Arthur wakes up in a cave. "Ugh, where am I," He says sleepily and stands up from the rocky ground.
[Hibernation complete: 258% increase to all stats]
Arthur looks at the screen. "Hibernation?" he says in a questioning tone. His eyes go wide. 'How long have I been asleep?'
[Would you like me to calculate the full length of your hibernation + evolution time?]
'Yes please'
[You fell asleep around midnight 29th of Dec. 114. The time is currently 5th of April 116]
Arthur's face drops. "A little over a year??" He shouts
[Correct. You were in hibernation, presumably because of your new Arachne genes. Until late March. Then the new incredible strength you unlocked after speaking with Maria took about a year to unlock.]
"incredible-?" Only now Arthur noticed his new huge muscles. The clothes that didn't fit him before now do. His chiseled abs were being pressed up against his wool shirt.
Bringing up his arm he can see that his biceps and triceps have grown tremendously as well, not to mention his legs.
The clothes even seemed a bit small. Also, he noticed that he was a bit further from the ground from before, otherwise known as getting taller. "Hey what should I call you?"
[Just refer to me as System]
Arthur takes a deep breath. "what's my status System?"

Arthur looks at the list in confusion. "System is this impressive?"
[Very much so Arthur. The average adult human has about 15 across the board. People who train regularly will have higher strength and agility. Smart people will have high precision, perception, and Charisma, although charisma can be higher if you're naturally charming. At last, defense is more racial, the human average is about 8.]
"You said, adult?" He said while brandishing his stats with a new perspective. "Wait how do you know my last name, I'm an orphan. I don't have one..."
[I can check the name given to you at birth]
"huh, why do I have the title son of a god?"
[Because you are]
"So 'Martin' was a god and my mom was a spider?" He asked in a confused tone.
[Possibly the other way around, but you will find out eventually]
Also, he noticed that he had indeed become older. Only one month left until his 18th birthday, that's a lot considering he was 16 when he last remembered.
Arthur turns around and looks when he notices a lot of webs. 'Uhmm how did this happen?'
[You did this in your hibernation.]
'That's not nearly a detailed enough of an answer, but whatever.' He moves forward with his hands out fully expecting it to be hard to get out of the way, but to his surprise, it bent to his will. Moving around like a creature with many limbs, sticking to stuff around when he wanted it to.
Bending the web away from where he was going he seemed to end up back at the water he was at more than a year ago. Except now the air was warmer. He inhaled a breath of fresh air and looked up towards the cliffside.
Then... He jumped. Using his new muscles and the arachnid's natural climbing ability Arthur quickly scaled the huge cliffside. He then climbed over the edge, where a certain redhead was crying. She didn't even notice Arthur strolling up to her. "Allison?" He whispered softly
Allison looks up surprised "Who are-. That hair, those eyes... Arthur?" she practically yelps while standing up. Throwing herself at him, Arthur catches her with ease "I'm sorry for making you wait." He said, stroking her hair.
Allison cries "You're real, you're back. How?" Arthur puts her down in the grass and strokes her hair "I was never gone, just delayed."
Arthur lifts her head to his eye level while laying in the grass and kisses her "I've missed you, Allison." She blushes "A peck on the cheek won't do anymore, huh?" she snickered while snuggling into Arthur's chest.
"How did all of this happen?" she says while feeling his muscles. "Trust me, I have no idea" He responded. "Maybe I should go to Marida, oh and Theodore." He says, pondering. "Just one more second please," Allison whispers hugging him tightly. While she was snuggling with him, he got an idea
'Hey, System can I check her status?'

'Banshee and faerie... Quite interesting' Arthur smiled as Allison was snoring quietly on his chest. He picks her up and begins moving towards the orphanage.
He walks through the trees arriving at a path, made of bricks. 'They've been busy... This used to be made of gravel' He thought. He walked down the path, seeing a sign pointing to another path "Kael Orphanage" He follows it with Allison still in his arms, like a princess. Then he arrives, the orphanage looks the same, he remembers it quite well, because it only felt like a moment since he was here.
He walks to the door and knocks.
