Another World?

I’m just a plain, ordinary Japanese high school girl.

I was supposed to be in class, yet after waking up, I found myself in an unknown place!Full novel: So What If I Reincarnated as a Lizard? — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

What…

what on earth is going on here?!

…

Spider…

Spider…

Spider…

I’m a spider…

I reincarnated as a spider…

…

Eee-eee-eee-EHHH??!

Do-do-do-don’t you guys have anything else to eat?!

What the hell are these guys doing?!

Why are you practicing cannibalism, ahhhhh?!

No, no, no, no, no!

That’s just wrong, right?!

…

Ugh…

M-Mom??

Even you’re doing this??

Eating your own kids like they’re snacks…

Isn’t that way too cruel…

Rumble…!

Hmm?

Mom, what are you doing now?

By the way, why are you smashing your front leg into that wall over there?

Could there be something weird on the wall…

…

Waaaaah—

Better escape from here first!

Surviving is the top priority!!

…

Ugh, ahhh—!!

Why did I waste my Skill Points learning such a trash skill!!

This effect is practically useless!!

Damn it, damn it!

Or could it be…

because the level is too low?

After all, there’s a LV.1 attached at the end…

But I don’t have any Skill Points left now…

Sigh…

I can’t accept this…

…

[Small Lesser Taratect]

Hmm…

Huh?

Though I knew the result would be spider, what does nameless mean?

I’m a spider, but I don’t have a name yet?

Anyway, let’s ignore this [Appraisal Lv 1] skill that seems completely useless for now…

The number of things I don’t understand has increased again…

Although it feels like a game world, I just don’t know if I’m in the right mood to enjoy it, that’s all…

Oh, my stomach is hungry?

Staying here forever doesn’t seem like a solution either.

Let’s just wander around somewhere else…

Sigh…

I wanna eat chocolate, I wanna eat potato chips, I wanna eat cup noodles…

Anything is fine…

In short, let me find something edible first…

…

Whoa!!

I seem to have discovered something amazing!

Left on the ground are…

human footprints!

There are humans living in this world too?

I’m seriously touched!

I also discovered something relatively…

no, exceedingly terrible…

My body seems to be way bigger than these human footprints!

Th-th-this…

Doesn’t this confirm that I’m a monster!

Sigh, even though I didn’t want to face it, this fact is laid out right in front of me…

Doesn’t that mean I’ll be killed if I run into humans?!

That’s very likely to happen, right!

Hmm?

What is that sound?

Not far ahead, sounds of intense fighting echoed out.

Even though I was terrified, curiosity drove me to slowly creep closer.

Following that, what entered my eyes…

was a dull gray lizard fighting three humans!

Even scarier, behind those three humans was a spider corpse that had already been dismembered into pieces!

Looks like…

that was one of my siblings!

If it were me, I’d definitely end up the same way!

By the way, is that an adventurer party?

Raiding a monster in a group?

Though…

rather than a fight, it looks more like a one-sided slaughter of the humans by that lizard.

The few humans look completely unable to handle it!

Even when weapons strike that lizard’s body, they only spark off sparks.

Not only is its defense high, that lizard’s speed also looks ridiculously fast!

The humans can’t keep up with its rhythm at all!

Oh?!

Whoa, oh!

What is that?!

Magic?

That looks so cool!!

A bright yellow magic circle suddenly flashed in front of the lizard’s claw, followed immediately by a lance made of earth shooting out fiercely from the middle of the magic circle, piercing through the chest of the human in front of it in one blow!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Ugh…

That’s a bit too bloody…

I even feel a bit nauseous, though there’s nothing in my stomach to throw up anyway…

Seeing the lizard use magic, the other two humans seemed scared out of their wits.

One dropped his weapon directly, slumping onto the ground, while the other remained standing, but his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

They look so pitiful…

But that lizard didn’t seem to show any mercy, lunging forward violently.

As its claws slashed through, two flowers of blood bloomed in the air!

Ooh!

So strong, so strong!

That lizard seems to be an extremely formidable monster!

I clapped my spider legs excitedly on the side, and right at that moment, that lizard looked in my direction.

Its cold gaze made me shiver, and I instantly gasped.

Could it have marked me as its next prey?

No, please no!

I’m still just a newborn baby spider!

Ahhh…

I turned tail and ran, waving my eight spider legs for all I was worth, plunging straight into another fork in the path where I came from.

…

Phew…

Phew…

Phew…

So tired, so tired, so tired…

It wasn’t until I had no strength left in my entire body that I stopped running, sprawling powerlessly on the spot…

Huh?

What is this?

While I was lying on the ground, I felt a sticky clump of something attached to my butt.

Huh…?

Is this thread I spun?

Oh right!

I’m a spider, of course I spin thread!

Strange…

I don’t remember wanting to spin thread…

And…

Don’t tell me I was dragging this stuff behind me the whole time while running!

Waaaah…!

That’s way too embarrassing!

Whatever, let’s ignore this thread spun without me realizing it for now.

Since I’m a spider…

let’s try making a small home first!

Alright, time to start nest building!

…

Yay!

Completed!

I looked around with satisfaction at the beautiful cobwebs that had already blocked all directions leading here.

I even intentionally left an escape route just in case of any mishaps!

The home’s location was also carefully chosen by me.

This is a T-junction, so when encountering danger, I’ll have more choices!

The cobwebs should also catch prey regularly…

This way, I might be able to nest here for the rest of my life!

It’s truly too perfect!

Just as I was about to jump up and cheer, I wasn’t paying attention and fell flat on the ground…

Ugh, so hungry…

Oh right…

Web-weaving must consume stamina too…

I haven’t eaten a single thing since I was born…

I feel like I’m about to starve to death…

But…

there’s nothing to eat here either…

No…

Could it be ending just as it started…

Just when I felt like I was about to draw my last breath.

Clack…

Clack…

What’s that sound?

I struggled to turn my head toward the direction of the sound.

Ah!

It’s that lizard from before!

Not good…

I don’t have a shred of strength left to run…

Could it be…

I’m going to meet my end here…?

Huh…?

It seems to be dragging something…

Oh!

Is it the spider corpse behind those humans from earlier?

While I was thinking that, the lizard had already walked up in front of me.

Just as I closed my eyes in fear.

Splat

The sound of an object landing echoed out.

I peeked open my eyes to observe.

Oh?

It placed that spider corpse right in front of me, then pointed at it with its claw, and then pointed at my stomach.

What does that mean?

Is it telling me to eat this?

I looked at it with some confusion, but it didn’t say anything, just quietly looking at me.

Uh, or maybe it can’t speak?

I looked at the corpse before me with a troubled expression.

Looks like there’s no other choice…

If I don’t eat, I’m really going to starve to death…

The first thing I eat after being born is my sibling’s corpse—I feel like my sins are heavy…

Ah…!

Can’t care about that anymore!

Thanks for the food!

Chomp!

…

Waaaaah…

Tastes terrible!

Super bitter!

Gag, gag, gag…
