6 The Amazing Spider Girl (2)
--- Nameless Lesser Terratect's POV---
Alright...
Let's recap.
After I got reincarnated as a spider I tried to survive by fleeing from my own cannibalistic family.
I then get the skill called 『Appraisal』, kill a frog, ate a frog, gain Acid Resistance, appraise the stones,appraisetherocks,appraisethewalls,appraisetheair,appraisethemonsters,appraisemyself---!!!!
*Inhales*
APPRAISE THE SMARTPHONE!
TTE NAI WA!
WHY IS IT EVEN HERE!?
*Ding*
With a somewhat iconic notification sound, it lights up the darkness of the cave where I am currently at.
For some reason it allows me to use it even though my hand does not exactly have what you recognize as a "fingerprint".
The moment it shines with the tint color of the screen, it welcomes me warmly.

[Welcome, to the Dimensional Group Chat]
As you can see, there are three members in the group chat including me.
For some reason, one of them changed his nickname, and they started talking in Korean.
There are notifications about the group chat getting upgraded too and such, but the only thing I was concerned about is the new feature called "Skill Compendium".
A platform separated from the group chat and it allows us to share our skills???
Something like that exists!?
I should definitely get along with these guys!
*Ding*
Hm?
[Administrator Y: For starters, I'd like all of you to open the skill compendium and open the option with my name. Please buy a copy of the "multilingual" skill]
(A/N: the message above is in Korean.)
[Administrator Y: For starters, I'd like all of you to open the skill compendium and open the option with my name. Please buy a copy of the "multilingual" skill]
(A/N: The message above is in Japanese.)
Hm? Multilingual? He's trying to make us buy a copy of his skill?
Well, let's think about it later.

• [Multilingual] (C)
Oh? That was the skill the chat was talking about, wasn't it?
Since it says it's a feature that "shares" skills then...
[Would You like to buy a copy of 『Multilingual』 for 1 Compendium point? Y/N]
[Compendium points in possession: 5]
YES!

«Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Multilngual Lv MAX』 has been learned»
U-uoooh!??
It's a skill! Not to mention, Lv max!?
Let's try reading "that" messages.
[Administrator Y: Sorry about earlier. For starters, how about we start with introductions? My name is Akihito. Delighted to make your acquaintance]
[Weakest Hunter: I am Sung Jin Woo, a Korean. Nice to meet you]
I UNDERSTAND IT! I CAN UNDERSTAND IT!
I can't exactly read it, but I can understand it!
Uooooh! This is convenient, I wonder if they would share more skills???
*Gasp*
I realized something important.
Fufufu.
Fuhahaha
Fu- HA HA HA HA HA HA!
I can do it, with this skill-sharing ability...
I can survive with this!
The only problem is...
S.o.c.i.a.l.i.z.i.n.g.
Let's see...
[My name is Wakaba Hiiro and I am a spider_]
No no, that's too neutral. Let's delete it...
[Hewo evewyone~ the name's Kumoko! I'm your fwenly dungeon-hood spider gurl~❤❤❤_]
Okay, that's probably going too far...
[Please call me Kumo, I am a spider. A pkeasure to make your acquaintance.]
*SLAM*
WHY CAN'T I TYPE PROPERLY!?
Uh-oh... What a tough smartphone... There's smoke coming from the phone since I slammed it quite hard, but the screen was still fine...
Is this a Nok*a?
*Ding*
Eh?
[Administrator Y: @Spidergirl if you share 『Spider Threads』 into the Compendium, I'll share 『Martial Arts: Embracer』]
E-eh?
What is that, that sounds powerful! But... How did they know about what I wanted!? Was he watching me!?
How does he know of my skills!?
[Administrator Y: @Weakesthunter Feel free to buy a copy of the skill too.]
[Weakest Hunter: Oh! You helped me there, thank you.]
[Administrator Y: Don't mention it, stay safe with your hunting, JinWoo-ssi.]
Eh? That Korean Guy is now typing in Japanese too...
Wha-- no! Let's just respond to him...
[Spider Girl: Sure]
Was that enough?
That was enough right?
It doesn't make me sound like an arrogant little b*tch right?
*Ding*
[Administrator Y has shared a skill]
Ooh!
Ah, wait... I need to fulfill my end of the bargain...
Let's see...
Press this and...
*Ding*
[Spider Girl has shared a skill]
There you go... Now I need to go to the compendium and...
[Would You like to buy a copy of 『Martial Arts: Embracer』for 3 Compendium points? Y/N]
[You currently have 4 Compendium points]
Yes!
«Third Party intervention detected»
«Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Martial Arts: Embracer Lv6』 has been learned»
Nice!
Now then... Fufufufu
MARTIAL ARTS: EMBRACER!!!
...
I should have anticipated that...
*Ding*
Hm?
[Administrator Y: I should first explain how the skill actually works. By the time you're reading this, if you're making some weird pose while shouting my skill name, I'd be very disappointed in you.]
W-w-w-who's making a weird pose huh!?
I wasn't!
*Ding*
[Administrator Y: the skill will activate when you perform the appropriate "pre-motion" for the skill, such as raising a sword atop one's shoulder. In this case, just make a stance where you would try to hit something or someone, once your motion was recognized by the system, your hand will start glowing and hit your opponents with it.]
Humu humu...
I see...
I DON'T HAVE A HAND.
Will that even work!???
Ugh... Let's see...
I went to a big boulder and raised my fist--- not!
Yes, right I raised my front leg...
And...
*Zing*
Wha--!!
It was yellow.
It illuminates the darkness of the cave, better than the smartphone.
And when it hit the boulder...
*CRACK*
*BLAM*
My skinny exoskeleton leg was able to pierce through the boulder easily.
U-uoooh!!!!!!
*Ding*
Hm?
[Weakest Hunter: I feel it's not right if I just take the skill like that, so please check on mine. Even though it's not much, I'd like to help you all as well.]

• [Muscularity] (C)
• [Sprint] (C)
They sound like basic skills, but it's all C ranked...
Compared to mine...
(A/N: haha E ranks go BRR)
I shouldn't underestimate the "Weakest" hunter huh...
Oh well...
[Would You like to buy a copy of 『Muscularity』 for 1 Compendium point? Y/N]
[You only have 1 Compendium point]
Hmm...
I realized something important...
I'M A SPIDER, I AM COVERED WITH AN EXOSKELETON. WILL THAT SKILL EVEN HELP ME AT ALL???
Welp, next.
[Would You like to buy a copy of 『Sprint』 for 1 Compendium point? Y/N]
[You only have 1 Compendium point]
Ugh... I am conflicted.
*Ding*
Hm?
[Administrator Y: Thank you, JinWoo-ssi. I have sincerely bought Sprint. It is quite useful.]
[Weakest Hunter: You are flattering me]
Hmmm????
"Quite useful" I see??
If only I could tell them to tell me the exact description of the skills.
Should I just go for it?
It should be a skill that helps you with agility and stamina consumption right?
Sigh... Actually, let's just leave it at that. I need to save the points for skills that will be more useful in the future.

---Okamura Akihito's POV---
Despite still being the "Weakest" now, Sung JinWoo's skills are much more useful than any of us in actuality.
Swordman's Greed forbids me to gain more skills through the SAO's system, and I only have a few skills before getting Swordman's Greed.
Like seriously... An Easter egg? Well, this is the SAO where the game becomes a reality, so there's nothing impossible anymore.
The fact that my low knowledge of SAO already concerns me when I realize this world is the anime itself, but the fact that it became like this almost drove me to panic.
Which is why... I really want to scream...
[Notice. Constellations have gazed upon the Aincrad.]
What...
[A certain constellation that hates cliché stories is gazing at you]
...In the f*cking...
[A certain high-ranked constellation is cursing you]
...Manhwa...
[A certain Evil goddess is interested in you]
...IS THIS!????
