Chereads / I'm the Spider / Chapter 2 - The Secret Letter

Chapter 2 - The Secret Letter

"Whistle… whistle… whistle…"

This voice is different from the one he heard inside him; this voice is coming from outside.

The sound of whistling comes in a rhythmic tune, repeating over and over. Hearing the whistle, He realizes the sound is coming from his back. Arthur tries to move quickly, but he can't. His newborn body isn't moving properly.

Thinking there must be danger behind him, he tries to stand up and look back. But his newborn spider body refuses to budge. His heart races, and his eyes widen at the thought of a creature standing behind him. Unable to stand on his four legs, Arthur tries to turn his head and body toward his back.

But there is nothing behind him. The only thing he sees is the broken egg from which Arthur was reborn. Suddenly, Arthur's eyes catch sight of a letter embedded inside the egg.

The sound is coming from the letter. He realizes,

"What? The letter is making the sound?" Seeing the letter, he thought.

Unable to stand on his feet, Arthur tries to stand up slowly. Slowly, he moves his legs one by one, attempting to stand so he can approach the letter.

Controlling his legs one by one, Arthur tries to stand up. Finally, he stands on his legs.

"Now which leg should I move first?" Arthur thought, trying to understand how he should walk. In his previous life, Arthur had only two legs, but now he has four legs. While he is thinking a bit, suddenly a monstrous growl hits Arthur's ears.

"Ahaaa… growl…" The moment the growl hits him, Arthur instinctively moves forward. While maintaining coordination in his footwork, he realizes how to move his four legs.

"What is that sound…?" he said.

"I need to stop this letter's sound; otherwise, that thing might come here hearing this sound," he thought. He tried to walk slowly towards the letter.

"Yes, I can walk," Arthur finally managed to walk. He started walking towards the letter inside the egg. The egg was very close to Arthur. After a few steps, he reached the egg.

' Now I need to use my hands. ' Thinking, he raised his hand towards the letter to pick it up. His arm successfully reached the letter. After opening his three spiky fingers, he carefully grabbed the letter with his three fingers, using both hands.

The whistle sound is still coming from the letter.

' I have never seen a beautiful letter like this, ' looking at the letter, he thought.

"Ah… growl…" Suddenly, another monstrous growl hit Arthur again. Hearing the monster's growl, his body shook, and the letter fell down. The sound was closer than before, he realized.

The letter was still making the sound. Arthur tried to grab the letter again with his hands, but he couldn't. He faced difficulty grabbing the letter with his new three fingers. He suddenly stopped.

"Take a long breath," he tried again to grab the letter. Opening his three fingers while supporting with another, he grabbed the letter.

Grabbing the letter, Arthur pulled the ribbon on it. After pulling the ribbon, the letter's cover opened. Suddenly, the whistling stopped. Arthur was a bit shocked. He grabbed the letter inside the cover with his other hand, placed the cover on the ground, and opened the letter with both hands.

"I hope you like your new spider body. After finishing reading this letter, it will vanish, so read this carefully. You only have one chance to read and understand what's going on.

The world you reincarnated into is a magical world. Magic power exists in everyone in this world, in every living being as well as some non-living things too. With this magical power, everyone can evolve into greater beings. If you want to evolve into a human being, you need to become strong. Only then can you evolve into a greater being.

You are born with good mana, and like others, you are also born with some special skills. So make sure to learn these skills fast if you want to survive in the world you reincarnated into. It's a strong world. I hope you don't want to become weak here.

I hope you're reading this letter and not dead yet. Haha… hahah…"

The letter suddenly vanished after reading the last word.

"So what should I do now…?" Arthur thought, looking up.

After a while, looking up, Arthur suddenly looked at the ground he was standing on. The letter cover was still there.

"It did not vanish with the letter, huh?" Looking at the letter cover on the ground, he thought.

Arthur picked up the letter cover again with his hand.

"Is he God? Who else could send the letter inside the egg? He also said he created my body. Oh… God created a body for me and sent a letter to help me too. I guess I'm lucky. Or maybe I think I know why God is helping me…!"

"I need to hide this letter cover somewhere until I find a way to escape this place. Maybe I can find the person who sent this letter," Arthur thought about where he could hide the letter cover. Suddenly, looking at his sharp fingers, he had an idea. He tried hitting the ground he was standing on with his sharp clawed fingers.

"It's working," he thought while hitting the ground, digging again and again with his sharp claws. He created a small hole in the ground, enough to hide the letter cover. Arthur placed the letter cover inside the hole he created, then filled the hole with the soil he removed while digging the hole.

"Okay, then. Now I need to find water, food, and also learn how to use my skills and mana," he said while thinking about how he could learn to use his skills and mana.

Suddenly, he heard a voice again.

"Spirit Ally, Death Eater, Prince Mana. You have these three main skills."

"What?! You again? What did you just say…?" Arthur said as his eyes widened with a bit of shock, hearing the same voice again inside him.

"You have three main skills: Spirit Ally, Death Eater, and Prince Mana," the familiar voice said again inside Arthur.

"She replied," Arthur thought.

"So you can reply to me, huh?!" he said.

"Yes, I have the ability to reply to you," the familiar voice said again.

Arthur was shocked to hear that some unknown voice was talking to him.

He quickly replied, "Who are you?!"

"I'm one of your main skills: Spirit Ally!" Spirit Ally replied.
