Our hero woke up to a creepy commotion. At first it seemed that he was in water, but then his senses became a little clearer. A multitude of flickering little spiders were creating a living river, in which he was. Throwing himself from side to side, he tried to break free from this eerie stream. After running over the heads of creepy creatures the size of him, without recognizing the road and direction, our hero ran wherever his eyes were looking. Having broken out of the stream and jumped on a thin leaf, he ran for a few seconds with his head down, but he couldn't hold on with his paws and started to fall in free fall... "So STOP! LAPS!? What the fuck am I!?", his musings were interrupted by the impact of hitting a horizontal surface. Oddly enough, he felt nothing but slight discomfort.
Getting up and calming down, he finally looked around. His body seemed to be intact, his legs were still in place, his vision was fine, but it felt strange. He could not see far, only 30 meters, no more than 30 meters, everything was blurred further. Although. 30 meters was probably the wrong conclusion. There's no such thing as grass with stems longer than 30 meters.
"I can't even see where this giant grass ends. It looks like I've become a little spider and was just born. And now I'm supposed to measure everything in centimeters. What a setup, huh?! It's an overgrown flashlight, you bastard! I'm a fucking little spider. What am I gonna do now? I feel like crying. Why isn't it at least a mammal?! Okay, calm down, man, it doesn't have to be that bad. We need to think and solve problems according to their level of importance. Move your brain, think about what to do next so we don't get smeared on a slippery slipper. Uh-huh. Ooh. Breathe, pump oxygen to the brain, awaken genius ... Let's get on with it. If that god didn't stab me, I should have the qualities of the original Zerg, and be able to rebuild my body based on the victims I've eaten. Except I'd have to catch, kill, and eat someone... Then the question is, how do I know what I can do, and if I'm anything like a Zerg?" the worries swirled around in his furry head, "Oh, I can't get enough beer, I'd like to get the process going!"
- "Can't you do anything without help? At least compare the concept of "Game" and your question. If you wanted to play it to the fullest, you get it! This is a gamer's dream come true. I've got half a billion souls on your body, so don't die for at least 24 hours.
Counting on you, cheater!" - That nasty voice echoed in his head again. It looked like he was being watched closely, and even bets were being placed. Still, the first thought of a setup was right. But there's nothing to be done, I have to deal with my future life as a spider.
"How much I hate him now. Uggh...! I'm shaking with anger. So, what did he say? How's the game? Uh. Then "Help" - closed my eyes and saw the text in the familiar Russian language, - "Ah, I see, to see the statistics of characteristics and skills use the command "Status". Okay, let's try it. "Status!"
A list popped up in front of my eyes.

"Yeah, that's something I didn't expect! This overgrown bulb has really made me look like a Zerg! I can do anything now! Well, I am now...! All right, let's not get too excited.
First, let's summarize all the information we've gotten," he thought for a few minutes and began to wander around the small stone.
"First of all, I need to eat to live, I've learned that. The reserve of strength is strangely enough displayed in the essence of life, it is also spent on transformations. So, in addition to the code itself, I need to have a reserve of energy, or I'll die of exhaustion.
That's understandable.
Secondly, I don't have to be afraid of losing limbs or organs, as long as I stay alive. The body will regenerate. Heh, it's good to be a spider. Mammals can't do that.
Third, I'm a wolf spider. I don't remember those little cuties very well. Solitary, catching insects with their hands, or their jaws, or whatever I've got now? And we only weave webs for sleeping and protection. Well, I think I've got it all figured out. Oh. I'm tired. I should find a place to rest. Oh, my body... it's breaking everything it can break and aching everything it can whine. What's wrong with me? Just now I was feeling fine..."
Fighting with the last of his strength against the fatigue that came like a wave, he quickly found the nearest hole. He quickly crawled into it without thinking, so as not to pass out in the open. The hole was actually very small, but there was a small cave inside, probably washed out by the water. "Ooh... I'll lie down here," was all our hero thought before falling into a dead sleep. Strangely enough, he even had a dream. There the old him was swimming in the pool with naked girlfriends from the institute and drinking expensive cognac. He's never had such luck in his life. Why do these things only happen in dreams? And when he's already dead. Squeaky.... Not a good animal, no matter how you look at it!
