Kumo had of course still some feelings towards the human race. But he wouldn’t let those feelings dominate his new life in his eyes he wasn’t a human anymore. After reincarnating he was a spider demon now, his karma as human had ended.

Not to mention that this was a new world, so he didn’t owe anything to the humans of this world. Besides he already lifed a year as spider demon, why should he become a traitor among the spider demon race.

If it was other demon clans he might have been disgusted by their behaviors. But the spider demon clan was among the laziest clans, they generally didn’t leave their territory and waited for food to walk into their mouth.

So for humans or other intelligent beings it was extremely easy to avoid them. This actually made him even more determined to life as spider demon. In the human world a lazy person wouldn’t be appreciated, but here among spiders you would be the weird one if you aren’t lazy.

Of course he would chose to stay with the spiders. Besides their was another thing, in novels the heavens always favored the humans, but in this world this wasn’t the case. And this made sense, after all novels were written by humans, but this was a real world so how could the heavens simply favor a certain race.

He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts by a dominating aura. He had arrived in front of a cave, and from how dominating the aura was, he could definitely tell that the spider living in that cave had a noble title, it might even be a queen.

Currently his strength was around that of a lord, but he didn’t have the lord title. This made him have less authority on spider demons compared to spider demons on the same level. And the spider demon he was facing now was even stronger, facing it he just wanted to quickly go back and hide in his cave.

A beautiful black spider came out of the cave, he could tell that it was a natural beauty among spider demons. Of course as a human who reincarnated as spider he didn’t have much sense for the appearance of spiders, but his spider bloodline made him appreciate her beauty.

She looked at him and it felt like getting judged by a heavenly empress. The pressure made him feel completely helpless, but luckily she retrieved her pressure and started speaking.

Suspected spider queen : „i haven’t seen you before, and you even seem to belong to a rare and unique kind of spider species. But i don’t think that’s what you are here for, tell me what brought you to me?“

He couldn’t help but shiver upon hearing her words, because her expression was telling a completely different story. It was as if she was already expecting him to visit her. But he shouldn’t be surprised by that, of course the spider queen would notice him if he was living in her territory.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

So he quickly answered „on the way here i encountered a few human hunters that seemed to be hunting a dragon. I initially followed them but after losing track of them i decided to come here.“

Of course he could tell her about the bad feeling he had, but his senses definitely wouldn’t be sharper then the senses of the queen. So if he was aware of danger then she was definitely to.

She looked at him weirdly and then spoke „dragons and spiders are friends and have been living in harmony since ancient times. Not to mention that dragons, cat demons and us spider demons formed together the alliance of sloth. I will tell you the location of the young dragon they are looking for it’s a temporary guest on this mountain we can’t let anything happen to it, i will send help later but you go first“.

After receiving the location he quickly left, for cultivators it was hard to get lost as long they are told the location. Spiritual sense allowed them to exchange spiritual maps. It was a map formed of spiritual sense, people with spiritual sense could mark locations on it or simply make a map from their own spiritual sense. It was very convenient, you could even put markings to tell about dangerous places.

What he didn’t know is that the spider queen looked after him strangely as he left. She had only one thought in her mind „who is that“. As spider Queen she naturally knew about all spiders in her territory. But she never met this spider before, even more shocking was that the spider showed the potential to become a spider empress.

A potential empress suddenly appeared in her territory how could she not be shocked. She had known about the invaders long ago and already prepared a trap. But she changed her plans now, she would use this chance to test out the new potential empress.

As for being jealous, or worried about a empress Being born? Why should she? A new spider empress was a good thing not to mention who cares about such struggles. It wasn’t in the style of the spider clan to get jealous of others. They would all have their own territory and not bother each other. They might fight sometimes, but usually only if foot shortages happened.

After all what race would fight amongst themselves if their was enough food for all people? Only when they fought against external enemies would they unite and fight and even then it was difficult to gather a big amount of soldiers. That was also the reason why spider demons usually had small territories they were to lazy to do things like steal a territory from someone else.

But now a new potential Empress had appeared, a spider Empress had the authority to command all spiders. Of course she had to be tested, not to mention the queen had already many of ideas for other tests. How could the queen just watch a potential Empress waste her potential? She would test and guide her, and this was the first test after all a Empress had to know how to deal with allies and enemies.

Kumo meanwhile was walking in the direction the spider queen told him about. He wasn’t worried anymore, after meeting the Queen the bad feeling had dissapeared, there was still a feeling of danger but it wasn’t lethal danger anymore so he wasn’t to worried. No instead he was a bit excited he would have his first fight and with the protection of the spider queen he wouldn’t have to be worried.
