Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? - Game System

Elliot? Yeah, he got isekai'd. Bam! Straight into the world of "So I'm a Spider, So What?". And guess what? He wasn't some puny human or, well, a spider. Nope, he lucked out and got reborn as a freakin' Earth Dragon!



But wait, it gets better. Ding! He awakened the 'Myriad Worlds Game System'. You know what that means? Skills! Skills from all sorts of crazy games!



And the kicker? His new neighbor in the sprawling Great Elroe Labyrinth was none other than the little spider gal herself, Kumoko!



So, what happens when two totally broken characters end up living next door to each other? They team up, duh! Their genius plan? Hit all the poor monsters in the Labyrinth with a two-pronged attack! A good ol' fashioned sandwich maneuver!



But Elliot had a little secret. "Heh, sorry folks," he probably smirked to himself, "but your boy Elliot here? He's playing with cheats activated!"



….



System Alert: Skill Acquired! [True Man's Slash]!



What's it do? Oh, nothing much. Just tanks his defense but cranks his attack power way, way up. And the cherry on top? He can smack every single enemy he can see, all at the same time!



Picture this: Three thousand angry demon monkeys charging at them. Elliot just activates the skill. SWOOSH!


"Consider 'em deleted," he might as well have yelled. Just like that, monkey bits everywhere. Utter carnage.



….



System Alert: Skill Acquired! [Skull Splitter]!



This one's kinda specific, but ouch. It deals huge true damage, but only to female monsters. You know that dumb trope in games where skimpy armor on girls gives more defense? Yeah, this skill calls BS on that. No defense saves you. It just hits. Hard.



….



System Alert: Skill Acquired! [Planetary Devastation]!



Oh boy. This one's the showstopper. Elliot just looks up, points, and BAM! A giant freaking meteor comes crashing down from the sky! It slams into the ground, shaking the whole Labyrinth, and instantly turns every monster caught in the blast radius into stone. Petrified. Donezo.



And the damage? A number popped up, bright and bold: 2,100,000,000!



Yeah. 2.1 billion.



….



At this very moment, poor little Kumoko, standing off to the side, looked like her tiny spider brain had just melted. She was just... completely floored, reeling from the sheer absurdity of it all.



Finally, she managed to stammer out, her voice trembling a bit, "Earth Dragon... dude... You're... you're totally hacking! That's gotta be cheating!"
