Chapter 2 - The encounter with the mysterious spider

<[Paralysis resistance LV 1] acquired.>

<[LV 1 Paralysis] acquired.>

<[Mimic LV 1] acquired.>

Well, after a day and a half of being glued to that thing I can finally do SOMETHING

I'm not sure it means everything they told me,

Great wise man, what does all that mean?

"It seems to mean that the user acquired skills, titles and resistances"

I already knew that

"It seems that the usurer acquired the racial ability of mimicry by digesting the life form."

Oh great!

Can I copy the giant spider then?

"No, you can only transform into beings that you have assimilated."

Well I can't expect much from this anyway

While I walk I see a frog

It seems weaker than the centipede

Well it's my chance

Great Sage, if I remember correctly, can I imitate the centipede?

"That's right, however, it seems that you can only imitate 40% of his stats, including his abilities."

Well I have an idea

Silently I climb to the roof like last time

Just when I'm on the roof I tell the Great Sage to transform into the Centipede that we assimilated and I bite him.

Ughh?

Why isn't it moving?

What the hell

What is this

I can't move either

On that rock...

There's a spider!

And it's not just any spider, it's a white spider! It seems to be a baby of the giant spider

I also notice that it has a wound on its left side, as if acid was sprayed on its face

That

It looks really menacing snapping its jaws as if it were laughing

Why here?

I just fell into your trap

It can't be

I think I'm going to die

Because of my stupidity, the toad was paralyzed and couldn't move.

But as a last resort I try to speak with telepathy despite knowing that it is useless to expect that it understands me when humans could not

-Please don't eat me, I don't taste good either, I'm just a little slime!

The spider stays still for a moment as if it understood my words...

However, it seems that the frog recovered from the paralysis and threw poison at the spider.

Oh really?

Well the spider seems to be badly injured, however, I see his determination to kill the frog

Oh well frog I think you see yourself there

I try to escape, but the toad attacks me too

Ouchhhh

Hurts! It hurts much!

It hurts so much that the Mimic ability can't handle it and I return to my Slime form.

Well I feel a little less pain, but it still burns

You should prepare to just die damn frog

Well while I'm thinking the frog attacks me again

Ughh again he gave me

To my good luck the spider also approached the frog, while it was busy with me.

When he was close enough he bit her on the neck several times until she stopped moving.

Well it looks like it's time to go

While trying to escape I accidentally get stuck on a piece of thread lying around.

Come on, seriously?

The spider looks at me with interest

Come on, I'm not rich, I'm pure energy, I'm not edible.

However, the spider, contrary to what I think, surrounds me and drags me

Yup, I'm dessert

I start complaining to the spider about all the crazy things that have happened to me from one moment to the next

I know you won't understand me, but what else can I do?

Just when I arrive I notice that there is a nest in front of me

Well…

The spider keeps watching me

Well, I guess I have no choice but to keep talking to it to avoid being eaten.

I keep telling the spider trivial things

Meanwhile I try to get the great wise man to eat the thread...

After a while…

It seems that the spider got bored...

Because suddenly he stopped alert and urgently went through a hole in his threads

Well, great wise man, how long until I can free myself from this?

"Approximately 3 hours"

Is my skill that slow?

"Digestion skill is Lv 2."

Well, it seems I have to resign myself to dying.

After a while, the spider arrives with a round object.

It's an egg!

Great wise man, what is that egg?

"It appears that the object is an egg."

Great explanation great wise man, every day you surprise me more

Well it seems that now I am a prisoner of a spider that has an egg the size of it.

Wait, do you want to break it?

Well, she looks cute trying to break that egg...

If I'm going to be your prisoner, I have to give her a name, right?

I don't want to call her a spider as is...

How about... "Kumoko"?

(Kumoko in Japanese is formed by the symbols (蜘蛛) which means spider and (子) which means boy or girl, taken directly from the story's wiki.)

Or it could also be "Shiro" because she's white...
