You know I could get used to this new life.
After I finished eating my brother and the little frog, which were good meals by the way, I felt satisfied and comfortable enough to go to sleep for a while.
Ah~ the advantages of having a base right now, I can afford to be lazy for now.
…
ZZZ
Yaaaaaawn (this counts like a sound, for me at least)
Ahh, I fell asleep.
Who knew I could relax so much that I could fall asleep just like that out of nowhere.
I still feel a little full, do spiders store more food for longer than humans?
Or at least the spiders of this world.
I mean, it makes some sense, according to my assumptions I'm pretty big, bigger than an average human, so it makes some sense.
I also have a great ass.
...don't get it wrong, perverts.
As I rambled on with a variety of useless thoughts, I felt one of my threads vibrate.
Another prey just fell into one of my traps.
I'm not really hungry, but it would be nice to stock up on food while I can.
After all, if I miss this opportunity, who knows when I'll get another.
Now, what do we have here.
...wait a second.
That's right.
Ehh?
What the hell is a human doing here?!
Indeed, into my trap had fallen a human, a man to be more specific.
It looked like he was carrying something.
He also had some rather nice metal armor.
He must be a knight; I don't think adventurers dress like that.
Speaking of which, are there any adventurers here?
I don't really remember.
I curse my memory.
Wait a second, this guy is covered in blood, did he fight some monster or what?
Ah, he saw me.
And now he is panicking
I am so embarrassed to see it.
Are humans really so fearful?
Hmm, he's putting something out
What a rare item
Wait, it's a fire item?!
Wait, he's not using it to free himself from my threads, he's burning himself.
What the heck?!
The boy threw the item on the ground and it is now on fire.
Could it be that he wants to impersonate the burning man from the Fantastic 4?
The fire spread through my threads and now it's burning my nest, what the fuck man?
You burned yourself just to free yourself from my net, how stupid you are.
And now it is rolling on the ground, putting out the flames.
How stupid, he was already hurt and now he's burned, he won't survive long.
I wonder if it will taste good
Oh look, he seems to have gathered his last strength to get up and run away.
Meh, not worth it, it doesn't seem to get very far.
Now it's just me and the thing I leave behind, which will be.
egg
Ah, it's just a stupid egg.
Now the situation is a little clearer.
This man must have been part of a squadron that came in search of this egg.
The real question is, why?
Well, there's not much point in that, I'll rebuild my house first and then figure out what to do with this egg.
1234
It has been a day since that "mysterious" encounter with this man.
No angry parent dragon has come to claim this egg in that time, so they are most likely dead.
After all dragons are known to be territorial.
You're probably wondering, but kumo-chan (for those who don't know yet, kumo means spider) how do you know the egg is a dragon egg?
Simple
Because this egg is very hard-boiled.
After the 24 hours had passed, since everything was so peaceful, I thought I would experiment a little with this egg.
And maybe eat it.
...what? Several things have happened and I was craving for some egg, after all eggs have so many uses that it really is one of the best foods you can have.
Almost as good as chili.
...if you're wondering, if I liked chili before, don't bother me with that okey.
I tried to break it first with my paws, but it just bounced out of its shell like it was nothing.
Then try doing it with my teeth, since they might be a little bit stronger, you know.
Nothing happened.
Then try using a string as a rope and lift the egg up to the ceiling, then drop it down.
Crash! Nothing happened.
I tried to do the same, but this time I had a sharp rock under the egg to see if it would break.
Crash! Nothing, in fact, the egg crushed the rock.
That's how the big revelation came to me.
The only species that would have such a hard-boiled egg are the dragon family, as any other egg-laying race are quite fragile.
That's how I knew this egg was a dragon egg.
...you know maybe I should keep it.
I always had a dream to be a father, since I died so early in my previous life as a Rodrigo, I thought I could be a good mother like Wakaba-chan.
But I died quickly again.
Maybe this is a sign from the heavens for me to become a mother in this life?
If so, I appreciate it.
Well, I can think about that later
After you create the egg a small home to keep it warm.
I have an urgent problem to solve.
And that's my skills.
As far as I know so far, I have 7 skills, [Appraisal Lv1] [Acid Resistance Lv2] [Poison Resistance Lv2] [Taboo Lv1] [Heretic Magic Lv1] [Telepathy Lv1] and [Hypnosis Lv1].
I obtained both Appraisal, telepathy and hypnosis through the expenditure of skill points.
This leads to another problem.
I still have 50 skill points left but I don't want to spend them until I know how to use my skills correctly.
I am also not sure how to collect more skill points.
I mean, in the anime I got them after leveling up, but who knows if that's still true in this world.
...well, I'll worry about skill points later, there's no point in thinking about it right now.
Anyway, I got both taboo and heretic magic through a title.
After that, I tried several things but I didn't get any degrees.
So, the requirements to obtain a degree are very VERY specific.
Without knowing what degrees there are or their requirements to obtain them, it will be very difficult for me to try to obtain any.
For now, I will count on the luck I have right now to try to obtain skills.
However, there is still another way to obtain skills and it is both my favorite and my most hated way.
And that is through pain, i.e., by letting me receive certain attacks.
And for that I need healing skills
Number of skill points currently in possession: 50. Number of skill points needed to acquire the skill [Heal Lv1]: 10.
Number of skill points currently in possession: 50. Number of skill points needed to acquire the skill [Cure Lv1]: 10.
...What the hell.
I said I wasn't going to learn other skills until I knew how to use them correctly!
...however, I need them very much.
Shit.
meh, whatever
[Heal Lv1] acquired. Number of skill points remaining: 40
[Cure Lv1] acquired. Number of skill points remaining: 30
Ahh, I already regret doing that a little bit.
However, I must remind myself that it is for a good cause.
...good cause my as-
Well, let's continue with my useless thoughts from before.
I should use heal to heal the wounded parts my body has but I prefer not to, I don't think I have mp or hp regeneration automatically.
There is also the question of my stamina, that doesn't regenerate unless I had gluttony and could eat anything.
Still, I thank you system (temporary name) for helping me recently.
You are welcome
...Did you just thank me for the system?
Nai wa, I must have imagined it.
Stupid head.
Well, whatever.
Wait, come to think of it, if the system hadn't told me that my poison resistance had gone up a level, I wouldn't have known I had it in the first place.
Will I have more skills that I don't know about?
That would mean I have skills I don't know about yet.
I wonder what skills I will have that I don't already know.
Will I have any sin already?
I wish I could know, but I cannot.
I need to raise my level of appraisal to do so.
...Wait, maybe I can do it.
In some games, skills leveled up the more you used them.
And as I recall it was the same here.
That means I can raise my skills the more I use them!
...or at least that's the theory.
You should give it a try.
I wrapped a string around the egg, in case someone or something tried to steal it while I was practicing this skill.
WallFloorRock.
Ugh, a bunch of useless junk of information started to fill my head.
It's horribly unpleasant, as if I could get drunk on information but not in a good way.
Proficiency has reached the required level. Skill [Appraisal Lv1] has become [Appraisal Lv2].
Hooray! It worked.
It only went up one level but that means my theory is true.
Now the moment of truth has arrived, impress me with its Appraisal.
Little Taratect Minor - No name.
...Great!
I mean, sure it's not a huge improvement, but compared to it just telling me Spider is a massive improvement for me.
Although, the fact that my species is both small and minor hurts my soul.
I mean, come on, I'm not small at all, I was bigger than the human that walked by yesterday, even if it was only by a few centimeters, but I was still bigger!
Ahh
Feel my tears.
Even so, I'm going to keep trying to level up to appraisal, I need to know exactly what skills I have.
DungeonwallDungeonfloorSmallrockLargerock
...it's been a while and it still hasn't come back up.
Although at least I confirmed that I leveled up, eh?
Heh, heh, heh... I'm not really laughing.
Although it could be because of 2 things that he didn't level up.
The first is because as soon as I got it the first time, on that little cliff or whatever it was, I unconsciously evaluated several species that were around.
The second may be due to the fact that if I keep scanning the same thing over and over again the "domain" would not be perfected that way.
Just to be on the safe side, appreciate every inch of my home.
But nothing happened.
That is sad
For now, I will stay inside my house, there is still a chance that the egg's parents will come.
As I tended the egg, one of the strands of my net began to vibrate.
Oooh, a dam.
It was about time; I was starting to get hungry.
I hope it's one of those 6-legged wolves.
I always wanted to try wolf meat.
I will not deny that I jumped up and down like a schoolgirl as I made my way to my prey.
...is another frog.
Elroe Frog
You again! How lucky I must be for the same species as before to fall into my trap again!
I wanted a fucking wolf!
Splat!
AHHHHHH
The fucker attacked me again while I was moaning.
I have never been more shocked in my entire life.
I'm so stupid!
...well, I've calmed down.
The pain itself helps the senses, who knew, right?
The bad thing, though, is that my stamina didn't level up.
Well, I worry about that later.
Climbing through the ceiling, I entangled the little frog in threads so it couldn't escape, I was especially careful in its mouth so it wouldn't give me another surprise attack like last time.
Chomp!
This should be enough to weaken it.
I know that the previous frog did not die immediately after I bit it, they must have some special resistance to withstand the venom of my bite.
But hey, the bite was only to weaken him.
I quickly made sure to restrain all his movements and took him inside the cave.
Then with the same speed I went back to the trap web threads to redo them.
Last time I carelessly ate the frog in my trap, when that was very dangerous as I could have been attacked while eating.
I can't afford to be careless; I don't want to die again after all.
After repairing my trap, I return to see the frog trying to escape.
The only thing he achieved with that was to become more entangled.
Hmpf
I guess a simple bite is not as effective as I thought.
Chomp!
The first time, I defeated the frog by biting it over and over again, this time digging my fangs deep into its neck, making sure to inject the poison well into its bloodstream.
Proficiency has reached the required level. The Skill [Venomous Fangs Lv1] has become [Venomous Fangs Lv2].
Yay
I raised the level of my venomous fangs.
A great victory for me.
While celebrating internally, the frog gave its last spurt and stopped moving.
I suppose that by increasing the skill level of the fangs I also increase the density of the venom.
Sweet!
Experience has reached the required level. The individual Little Taratect minor has risen from lv1 to lv2.
Hmm?! Wait for what?!
Ah, my body feels strange!
Am I shedding my skin?!
What the fuck is going on?!
All basic attributes have increased.

H-hey! Wait a second! What did you just say?!
Could you repeat that?! please!

Proficiency has reached the required level. Ability [Poison Resistance Lv2] has become [Poison Resistance Lv3].

Proficiency has reached the required level. Skill [Gluttony Lv1] has become [Gluttony Lv2].
Skill points acquired.
Thank you!
So, I just leveled up, which means that the experience for killing 2 simple frogs was more than enough to level up to level 2.
This means that the more frogs I kill, the faster I will level up.
Well, that's fine for now.
My real question is, how come I have gluttony if I don't even have the title of ruler of gluttony! And his other cheats skills!
Also, taboo did not level up, so I did not get it in a conventional way.
What the hell is going on.
It must be the work of D.
But why on earth would I get gluttony of all things.
Do I have your title?
Nah, I'll most likely get it if I level it up.
Although that explains why the food tastes so good.
Also, looking at my body well, the shedding of skin helps a lot, my whole body has been healed to the maximum.
My vision also returned to normal.
For now, as far as I can tell, if I level up Gluttony I will get his title plus the additional abilities that come with that title.
I must have collected mastery for that skill from eating and tasting my sister and the frog I caught.
Although I don't feel any different hunger than before.
Does gluttony only count as a skill and not interfere with my digestive system and/or my diet?
So far this is my only explanation.
In itself, gluttony is both good and bad.
I don't know how to feel about that.
Well, for now I'll just bother to eat this guy right here.
Itadakimasu!
