First day as spider

Lukas was completely shocked when he saw his body. He had the body of a spider beast. He had 8 furry legs, his spider bot was around 1 meter big. His spider form was completely black, infacct it was such a deep black that people would have problems seeing him if he walked in shadows.

The system didn't lie when it said it would turn him into a spider beast… even death couldn't stop it from punishing him. He had clearly died, but the system apparently didn't care. He was kinda scared actually, the system could easily reverse his death, ow wpuld he protect himself if the system tried to harm him?

New mission

Survive 1 month as nightwalker spider

Reward : 1 C grade technique

Punishment : you didn't survive so death

Also you can get points from now on for killing beasts.

System reminder : hosts current body is currently that of a beast, beasts have no barriers in there cultivation and can easily advance through ranks by eating other beasts. It's highly suggested for the host to use this chance to cultivate."

So this time he would truly die? So the system wasn't trying to safe him it just wanted to punish him? How petty!!! It fucking revived him just to punish him. This system was insane, an absolute lunatic.

Still his actual survival chances were pretty high,spiders were the overlords of this forest. Most beasts would avoid spiders if they saw them. And the spiders wouldn't fight each other unless there was a food shortage.

But what surprised lukas the most was the type of spider beast he became. Nightwalker spider, a very unique spider that actually has 2 elements. The first element was of course poison, but the second was darkness.

Darkness was a pretty unique element that mostly focused on hiding. It had effects like making yourself invisible at night or making your attacks invisible. People mostly cultivated it as second path to make their normal attacks more deadly. Your sword strike wasn't deadly enough? Then make it invisible! This was the motto of the darkness element.

It worked best at night, but there were many ways to make it work at day. And now lukas has become a nightwalker spider, a unique type of spider that was even feared among higher ranks. A foundation realm nightwalker spider often still brought terror to gold core realm cultivators.

This wasn't unique to the nightwalker spider but rather a feature of all assassin style beasts and cultivators. Before you notice them striking you are most likely already dead. And now lukas was this type of beast.

But lukas was overjoyed, he actually got the unique feature of advancing his cultivation through eating other beasts. This was one of the terrifying features of beasts, they could endlessly advance as long they had food.

Of course the higher the cultivation of the beast the slower it would advance. But high rank sects could advance their beast pets from foundation realm to soul core realm in weeks or months. Humans needed countless years fir this…

Tho sects mostly didn't advance beasts beyond that. It was just to expensive to continue raising them after that. A nascent soul beast would need to eat nascent soul beasts to continue advancing in cultivation. Most high rank sects only had one nascent soul cultivator, only the strongest sects like the heaven toppling sect would have golden soul realm cultivators.

But that all didn't matter now, it was time to find prey. Lukas had to make use of this chance to constantly increase his cultivation. Maybe he could even try to advance to gold core realm. This would take him years normally, but now that he was a beast cultivation got way easier.

This was also one if the reasons why even after countless eras of legendary cultivators beasts were still the dominant race of this world. Humans had to cultivate endlessly painfully trying to advance, probably dying of old age before they advance.

Beasts had higher life span in the first place and could easily cultivate. It sounded tragic but currently humans were deeply inferior to beasts, with no hope to become the dominant race of the world. That was already seen by the fact that cultivators above golden soul realm were only myths, while beasts who are above golden soul realm are confirmed to exist. They were called legendary God beasts and each of them had terrifying might.

And now it was time for lukas to benefit from being a beast. He walked around the forest mostly walking in the shadows, only if you looked really carefully would someone be able to see him. But fir beasts? They wouldn't notice him.

He quickly found a deer beast. Those beasts had strong antlers and were very fast. Normal beasts would be left in the dust if they tried to hunt it. But for lukas? He was confident in hunting it down.

The deer was only a few meters away, lukas was sitting in a shadow and carefully watching it. He would strike as soon the deer beast would look in the opposite direction. But currently it was facing his way, if he jumped out now the deer would notice him.

After 10 minutes the deer finally started walking in the opposite direction, it was facing away from him. He immediately jumped out of the shadows and attacked it. The deer beast had no chance to react and got bitten by lukas. The poison was penetrating it's body and it was crying in pain. But lukas didn't stop he continued to inject his poison into it.

The deer beast soon succumbed to the poison and died. It had tried to escape, but it couldn't shake lukas off. It's life had been decided the moment it faced away from lukas. It never had the chance to actually escape.

Defeated a third layer beast

3 points as reward"

Lukas sighed he had now 14 points, his points were growing but it was very slowly. But he couldn't change that, he could only continue hunting to get more and more points and to advance his cultivation.

He started eating the deer beast corpse. Before he felt disgusted by eating raw meat, but now his new body found the meat very tasty. He even could feel a mystical energy entering his body, it was slowly making him stronger.

After eating half the corpse he actually advanced to the third layer. But eating more had no effect the mystical feeling was gone. But he was still shocked, wasn't this to easy? At this moment he could feel how deeply inferior humans were compared to beasts…
