I died screaming.
They said the truck came out of nowhere. I didn't even hear it. Just a flash of headlights—and then pain. Everything after that was silence, until the void welcomed me.
But I didn't stay dead.
When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in my body. No arms. No legs. Just a tight, suffocating space and something twitching—eight somethings. Panic surged through me as my vision adjusted. The world looked… wrong. Fractured, as if I were seeing through dozens of tiny lenses.
Then the message appeared:
[Welcome, Spawned Dungeon Core: 00-00-0B. Entity identified: Lesser Cave Spider]
[Initiating Dungeon Master System…]
A cold chill crawled through my new body. I wasn't just reincarnated. I had become a monster.
No… worse. I was a spider. In a pit of shadows, deep beneath a world I didn't understand.
And I was starving.
