15: That Time I Lost My Paradice

(TL: Due to recent Interest, I am continuing this again! OwO Updates will be every other day and/or sooner!)

Today also I spent my day lazily.

Ah, my home...

The "meals" come over from there without permission and I can sleep soundly in a dangerous dungeon because the countermeasures have been secured. Because I spread some soft threads on the firm floor, it feels like sleeping on a bed. It has become a daily routine, that I even keep producing threads while relaxing. Ah, this is bliss.

Thinking about my previous life, I spent my daily life restlessly. I didn't have much awareness, now that I think about it, what do you think of 4 hours sleep? My daily routine in my previous life was to wake up in the morning and go to school. Once school was over, I go back home and do nothing but playing games. Once my drowsiness has reached its limit, only then do I sleep. It was such a life. Though it's fun playing games, but thinking back now, there was an obligation to play it.

Being a free player while also being one of the top players in the online game, trying to live up to the expectations with pride, I inadvertently think that I exceeded my capacity. Such as I, something like living up to everyone's expectations, still feels good if it's a joke. Self-conceit. I don't mind the eyes of another person. Even though, it looks like I still have such a human mindset, even though I noticed it after living this life.

Therefore, the real meaning is when I'm living a life where I don't have to do anything, there's a feeling of freedom. At first, I felt uneasy when think that I can't bear with the all the free time I have but it looks like it was just a needless anxiety. Though I am surely free because there's neither internet nor game in such environment, but it's not that unbearable.

Looks like my standard of happiness is somewhat lower than normal people. To put things bluntly, it's already a happiness to be able to live. I am already happy with the present life that has food and living space secured. I'm happy until I think that I intend to spend my life here. Though, I don't know how long a spider can live.

But I think that I will have to leave my home someday.

Unexpected situation! Changes in the environment! The appearance of a powerful enemy who can breakthrough my web!

I don't know what it is but, I think that its time again. Nothing changes. Therefore, I should prepare for when that time comes.

Though I have already decided, it's still too late! I'm not prepared yet!

In front of my panicking view was one of my home's entrance blaze up. I was falling asleep and suddenly, flames started to rose. The home which I put great efforts to building, is currently swallowed up by a sea of flames without much resistance. My spider thread which I boasted for its invincibility, is unexpectedly weak against fire.

However, why are there suddenly flames in my home? I understood the answer immediately. It's a human. There was a man in the depths of the fire. A torch is in his hand. He must have burnt my home using the fire from the torch.

This is bad.

Though it's hard to see clearly through the fire but I can see the figure of several humans behind the man. I don't think they set the fire up accidentally. It's obviously an action that they are cautious of the spiderweb. Then, they must be aware that in the depths of the web, there's a spider, which is me.

If I keep on staying here, I only have 2 choices. Whether I would die wounded by the fire or I would die being cornered by humans. Fortunately, the flames have not reached my place yet and if I escape on the opposite side, the humans should not be able to catch up with me.

I look at my home one more time. I spent most of my time here after I reincarnated. I put great efforts to build it up. Having done various discoveries in this place and each time after discovering something, I would be swinging from joy to sorrow. So far, this was also the place that has protected me all the time. I might love this place more than my room in my previous life. I spent such a long time in this place.

I began to run. With the flames in the opposite direction. I go through the complicated spiderweb skillfully. The last web. I can never return to this place once I pass through there. There's no more security once I pass through there.

Still, I pass through the last web without hesitation. Though I had the urge to look back, I didn't do so. Now, I need to escape as far as possible.

Thus, I, have been chased out of my home.

Though it's a sequel, the adventurers who set my home on fire seemed to discover my large amount of thread balls left in the center afterward. Fortunately, the flames did not reach there and they collect it. It is said that the clothes made with the threads were sold for a large amount of money. It seemed that the King of some country even purchased it and it became a topic for a certain period of time. I only found this out after a very long time.
