*Scratch
*Goof
Laone went wild on the matchbox as he set the cocoons up in flames, some of the cocoons contained small spiders and they exploded on contact with the flames. A cruel method to do away with one's enemies but he did what he had to do. His plan was fire, one of the most destructive elements of nature once they get riled up.
A circle of flames surrounded him and everything else was engulfed, including the humongous water spider. All the while the deaths of the newborns added more stats to Laone's system. He noticed some burns on his skin but they disappeared as quickly as they became visible but this did not mean it was not painful.

The spider's mouth unlatched and unleashed a toxic breath freezing on point anything it came across. Its face displayed a disgusting grin of victory, all of its eyes looked down at the male omega with a sparkle of superiority emanating from them. Armors of ice glazed it exoskeleton and shined back at now weary adventure, Laone stood his ground with a torch in his hand and a box of matches in his mouth.
The spider shot webs at Laone and he tilted his torch towards them, the webs froze it over. Het let it go and started fleeing backward, Arachnia fled the ceiling and broke apart the bridge. Laone hoped over to another one and looked back to the spider that had dived underneath the now frozen body of water.
Realizing that it would be straight-up suicide to try and run back he ran forward. Jumping in the ice and running on top of it was not his best material by far but he had another plan. Just as he finished putting the plan together a rumble came up from underneath his steps.
It was the spider rocketing through the water, it rapidly turned into nothingness and alarmed Laone. A few inches longer was all he needed to do away with this overgrown tarantula.
*CRASH!
The spider rammed the ice on the soles of Laone's shoes, sending him flying high up above the waters. That was not the only thing she broke though, next to Laone was part of a bridge Laone was desperately trying to get to. It was wrecked to shards and it all came together in Laone's brain, his plan was near completion.
Midair Laone grabbed and pushed all the shards he could through the body of the spider. The spider fell back into the water taking Laone along with it, inside the water it appeared to have been rejuvenated. Moving faster than it was before it started sculpting Laone into a mess of a man, on his last breaths the void took over again for him and started chomping away at the spider.
Once again my consciousness faded to black and only came to when I was on the other side of the body of water. In my hand was a half-eaten monster orb that most likely belonged to the Arachnia since I could no longer sense its presence anyway. This means that I was eating weird shit again, sigh, I walked over to the river and looked at my reflection, and apart from my hair and eye color changing into blue nothing much changed.
It did not look cool at all, my girlish appearance made it seem as if I was some street girl seeking attention. No matter what happens I cannot be seen in public like this, I will be stoned to death. My eyes grew wider and as I realized my hands had also turned into an armor resembling that of the spider I apparently just killed.
I tried standing up and tumbled back into the ground, next to me was the monster orb. A notification appeared in front of me and explained their uses, I took it and started eating it while reading the notification. When I was done I realized that I was done, another sigh escaped along with my nervous breaths as wondered if it was normal for human to be eating monsters. Raw ones for that matter and they did not even taste that bad, I wonder how they would feel cooked.
Oh well, at least the monster meat granted me tons of gang energy which I immediately started investing. Focusing more on my mental and emotional part rather than my physical strength. My void counterpart seemed to be taking care of that aspect, even if it was not by much. Eating the monsters seemed to be speeding up my healing.

"Shop? Interesting," I clicked on the shop icon and the first thing that popped on my face was the search bar, looking through the available list I realized why the search bar was so bold. It was like a maze in here but at least everything was grouped into small icons but there was still a gosh darn lot of options or at least 6.
Six that I deemed important to me.

I clicked on knives and daggers option and bought myself the most expensive dagger to look pretty in my eyes.

"Yes please."

"Cool," my first ever weapon appeared in my hand before I could enjoy the beauty of its vine design handle. The blooding red spots on the blade that was made to appear bolder by the green handle.
I immediately went to customize it, I added ice magic to the dagger's splattering ability which cost 4 DIAMONDS. It might seem like a careless trade but remember that I still have fire spiders to fight.
I slit my wrist with the dagger and it took the blood in finishing the last part of my customization. I did not know what type of power the void within carried but I believed that it would come in handy fused with this weapon of mine.
The pain on my wrist disappeared along with the wound, odd. I pressed forward after blowing half of my rewards on cold-related products. The plan this time? Well it is a simple one, I am hungry.
The world started disappearing from behind me and I faced the heat rising up in front of me. My senses were getting sharper and sharper as per level and I was at level fifteen. And I was dragging orbs from within the walls straight into my storage.
Sounds of the spider's henchmen approaching got louder and louder, but I knew they still had a long way to go until they reached me. So I just walked at my own pace, scratching the ceiling with my out the world ideas. My lungs started getting warmer and warmer and I knew that it had arrived.
The cold that I had earned from eating the cold Arachnid was starting fade away and the armor broke off leaving me with my original skin. The first spider attacked and I clobbered it with my bare fists which were as you can guess ineffective in stopping it but more than enough to bring back half of the void to the surface.
This time I did not let it swallow me whole, I was interested in the feeling of going wild and tearing away at their exoskeletons with my teeth. My canines protruded and I felt them lightly scratch my lower lip and the savage within me saw the light of day.
With an equally overgrown length of nails I ripped the spider apart and ate it, and god every bite burned my lips. It was here that I first realized my masochistic nature, I was not aware of it before but all this pain was exiting. And my heart would only start to beat faster and quake the world around me with excitement I felt as the spiders ganged up on me.
At some point I felt sexually harassed as they chocked me with the attempt to flee. Pressing up against me and making my pheromones leak, I became a complete beast. Maybe the stimulation was too much to handle because I lost myself and everything faded to black.
My ability to think like a normal person came back to me and surrounding was a one-sided massacre. The notifications were so wild I did not even care about paying any form of attention to them. Something about me gaining resistance to fire and my once blue armor was switching sides. The most important notification I ingnored was probably this one.
