A jungle. a dark, wet jungle with a few small rivers here and there. I glid with the wind for quite a time. at first, I was surrounded by tiny floating spiderlings, but then it was just me and that other dude in the distance. my stomach hurt and I was hungry. at first, I was panicked, and a bit reluctant to even try to get anywhere. after a while, I got the hang of it. I had to change my path in order to not hit a tree and squash myself. ′ ahhhh, I''m hungry... !!` i then hit a tree. or at least my thread did. for a while, i just hanged in the wind, unable to actually step a foot on the giant tree.


    ′g-gotta pull myself in...′ i tried pulling myself in using two of my legs, as I had no idea how to use the other four of them, but sooner or later I would learn. ′hah... hah... I did it!′ i stood triumphantly on a branch, with my two front legs waving about in the air. now I could see where the hell I was. I was on a tree covered in moss, right beside a wide river. ′h-holy shit... if this tree hadn''t caught me...′ i looked down on a brown, striped suspicious frog. ′it hasn''t noticed me yet, but when it does...′ I shuttered at the idea of becoming some frogs snack. ′hm? wouldn''t this be the perfect place for a spider to place its web?′ I looked over the river at another mossy tree. it was parallel to this one, and I got a great idea.

    <would you like to use -Golden Silk Lv1>


    ′huh?′ a voice sounded in my head, and black text appeared before my eight eyes. I stared at it in silence before thinking ′h-hey hey hey... am I hallucinating? that can''t be...′ i looked long and hard at the screen, before saying ′yes?′in my head. I then released some Golden Silk. ′w-whoa...′ i fiddled a little with the silk, checking how tough it was, how stretchy and its stickiness. it was really sticky, as I could not pull it off the tree. it was also tough, I couldn''t really test it, but even if I pulled with all my might, it didn''t rip in the least. ′o-ok... perfect! I know exactly what to do!′ I then jumped off the tree with the Golden Silk hanging from my abdomen, connecting myself to the tree.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    as I was still a light little spiderling, I easily floated across with the wind, but that wasn''t the dangerous part. luckily for me, the frog didn''t notice me or it thought I was a wasp or something. ′hoh! I did it!′ i landed on the tree, and quickly affixed the Golden Silk to a branch. ′ok... now to get back and redo it...′ i put my two arms and legs on the Golden Silk and climbed it upside down. the other four legs I didn''t have as human were hanging down, but I didn''t mind them. I took one step, then two... then three. ′t-this is hard...′ i let a strand of Golden Silk hang down, and I shuffled across the fine, golden silk. after a long while of stopping, looking at the frog and the shuffling again, I finally reached the first tree.


    ′... I gotta call this guy something... just tree has no ring... hmm′ i though deeply about pointless things, such as what to call frog, golden silk, and tree. I finally decided that tree would be called ′Leif` which sounds like Leaf, Golden Silk would be called Goldie and the frog would be called Dick. ′ok, now to stick Goldie on Leif...′ i went around Leif, stringing him up with Goldie. ′ok, now there are two strings of Goldie connecting the trees... and I still have no idea how to make a spider web. how about I just go up and down, zig-zagging it and then connecting the zig-zags with more Goldie? wouldn''t that work? I mean, it wouldn''t be like the classic spider web... but I dunno what else to do...′


    < due to your use of -Golden Silk Lv1-, "Goldie" as it will now be referred to, has leveled up to -Goldie Lv2->
