By the time I'd finished having fun with my fire magic, it had already reached level 3. 'It certainly leveled up very quickly. Maybe my race has given me a bonus that makes my skills level up faster?'
It makes sense since it's practically impossible to level up.
'Seriously, what do I do now? Should I keep killing monsters here and farming levels? Or should I leave the labyrinth?'
No, I don't think it's time yet. I want to prepare myself better first. My skills haven't reached their full potential yet. But it will take a long time to reach my full potential. I might stay here for years...
I don't want to live underground for several years. I refuse to do that.
'If I stay here for years, all the reincarnates will be adults by the time I leave!' But does that make a difference? I don't want to get involved with them anyway. The only characters I like are Kumoko and Ariel.
The others are interesting, but I don't like them enough.
Also, I want to go home.
'Huh?'
Then, I felt the presence of something. I turned around quickly and began to feel a strange energy.
'Is it a monster?' It didn't seem dangerous, so I headed where I felt the presence. But when I arrived there, I found nothing. The presence had disappeared entirely.
'Was I wrong?' The only thing around were some bodies of monsters I had killed earlier. 'Hm? But there's something strange.' Although the ground was rocky, there was some dirt... Or dust.
I could see some footsteps.
They were the footsteps of thin feet/legs, just like mine.
'Well, my legs are much thicker now. I've grown a lot, a lot more than I thought.'
But that's strange. Is it one of those dinosaur monsters? No, their feet are different. 'Then it's probably another spider. Could one of my siblings have made it to this place?'
I looked around and waited for a while but didn't hear or see anything.
'I think I'm imagining it.'
With my big body, I started to walk away. I need to gain EXP, and standing here won't do any good.
'Hm?'

*Change of POV*
'Even though I said I would go up, I don't know how. Damn, that sucks!' The little spider screamed in her mind. 'I must find another way.'
She thought it but remembered the giant black spider she had seen.
'Do I have to go through it?'
The spider searched for other paths but found only dead ends and some paths too narrow to follow. 'Damn it~~ I'm going to have to go through that spider~~'
The spider opened its Status and looked at the skill that could help it.
[ Stealth LV1 ]
The spider had acquired this skill not long ago, so it was still at level one.
'No, that won't work!' The spider shouted in her mind. 'I'm sure that giant spider has a lot of skills to sense me. I'll be caught as soon as I try to do anything!'
She thought for a few seconds and decided to follow where the black spider was.
When the spider got closer, it noticed that the giant spider had stopped using its fire magic and was standing still, staring at the wall.
'It seems to be thinking deeply about something... I've never seen a monster act like this. It's even gesturing with its legs!'
That spider was strange, so the little spider became even more afraid.
And then...
Badumt!
The spider's heart pounded. The black spider's eyes turned in the little spider's direction. The spider immediately clamped its mouth shut and held its breath. And then, the spider began to hear heavy footsteps.
'It's coming! It's coming!'
The spider desperately climbed the walls, hid in what little shade it could find, and stood still. It even stopped breathing.
Then, the giant spider approached. The giant spider stood still below the little spider, looking around. Fortunately, the giant spider didn't look at the ceiling.
However, just the possibility of being caught made the poor little spider tremble.
'If I'm caught, I'll be killed! I'm not strong enough to fight this thing!'
The threatening aura that the spider emitted was not normal.
'Oh! Appraisal-san!!'

'What the hell? What's all this? Why can't I see the name? Is it because Appraisal-san isn't at a high enough level?'
The black spider then moved away, leaving the little spider relieved. The little spider could finally breathe again and climbed down the wall to look where the black spider was going so as not to go to the same place.
However, when the little spider that was hiding behind the stones tried to look.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT SAW ME!' The giant spider's eight crimson-red eyes stared straight at the little spider.
