So I'm a Spider, So What?

I'm gonna survive-just watch me! I was your average, everyday high school girl, but now I've been reborn in a magical world...as a spider?! Wait-this isn't how these stories are supposed to go! Can I get a do-over? ...No? But how am I supposed to survive in this big, scary dungeon as one of the weakest monsters? It's "every spider for herself " in here! I gotta figure out the rules to this QUICK, or I'll be kissing my short second life goodbye... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When someone asks if you're a guardian spirit, you say...?I've really done it this time. After I saved my old classmate who's been reborn as an overpowered vampire, the townspeople took it upon themselves to worship me like some kind of guardian spirit. Not that I'm complaining about the delicious free food, but...I'm a loner by nature! I'm TERRIBLE at dealing with people! And they're not monsters, so it's not like I can just kill them to make them go away. What am I gonna do...? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A mystery man and a smart phone? Things are about to get interesting! I'm continuing to level up and kick some monster booty into the next stratum! But there's more to this world than I thought...and it seems there are some big figures at play behind the scenes. Like this man, for example-he just popped up out of nowhere! And...what's this? Holy crap, a cell phone?! Maybe I'll finally be able to communicate with someone down here in this labyrinth, and start getting to the bottom of things! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I-i-it's not like a spider needs friends! I did it! I'm finally an Arachne!...Aaand things already aren't going the way I thought they would. I'm inexplicably on a road trip with the Demon Lord, a reincarnated baby, and her troubled vampire guardian. I don't really interact with them much, besides subjecting my reborn classmate to insane training, watching the party sneak off into villages, hearing about the delicious food they eat...Wait, hold up. Doesn't it seem like I'm the only one who's being left out?!? W-w-well, the monsters up here taste delicious, so whatever! Sniff, sniff. I wonder if my other brains are having a better time... What are they even up to?

I'm going to evolve!

27 I'm going to evolve!

Something unexpected was told along with the level up.

You mean evolve?

In other words, is it that?

Is it something like the game where you raise a pocket monster? (TL note: Pokemon!!!)

"There are multiple choices of evolution. Please choose from the following.

Lesser Taratect

Small Taratect"

O, Ou.

Err, wait a minute.

Just a moment. ( ジャストアモーメント.)

Let's think carefully.

This is an important turning point of life.

Not a human life but a spider life.

Anyway, I can't carelessly choose these.

I'll evolve.

Well, that's good.

It's not strange that such thing exist in this game-like world.

It would be endless if I start to retort about it.

Well, since it's called as evolution, it should be a power up.

If I could evolve, it's obviously better to do it, maybe.

Un.

There are some things that are better if it didn't evolve though it's just a game knowledge.

Well, I think that evolving is better because such a type is minor.

The problem is that I have 2 kinds of evolution.

Lesser Taratect and Small Taratect.

It doesn't seem to differ much just by hearing the names.

The only difference is Lesser or Small.

Ah, it would be nice if I can use my "Appraisal" on the voice of heaven.

Then, I can understand the difference clearly.

Hmmm.

Well, generally, can you imagine it?

I think I would probably change into adult form if it's Lesser Taratect.

The word "Small" disappeared from the name.

On the contrary, for the Small Taratect, will I become a higher rank species from the deteriorating species because the word "Lesser" disappeared?

However, the word "Small" remains means that I would remain as a hatchling.

Perhaps, I can depend on this recognition.

When thinking so, I have decided on which I should choose.

The only option is Small Taratect.

It's not too good even if I evolve as a deteriorating species. ( 劣化種のまま進化してもあんまりいいことなさそう. TL note : not sure about this)

In addition, if it's Small Taratect, then doesn't that means that there's one more stage of evolution left?

Removing the "Small" and evolve into a Taratect.

I don't know how much change will occur by evolving but at least, it's certain that I would get stronger after evolving.

Then, it's obvious to pick the choice that can evolve a number of times.

By any chance, the Lesser Taratect might be able to evolve but it's impossible to bring myself to choose it by wishful thinking.

In addition, if I chose Lesser Taratect, it's scary that I don't know how big I would become.

Becoming an adult form probably increases my body size.

Though I think that I probably won't get bigger suddenly after evolve but I can't say that it's not possible.

This is a fantasy world, it's scary that I can't cut the possibility of a development like "I'll evolve, Poof, I became big!"

While the possibility exists, I can't choose it easily.

Surely, I don't think I would become as big as the huge spider but I would be troubled if my body enlarge into the size where I can't fit in this passage now.

Though there was a monster called Finjegoath that I saw before, this monster has a large build that can fill up this 3 meters square passage.

In such a state, moving should be hard.

I think that probably those monsters originally inhabit in a wider place and that individual accidentally lost its way into the narrow passage.

When thinking so, it's possible that I can't move with a large build.

Then, it's better that the size remains the same.

That's one of the reasons to choose Small Taratect.

Un.

I decided it.

I'll evolve into Small Taratect!

"Individual Small Lesser Taratect evolves into SmallTaratect"

Ah, yes.

Evolution sure starts abruptly.

Though the voice of heaven is always abrupt, I want it to mind my emotions a little more.

Even when I'm evolving with,,much,,,eff,,orts,,,,.

"Evolution completed"

"Became the Small Taratect species"

"Every basic ability rose"

"Level Up Bonus:Skill Proficiency was acquired"

"Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Taboo LV1』 has became 『Taboo LV2』"

"Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Heresy Magic LV1』 has became 『Heresy Magic LV2』"

"Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Corrosion Resistance LV1』 has became 『Corrosion Resistance LV2』"

"Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Idaten LV1』 has became 『Idaten LV2』"

"Skill points gained"

Uo!?

Eh? Eh?

I, when did I sleep?

No, my consciousness fades away suddenly and feels like snapping off?

Isn't this the effect of the evolution?

Hey, voice of heaven-san, you should say it beforehand that I would lose consciousness when evolving!

Uun?

Did the evolution ended?

It doesn't seem that there are any changes in my appearance.

Ah, the "Appraisal" has been canceled.

Yosh, I appraise myself to confirm my current condition.

『Small Taratect LV1 No name

 Status: Weak』

Oh! Oo,Oh?

Hmmmm?

It looks like the evolution succeeded because the species name has changed.

However, LV1?

Is it the one where level falls after evolving?

Err, don't tell me that my status also experience a decrease?

I can't judge it because the status still shows that I'm weak.

I mean I'm still weak.... ( ていうか弱いままなのか….TL note: not too sure how to translate it)

Leaving that aside, there's something that's bothering me which is the red total stamina gauge is almost empty.

So that's why my body feel so heavy since a while ago and I'm very hungry.

Probably because of energy was used in evolution. Luckily, I have stored up a lot of preys.

It looks like the evolution somehow succeeded but this is dangerous if I do it simply.

I would lose consciousness and get hungry.

In case there's a next one, it would be bad if I don't prepare beforehand.
