I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Spider: Recently, I encountered something that completely shattered my worldview. As you all probably know, the world I was reincarnated into is like a game, where you can see the skills you use.

I am Subaru Natsuki: ? Like in a game, you can see the skills you're using? What do you mean? You didn't seem to have mentioned that.

Spider: Hey, I thought everyone knew that. After all, the skills on the chat group's product page are clearly priced, aren't they?

I'm Subaru Natsuki: Yes, although the price is clearly stated, even if we learn it, it's impossible for it to be directly displayed in front of us like a chat group's system page. Spider-ko, I think I understand what you mean. You mean, your world is like a reincarnation light novel, where everyone can see their own skill panel in front of them? Right? Just like a chat group?

Spider: Yes, yes, as expected of a fellow reincarnated companion, Subaru Natsuki knows a lot about things.

Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Hmm, now that you say so, I understand what you mean a little better. Please continue.

Spider: Okay, everyone understands now. Subaru Natsuki, you should know that in light novels like mine, which are about reincarnated monsters, there's usually this concept of evolution, right? Through multiple evolutions, I've become a monster much stronger than before. That's why there are so many skills on my system panel.

Spider: These skills are not only my instincts, but they can also be clearly displayed. They're really amazing, and there are even all sorts of explanations for them. They're super convenient.

Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): From your description, it is indeed very convenient.

Spider: And what I'm about to say is related to this skill. Today, when I was observing my own skills, I just casually made a self-deprecating remark. Yeah, like this: [Wow, why isn't there a next advanced skill after my skill level improved? That's a bit of a shame.]

Spider: I just made a slight complaint, and then I heard Miss Voice of Heaven suddenly relay a message to me. [Superior Manager D has accepted the request and is building the skill [Wisdom]. Building complete, conditions met, integration begins. LV10 has been verified as integrated with Wisdom.]

Spider: How was it? How was it? This is absolutely mind-blowing, isn't it? It's terrifying. Could it be that the so-called higher-ups in this world, D—that is, the god—have been watching me all along?

Spider: To be honest, skills shouldn't exist in the normal world that can be directly viewed, right? Leaving aside chat groups, Subaru Natsuki's reincarnation wouldn't allow him to see his own skills. Your [Return by Death] was something you figured out yourself after dying; no one's going to kindly construct a panel in your head listing all the skills you can use, right?

Spider: I only realized the anomaly of this world today. So, I'm worried. Could it be that I've been reincarnated into a game, as one of the NPCs, and the administrator is the game's administrator? What about the players? What about the protagonist? Where are they?

Spider: To be honest, if it weren't for the ability to travel to other worlds through the chat group, I'd doubt whether I'm truly alive. Wait, I've never used this chat group's ability to travel to other worlds. Could it be that this chat group is also a tool of Administrator D, and everyone here is actually an administrator? Am I the only NPC?

Spider: How scary, how scary! So scary I can't move, so scary I can't speak.

Spider: So, everyone, is there anyone willing to come to my world? Or is there anyone willing to buy a regular quest for me to accept and then transfer worlds?

Future Promising True Lord (Zhongli): Hmm. From your description, I've become somewhat interested in your world. Is it possible to display all the skills intuitively in a panel format? That's a very good technology. In Minecraft, there's a similar system called [Eye of God], but it's not as intuitive as what you've described.

The Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Perhaps, I can go to your world and take a look.

Chapter 5: A Youthful Romantic Tale and the True Sister Complex of Kousaka Kyosuke

The Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): If something happens, I may be able to travel to your world to calm your mind.

Spider: Really? Mr. Zhongli? Really?

Spider: Whew! Let me take a deep breath and calm down. Take two deep breaths.

Spider: Whoosh! Whoosh!

Spider: Thank you so much, Mr. Zhongli. Your reply has truly calmed my mind a bit. However, I regret to inform you that my chat group system points haven't reached 10,000, so I can't unlock advanced tasks. To be honest, I can't even afford the 1,000 points needed for a basic task. But your granting of my request has put my mind at ease a little.

Spider: Thinking about it carefully. If it's an existence like a god, why would it focus its attention on me alone? I think this higher-level administrator, D, must be watching over all life in this world, and I'm just one of them. Among all the people in this world, there must be protagonists who can be heroes, kings and princesses who can be supporting characters, and even little monsters like me who aren't even NPC grunts.

Spider: I'm only slightly better off now. Just a short while ago I was being chased to the death by earth dragons, how can I still have the energy to think about these things now? I guess I ate something good, which made me a little dizzy.

Spider: So, thank you, Mr. Zhongli. I will call upon you when I really need you, but it's not time for that yet.

The Promising Future True Lord (Zhongli): Well, in that case, you can proceed as you have considered all the details.

I am Subaru Natsuki: Thinking about it, I remember Spider said that the level of chaos and inertia in her world is actually quite high. Could it also be related to this system and this so-called superior manager D?

Spider: I've already become a Buddha, I'm free from all desires, and I don't want to think about anything complicated anymore. Please stop stuffing these things that make me anxious into my brain.

Genji (Yukinoshita): I just arrived and saw that Spider-chan has been talking so much. I guess you're quite pitiful too. However, what's a little puzzling is that Spider-chan, you seemed to have mentioned that your reincarnation was caused by a white light, right? That white light should have clearly covered the entire classroom, right?

Spider: Hmm, hmm, yes, yes.

Makoto (Yukinoshita): Well, based on all the isekai (another world) reincarnation light novels, manga, and games I've been reading lately, shouldn't the people covered in white light already be dead? And shouldn't the dead have all been reincarnated into this world? Is that possible?

Spider: This... um... this... um...

Spider: Well, I hadn't really thought about that. But, thinking about it, it's definitely possible. Thinking about it this way, are all my classmates in this world too? My dearest classmates? Suddenly I'm fired up?

Spider: Oh no, I don't feel motivated at all.

Spider: To be honest, I don't really remember my classmates. Back in school, I was practically invisible. Nobody cared about me, and I didn't care about anyone else. What I liked and remembered most were the days I spent playing games alone at home—so many games! Ah~~! I really envy those days when I could play games freely. Miss Zhenwu, if you ever have the chance to start a mission, please let this spider participate. This spider really wants to play games.

Spider: Speaking of which, I think Yukinoshita's name appears in the games I play and the light novels I read.

Spider Girl: A very famous light novel. Yes, I remember now, it's called "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected". Yes, there should be a few more words after that, but I can't quite remember.

Genuine (Yukinoshita): ??

Kato Megumi: ? ?

Spider: Oh, right, Ms. Kato Megumi. Thinking about it now, I've read a novel with you as the heroine, but I can't remember the details at all. On the other hand, I still vividly remember Ms. Yukinoshita's novels.

Spider: Hehehe~~! Who told you to be my favorite long, straight, cool, intellectual beauty? And the male protagonist, Mr. Beechcraft, is also quite amazing, leaving a deeper impression on me than other novels.

The real thing (Yukinoshita): Spider Girl!!

Spider: ? What's wrong?

Masamune (Yukinoshita): Can you write down everything you still remember about me, in detail and word for word?

Spider: No problem, no problem, but so Yukinoshita-san is someone who cares so much about her future? Hehehe~! I originally thought you were the kind of person who would proudly stand up, close the classic literature book you were just reading, and, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, say something like, "I am the master of my own destiny." That was my deepest impression of you from the book.

Genji (Yukinoshita): It's unpleasant. Subtly, it's somewhat true, which makes it even more unpleasant. If it were the old me, I might have really said that, but after the chat group and the example of that awful classmate, I know that I don't need to react too strongly to the historical fate depicted in books. Whether it's vehement opposition or complete acceptance, it's all wrong. So, Spider-ko, you absolutely have to write down all your memories so I can see exactly which guy I'm having this coming-of-age romance story with.

Makoto (Yukinoshita): However, when I think about light novels, I feel a little uneasy. I should be one of the girls the protagonist encounters, right?

Spider: Yes, that's true. But...

Spider: The other important female lead the protagonist encounters, who is also your friend, the three of you are in the same club? Something like that. I don't remember it very clearly anymore.

Genuine item (Under the Snow): White Album 2?

Spider: Oh~~! Oh~~ Miss Yukinoshita knows about this game too? It does seem a little similar, but I still can't remember the specifics. I only remember that the second female lead's nickname is "Dumpling".

Genji (Yukinoshita): I understand. Spider, you just need to write down what you remember in a private message for me.

Spider: No problem, Yukinoshita-san.

Sister's Kill (Kousaka Kyosuke): Me! Me! Me!! Miss Spider, do you still remember my name, Kousaka Kyosuke? He should also be a character who appears in a light novel.

Spider-Girl: Perverted siscon Kyosuke Kousaka!! I remembered it too!!!

Spider: I remember!! Putting aside the game, you actually confessed to your blood-related sister in the novel!! That's terrifying!!!

Sister's Killer (Kousaka Kyosuke): Huh??

Genuine item (Yukinoshita): ? ? @Sister's Killer? ?

Kato Megumi: ? ? @Sister's Killer? ? +1

I am Natsuki Subaru: ? ? @Little Sister Killer? ? +1

Chapter Six: We Are the Demons of Spiders and Dust

---We are spiders.

---Where was I born? I have absolutely no idea! I only vaguely remember it being in a damp, dark place. It was there that my family first met our mother.

Our mother is vast and powerful, beyond our imagination.

---What frightens us even more is that our mothers would pick up their forelimbs, plunge them fiercely into the bodies of their offspring, and then stuff them into their mouths, chewing them up in large bites.

We were so frightened that we lost our composure and ran away. Thus began our life of endless wandering in this maze.

---We have killed poisonous snakes, eaten poisonous babies, hunted wasps, wiped out monkeys, eaten disgusting insects that were extremely unpalatable, and even encountered earthworms twice!

---But we were very lucky. Although we encountered many crises, we did not die. We were even spared from being killed by the earth dragon twice.

---We are still quite resilient, aren't we?

----And now, we are once again faced with a life-or-death choice.

The world of skills.

It belongs to the Eluros Labyrinth.

Middle layer.

A small, pure white spider lay outside the thick lava. It had sharp, metallic claws and four round eyes. It was Spider from the chat group.

The reincarnated girl closed the chat panel in front of her and sighed as if in realization.

"Ouch~~~~!"

But in his mind, he thought of all the things he had experienced from his reincarnation until now.

The chat in the group just now, although it eased her fear, did not completely calm her mind.

She tried to find clues about the time of this reincarnation from her own memories.

But after thinking for a long time, apart from recalling a white light, he couldn't grasp the key point at all.

"Ouch!"

Spider sighed again.

"Cheer up, Spider! You're supposed to escape the maze alive, live a life of luxury, accumulate a huge amount of points, and play games in the worlds where other group members are. How can you be so lazy?"

*Slap slap!*

The spider stretched out its two forelimbs and smacked itself on the forehead twice, which made it a little more awake.

"Never mind, I'll just grab a couple of eels to satisfy my craving. If only I had rice, eel rice! Oh, that would be so delicious."

She continued talking to herself as she slowly made her way forward on the few remaining rocks outside the lava field.

She's using herself as bait to lure the eels out of the lava river.

As the saying goes, "If you don't go to the tiger mountain, how can you catch the tiger cubs?" This perfectly captures the essence of military strategy.

.......

Dungeon world.

Bell slowly opened his eyes and looked at the extraordinary demon god before him—the God of Dust, Gui Zhong.

He bowed deeply.

Thank you for your guidance.

He has always been a polite and kind person, and he has always kept himself in that regard.
