Hey.
You're probably wondering who I am…well, I'll tell you.
I'm your average guy; you would find all around the world.
Yeah, not really special, sorry. I can't really lie to you now, can I?
You see, I really like anime. Like…a lot!
It's so fun watching anime, reading manga, and even light and web novels during my free time.
Right now, I am a 21-year-old with my own job working at a restaurant and a cashier.
One may mock me for working such a job, but hey, at least it's not soul-crushing, am I right?
Oh, right, you don't know my name.
My name is Noah, just Noah.
At the moment, I was heading home late at night because of my damn job.
I swear, they must be trying to get me kidnapped or something.
This is the Bronx for crying out loud!
Have they heard of the crime that happens around here? It's utterly stupid to have someone walk during the night.
I don't want to be kidnapped or something like that, so of course, I was scared.
The only thing that kept me moving was the thought of watching anime and reading web novels since tomorrow, I did not have any work, so I could spend all my time inside.
I don't really have friends, so it's not like I have anything better to do.
In fact, it's one of the reasons why my parents kicked me out so soon.
They were tired of me constantly staying indoors and not socializing, so they gave me enough money to get myself a small studio apartment.
After that, they stopped supporting me financially, so I had to work all by myself.
One would say they're bad parents, but it's not like they're necessarily wrong.
I don't socialize, that's true.
I'm anti-social as hell, an introvert, but yes, I am thinking of one day socializing.
After all, I still want to get laid one day, smash a hot woman too. Of course, I don't want kids, not in this economy.
As I reached closer to home, I heard something from behind, something loud and rolling, metal clanking, and a shining light that stretched my shadow.
"Huh?"
Slowly turning my head, what I saw was a bright light that shone directly into my eye, blinding me completely in the darkness.
As I saw this, a great force touched my body, something cold and metallic to my skin, and the next moment, I saw darkness instantly.
But that didn't seem like the end.
The very next moment, something else.
I felt something else.
Something…thin and soft.
Even stranger, as I tried to move in this darkness, it felt…off, like I had more than 2 arms, no, 2 legs, no, I…I wasn't sure anymore.
I kept trying to move, hitting whatever this surface was until a crack appeared, allowing the light to crash into this darkness, blinding me briefly.
Ahhh! What the hell?
Reaching out, I kept breaking and breaking until I crawled out of this container, and then I looked around.
…h-huh?
A cave?
Where the hell am I?
The walls were rocky and earthy, coated in blue moss.
But even stranger was what I saw around me, I saw monster-like spiders clawing all around, white in their color and fur, with bright blue eyes.
W-Where am I!?
I tried to crawl out, but no sooner did I realize something shocking…
…m-my arm, where's my arm!?
My body!
These are spider legs!!
I scrum in my mind, frantically escaping the egg that escaped me, dropping onto the floor feet first, but I could not move as this new body was alien to me.
"W-Where the hell am IIIIIIIIII!!??"
I shouted in fear, realizing I had become a monster spider.
