continued to cut. Pieces of bodies were thrown into the air, along with the blood that was wetting my own body and also the ground.
'AHAHAHAHA.' As I watched the monkeys have their bodies cut in half, and the fear and despair begin to take hold of them, I started to laugh. And then, finally.

'FINALLY! AND THE EDITING SKILL HAS GONE UP A LEVEL TOO!'
I shouted in my mind as I swung my two front legs and cut one of the monkeys into an "X" shape. It was honestly a pleasant sight.
With the massacre over, I finally decided to eat something even though I wasn't feeling hungry. And then, when I bit into one of the monkeys' bodies, I was surprised.
[Anogratch LV5 ]
[Status: Dead]
[ Do you want to edit the Status of this body? ]
'Huh?' I looked at that message, confused. What do you mean? Is it because the [ Editing ] skill has reached level 3?'
Since the system gave me the option, I decided to edit the monster's Status to "Alive," even if it was only half a body. And when I did, I was startled.
The half-body of the monkey in front of me started to move. I had split it in half vertically during my massacre. Its eye was looking straight at me, and its arm was moving.
'IT'S ALIVE EVEN THOUGH HALF ITS BODY IS MISSING!'
I stepped back and used Appraisal on the monster.

'What should I do with it?' So, I decided to test something. I took the half of another body and put it next to the half that was alive.
The half of the body that was alive started to move using its unique arm and approached the half of the body I put there.
Then, the two parts began to come together in front of me. I was able to observe each stage of the regeneration. Frankly, it's not a pleasant sight. I could see the blood, organs, and everything coming together.
And when the two halves came together, the monster stood before me.

I want my way to the Middle of the labyrinth. I can't use the "teleportation" ability to get there since I've never been there. I can only go where I've already been.
'You! You're going to map the labyrinth. Find the way to the Middle!'
At my command, the monkey ran away.

But before that, let's look at everything that's changed.
First of all, my editing skill have reached level 3. As well as releasing this new feature of reviving monsters and making them my familiars, something else has changed.
I can now edit 3 of my statuses at the same time.
Unfortunately, the number of skills I can edit is still at 1. This probably has to do with my evolution and level, not the editing skill level.
But I could be wrong.
Now the skill [ Edit+ LV2 ]
Instead of increasing the duration by 30%, it now increases it by 40%, which is an excellent increase.
'But apart from that, nothing very significant has changed.' Let's look at the new feature that allows me to create familiars. I already understood how it works, but I want to understand the limits of this ability.
When I asked the system, it answered all my questions.
Here:
The skill can be used on as many monsters as I want. There's no limit. But they will all be reborn with 10 HP, regardless of the monster or level.
And about the number of edits I can make to each familiar.
I can edit three different statuses of each familiar simultaneously, but the maximum I can put on each status is 30 points. It's not like when I edit my status, and I can put any value I want.
In short.
My familiars are useless in battle for now, and I'll have to do all the work.
And about the duration of the edit on my familiars:
To my surprise, the duration of the edits I made on my familiars was longer than the duration of the edits I made on myself. Any edit I make to my Status lasts 56 minutes, but the edits I make to my familiars last 24 hours.
The [ Edit+ ] skill doesn't apply to familiars. The limit is only 24 hours.
'Oh, and the most important detail, apparently the monsters my familiars kill give me XP. In other words, the system knows I can't level up that easily and has given me this ability to help me...'
And, of course, I already knew how to use this skill... But I'll leave that for later.
Now, let's do what I was going to do before.
'Come on, wake up my children, wake up.'
I used my skill on ten more monkeys and then edited everyone's HP, MP, and SP to 30. Now, with an army of 10 of them in front of me, I gave the same order to everyone.
'Find the Middle!'
And then, all the monkeys started running.
'Haaaaa~~ Now I just have to relax and wait. No, I can't relax. If I don't test the idea I had, I might end up forgetting about it!'
Let's go to the surface of the labyrinth again!
####
When I reached the first "floor," I scanned the surroundings and soon realized someone had recently passed this way. I could smell burning wood or something. 'Probably torches.'
Humans passed this way not long ago.
I have to do this quickly; if I take too long, I might have to face the humans. And if I face them, I'll probably have to kill them. I've never killed humans before.
It can't be a good experience.
'All right, let's go monster hunting.'
The number of monsters here was relatively high, so it was easy to kill many of them.
Most of them were [ Elroe Frog ] and [ Elroe Basilisk ], but there were also 3 [ Elroe Randanel ]. In all, I managed to collect 15 monsters. To make my plan work, I made a clean cut when I killed them.
With my claws, I took off their heads.
'Right, let's put them all here.'
As soon as I touched the first body of an [ Elroe Frog ], the message I'd been waiting for appeared.
[ Elroe Frog LV4 ]
[ Status: Dead ]
So I changed its Status to alive and then put its head back on. I did this with all the monsters and assembled an army of 15 of them in front of me. They were all monsters of different races, but they had one goal in common.
Give me EXP!
'I didn't increase the monkeys' offensive ability before because it wasn't necessary, but it is needed here.'
Let's see. They don't need MP because they don't use magic skills. They don't even have skills. So let's do this.
'Set their SP, strength, and agility to 30. HP is already at 10, so I don't need to edit it. Will they die quickly? Probably, but I will make a huge army.'
So it was finished.
15 monsters were lined up before me, all with 10 HP, 30 SP, 30 strength, and 30 agility.
'Listen to me! Go after monsters that are weaker than you! There must be a lot of them out there. Kill as many monsters as you can!'
Even if I don't get much XP per kill, I'm sure the number of monsters an army can kill will be enough to level me up. As my skill level goes up, the stronger my army will become.
I would like to know what it will be like when I can edit the Status of my entire army to 500 or even 1000. Wouldn't that be absurd?
'Go!' I shouted to my army, however, just as they were getting ready to go out and do their hunting.
"It's here! It's the spider I said I saw! I told you I wasn't going mad!"
I heard a man's voice.
When I turned around, I saw an army of a few men. There were 15 of them. They were all wearing armor. Most of them were using swords, but two were using spears.
'Are you serious?'
The monsters that I had just "created" hid behind me. They've realized that they're weaker than humans.
'I didn't want to get involved with you guys... I said I didn't want to kill humans.'
But now that we've reached this point... *Smile*

First of all, my editing skill have reached level 3. As well as releasing this new feature of reviving monsters and making them my familiars, something else has changed.
I can now edit 3 of my statuses at the same time.
Unfortunately, the number of skills I can edit is still at 1. This probably has to do with my evolution and level, not the editing skill level.
But I could be wrong.
Now the skill [ Edit+ LV2 ]
Instead of increasing the duration by 30%, it now increases it by 40%, which is an excellent increase.
'But apart from that, nothing very significant has changed.' Let's look at the new feature that allows me to create familiars. I already understood how it works, but I want to understand the limits of this ability.
When I asked the system, it answered all my questions.
Here:
The skill can be used on as many monsters as I want. There's no limit. But they will all be reborn with 10 HP, regardless of the monster or level.
And about the number of edits I can make to each familiar.
I can edit three different statuses of each familiar simultaneously, but the maximum I can put on each status is 30 points. It's not like when I edit my status, and I can put any value I want.
In short.
My familiars are useless in battle for now, and I'll have to do all the work.
And about the duration of the edit on my familiars:
To my surprise, the duration of the edits I made on my familiars was longer than the duration of the edits I made on myself. Any edit I make to my Status lasts 56 minutes, but the edits I make to my familiars last 24 hours.
The [ Edit+ ] skill doesn't apply to familiars. The limit is only 24 hours.
'Oh, and the most important detail, apparently the monsters my familiars kill give me XP. In other words, the system knows I can't level up that easily and has given me this ability to help me...'
And, of course, I already knew how to use this skill... But I'll leave that for later.
Now, let's do what I was going to do before.
'Come on, wake up my children, wake up.'
I used my skill on ten more monkeys and then edited everyone's HP, MP, and SP to 30. Now, with an army of 10 of them in front of me, I gave the same order to everyone.
'Find the Middle!'
And then, all the monkeys started running.
'Haaaaa~~ Now I just have to relax and wait. No, I can't relax. If I don't test the idea I had, I might end up forgetting about it!'
Let's go to the surface of the labyrinth again!
####
When I reached the first "floor," I scanned the surroundings and soon realized someone had recently passed this way. I could smell burning wood or something. 'Probably torches.'
Humans passed this way not long ago.
I have to do this quickly; if I take too long, I might have to face the humans. And if I face them, I'll probably have to kill them. I've never killed humans before.
It can't be a good experience.
'All right, let's go monster hunting.'

The humans in front of me were already trembling. My [ Intimidation ] skill had reached level 2, so its effect is better now. But honestly, I don't need this skill to terrify them.
My size is bizarre.
Now that I'm in front of a human, I know exactly how big I am. I'm about two and a half or even three meters.
"Don't be afraid. If this spider is up here, I'm sure it's not very strong!" The man who seemed to be the leader shouted. He was more muscular than the others, and his armor had a higher quality.
His big beard had white spots. He's old.
"Sir, it looks like this spider is controlling those monsters!"
"This spider is not controlling these monsters. The monsters are afraid, that's all." The man said. "Prepare your swords. Mages, prepare your spells!"
'Mages?'
As soon as the man shouted, I disappeared, appearing behind the group of men.
'Hello.' I said in my mind. Without thinking, I stuck one of my legs into the back of one of the men. He's using a staff. He's a mage!
My claw went through the man's body. The tip of my leg came out of his chest, and I could see a piece of an organ there.
'Urgh, disgusting.'
I could feel the heat of the inside of the man's body. I then pulled my leg out, and he collapsed, already dead.
"It's behind! Be careful!" The leader shouted.
I then hit the second mage with my claw, cutting off half his head and causing his brain to fly into the air.
"AAAAAH!!! DAMN IT, WHAT'S HAPPENING!"
"LEADER, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?"
"KEEP ATTACKING!" The leader shouted.
The men continued to swing their swords, but I was repelling their attacks with my claws. They were slow, very slow. It was as if they were in slow motion.
I could see the hope fading from the men's faces as their companions continued to die.
And incredibly, I'm not feeling bad.
I had pierced their bodies, torn off their limbs. I even tasted their blood because it flew into my mouth. But I didn't feel anything about it. It was even a bit amusing.
"Argh, that hurts!" A man shouted after his arm was ripped off.
"Andrew!" Another man shouted after seeing his friend have his throat slit by the tip of my claw.
It is fun because I can understand them. I can feel the anguish in their words every time a new person dies. And for some reason, this is making me a little happy.
Is it happiness... or satisfaction?
But I'm sure a smile is on my face right now.
"You monster, go away!" The leader shouted as he hid behind his last two men. I could see tears in the men's eyes. I continued to walk slowly towards them.
'It's fun! I think he's peed himself.' I saw a liquid falling to the ground through the leader's armor. The man pissed himself because of the fear he's feeling.
'Right~~'
With my front legs, I pierced the chest of the two men who were protecting the leader. I hit them with my claws and, at the same time, threw myself on top of them, pressing them to the ground. My claws went through their bodies and pierced the hard rock.
The leader then fell backward. I gazed at him with my probably terrifying eyes, and the man started screaming.
"PLEASE! NO, PLEASE!" He raised his sword.
I removed my claws from the bodies of his friends and walked closer to the man. The smell of urine reached my nose.
'Disgusting.' I said before biting the man's head. I managed to rip half of his head off with my teeth. The man's body immediately lost its strength, and the sword he was holding fell to the ground.
'Hmmm... It tastes better than the monsters that live in this labyrinth...' However, I don't want to eat it.
I'll not feel good eating human flesh...And I'm not hungry.
'Right, what do I do with it?'
I looked down the "corridor". Bodies were lying everywhere.
'I should leave these bodies here. It won't make any difference if I take them out or not. Other monsters will probably eat them later.'
Right, let's continue my plan to level up~~
'Wait...'

'Yes, that's it!'
Human LV10
Tody Russel
[ Status: Dead ]
'Oh! What a strange name, Tody Russel. It's quite a different name... But that doesn't matter. Change his Status to Alive.'
And then the magic happened.
But there is a problem... I'd eaten a part of his head... And... it's not regenerating.
'That's a bit grotesque.'

'OOOHH!!! HE HAS A SKILL!' Does that mean it depends on who I revive?' Do the other humans come with skills?
Let's see, I had counted wrong... There's a total of 17 bodies here.
There were three mages.
'Right, let's revive everyone.'
Recovering the right parts of their bodies wasn't easy. When I'd finished, some of them had slightly disproportionate bodies... But it's functional. And about their Status, they all came with skills, except the mages, unfortunately.
Maybe it's because they're low-level mages? I don't know.
'All right, I'll put the same status I put on the monsters.'
Once done, I put the 17 humans and 15 monsters together.
'Humans and monsters working together, what a nice time to be alive!'

With my army of 32 members, I'm ready to start leveling up. So, I finally gave the order: 'Start hunting the weak monsters, kill them all, and give me experience!'
I raised my front legs as if I were giving a battle shout.
My army raised their arms/paws and spread out through the labyrinth. 'They grow up so fast...' A tear trickled down one of my eight eyes as I watched my children walk away.
'Cof, cof~~ Let's go down. I shouldn't stay here too long, or other humans might appear.'
So I used the ability to teleport, and when I got there, some monkeys were waiting for me. There were two of them. I noticed that they had both lost a bit of HP.

'Right, right, what are you guys doing here? Don't tell me you two have already found your way to the middle of the labyrinth?' My eight eyes began to sparkle at the possibility. But that wasn't it.
They shook their heads in denial. It's good that they can understand me so well~~
'So what happened? Did you two happen to meet a monster that made you return here?'
They nodded.
'A powerful monster?'
They nodded again.
'I see, I see~~ That's good. Take me there!' If a strong monster is waiting for me, I should go there to meet it. I need to level up so it's obvious that I want to kill it.
Could it be Araba?
'He's not the strongest monster in this labyrinth, but Araba is powerful.'
Before I go, I'm going to do a preparation. I'm going to make some edits to my Status... No, I don't need to do this now. Let's leave it until the time is right because the edit might disappear before I get there.
But even if it does, I can edit it again since I don't have a restriction.
'But...' I looked at the two monkeys, and they tilted their heads. 'Even If I edit my Status, I won't be able to get there quickly. I can't run... I have to follow these guys.'
I let out a long sigh.
'Right, let's get going.'
The monkeys happily started walking, but before we could continue, a system notification arrived.
[ "Urednik pajka LV3" became "Urednik pajka LV4" ]
'WHAT?
I was startled. It was so sudden.
'Have they killed that many monsters? Or was I close to leveling up?'
I'd forgotten!!!! Humans give a lot of EXP. The difference is frightening. But it's scary... Since I need a lot of EXP to level up.
It's like the system is telling me. "You need to kill humans if you want to level up quickly."
'Well, whatever. Let's move on, children.'
####
*Change of POV*
A girl with black hair sipped an iced tea on a comfortable sofa. From there, she watched a giant black spider making a mess.
'This spider is fascinating. I was worried before, but it's so much fun to watch.' The woman thought.
She had just seen the spider turn several monkeys into "zombies" and use them to map out the labyrinth. After that, she saw the giant spider turn monsters and humans into "zombies" to kill monsters and level up.
It was something she had never seen, and it intrigued her.
The woman would leave the giant spider alone if he didn't get involved with Kumoko.
"But he returned to the labyrinth... They might meet again. I don't know if I should interfere next time." The woman sipped her tea, and a smile appeared on her face. "What will he do now?"
Watching that giant black spider evolve with a system she didn't know became excellent entertainment for her.
####
I followed the monkeys for a long time. I even had to go through some very narrow paths. After walking for a long time, I finally saw the monster.
'How come you two weren't killed?' That was the first thing I thought.
In the distance, I could see a giant purple snake. It seemed to be resting after having a large meal. It was beautiful, although terrifying.
The monkeys who were with me hid behind me.
I turned to them to ask again how that thing hadn't killed them. They started gesticulating strangely to try to explain how everything had happened.
I only partially understood.
They had encountered the snake while it was finishing a meal. The snake saw them and then hit a nearby wall to scare them away. They lost HP because stones hit them.
That's it.
When I asked if that was it, the monkeys confirmed it.
'I'm getting good at reading people... Or monsters.'
Right, but what should I do? I can't see its Status from here, but as far as I can remember, the name is [ Elroe Baraggish ].
From what I remember, it can cast a deadly poison, a paralyzing poison, and also acid. It's a troublesome monster.
'I have resistance against all this, but my resistance level is not high.'
But this snake is on the same level as the dragons I've faced before, so if I put 20,000 on each Status, I shouldn't have a problem.
'System, set my defense, speed, and strength to 20,000.' With my command, the edit was applied.
Right, let's kill you quickly.

'My SP has started to decrease faster than before.'
It was at 310 when I arrived, but after editing and taking a few steps, my SP is down to 290. Something strange is happening. It's as if my body can't take all this. 'System, shouldn't I be stronger now I'm a new evolution?'
Earlier, I had edited my strength and defense to 20,000, but my body didn't feel that heavy.
'It could be because I edited three stats to 20,000 simultaneously. Before, I had only edited two Satus to 20,000.'
Well, anyway, I've got enough time to kill this thing. Let's get closer and have a look. 'Appraisal, do your job.'

'My God, this status is huge. This thing also has magical abilities and cutting and piercing resistance.'
But with 20,000 strength, defense, and speed, I won't have any problems... Right?
I don't want to waste time. I quickly flew towards the snake with all my speed. I approached it in an instant. My large, heavy body appeared where the snake's head was.
It was sleeping peacefully and didn't notice my claw going towards its head to split it vertically.
However, I was wrong.
Vuosh~~
With a movement almost as fast as mine, the snake avoided my attack, and before I knew it, its tail was already moving towards me to hit me. 'That's a dangerous attack!'
I knew this attack. This thing has a lot of power! If it hits me directly, I'll take a bit of damage.
I created a shield using my legs and was hit. I felt a strong impact on my body and flew away at full speed. In less than two seconds, I hit the wall away from me.
I felt an impact on my back after hitting the wall, but I felt no pain.
HP 345/350
'Damn!'
Then, the snake appeared in front of me and spit its venom. At the same time as it tried to hit me with its venom, it tried to bite me, but I managed to avoid its mouth easily. But... Its poison hit me lightly.
My poison resistance skill was working, and I wasn't losing HP.
'Why don't I seem to have 20,000 speed?!!!!!!!'
I didn't have time to rest. The snake's tail came towards me again, but this time, I jumped and managed to avoid its attack. I was practically flying. Everything seemed to be in slow motion.
'What do I do? Should I focus on its head?'
I didn't know what else to do, so I used my fire magic to create one fireball after another.
The snake began to move around the room while avoiding my fireballs and then lunged towards me. Its sharp teeth were in front of me before I knew it, but I avoided them again.
Then, I threw my web towards the ceiling and swung across the room.
I landed on the floor and stared at the snake.
'I can't hit this thing even though my speed is 20,000. Something strange is happening.'
Even though this battle lasted only a few seconds, my SP had dropped a lot.
190/350
Honestly, fuck it.
'I'm going to kill you no matter what!'

*Change of POV*
Kumoko had just reached level five when she was suddenly surprised by something.
'Humans!'
However, the humans who appeared were strange. Kumoko noticed that one of them was missing one of his arms, and one was missing part of his head. 'Are they zombies or what?!'
Kumoko got scared and hid.
But to Kumoko's relief, the humans had already seen her and realized she was stronger than them. Walking like zombies, the men turned and left in search of weak monsters.
'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!' Kumoko shouted.

I stared at the snake for a few more seconds and advanced towards it. I hit it this time, but my attack did less damage than I had hoped. The snake managed to avoid the attack hitting its head, so I hit its body.
But even though I hit its body, the damage wasn't significant.
A relatively deep cut had appeared, but the snake's HP had hardly decreased, and it was already starting to regenerate HP.
HP 3.654/3.994
'Damn, can I poison it?' I avoided going for its head and went straight for the snake's tail. Then I bit with all my might and pierced its skin.
My fangs invaded its body, and my poison was injected.
The snake, which didn't seem to care much about the poison, attacked me but missed the attack and hit the rocks. 'I don't know if it had any effect, but it must be working.'
SP 120/350
'But my SP is running out. I have to finish this.' I started running and biting the snake on various parts of its body. I'm causing damage.
Even though its defense is high, it's not enough to stop me.
However, I'm running out of time.
80/350
My SP was reaching a critical state and didn't look like the snake would give up so easily. Its HP was still above 1,000 even though its body was all wounded. That's hell.
Honestly, DIE SOON, YOU FUCKING SNAKE!
Losing my mind, I faced the snake head-on and started swinging my eight legs, trying to hit it however I could. I didn't know how to devise a strategy that would work... I will use brute force!
'DIE, DIE, DIE!' I made several deep cuts on the snake's body, including its face. Its left eye is destroyed.
SP 20/350
Damn!
My body was too heavy. I was getting very close to my limit. If my SP reaches zero, I'm going to die.
And then, as the snake came towards me, taking advantage of my tiredness, I saw a stone flying towards it, hitting the snake directly in the right eye. Although it wasn't a strong attack, the snake felt it.
I looked over and saw the two monkeys holding stones in their hands.
'My children...' My eight eyes filled with tears.
They continued throwing stones and encouraged me to continue my attacks. I continued to slash and slash until its HP, which was already below 1,000, began to drop rapidly.
And then...
BOOM~~
The snake's tail swung violently, heading straight for my two little monkeys. Their bodies, which didn't have much defense, were pressed against the wall by the snake. They died.
The snake was almost blind, but it was still able to kill them.
And that was the reason for my fit of rage. I'll make this snake suffer.
SP 10/350
I cut its mouth, making it squirm in pain, and then I moved closer.
Now...
'Fireball. Fireball. Fireball.' I began to throw several fireballs into its mouth, causing the snake to be cooked from the inside out as it agonized in pain. 'That's for killing my little monkeys!'
I screamed in my mind as my MP was quickly drained, along with the snake's HP.
[ "Fire Magic LV3" became "Fire Magic LV4" ]
And then.
BOOM~~
The snake's large body collapsed. It's dead.
And me? I'm almost dead.
SP 2/350
Although my HP is almost full, my SP is at its limit. I immediately deactivated the editing skill and completely lost the strength in my body. As I didn't level up, I didn't recover.
'Damn...' Then, I lost consciousness next to the snake's body.
####
When I woke up, my body felt heavy. I couldn't even walk properly. I opened my Status to take a look at my situation.
SP 30/350
It's still too low.
'I should find somewhere to rest...' I started to walk and went over to the monkeys. When I touched them, the message to change the Status of their bodies didn't appear. 'So I can only use their body once?
That sucks, I wanted to revive them. They helped me find this treasure.
I approached the snake again and touched it.
Elroe Baraggish LV25
[ Status: Dead ]
'Change Status to alive.'
At my command, the snake's Status changed to alive. When it stood before me, I had to look up because of its size.
'It would be so nice if it continued with its skills...'
Hm? Wait, it kept some skills!
To my surprise, the snake had kept the skills [ Deadly Poison Attack LV10] and [ Stealth LV10 ]. They're excellent skills, that's great. All right, let's do the editing.
"Edit its SP to 30, attack to 30, and defense to 30.' It doesn't need speed. I want the snake to use its Stealth skill to get close to monsters and kill them. However, in this place, it will be difficult.
With only 10 HP, this snake will die with just one attack, even if its defense is 30.
'But I can't leave the snake here. I have to use its body somehow. You, come with me.'
We returned to the same place where I had met Kumoko. This place had already become my temporary "base." I'll stay here for a while longer.
'Right, you're staying here for now. I'll keep you here until I can increase your Status more.'
If I left its body to rot where I killed it, I might not be able to revive it afterwards. So it was good to revive it and bring it here. The problem is whether this snake will stay alive until my ability levels up.
'Well, I'll do my best to protect it.'

Now, I should wait for the other monkeys to return. I hope they all return okay with the information I'm seeking. 'But just to make sure I find the middle of the labyrinth...'
I should get more monsters.
And that's what I did.
I went after monsters and got several of them, 20 in total. Most were monkeys; the number of these guys is frightening; they seem to be everywhere and always hang out in groups.
'Right, find the middle of the labyrinth.' The various monsters left, and I returned to the snake side.
After that, I opened my system.
'What about buying one of the Seven Deadly Sins skills? Do I have enough points?'
I searched for the skills and found them. To my surprise, they weren't that expensive, each costing 1,000 points. But... I don't have 1,000 points. I need to level up a few more times.
'Leveling up slowly is bad because of that. I need more points to buy skills.'
Anyway, the cooldown will end soon so I can edit another skill. I will take one of the Seven Deadly Sins skills when the cooldown ends. I want to see what happens.
'The big problem is that I won't be able to keep the Seven Deadly Sins skills without buying it...' The skill will probably disappear when I deactivate the editing to edit another skill.
But I'll probably get the titles related to the skills... That may make the skills not disappear.
I'll know when the time comes.
Now, I will visit the surface of the labyrinth one more time and build up my army a bit.
####
After increasing my army by 20, I went down again and would now rest until the cooldown was over. There's still a little over 6 hours.
'What should I do? Kill monsters?'
No, I'm still feeling exhausted. Even though my SP had almost completely recovered, my body was still heavy and even a little sore.
Seriously, I overdid it.
'Editing three statuses to 20,000 was over the top. My Status didn't even seem to be at 20,000. It felt like I had a limiter holding me back.'
'All right, system, I won't raise three statuses to 20,000 for now, ~~.'
Now, let's rest until the cooldown is over.
'Hey, you, giant snake, can you stop staring at me like that? It's uncomfortable.' Even without one eye, his gaze was still awkward. 'Thank you.'
####
'Finally!'
The cooldown was finally over! I can test a Seven Deadly Sins skill!
And, of course, the skill I want is the [ Pride ] skill. It's the best skill for me right now.
But before that, let's talk about the [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] skill I got using my ability to edit skills.
It's no longer here. It's disappeared.
If I had taken the tier 1 version of the skill and put it at level 10, I would have unlocked the [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] skill... And it would have remained in my Status. But I didn't because I needed the skill at the maximum level.
Next time, I'll get the [ Spatial Maneuvering ] skill to unlock [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] and keep it in my Status.
And now, let's get back to what matters.
'Let's edit the skill I use the least... Hmmm... Edit the [ Poison Synthesis ] skill to [ Pride ]!'
[ Skill "Pride" has been learned ]
[ The requirements have been completed. The title "Ruler of Pride" has been acquired ]
'I've acquired the title!!! But will I be able to keep it?' Well, that doesn't matter now.'
About the title.
[ Increases MP, Magic, and resistance stats. +Correction to mental skill proficiencies. Grants ruling class privileges. ]
[ Causes the user to see others as "EXP." And become obsessed with becoming stronger. ]
'It's a good effect, really. But will it make that much difference to me? Well, I don't think so.'
But honestly, the title doesn't matter. What matters is the [ Pride ] skill, which will greatly help me. It's so good that I'll keep it for a while to level up.
[ Experience points and proficiency gain will greatly increase, along with improved growth capacity for every ability. ]
'This is so good it makes me want to cry!!!!"
And while I was waiting for the cooldown to end, I was able to rest. Now, I'll move on to continue leveling up. 'I'm sure I'll level up faster now!!! It's impossible not to level up quickly with this skill.'
I left the snake behind and started to search for strong monsters to kill.
'How convenient it would be if I met a dragon?
####
*Change of POV*
[ "Small Taratect LV5" became "Small Taratect LV6" ]
'Finally!!!!' Kumoko shouted happily. She had finally reached level 6, and the number of skills she possessed was also growing steadily.
'But it's taking too long. I feel like I'm not going to be able to level up again here...' Kumoko looked at the body in front of her and sighed. 'But who cares? It's time to eat.'
Kumoko picked up the toad's body and carried it to her house, which she had built a short while ago.
Once there, Kumoko could hear some strange sounds.
'It's those strange humans again!!!'

But before that, let's talk about the [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] skill I got using my ability to edit skills.
It's no longer here. It's disappeared.
If I had taken the tier 1 version of the skill and put it at level 10, I would have unlocked the [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] skill... And it would have remained in my Status. But I didn't because I needed the skill at the maximum level.
Next time, I'll get the [ Spatial Maneuvering ] skill to unlock [ Dimensional Maneuvering ] and keep it in my Status.
And now, let's get back to what matters.
'Let's edit the skill I use the least... Hmmm... Edit the [ Poison Synthesis ] skill to [ Pride ]!'
[ Skill "Pride" has been learned ]
[ The requirements have been completed. The title "Ruler of Pride" has been acquired ]
'I've acquired the title!!! But will I be able to keep it?' Well, that doesn't matter now.'
About the title.
[ Increases MP, Magic, and resistance stats. +Correction to mental skill proficiencies. Grants ruling class privileges. ]
[ Causes the user to see others as "EXP." And become obsessed with becoming stronger. ]
'It's a good effect, really. But will it make that much difference to me? Well, I don't think so.'
But honestly, the title doesn't matter. What matters is the [ Pride ] skill, which will greatly help me. It's so good that I'll keep it for a while to level up.
[ Experience points and proficiency gain will greatly increase, along with improved growth capacity for every ability. ]
'This is so good it makes me want to cry!!!!"
And while I was waiting for the cooldown to end, I was able to rest. Now, I'll move on to continue leveling up. 'I'm sure I'll level up faster now!!! It's impossible not to level up quickly with this skill.'
I left the snake behind and started to search for strong monsters to kill.
'How convenient it would be if I met a dragon?

'Finally!!!!' Kumoko shouted happily. She had finally reached level 6, and the number of skills she possessed was also growing steadily.
'But it's taking too long. I feel like I'm not going to be able to level up again here...' Kumoko looked at the body in front of her and sighed. 'But who cares? It's time to eat.'
Kumoko picked up the toad's body and carried it to her house, which she had built a short while ago.
Once there, Kumoko could hear some strange sounds.
'It's those strange humans again!!!'

Kumoko was desperate, but she was soon saved by a monster that suddenly appeared. However, that monster was much worse than those humans. 'WHAT IS MY MOTHER DOING HERE?!'
For some reason, her mother had appeared.
A giant spider, much bigger than the black spider Kumoko had encountered earlier. Kumoko's body froze as her mother walked past her. 'Didn't she notice me?
That wasn't the case; the spider had noticed Kumoko's presence but only focused on the humans.
The strange aura of those humans caught her attention.
Kumoko heaved a sigh of relief.
'I must leave here before she decides to come after me.' Kumoko left her house, and the last thing she saw was the strange humans being killed by her mother. The humans tried to attack but couldn't even hit that giant spider once.
'My mom is so scary!' Kumoko hid in the middle of some rocks.
She decided to stay there and wait for her mother to disappear. However, much to Kumoko's despair, her mother appeared right next to her.
With her grotesque and disgusting appearance, the giant spider walked slowly past Kumoko.
Her eyes then moved to Kumoko's location, but the giant spider looked ahead again and continued walking. 'Did she ignore me? Did she realize I'm too weak and couldn't do anything against her?!'
Kumoko celebrated being so weak.
The conclusion Kumoko came to is that she is so weak that her mother doesn't care about her and wouldn't kill her.
Then, long minutes passed. Everything had fallen silent. Kumoko could no longer hear her mother's heavy footsteps or any other sound. 'I guess it's okay to leave now.'
Kumoko sneaked out of her hiding place and visited where the humans were.
'She didn't eat them.' Kumoko was surprised that her mother hadn't eaten those humans. Apparently, their meat wasn't good. Everything she bit into, she spat out. 'Urgh, that stinks.'
It was the smell of rotten meat.
'Wait, look, their bodies are rotten!' The bodies of those humans weren't like that before, but now that the giant spider had killed them, their bodies had started to rot rapidly.
Kumoko couldn't stand the smell, so she left the place.
'I feel like I'm going to throw up~~'

With my [ Pride ] skill, I'd even gotten a bit excited to keep killing monsters. I ran through the Lower Stratum of the labyrinth while killing any monsters I encountered.
Finjicote, Elroe Gastruch, Elroe Greshigard, Elroe Daznatch, Elroe Kohokoro, Elroe Randanel, Anogratch, Bagragratch, Elroe Utoeundo. I encountered all these monsters on my adventure. However, I didn't find a dragon.
'Shall we stop for a rest now?' I was in an unfamiliar place. I had night vision, so I can see everything... But I'm sure this place is even darker than the other areas around here.
I was practically in a deep hole. It was damp and even a little cold in this area.
I used my webbing and created a new home to rest in. It took longer than usual as my size had increased and my house needed to be big. I saved a bit of time by making a less secure house.
I climbed on the webs and sighed.
'Haaa~~ I haven't gone up a level yet. I wonder if my kids are okay.' I had just realized that it wouldn't take long for the edit I had made on my familiars to disappear.
The duration of the edit is 24 hours. The first familiars on the surface have been there for many hours.
'I'm sure they'll be killed soon.'
But even if they are killed, I don't think it will be a problem. My level didn't increase once, even while hunting with the [ Pride ] skill in my Status.
They must not have gained much experience for me.
'Huh?' Then I heard something crawling across the rocks. I thought it was another of those snakes that could give me a headache, but it was a different snake.

'It's big, but its's much weaker.' I watched the snake pass below me and then threw myself on top of it. I fell and easily cut the snake's body in half with my claws.
I'm sure it didn't even feel any pain.
