I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Spiders are amazing creatures. Although their fighting ability is not very strong, they can make creatures of the same size no match for them by spinning webs and using venom!

"I admit I like spiders! But that doesn't mean I should turn into one!"

Wang Lei roared at the top of the cave.

······

Wang Lei is an ordinary office worker whose only hobby is raising all kinds of spiders, including some highly venomous species!

He never imagined that arguing about the harmfulness of spiders online would cost him his life.

To prove that spiders do not attack humans unprovoked, he held his pet black widow spider (red-spotted spider) in his hand, took a picture, and posted it online.

Lost in the cacophony of "NB," he accidentally caught a red-spotted spider's leg between his fingers and was mercilessly bitten.

Before he lost consciousness, he came to the conclusion that spiders have no feelings, no matter how long you feed them, and that showing off will get you struck by lightning.

When Wang Lei woke up, he saw that there were countless spiders around him.

Who am I? Where am I?

After a brief moment of confusion, Wang Lei came to his senses. He had received nine years of higher compulsory education!

"Don't panic! There's only one explanation for this!"

'Yes! I'm dreaming! And it's clearly a nightmare!'

Wang Lei closed his eyes and kept repeating the same words.

"I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!..."

By constantly giving himself positive self-suggestions, Wang Lei has managed to escape many nightmares.

According to his conjecture, even if bitten by a red-spotted spider, there is still a chance of survival.

When I opened my eyes again, the surrounding environment was still unchanged.

Wang Lei slapped himself hard across the face.

Snapped--

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Wang Lei covered his face; the slap had completely shattered his illusions.

"Wait! What's that in front of me?"

A hairy antenna stood upright in front of me.

Wang Lei stretched out his hand, trembling. This could hardly be called a hand! It was clearly a spider's leg!

'I've turned into a spider?'

"I admit I like spiders! But that doesn't mean I should turn into one!"

Wang Lei roared at the top of the cave.

This can no longer be explained by science! This is clearly a scene from a novel!

"Is this what they call time travel? Why do other people reach the pinnacle of life after time travel, while I'm basically not even human anymore?!"

After calming down, Wang Lei could only accept this fact; at least he wouldn't have to struggle for a living anymore.

Wang Lei raised one forelimb.

"Oh—let my new life begin!"

Wang Lei got used to the eight legs and had to admit they were very flexible. Although there was still a slight sense of awkwardness, it wasn't a big problem!

After realizing his true identity, Wang Lei was no longer so afraid of these spiders, since he knew spiders very well.

'They're brothers and sisters after all! What bad intentions could family members have?'

Wang Lei was still pondering his next move when suddenly, he instinctively sensed danger coming from behind him and pushed off to the side.

click-

Where Wang Lei had just been standing, a spider leg was stuck there, leaving a few white marks on the ground.

Looking in the direction of the spider's legs, there was a spider about the same size as myself.

"Holy crap! Bro! We're on the same side!"

The spider ignored Wang Lei and charged forward again.

Wang Lei dodged its attack once again, speaking as he retreated.

"I'm warning you! Don't push me! I'm not that smart! If I get really tough, I'll even hit myself!"

The spider seemed not to hear, and approached step by step.

Wang Lei panicked a little. He remembered that if it were a Black Widow, the newborn cubs would kill each other!

Wang Lei backed away step by step. Perhaps because he was not yet familiar with his body, he tripped over something and fell to the ground with a thud.

As the spider drew ever closer, the threat of death made Wang Lei tremble all over, his body seemingly beyond his control.

'Am I going to get killed by spiders again? How ironic!'

"How could we possibly give up like this!"

Wang Lei dodged the attacking spider legs again, circled around it, and kept spinning. He had left a tuft of spider silk when he sat on the ground earlier.

After being entangled several times, the spider's movement was restricted, and it began to struggle violently.

How could Wang Lei possibly give it a chance to break free? He seized the opportunity, climbed onto its back, and bit down, instinctively injecting venom.

Just as this 'brother' stopped struggling, a mechanical voice rang in Wang Lei's mind.

'Ding! System activation successful! Character attribute panel activated!'

Skills: (Identification) (Venom 1) (Spider Silk 1)

Blood volume: 30

Suddenly, a row of data appeared in Wang Lei's mind.

'The system is finally here! I knew it! Everyone who transmigrates gets a system!'

He began trying to ask the system questions.

"System, where is this place?"

······

"System, how do I get back?"

······

"Hello? Sawadika? Moshimoshi? Speak up, System! System?"

I tried many languages, but the system didn't respond at all, yet the attributes in my mind were still there, very real.

The system came, but it seems it didn't.

Based on the system panel in his mind, Wang Lei deduced that this was no longer the original world!

Based on the level system, this should be a world similar to a game, and he's quite familiar with the monster-fighting and leveling-up process.

But the title is "Demon King," which is obviously a standard feature of other worlds!

Anyway, let's level up first! I doubt it'll really be like in the game where you can just reload and start over after dying!

Wang Lei glanced at the densely packed 'brothers and sisters' around him and couldn't help but laugh. These weren't 'brothers and sisters' at all! They were clearly moving experience points!

Having learned from his first experience, Wang Lei became much more adept at it, targeting lone spiders. His silk-wrapping combo was incredibly smooth, with almost no misses.

After taking down another spider, his experience bar reached (10/9), but his mana and stamina dropped by more than half.

'Just one more to get it done! Then it can upgrade!'

Just as Wang Lei was searching for his next target, he felt a sense of oppression coming from the depths of the cave. It was an oppressive feeling that ran through his blood, and he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Eight blood-red lanterns slowly approached from the depths of the cave. Wang Lei's eight legs trembled uncontrollably as he realized he could no longer control his body.

As the eight enormous red lanterns drew closer, Wang Lei realized that they weren't lanterns at all; they were clearly eight bloody eyeballs!

A giant, jet-black spider slowly emerged, and Wang Lei could sense that it was coming for him.

'Oh no! I got caught using a bug to farm monsters! Are they going to punish me?'

Wang Lei was very unwilling.

"Move!"

'Ding! Conditions met, skill acquired (Bloodline Suppression Immunity)'

As the voice in his mind rang out, Wang Lei felt a lightness spread through his body, and the oppressive feeling instantly dissipated. Without having time to think, he turned and ran.

This boss is impossible to beat!

Wang Lei ran along a path for a long time until he was almost out of energy, and then he stopped to rest.

"Phew—the game almost ended right there!"

Completely relaxed, Wang Lei finally felt hungry. Thinking about it, it made sense; he hadn't eaten much since birth and had expended so much energy.

"We should have eaten a few bites of 'brother' food at the beginning! Now look what we're going to do, where are we going to find food now!"

"Going back is impossible! I think I'm being watched!"

A sudden inspiration struck Wang Lei.

"Let's build a home first! And then hunt our prey like a spider!"

Wang Lei went to a corner and tried to climb the wall. He stood on it easily.

"Not bad! It has that Spider-Man vibe!"

I tried hard to recall what a spider looks like when it weaves its web.

"Actually, it's quite simple! You just need to do this first, then that..."

After what seemed like an eternity, the task was finally completed. Looking at the crooked and twisted spiderweb, Wang Lei inwardly grumbled.

"Who says spiders are born knowing how to weave webs!"

Looking at the tattered net, I felt no sense of security. After another flurry of activity, a sturdy three-section hammock hanging in the air was completed.

"Indeed! This is the correct use of a spider web!"

Lying in the hammock made of spider webs, Wang Lei finally felt a little safe. As sleepiness overcame him, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
