How much time do you spend on computer games each day?
Not that much. About three days each week, I think?
You'll definitely die from that someday.
Oh, my…
Sorry about that, Wakaba.
My hand slipped.
Are you ignoring me?
You're so annoying.
I'm so sleepy.
Hey there, Sir Prince.
Oh, it's you, Hugo.
Aren't you a prince as well?
Besides, unlike me, who's the fourth prince,
you're the crown prince of the Renxandt Empire, right?
Isn't this the perfect role for me?
If someone out there had reincarnated me,
I would say he has a discerning eye.
I must be God's chosen one.
Talking about being chosen by God,
isn't your brother a hero?
Yes, that's right.
Isn't he a reincarnation?
Julius isn't one.
I've only heard stories about him.
They say he's super strong, right?
Just how strong is he?
Julius is really powerful.
He saved a village under attack by a group of monsters,
cleared the dungeon that everyone said was impossible,
and even defeated A-Class monsters all by himself.
He's indeed the strongest human!
The strongest human, really?
You sure seem to be obsessed with your brother.
Of course.
I have a dream in this world
which is to fight hand-in-hand with Julius.
What?
Fighting hand-in-hand with the strongest human.
Quite the grand dream.
Well, I'm still far from it.
Work hard then.
But in any case,
I shall inherit the title of the strongest human soon.
Oh, God.
Fei? What's wrong?
This must be my retribution.
Retribution?
What do you mean?
Just look at Hugo,
you, and the other reincarnations.
It's weird that
I have reincarnated as a non-human.
That's not true.
That's true.
I mean, you and Hugo are princes.
The other reincarnations aren't that bad either.
It's good enough to be able to reincarnate as a human.
But what do you mean by retribution?
In my previous life,
I've been bullying Wakaba, remember?
That's why I'm the only one reincarnated as a pet.
I'm sure of that.
I'm not trying to atone for my sins,
but I just want to live this life as a proper being.
Well, I can't believe that my owner is my ex-classmate.
This must be some sort of a penalty game.
Well, sorry that
my looks aren't up to your standard.
I'm just kidding.
Good morning.
Good morning, Ms. Okazaki.
By the way, Oka, you're searching for other reincarnations, right?
That's right.
But there are some whose whereabouts I still don't know.
Have you found Wakaba?
Hiiro Wakaba, right?
I still don't know where she is.
Is that so…
I wonder what she's doing after being reincarnated.
Don't worry.
We all somehow got by without knowing what's going on,
and we're all enjoying our lives.
I'm sure Wakaba's doing well too.
I hope that's true.
You again?
You won't get your way!
This settles it.
Now let's bring it back to my safe house!
Venom Fang has increased to level 2.
Oh, my skill level has increased!
My poison's even stronger now!
What?
My body…
You have accumulated sufficient experience points.
-The Small Lesser Taratect -What is this?
-has increased from level 1 to level 2. -Did I molt? And what about my level?
Obtained skill proficiency level-up bonuses.
Poison Resistance skill has increased to level 3.
Spider Thread has increased to level 4.
Skill points obtained.
What? Wait a minute!
Did you just mention something really important?
Hello? Please repeat yourself again!
Let's see…
Does that mean since I leveled up,
my body was transformed?
My body feels so light,
and my eye injury's healed too!
My damaged eyesight has recovered!
So I will be fully healed each time my level increases?
What an awesome benefit.
This makes me feel as if I'm in a game,
and that's a little scary,
but it's too late.
I mean, I'm already getting a little excited about this now!
Did something get caught again?
What a great harvest today.
I won't ask for much,
but I just hope it's not another frog.
I said it's fine as long as it's not a frog,
but I didn't expect a human to get caught in it!
What is this person doing?
It's so hot!
What was that?
It seems my house isn't safe enough.
All right, let's expand the house!
It's done.
Now allow me to introduce…
This is the house I expanded and remodeled myself!
This is the kitchen.
There's no water from the tap.
This is the living room!
There's nothing showing on the TV.
And this is the bedroom, the area that I'm most proud of!
This soft pillow is my favorite.
And I've improved the disaster prevention measures,
in light of what happened the last time!
If the prey is caught in the web, I'll be informed with these spider threads.
They are set up in all directions!
So if anything happens, I can respond immediately!
My home sweet home's so cozy!
I'm hungry.
In celebration of my new house,
shall I take a look at that thing?
I've kept this for this special occasion!
It's the egg that the human risked his life to get.
It must be worth a lot!
It could be some delicious and rare delicacy!
With that…
I'm digging in!
I guess it's expected to be hard since the egg's so big.
However, I'm no simple spider!
Let me show you my wisdom as an ex-human!
I'll do this…
Then this…
Next…
And finally, this.
Seriously?
It's so hard.
What is it made of?
It's going to be hard to break this.
Besides, what egg could this be?
Egg.
How is that even useful?
Appraisal skill has increased to level 2.
My Appraisal level has increased!
Small Lesser Taratect. Nameless.
I can see my species name now!
It's much better than level 1.
But I can't believe that I'm small and lesser.
It feels like I'm an inferior creature.
Well, my previous life wasn't much better anyhow.
Nothing changes even if I worry!
Let's get my act together and identify this egg again!
Earth Wyrm egg.
"Earth Wyrm"?
Like, dragons?
They exist here? No wonder it's an alternative world.
I guess it's too soon for me to be a dragon slayer now.
I'll just keep it so that I can break it in the future.
Almost all the spider threads are reacting.
There are not just a few of them!
Fire!
Why is this happening?
Torches? It's humans!
Could they be here to exterminate me?
If this goes on, I'll either be burnt to death
or meet my end as the humans hunt me down.
I'll go this way.
That's the last spider web.
I'll be safe after I cross this!
There's no safe place here anymore.
I have no choice.
When facing opponents that can break through spider webs,
my only choice is to run.
How upsetting! I'm so pathetic!
I hate that I can only run away!
Unforgivable…
I hate that escaping is my only choice!
I hate myself for being so weak!
In my previous life,
I had no place where I belonged to.
I couldn't get used to life in school.
My family fell apart.
Mine…
Mine alone.
That place belonged to me, and mine alone.
I don't want to run away anymore.
I don't want to lose!
I want to be strong.
I must be strong.
In order to not let others take away my pride,
I have to live on with my head held high!
In order to achieve that,
I need to have actual combat experience!
SMALL LESSER TARATECT, LEVEL 2 NAMELESS TITLE: KIN EATER
SKILLS: LEVEL 2 APPRAISAL LEVEL 2 VENOM FANG
LEVEL 4 SPIDER THREAD LEVEL 9 NIGHT VISION
LEVEL 2 POISON RESISTANCE LEVEL 2 ACID RESISTANCE
LEVEL 1 ABSTINENCE LEVEL 1 HERETIC MAGIC, N%I=W, SKANDA
What?
For the past few days, I've been fighting monsters to increase my level, but…
I…
I'm so darn weak!
Oh, shut up!
What's up with that "weak"?
I'm happy that my Appraisal level has increased,
but did you have to say "weak"? You're annoying!
I mean, I'm very weak,
but I think it's because of my fighting style.
Although I'm all beat up,
I still won in the end.
In any case, I didn't expect to have so much trouble with a frog.
Since I've only been killing prey
that fell into my trap by using my poison,
I never realized that was a problem.
They're actually quite strong.
Or is it because I'm weak?
And those lizards too.
Why do they have Petrification as a special technique?
I was lucky that I removed the petrification after leveling up.
If I hadn't been able to do so…
Nevertheless,
I trapped them both in spider threads and killed them with Venom Fang!
But still,
I'm unable to fight my opponents fair and square.
Since my stats say "weak"!
Thinking back on all my fights,
my strengths are only my spider threads and my poison.
I'll figure a way to trap them in my threads
then kill them with Venom Fang.
That's the only way!
But figuring out how to trap them is also a problem.
There are so many things I need to work on.
But now that I've decided to live on with pride,
I can't falter here!
Now then, let's buck up and explore the labyrinth again!
A chance for a pre-emptive strike!
I get it now.
I can use my spider threads as a pre-emptive strike.
An ambush!
What? I'm despicable?
It doesn't matter, as long as I win!
What was that?
Is there something down there?
ELROE FERECT, LEVEL 2
My head hurts!
Appraisal skill has increased to level 5.
What?
Something's coming up…
They're coming after me!
Is SP referring to my stamina?
It's not the time to think about that now!
If I don't want to die, I have to run as I mean it!
I finally shook them off somehow.
Could it be that I run very quickly?
I didn't expect such a big group of them,
but I guess it's normal.
Monsters need to find a way to survive as well.
So they rely on collective strength to fight enemies.
Then what about me?
I have my usual method of using spider thread traps, poison,
and also ambush attacks.
And with the agile movement, I just realized
I can just trap them with my threads after an ambush attack.
If that doesn't work, I'll use my agile speed
and find a chance to trap it while dodging the enemy's attacks.
I came up with a strategy!
However, I shall rest today.
As long as I have these spider threads,
I can defeat my opponents…
Or not…
What's going on?
This is bad.
Although I don't know what's going on,
I have a bad hunch.
It's so huge! And it's level 9?
If I don't get my act together, there's…
no chance of winning!
Open spaces are dangerous!
I must get into narrow passages.
Spider webs and walls are useless!
It's probably better to run, but…
I won't run.
I already know my own fighting style.
I will show you what I'm made of!
Even if it can break the spider threads,
I can still slow it down.
If that's the case…
I'm right here!
It's not just big, it's also fast.
This isn't fair.
However, I won't lose in terms of speed!
Over here this time!
One more!
I have sealed its mouth!
I won't let you kill me!
Take this!
No way I'm letting go.
Just die already!
All right!
See that?
I won, even though I'm weak!
You have accumulated sufficient experience points.
Your level has increased to level 10.
Skill points obtained.
You have attained sufficient skill proficiency.
Spider Thread skill has increased to level 7.
Venom Fang has increased to level 6.
Night Vision has increased to level 10.
Pain Nullification has increased to level 2.
You have fulfilled the pre-requisites.
Skills derived from Night Vision.
-Visual Field increased to level 1. -I leveled up to level 10 in an instant?
And so many of my skills increased in level!
Of course, my experience increases when I defeat a stronger opponent!
This is the reward for my hard work!
You have fulfilled the pre-requisites.
The Small Lesser Taratect
may evolve.
What did you say? "Evolve"?
There are two evolution routes.
Please choose from the following options.
Hold up.
I need to think this through.
This is the turning point for me,
so I can't make a careless decision.
What should I do?
If I choose lesser, then I will have a bigger physical body.
If I choose small, will I become an advanced creature
but remain small in size?
Okay. Please let me evolve into a Small Taratect.
Well, I don't want to keep evolving as a lesser creature.
It'll be a problem if I lose my current flexibility and speed too.
Commence evolution into a Small Taratect.
You're not giving me time to prepare?
Let me have more… time…
Fei?
Hey, Fei!
What do you want?
It seems that Earth Wyrms have many types of evolution.
Have a look.
Let's see…
If you're going to evolve,
you should aim for this!
It's not only cool, but it also looks strong.
You don't like it?
Do you think a woman cares about
being cool and strong?
I guess you're right.
Sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
I'm just a Wyrm now,
so of course, it's better to be strong.
By the way,
Earth Wyrms have been appearing around here recently.
Now that's a rare sight.
They appeared in a forest near the school.
Furthermore, someone was killed.
Although I can't do anything about it,
I still feel bad
that a creature from my race killed someone.
I hope there will be no more victims.
STAY TUNED!
