〖Hi!

[[〖Yeah!!!〗]]
Spider Girl!
I just love her…
I rubbed my tired eyes.
Huh…
It seems it’s already late…
Which means, it’s peak bedtime hours~
If I don’t sleep now…
Then I might have to make up for my lack of sleep by zoning out in class tomorrow…
That won’t do!
Mhm…
Time to sleep.
Hopefully, I can meet my favorite little spider in my dreams…
….
Zzzzzz…
….
….
Huh?
Hmm…
…..Huh???
No, no, no!
W-Why didn’t I hear my alarm?!
Agh…
I must have forgotten to set it and overslept!
My phone…
Where’s my phone!
Instinctively, I reached out my right hand, trying to fumble for the phone I left charging by my bed before going to sleep.
*Splat!!*
My hand collided with some unknown object.
After being stunned for two seconds, I felt a bit at a loss.
What on earth?!
I startled, as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my head, and all sleepiness vanished instantly.
Forcefully opening my eyes, I realized I couldn’t see anything.
In front of me,
There was only complete darkness.
What…
what kind of plot is this?!
Wrong…
This is very wrong…!
I tried to stand up, but found myself in a narrow space where even moving my body slightly was difficult, and weird noises kept coming from outside, heightening the unease in my heart.
So,
I slowly extended my right hand forward, feeling this “unknown membrane” enveloping me.
Soft and bouncy…
But also seemingly quite resilient…?
*Phew…*
I took a deep breath, steeling myself, and abruptly poked my right hand forward!
*Crack!*
Successful breakthrough?!
Was it that easy…
Huh…?
Since when did my right hand get this short….
Never mind,
Regardless of that for now…
Thinking this, I reached out my left hand, squeezing it through the crack my right hand just poked out,
And then slowly applied force, prying the thing in front of me open.
Hello world again…!
…
Ugh…
This is…?
Entering my vision was a whole horde of lizard hatchlings currently breaking out of their shells, each of their bodies coated in a gelatinous fluid.
They struggled, desperately twisting their bodies, constantly squeezing outward from those eggs.
As their bodies wriggled, the thick mucus on them continuously dripped onto the ground, everywhere.
Waaah!!
I was so shocked by the scene before me that I was at a loss for words, instinctively wanting to back away,
But then suddenly realized I was still stuck inside this layer of “unknown membrane”.
No…
Calling it an “eggshell” is more appropriate.
I tremulously looked at my hands.
No…
Calling them “claws” is more appropriate.
They were two dark green forelimbs, dripping mucus still constantly pattering down from the claw tips.
My mind blanked.
Just like that,
Maintaining the posture of being half-stuck in the soft shell, I stood stunned in place.
…
These are all lizards,
And I am a lizard too?
I reincarnated,
I reincarnated as a lizard?!
Calm down, calm down…
The urgent matter right now should be breaking through the “bondage” of this eggshell.
I forcefully lunged my body forward, using my front claws to tear open the eggshell on my body, while simultaneously straightening my back claws.
*Nnngh…!*
Finally, under unremitting efforts, I successfully crawled out of my birthplace…
…
Became a lizard, huh…
After regaining freedom, I began to survey the surrounding environment.
Seems I was born in terrain resembling a rocky cavern….
All around here were dark gray rock walls, covered in mottled moss and traces of water erosion.
In the corners and cracks of the walls, there were also a few bright blue crystals emitting a faint shimmer.
I twisted my head to look to the side.
On the rock wall over there was an opening enveloped by luminous moss.
Seems like a passageway behind it?
Extending forward, until it was swallowed by endless darkness—that was the only exit here.
Ugh…
Nowhere here looks like it’s from the real world, anyway.
But speaking of which…
Are lizards oviparous animals?
Never mind,
My biology isn’t good and I don’t want to think about it that much…
Activities using a lizard’s body are still more or less awkward, having a sort of all-fours, feeling of crawling forward…
I tried twisting my head to look behind me again, but found my head didn’t seem to be able to turn such a large angle, so after some effort, I gave up.
Seems like something slippery is dragging behind me…..
Oh…?
Is that my tail?
While thinking this, I waggled the tail behind me, experiencing this wonderful feeling I’d never had before.
I looked at the group of “brothers and sisters” beside me again.
They were crawling around randomly, and a few were together playing stack-up.
Yuck, childish!
I walked to the corner, curiously extending a hand (claw) to touch the crystals on the wall, attempting to wipe off the fluid attached to them.
Though it couldn’t be wiped clean, still, through the crystal’s reflection, I could fuzzily clearly see what I looked like:
A green-skinned lizard with bright yellow vertical pupils, looking no different from the silly siblings alongside me.
…
Sigh…
I lay extremely lazily on a rock, a chilly sensation coming through the skin on my belly, gazing forward thoughtfully.
Just what kind of world did I reincarnate into anyway…
Reincarnating after just sleeping, isn’t this kind of thing too preposterous…..?
Humph,
Furthermore,
Let alone reincarnating, I’m a lizard…!
But since I reincarnated, and it’s the otherworld reincarnation type…
doesn’t that mean…
I can’t go online anymore?!
Agh…
Just H!O!W!
can I live with this!
I’ll never hear Spider Girl’s songs again…
Sob sob….
Hmm?
Spider Girl?
I looked around at the environment again.
Could here…
by any chance be the world Spider Girl reincarnated into?
Yeah!
Why did I only just think of it, it’s not without such a possibility after all!
Speaking of which, how should I verify if I reincarnated into that world?
Think, think…
Ah, got it!
I silently intoned the word in my heart:
App!raisal!
«Currently possessed Skill Points are 50000.
Can use 1000 Skill Points to acquire Skill <Appraisal LV1>.
Acquire?»
Oh?
Oooooh!!
For real, it really is for real!
Speaking of which, Appraisal is a very critical skill, you know!
Wahoo!
Getting excited, hey!
This really feels too much like an otherworld reincarnation!
Awesome!
Of course I’ll acquire it!!
«Successfully acquired <Appraisal LV.1>.
Remaining Skill Points are 49000.»
Yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!
It’s finally come!
Hehehe…
But then again, my initial Skill Points were actually 50000?
A full 500 times Spider Girl’s, you know!
Well…
though there’s a reason Spider Girl’s initial Skill Points were only 100, she really was just a spider originally, after all.
According to the setting of the original work, the initial Skill Points possessed by a spider’s soul strength wouldn’t be too many.
The human reincarnators in the original work also possessed a lot of initial Skill Points.
Hero Schlain’s initial Skill Points were 100,000, and Lady Katia’s initial Skill Points were also 75,000.
So am I in this lizard body with a human soul?
Is that it…
In that case!
Naturally, I can’t let this many Skill Points go to waste!
My understanding of the original work is v~~ery~~ thorough, oh, let us continue to learn m!o!re….?
Suddenly, a chill ran through my entire body.
I felt as if something was watching me from behind.
Stiffly turning around, entering my vision was a massive lizard, its colossal body almost completely stuffing the entrance’s rocky passageway.
Its two eyes swiveled around, finally looking in my direction.
My entire body wasn’t even as thick as one of its legs…
It looked down upon me from above, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feigning composure while silently maintaining eye contact with it.
