Of course kumo could just run away and leave this mountain forever. But then he would probably have no more place in the spider clan. After that he would have to spend his time constantly hiding or he would have to find the support of humans to move in with them.

As for other clans? They wouldn’t take him, demons who betray their alliance are nowhere welcome. And besides that even tho he wanted to mainly relax, he still wanted to reach the full potential of his cultivation. If he just wanted to hide and relax he could have chosen the evolution path that focuses on stealth, but that’s not what he wanted.

He chose the path with the most potential, because he wanted to reach the top of this world. Once he was the world’s strongest he would be strong enough to safely leave the mountain and he would be able to travel the world.

By then he will even have gotten completely used to being a spider and will probably have forgotten his identity as human. He could travel the world, marry a cute arachne and build a home for them.

After that he would spent the rest of his life with her. He didn’t want to this before becoming the strongest before becoming strong. It was simply because it was to dangerous, this world was extremely chaotic.

Not to mention his appearance here was a bad omen already. He is from a foreign world and has a system. No one could tell him that his appearance on this world was by accident. Before he found out the secret of the system he wouldn’t be able to relax.

He got rid of the distracting thoughts and started forming a battle plan. He didn’t really have any ranged attacks, he could spit poison but his evolution was focused on spells so who knows if he could even spit far enough. The only spell experience he had was about curses and even their he basically knew spells. But luckily he had an idea, if this idea worked he might have an attacking method.

His idea was simple, he had the ability to do mental attacks. But he wasn’t confident to take them out with mental attacks. Especially since he hadn’t learned yet how to read the cultivation level of humans. So he simply gave them a new realm name he named it „stronger then me till proven weaker then me realm“.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

It was quite a mouthful but that was what he genuinely thought. Since he didn’t know how strong they are the safest strategy would be to fight as if they were the endboss of a rogue like rpg.

But luckily he had his body of fear, so his idea was simple combine his understanding of his body of fear, with curses and mental attacks. Normally this would be impossible but he had already spent a year in his body of fear.

Not to mention he later found out that the body of fear made it easier for him to use spells related to fear or rather curses. It seemed like the system didn’t tell him everything about this legendary physique.

He started practicing and it took him and entirety of 30 minutes till he got the spell ready. He was so immersed that he didn’t realize that the humans had already reached the dragon.

Human with sword : „so this is the dragon? It’s a shame that we have to resort to violence.“

Human without sword: „we need the heart of a dragon, not matter how greedy dragons are they won’t agree to sell their own heart“

Human with two swords: „dragons are way to arrogant anyway!!! Just because they have the monopoly among dragon part sellers they charge ridiculous prices!“

Human with sword: „that’s true i heard of a legendary cultivator who once made the world tremble with fear. But now he is at the end of his life span and needed dragon blood to continue living. But the dragons refused to lower the prices so he was eventually forced to sell his own son just to be able to afford it.“

Human with two swords: „i heard about that apparently that cultivator had a daughter and a son, he wanted to originally sell the daughter, but enraged the daughter challenged her own brother. The loser would have to be sold, it’s said that she easily beat him with a single move.“

Human with sword : „i heard about that girl and she is terrifying. I even heard that after beating her brother she freed her brother from the slave traders and fled, leaving her father with a huge debt. But she is so beautiful that she attracts trouble everywhere, it’s said that by now she has beaten up over a hundred young masters and she and her brother are hunted by dozens of sects but she continues to manage to escape and make them experience losses. It’s absolutely terrifying, with such talent she might be the next female overlord."

Human without sword : „ok enough of this, we already reached the dragon. It’s time to attack before it notices us it’s best if we can kill it within 20 minutes otherwise reinforcements might arrive.“
