Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act I: Motivation

2-6: Major Evolutionary Upgrades (Spider 38)

Spider 38:

Yawn...

Inner Critic: Good morning, Hiiro.

Looks like I didn't wake up in heaven.

Inner Critic: What about hell, Hiiro?

What do you mean, Inner Critic? Why'd I go to hell when I haven't done anything wrong?

Besides, this place is basically hell already.

Eh? My body feels different.

Oh, right. I left the ???????? line, so my shape is probably very different now.

Eh? Why is my body pitch black?

Well, it is pitch black dark inside the dragon eel shether so...

No wait, my [Night Vision] is already maxed out.

So I really am pitch black now.

Oh right! High stealth capability!

Makes sense for my body not to reflect light at all to hide myself in the dead of night.

But wouldn't a pitch black spider stand out in the bright landscape of the Middle Stratum?

Oh whatever, I rely more on hiding from sight than in plain sight anyway.

I left the shelter while inspecting the rest of my body.

My front two legs are now scythes and I have spikes on my back.

I definitely have the grim reaper image now, being an ill omen and all.

Cool, edgy and awesome!

Better put these scythes to good use to descale the dragon eel now.

I remember how long it took to descale the boss snake, having to pull the scales off on my own.

But now I can just cut the skin connecting the scales to the body and done.

So much easier!

I then check my Stats in the meantime and wow!

The high combat capability is no joke!

My Stats are a lot higher now!

Like, probably higher than the monkeys now I bet!

And actually stronger than them lavahorses!

Many of my Skills have levelled up as well!

Divine Voice: "Proficiency has reached the required level.

Skill [Parallel Thinking LV5] has become [Parallel Thinking LV6]."

Eh? Well, I guess I am multitasking here, makes sense.

Wait, [Taboo] is now LV5!?

Why, just because I evolved?

Seriously, why am I being punished for being myself?!

...Yeah, actually that's fair.

Inner Critic: You're a horrible person after all, Hiiro.

Anyway, I got a new Skill called [Rot Attack], similar to [Poison Attack] but y'know, Rot?

Scary stuff, but being the one to use it seems edgy enough for my taste.

Another new Skill is called [Silence] and it suppresses the sounds I make.

Perfect for the ninja build I am heading towards.
