Acrain Forest
Not sure how much time had passed but I was jolted awake from severe pain all over my body. At first I thought I was being attacked but as I came to and my vision became less cloudy I realized I was just cut up and beat up as well as soar all over.
Trying to figure out the state of things along with my body I call out [Status] and [Notification].
Luckily the system is easy to use and friendly so they popped up like windows so I can switch between them without blocking out one or the other. For starters I focused my attention on my status screen to see if there are any severe changes or injuries.

Well for starters my stats look great and everything seems to be in order luckily I only lost about 1,000 durability from the encounter still not sure on how to recover it though unlike hp that recovers over time. Thinking about that I came to a semi conclusion that I may need a blacksmith but are there even any within my vicinity.
Brooding over that for a bit put me in a bad mood so I just decided to keep eating to increase my racial density hopefully it will make it harder for something to impact me and cause durability lost.
While looking back over my status screen I realized I still don’t have a name other’s can call me by if I meet any that may not try and attack me on sight. Not really sure if this world has and special ceremonies that grant you your name or not but seeing as I wasn’t supposed to exist or that I am even humanoid for that matter il just take a gamble to give myself one.
Now I don’t have the greatest naming sense or imagination but I think I really like the name Onigrakir, sounds mean enough fuckers wont mess with me but still reasonable that fiends won’t mind it I think. (Hey guys author here if you guys got any suggestions comment and we will see if any fit better thanks.)
After giving myself a name a whole shit ton of stuff just started happening I was lifted into the air and spun around like a spindle. Not sure if spiders get motion sick but I sure and the fuck am, as I was almost about to upchuck what remains in my stomach I stop spinning and all kinds of light start pouring out of me like the 4th of july. After a good while of me being a holiday a whole bunch of notification pings start going off and I am let back down softly onto the hard dirt.
Wondering what the fuck just happened I look at my status screen once more,
[Status]

Seeing that my name was changed and all was good but I got a new title from it, as I look at the information given about the title it shocked me a little:
Title: Force Named
Through forcing a name upon yourself going against the worlds laws
That state one need to have a naming ceremonies to receive the blessing of a name to separate beast from being. You have changed the strings of fate that bind you. Due to your actions you will now be identified by all intelligent species as an entity instead of a monster. However due to forcing a name some cultures may treat you with hostility and violence.
Also by forcing a name like none other solely bound to your soul you gain +50 to wisdom and intelligence as well as being immune to control impairing effects.
Threw gaining a name you have also been granted the ability to evolve as a special bonus due to your race.
Whew didn’t expect me giving myself a name would grant me all of that at least most is good but gota watch out for those racist fucks later on when I run into civilization.
Finished with looking at my status I pull up the notification window that went of like crazy sense the battle.

Holy fucking shit talk about a great way to wake up so far everything has been a great boost after almost loosing my life but a few things I need to check out first and number 1 on the menu is:
[Revival]

However due to the kindness of one of the last remaining goddesses she has granted you [Revival], This passive will allow you to revive at your last safe haven eternally until you are able to mend bonds with the universe to either reincarnate normally or go beyond mortality.
Well hot fucking damn thank you goddess of fate, she seriously just saved my ass hard core, didn’t think me naming myself would have permanently caused my ass to go poof. Up next is,

Whew another great batch of bonus applied defiantly helps my survivability. After I got done looking at all the new things I gained I decide to switch my attention back to the stair case which granted me a lot of them.
As I approached the stairs I realized they had a crystalized cover that went over it and had no means to move it, at first I was about to give up but then remembered my body is now diamond like so I built up force in my foreleg and slammed it down piercing right in the center causing the cover to shatter.
As I stared down into the stair way I saw what I hoped was actual sunlight and not some pcp enhanced flora, knowing fully well that safety and alertness can save my ass I slowly move my way down the stairs further and further in. As I near the end it starts to flatten out leading towards what I do believe should be this cavern systems entrance.
Holding myself back from bolting into the open air and sky I keep my slow alert pace minding my surroundings would really hate to get fucken killed before I see the sky.
What seemingly felt like eons was actually only a few minutes but I finally reached the opening, as if I was just born I started to cry(Hiss) not sure but I cried seeing the outside world full of blue skies, white clouds and every now and then a giant flying fortress made of scales but either way I am alive.
As I calmed myself down and stopped my creepy and insane sounding cry I started to look at the forest in front of me, vast, luscious, dark and really green was all that came to thought. But none the less I am forever watchful
And as I peered further into the woods I saw beasts and monsters of all sizes and forms, some that looked like they came straight from hell others that seemed natural before it’s face and antlers split apart showing a black void that sucked a fucking giant bear inside then closes it and went back to eating grass like it didn’t just fucking happen.
You know I accepted it was a fantasy world sure, dragons sure, me being a spider sure why not, but a fucking deerhole(deer + black hole) ah hell fuck na. Give me some meds, give me back my unicorn stomped veggies. As I was going into a state of pure insanity everything else just kinda went bye bye.
After realizing what the fuck I was doing I calmed my shit and came to a quit understanding and that is the world is a fucked up place either suck it up and ram your cock down its throat to make sense or go lay in a ditch and die. I chose the latter, after being in the cavern I forgot some very basic things a spider has as an arsenal and that isn’t grade a poison goo or a fucking makeshift napalm, it was my limbs and my webs.
If the ground is dangerous take to the trees and if the trees are dangerous well you better fuck up whatever is up there because there are more ground based creatures, then ones in the air.
After deciding to build my new base up in the trees I approach a very thick and seemingly sturdy tree and begin climbing like a mountain climber with picks.
Instead of having normal barbed hairy legs my are smooth slender and durable so had to improvise. As I got higher and higher I was getting exhausted not because I was weak just that these fucking tree are fucking huge.
For hours I climbed until I reached the top of the trees and once I reached them I started to spin my black webs(yep there black and as strong as steel), endlessly spinning an intricate web spanning from treetop to treetop working my way down doing from trunk to trunk tell I ended about 150 ft in the air. Being satisfied with my work I start to prepare some fail safes by carving out one of the trees trunk creating a nice little burrow where the outside is coated endlessly with my thick sharp webs so whatever gets close will be sliced to smithereens before it even gets close enough to smell me.
After I finished doing that I decide its about time to go get dinner and what I have selected is a white giant hare, its exactly like a regular hare but its about the size of a horse and eats meat. But other then it being fast and having sharp teeth the shred its prey it is completely vulnerable from above. As I pick up ones scent I start jumping from the treetops getting closer to its vicinity before I lay my web and lower myself from above quietly and stealthy where I will then wrap my web around its body strangling it and cutting it up but if that doesn’t work I will use [ED] as a last resort.
Finally reaching its destination I begin to prepare myself and have [ED] already ready in my gut just in case, as I start to lower myself I quietly spin some web to use to capture it and as I get a mere 5 ft from its crouched body(Bam BAM baM), what sounded like gun shots alerted the hare and as soon as it stood upright it almost bolted and got away but not before I quickly shot out the [ED] causing it to start dissolving.
Before It could escape because I didn’t use a lot to kill it because I need to eat but just enough to cause severe bodily damage to limit its maneuverability. I quickly wrap its body and hook it too one of the tow lines I had prepared beforehand that uses a very large branch as a counter weight to haul it into the treetops.
With tonight’s dinner being secured and safe I then focus my attention in the direction from where the loud shots came from. With no visible beasts or creatures in the vicinity I start to head in the direction to find out if there are sentient beings around me or if it was just a tree falling or a beast’s battle.
Keeping to the treetops I cover mass amounts of ground and I pick up a strange scent that triggered a memory(Gunpowder), And as far as memory serves only humanoid beings can make it. Picking up my pace I get to the edge of the forest line that opens up into a circular clearing with smoke rising and endless noise.
Keeping to the shadows I observe the humanoid beings but they all come in different shapes, sizes, color and features that are strange and new to me. While keeping a watch I start to notice that they are all wearing the same uniform, and armor while others have a symbol this leading to one conclusion there either a mercenary gang or there here on orders from their country to expedite the area.
But going just off of looks and efficiency their here on their country’s orders, not really sure of the reason not do I care but I continue to observe trying to learn as much about my first encounter with sentient races other than the fucking goblins that barley count.
Noticing slight differences in their uniforms I come to the conclusion the more stripes the higher their rank along with different greeting’s each one uses but while I was observing them unbeknownst to me I was under a watchful gaze as well with an unknown outcome.
