After finishing dinner, every spider goes back to their lair to rest, but some come out from their lair. It's their guarding system—a group of spiders works in the daytime while another group operates at nighttime.

  "Ahh..." Saze sits on the ruined block, yawning and stretching as he speaks. A wave of tiredness and drowsiness sweeps over his mind, making his eyelids feel heavy. His body begins to shake slightly, and Finty notices him.

  "Want to sleep now?" Finty glances at him.

  "Ah... yes..." Saze rubs his eyes slightly as he answers Finty. Today, Saze does many things, such as exercising, studying, cooking, and practicing arcane magic. The last task results in him getting beaten up by Finty. The physical and mental fatigue naturally makes him feel exhausted.

  After a simple bath in a pool area, Saze heads to his lair, an oval-shaped chamber that is open at the top. It was made by Mon, and inside are the clothes he wore when he was on Earth before transmigrating to this world.

  "Ahh!" As Saze turns in, he accidentally presses on his broken leg and screams in pain. He quickly fixes his position and closes his eyes. As he shuts them, his thoughts rush through his mind, focusing on his power.

  The power system in this world consists of the first stage to the sixth stage. The greater the number, the stronger the individual, and each stage has three levels: low level, mid level, and high level. To reach a higher stage, there are two ways: performing a ritual or practicing arcane magic. The ritual is the fastest method, but it lacks experience and technique in arcane magic, while practicing takes longer but provides a lot of experience and technique.

  Each stage brings immense benefits, such as improved responsiveness, increased maximum mana capacity, and enhanced arcane magic. As Saze realizes this, doubt creeps in—maybe he has transmigrated to a game world.

  Currently, Saze is at the first stage low level. He needs to improve his wind arcane magic through more practice. Although Finty and Moty can perform a ritual for him to quickly reach the second stage, he wants to advance through practice.

  Many thoughts flood Saze's mind, making him giddy and unable to sleep. He opens his eyes with a heavy sigh and gazes at the starry sky. The leaves of the trees cover most of the sky, but they don't block the brightest star overhead.

  "Agh...! I shouldn't speak ill of Finty..." Saze whispers, feeling regret. His leg is broken, and he attempts to change his posture, but the pain prevents him. He silently complains that Finty used her power to break his leg.

  "I thought you slept," a cold voice sounds, making Saze tremble instinctively.

  "Finty? Why are you here?" Saze sits up and sees Finty standing next to his lair.

  "I'm here to heal your leg," Finty says with a smile.

  "Really?!" Saze exclaims in surprise.

  Finty doesn't reply but steps into the lair. Although the space is small, it is just enough for two people, though it feels crowded. Finty crouches, stretches out an arm and opens her palms. A visible green wave emanates from her hands and flies toward Saze's left leg.

  "Ah..." As the green wave approaches, a comfortable sensation washes over Saze, making him moan involuntarily.

  "Feeling comfortable? You can beg me, then I'll give you more." Finty smirks with a teasing tone. "Pleas... um!" Saze covers his mouth with two hands as if he intends to beg Finty for more.

  Finty chuckles at his words, and after a moment, the green wave fades and Saze's broken leg heals. Once the green wave fades, she presses and squeezes Saze's left leg gently, then looks at him.

  "Alright, it's done." Finty sits down and speaks.

  "Thank you, Finty! You're the best! You're the lord! I'll do everything for you!" Saze shouts happily and tries to move his left leg.

  As expected, the bone reconnected, and Saze felt no pain while moving it. At this moment, he no longer hates Finty, his feelings shift to happiness.

  "If I ever find out that you complain about me to others, then next time it's two legs," Finty sneers.

  "I-I won't do that again! I promise!" Saze gulps and feels a chill run down his spine.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Well then... anyways, we can't sleep; let's just chat," Finty says to Saze.

  With that, Finty doesn't give Saze time to talk and just pins him down and embraces him. This sudden act makes Saze's brain stop working for a while. After a moment, he realizes what Finty has done.

  "Fi-Finty... c-can you... release...m-me...?" After being embraced, Saze starts to stutter when he speaks.

  "It's more comfortable to lie down and talk. Aren't you comfortable too?" Finty says with a teasing tone and embraces him even harder.

  "mmm! I can't breathe...!" Saze's voice is muffled by Finty's chest.

  Apart from his mother's hug, this is the first time Saze is hugged so tightly by a woman. Being pressed against a woman's body makes him feel flustered. His heart beats faster, and his face becomes redder.

  "Alright, alright, I'll stop." Finty chuckles and lessens her hold on Saze. "Ah... finally..." Saze takes a deep breath.

  "Since you've talked about your life in... Earth, are you interested in my life in this world?" Finty asked while stroking Saze's head.

  "Yes! Of course! I want to hear about your story." Saze says and he finds out that he enjoying her touch.

  "I was a spider before..." Finty speaks slowly.

  Finty is a spider before, not a human. She is born in this forest, and at that time, the dark web spider is not that much; it is only twenty-three and lives in this ruined palace. Dark web spiders do not hunt while not adult, but they watch aside.

  Dark web spiders are spiders that have the same IQ as a ten-year-old child, which means they can think. This is their capital to survive in this forest and also their unity.

  "Wait... how do you become human if you are a spider?" Saze is confused and asks.

  "I am aberrant. Aberrant is when those creatures turn to human form; it is caused by a majestic mana event," Finty answers him.

  "Aberrant... but how does the majestic mana event happen?" Saze asks another question.

  "If a fifth-stage or higher-stage creature or a person dies, it will make a majestic mana event. Those mana erupt out from the body and fly in all directions; sometimes, it makes a huge disaster," Finty explains.

  "The aberrant are those creatures who encounter that event and don't die. After that, they can gather those mana to make themselves stronger and turn to human form. Every aberrant is stronger than the people who are the same stage as them. A third-stage aberrant can fight a fourth-stage creature or person," Finty adds.

  Saze takes a hard gulp and says nothing but continues to listen to Finty's story.

  After she is born in this forest, she learns about the power of the dark web and venom. Just like this, she practices for five years and turns into an adult, able to hunt with other spiders now.

  "At first, it is easy and quick; sometimes we have a strong foe," Finty says slowly.

  After a couple of times of hunting, they meet a strong foe. It is a third-stage mid-level flaming dinosaur. This dinosaur's body is burning and uses flame elements. The flaming breath of the dinosaur burns all the spider silk.

  "That is a tough fight; however, in the end, we all pounce on the flaming dinosaur and kill it with venom, but many spiders die. After that fight, only four adult spiders are left," Finty says without any emotion.

  "I lose my parents in that fight. However, I don't feel anything in my mind. I just eat their corpse," Finty adds.

  That tough fight makes the dark web spiders weaker in the forest. They take ten years to recover, and during these ten years, they only hunt at the edge of the story.

  "But soon another disaster... also an opportunity. The forest suddenly falls into chaos for an unknown reason; every creature in the deep of the forest seems to lose their sanity and starts to attack every creature they see."

  "A fifth-stage low-level bizarre deer comes with heavy wounds. The deer has black fur and white spots and is about the size of Mon right now. However, the deer still attacks us, but there are many spider silks around the ruined palace." Finty strokes Saze's head again and hugs him tighter.

  The deer rushes in, breaking many walls; many broken walls right now are the traces of that fight. The strongest dark web spider at that time is Finty, a third-stage mid-level. She commands all the spiders to attack this intruder.

  After another tough fight, they win again, but suddenly the black fur deer's corpse bloats and gleams with a dark blue light.

  Bong!

  That's how the majestic mana event happens. At that moment, the powerful mana flies in all directions like a waterfall; it passes through the wall and hits the living things.

  All of them are going to die, but suddenly a wave of mana erupts out from those stone statues. It forms an arcane formation and protects every spider in the ruined palace.

  The arcane formation looks complex, with a circle as the outer edge and a pentagram with many designs and gleams with golden light forming and covering the ruined palace. These golden lights gather and create a light beam flying into the sky.

  At that moment, the powerful mana from the black fur deer and the golden light collide against each other. Soon, the mana becomes weaker; in the end, it becomes peaceful, and the huge arcane formation disappears.

  Those spiders cheer up and absorb the rich mana around them. After that, Finty's body starts to twitch, and she cries out in pain. Other spiders notice it and try to help her; after all, Finty is the leader of the spiders at that time.

  Finty's body starts shrinking and reshaping; her body becomes human, and her fur is replaced by pale skin. Her gradient blue hair grows, and finally, she becomes a human but faints.

  Three days pass when Finty wakes up. When she wakes up, she is shocked by her new body, which allows her to switch between spider and human forms. After that, it is just boring training and then going to see the human world.

  Finty travels to four countries, feels their different cultures, and learns about human thinking and emotions. When she returns to the forest, Saze appears in her world.

  "It has been seventy-two years since I was born, so... I am a seventy-two-year-old... aberrant. Alright, that's all... hm?" Finty notices that Saze has already slept.

  Finty smiles lightly, hugs him tighter, and closes her eyes to sleep.
