[00:14] K
    I'm alive...
[00:15] K
    And it is fantastic to have survived.
[00:19] K
    What am I gonna do now?
[00:23] K
    Aren't craters supposed to
    be from meteor impacts?
[00:28] K
    Next time I run into that thing,
     I'm totally dead.
[00:31] K
    I can't count on getting more
    lucky breaks like I just did.
SIGN    Hiding
[00:36] K
    The only thing I can depend
    on is this skill.
SIGN    Stealth
[00:38] K
    My best option is to stay out
     of sight, and stay alive.
SIGN    Monkey, Wha—?
[00:54] [SONG] ---
    I'll weave a web under my heart
[00:59] [SONG] ---
    I'll weave a web around this dark world
[01:04] [SONG] ---
    Beyond a twist of karma, what became visible
[01:08] [SONG] ---
    Is being surrounded by enemies,
    thousands of prideful, writhing creatures
[01:13] [SONG] ---
    dive for alive, climb for life
[01:15] [SONG] ---
    No extra lives, in total chaos
[01:18] [SONG] ---
    I guess that makes this my stage, then
[01:22] [SONG] ---
    You think this is the end?
    But I'm not finished yet
[01:25] [SONG] ---
    Betting my life while perched
    on a thread, even if I lose sight of you...
[01:28] [SONG] ---
    I hunt you down and gobble you up
[01:33] [SONG] ---
    deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper inside
[01:38] [SONG] ---
    spider pride, there's a hardened
    heart chiseled inside of this chest
[01:43] [SONG] ---
    The optimal choice won't be enough to cut it
[01:45] [SONG] ---
    When trying to survive
    with your life in tatters
[01:47] [SONG] ---
    Think like the alternative is gonna kill you
[01:50] [SONG] ---
    Reach for the winning strat
    until the very last second
[01:52] [SONG] ---
    The truth of the situation
    might feel a bit cold
[01:54] [SONG] ---
    In that case just survive the spider way
[01:57] [SONG] ---
    I'll weave a web under my heart
[02:01] [SONG] ---
    I'll weave a web around this dark world
[02:03] [SONG] ---
    In that case just survive the spider way
[02:06] [SONG] ---
    I'll weave a web around this dark world
[02:07] [SONG] ---
    Just you watch
[02:16] K
    After I said I wasn't
    going to run anymore...
[02:22] K
    Yet here I am, on the run.
[02:26] K
    I hope this path takes me somewhere safe.
SIGN    <Elroe Greshigard
    A mantis monster that dwells in the Lower
     Stratum of the Great Elroe Labyrinth.>
SIGN    The Great Elroe Labyrinth Lower Stratum
    An area located between the Middle and Bottom Stratums
     of the Great Elroe Labyrinth.
    Habitat to a fair number of powerful monsters.
[02:56] K
    The Great Elroe Labyrinth's Lower Stratum?
[02:59] K
    I guess I'm just finding out this place is
    called The Great Elroe Labyrinth.
[03:02] K
    And I'm on a lower level,
    along with these powerful monsters.
[03:07] K
    Not sure I'm glad to learn that.
[03:10] K
    Is it just me, or is that mantis
    stronger than the snake?
[03:13] K
    It's probably not just me! Maybe those
    snakes are the small fry around here!
[03:19] K
    No, no, no! It's just that
    the mantis is too strong—
SIGN    Greater Taratect LV18
     An evolved form of the spider monster Taratect.
     Carnivorous, with potent venom.
[03:33] K
    Am I going to look like
    that if I evolve a bunch?
[03:37] K
    There's no way I can handle it right now!
[03:40] K
    Guess I'll eat anything that looks like
    I can take it and avoid everything else.
[03:46] K
    Sneaking around is turning out to
    be my main option for survival.
[03:52] K
    Ugh, I haven't slept at all. This sucks.
[03:59] K
    I've gotta eat before this
    meter is totally gone.
[04:04] K
    That being said, I think I'll manage,
     as far as food goes.
[04:08] K
    After walking long enough,
[04:11] K
    I've noticed that there are monsters from
     the upper levels in the Lower Stratum.
[04:14] K
    And the thing they all have in common is...
SIGN    Elroe Academy
[04:18] Monster
    Here they come!
SIGN    Poison Frog
SIGN    Venomous Snake
SIGN    Venomous Spider
[04:21] K
    It's that we're all poisonous!
SIGN    The Lower Stratum's Toxic Gang
[04:25] K
    Man, I love being toxic!
[04:28] K
    Even if I get noticed, they might ignore me!
SIGN    Elroe Gastruch LV3
     Status appraisal failed.
[04:36] K
    These snails...
[04:38] K
    They're all over the place. I wonder
    why no one's trying to eat them.
[04:43] K
    Only one way to find out! Time to chow down!
SIGN    <<Thank you for enjoying this show's brief run>>
     So I'm a Spider, So What?
SIGN    THE END
[05:08] K
    That was a seriously close one!
[05:10] K
    What the hell, man?!
[05:12] K
    That's out-of-this-world nasty!
[05:14] K
    Like if you left food waste out in the
    middle of a heatwave for a few weeks
[05:17] K
    before stewing it in spoiled milk!
[05:21] Voice
    Proficiency level has risen.
SIGN    <Rot Resistance LV2 -> LV3>
[05:24] Skill
    Rot Resistance Level 3.
[05:27] K
    Hey! What kind of build are
    you trying to push me into?!
[05:32] K
    I don't want to ever put anything like
    this in my mouth ever again, but...
[05:36] K
    But...
[05:38] K
    I really hate wasting food!
[05:49] K
    I think eating these things will be my
    serious, last-ditch, absolute desperation move.
[05:58] K
    Can't really tell without
    being able to see the sun...
[06:03] K
    But it feels like I've spent
    days traveling down this path.
[06:08] K
    I seriously have no idea where I'm going.
[06:10] K
    What am I gonna do if this takes
    me to the Bottom Stratum?
[06:15] K
    Let's not imagine the worst case scenario!
[06:17] K
    I bet it leads to the Middle Stratum.
[06:21] K
    Right?
[06:27] K
    Let's try for a decent meal this time.
[06:30] K
    And the second I mention it...

SIGN    <Elroe Randanel LV7>
    <Status appraisal failed.>
SIGN    <Elroe Randanel LV8>
    <Status appraisal failed.>
[06:35] K
    I guess that's what you'd expect from the
    Lower Stratum. They're pretty high level.
[06:39] K
    One's Level 8, and probably
    on the verge of evolving.
[06:44] K
    Not that it's gonna live that long!
[06:49] K
    Oh, yeah!
[06:51] Voice
    The conditions have been met.
[06:52] Voice
    You have acquired the title
    "Poison Master."
[06:56] Voice
    Due to the effects of the
    Poison Master title,
[06:59] Voice
    you have acquired the skills: Poison
    Synthesis Level 1 and Poison Magic Level 1.
[07:03] K
    Hey, more poison, huh?
[07:04] Voice
    Proficiency level has risen.
[07:06] K
    Guess I got poison all over!
    It's practically raining poison!
[07:07] Voice
    Skill: Poison Fang has risen to Level 8.
[07:21] K
    That certainly was a meal.
[07:24] K
    Now, then...
[07:25] K
    Let's check out these skills.
SIGN    <Poison Magic>
    <Poison Synthesis>
[07:27] K
    What've we got here? Poison Magic...
[07:30] K
    I still have no idea how to use magic,
    so we'll set that aside.
[07:34] K
    Poison Synthesis?
[07:37] K
    Guess I'll just try and make it happen...
[07:40] K
    Whisper...
[07:42] K
    Pray...
[07:43] K
    And then... chant!
[07:47] K
    Visualize it...
[07:50] K
    Here we go!
[07:51] K
    Poison Synthesis!
[07:55] K
    Yeah, that's how life goes, I guess.
[07:58] K
    Wait, something happened?!
SIGN    Poison Synthesis Menu
    Weak Poison • Spider Venom LV8
     You can synthesize these poisons.
[08:00] K
    Guess I'll try it out?
SIGN    Weak Poison
[08:08] K
    I guess it's great that I have it
    but... how am I supposed to use it?
SIGN    Puddle of Weak Poison
[08:12] K
    Maybe put it in a bottle?
    Not that I have one!
[08:15] K
    And that made my MP gauge go down!
[08:18] K
    Yeah... hmm.
[08:21] K
    Kinda iffy.
[08:23] K
    Well, compared to how useless magic has been,
     at least I know how to use this!
[08:32] K
    Man, I don't know what they expect
    me to do with this empty-ass cavern.
[08:38] K
    I'll follow one of the basic rules of exploring
     a dungeon: stick to the rightmost wall.
[08:44] K
    Man, this place is seriously huge.
[08:47] K
    It's inside a dungeon, but doesn't
    feel claustrophobic at all.
[08:50] K
    It's nothing but rocks, but it feels as
    grand as being out in the wilderness.
[08:54] K
    Skittering through this place underscores
    how seriously insignificant I am.
[09:00] K
    In my past life, I could watch stuff on
    TV about secluded parts of the world,
[09:04] K
    but it never made an impression.
[09:06] K
    It felt like the beautiful sights I was seeing
     might as well have been from another world.
[09:12] K
    But now, I'm right in the thick of it.
[09:15] K
    This is the world I live in!
[09:18] K
    I'm not just visiting,
    and I can't afford to be aloof!
[09:22] K
    Something's coming.
SIGN    <Bagragratch LV14>
    <Status appraisal failed.>
[09:33] K
    What the hell is that scary thing?!
[09:36] K
    Better get out of here before he catches on!
[09:41] K
    Wh-What now?!
SIGN    <Bagragratch LVs6-12>
    <Status appraisal failed.>
[09:47] K
    For now, I need to escape!
[09:50] K
    They're that strong,
    but they still hunt in packs?!
[09:53] K
    I've got no shot!
[09:59] K
    A monkey?
[10:00] K
    Seems different from the others...
[10:03] K
    So fast!
[10:05] K
    Seriously?! I better try something else—
[10:07] K
    This is bad news!
[10:08] K
    One punch from this guy could
    squish me permanently!
[10:14] K
    Having to deal with rapid fire one-hit
    kills is totally terrifying!
[10:23] K
    You got impatient and took a big swing!
[10:25] K
    And now that I've wrapped up your punches,
    I have nothing to fear from you!
[10:28] K
    How's that?! You mad?
[10:31] K
    Th-This is bad!
[10:40] K
    I'm alive...
[10:42] K
    Seems kinda like he screwed himself
    with that one, but a win's a win!
[10:45] K
    And you lose!
[10:57] K
    Did... Did I get him?

[11:04] Voice
    Core stat values have increased.
[11:07] K
    That last scream scared me,
     but I leveled up!
[11:11] K
    In that case, I may as well dig in.
[11:16] K
    That was quite the meal!
[11:18] K
    Little guy wasn't very bitter at all.
[11:21] K
    Not that he tasted good, per se.
[11:25] K
    Really makes you realize how incredible the
    pigs and cows back in my old life were.
[11:31] K
    Tired.
[11:32] K
    I haven't slept at all, so the second
    I got a full stomach, it hit me.
[11:37] K
    I'm gonna need to think of a way to get some
    decent rest, or I'm liable to collapse.
[12:02] K
    Bring me more meat buns...
[12:11] K
    What is this? All of my
    hairs are standing on end!
[12:22] K
    Ouch!
[12:26] K
    Are you kidding me?!
[12:28] K
    I even made sure to camouflage
    my web, so no one would notice.
[12:32] K
    Maybe the last breath of that monkey had
    some kind of special marking scent on it?
[12:37] K
    Are these guys here for revenge?!
[12:41] K
    I can't fight such a huge mob!
[12:44] K
    I've still got time before
    they can climb up here!
[12:50] K
    Huh? Something's different about the rocks.
    I can't climb any higher!
[12:56] K
    No other choice, guess I'll head sideways—
[13:03] K
    Ow! Ow—
[13:06] K
    Nowhere to run...
[13:10] K
    As basic as it is, this is still my house!
[13:14] K
    I have to fight!
[13:22] K
    Ow!
[13:24] K
    Damn it, they're not flashy,
    but those rocks hurt.
[13:26] K
    And they're already halfway up the wall.
[13:31] K
    If I had something I could drop on them...
[13:39] K
    Poison Synthesis!
SIGN    <Spider Venom LV8>
[13:42] K
    Eat this!
[13:51] K
    They're trying to sneak in from the sides.
[13:54] K
    I can't afford to waste MP,
[13:56] K
    so I won't be able to dump poison on them.
[14:00] K
    Okay! That'll hold them in place!
[14:02] K
    And buy me some time!
[14:07] K
    Not gonna give me time
    to collect myself, huh?!
[14:11] K
    And again!
[14:13] K
    These things are smart!
[14:16] K
    I wish they were smart enough to realize killing
     a harmless spider isn't worth the trouble!
[14:22] K
    And is it me, or are there
    even more of them?!
[14:25] K
    What do I do? Seriously, what?!
[14:28] K
    At this rate...
[14:29] K
    I'm screwed!
[14:34] K
    Okay, I can stack these guys up like a
    barricade and give myself some time to—
[14:42] K
    U-Unbelievable...
[14:44] K
    They'd rather die than get in
    the way of their comrades?
[14:50] K
    It isn't about what there is to gain.
[14:53] K
    This fight between me and them...
[14:57] K
    isn't going to end until one side is dead.
[15:02] K
    Have you forgotten how weak you are?!
[15:05] K
    You're not just outclassed right now,
[15:08] K
    you're facing enemies who don't
    care about their own survival!
[15:11] K
    There's no slick, feel-good
    way out of this one!
[15:17] K
    Oh, no!
[15:38] K
    It hurts...
[15:39] K
    So bad!
[15:43] K
    I can't do this anymore.

    Just in the nick of time. Will I make it?

    Th-That was so close!
[16:07] K
    Being healed is great, but now
    I'm out of my turf advantage.
[16:12] K
    I've got another option, but if it
    doesn't work, I'm totally screwed!
[16:20] K
    Then again, the alternative

    I should've noticed from

[17:18] K
    These are the evolved form of those monkeys!
[17:22] K
    I'm gonna need to cast
    more sticky webs fast!
[17:28] K
    How're you picking that
    up like it's nothing?!
[17:31] K
    Whoa—
[17:34] K
    Are you kidding me?!
[17:35] K
    If even one of those hits me, I'm toast!
[17:38] K
    And now I've got less ground to stand on.
[17:41] K
    If I have to fight while worrying about
    my footing, I'm going to leave myself open.
[17:45] K
    And these guys aren't gonna
    let that chance slip by.
[17:47] K
    No time to hesitate! There.
[17:50] K
    That just leaves...
[17:55] K
    I guess they really are learning.
[17:58] K
    They're spreading themselves out to provide
    as much footing as possible to the others.
[18:06] K
    Some are taking the fall to
    make sure the path is clear!
[18:09] K
    But the longer they keep this up,
    the thinner their numbers will become,
[18:14] K
    and by the time they reach me,
     they'll be wiped out!
[18:18] K
    That assumes those three don't
    try anything, though.

    Time to do whatever it takes!
[21:41] [SONG] ---
    More and more with the brute force
     to pour on skills by the ton!
[21:43] [SONG] ---
    To tear them up and
    shred them to bits AHHHH!
[21:46] [SONG] ---
    I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die!
    I wanna survive, I wanna survive!
[21:48] [SONG] ---
    I'm gonna live no matter what! AHHHH!
[21:51] [SONG] ---
    I'd really like a break from
    living in this crappy game
[21:52] [SONG] ---
    I kinda thought a reincarnation
     would be a chance to enjoy life
[21:53] [SONG] ---
    Why did I have to get such
     a brutal start?! Seriously!
[21:54] [SONG] ---
    You're gonna pay for this, Administrator D!
[21:56] [SONG] ---
    It's pitch black in the
    grand labyrinth again today
[21:57] [SONG] ---
    And I'm betting it all on survival still
[21:58] [SONG] ---
    I guess it's fun in it's own way but
[22:00] [SONG] ---
    I seriously don't get it,
     I mean, why I'd have to be
[22:01] [SONG] ---
    A freaking spider?!
[22:05] K
    Serves you right!
[22:06] K
    I might be reincarnated as a spider,
     but I'm still alive!
[22:10] K
    And I survived again!
[22:13] K
    Looking back...
[22:14] K
    When I had to run after being
    blown away by that Earth Dragon,
[22:18] K
    I felt like I was being choked
    with fear and frustration
[22:21] K
    from being forced to break the oath
    I made when my house was burnt down.
[22:25] K
    And I had to run to stay alive!
[22:28] K
    And this time, yet again,
    I've managed to survive a fight!
[22:33] K
    I'm so happy! This is so great!

[22:49] K
    Oh, right! Level 10, huh?
[22:52] K
    I guess I jumped up a few
    levels, back there...
[22:54] K
    Let's leave the evolution for later, though.
[22:57] K
    I don't want evolve in the
    middle of nowhere, after all.
[23:01] K
    Come to think of it, there weren't any
    monkeys coming from this direction.
[23:06] K
    Hey, this path is heading upwards!
    Maybe it'll take me to the Middle Stratum?
[23:11] K
    Yahoo! Up I go, up I go!
[23:14] K
    And I can finally say goodbye
    to the danger zone!
[23:18] K
    Maybe it's from the excitement, but I've
    been feeling warm for a while now!
[23:21] K
    Not that I know if spiders can
    get hot under the collar!
[23:27] K
    Hopefully this'll be a little easier...
