A Reincarnated Demon’s Life of Wonder

Yup. Nothing weird going on here. And that's a problem! How can a girl make a name for herself if she's got no titles to prove she's awesome!?

Luckily, I'm on the weakest floor of the Dungeon. I can farm weaklings easily! Both for EXP, personal experience and to get those ten stealth kills for the Rogue class!

Kukuku. I'm itching for action!

---

Yeah... the itch isn't getting scratched so much.

Don't take me wrong here. I've taken out rats and frogs here and there, and that even includes a proper Pond Frog! But my level hasn't gone up even after all this.

As for how I get the job done, I'm preparing webs in strategic locations and waiting for my prey to appear. I also add bait in the form of great-tasting veggies that I sometimes find. And after the sucker's trapped, I bite them with some added [Aura of Darkness] to get the job done as fast as possible.

Sure, this is good training, but I'm not getting any new levels! Why? It was easier before, even with the difference in racial ranks...

The difference in racial ranks! That's it! I've killed monsters way above my weight limit through accidents or lucky shots when I was a Grey Demon. A whole 66% of my kills come from that! Please ignore that I only snuffed out 3 creatures in total during those times.

Back to the point, level-grinding in this world turns out to be much more difficult than I first imagined. The best way would be to go for stronger monsters, but that's also the best way to get myself killed. Option beta would be to capture a monster that calls on allies, but that's more for the survival brawler type. I'm a delicate trapper type. I don't do brawls. Unless it's for a hot girl..., yeah. I like hot girls. Got a problem with that?

*Thug, thug*

Moving away from my sexual preferences, it seems that there's a new victim on one of my webs.

I'm using the place I evolved in as my base lately, and all the webs I've put up are connected to this place through some warning cords. If something gets caught by one of them, the cords tell me the story. And they're not even connected to a cell phone!

Back to the prey, it's a..., damn. Another rat? Lame... It's so lame, I'm not even gonna bother biting into it.

From my hands, I produced a thin string of silk (turns out I can do that now along with literally spitting the gunk out) and whipped the rat with it. The thread cut into the rat's body, and after another one at the neck, the rat was hanging dead in my web.

Yup. That's right. This new body of mine can create thin enough threads that let me use [Cutting Thread]'s effect. It helps me with my problem that's known as my consciousness by swiftly ending the life of my prey. I do use the bite+aura combo more often, but that's because that method is so nice for grinding skill proficiency. If I'm in a hurry, I use the "cutter".

And honestly, I'm sick and tired of this place. That's why I'm leaving the rat corpse hanging and my nest in general. As for my next goal..., K-N. Didn't you mention something about new quests on the lower floors?

Correct. It has been observed that quests related to all the floors outside the three last ones have been released.

That is tempting, but be honest with me. Are they juicy enough to risk my neck going down that hellhole again?

Answer. Every floor now contains quests with rewards equal to at least 1 new skill, or rare item that could become useful in the future.

Crossing out this floor, I got 6 of them to clear..., I guess I could go to the 3rd floor and back up after that. No need to be greedy if it gets me killed.

And honestly..., I'm getting sick of this place. I just want to have a proper bed, a proper meal, and..., I can't believe, I REALLY can't believe I'm saying this, but..., I'm lonely.

According to K-N, it's been close to a year since I reincarnated at the bottom of this Dungeon. And during all that time, the sole contact with people (monsters that try to kill me aren't included) were those adventurers recently, and I hid from them. With a somewhat good reason, sure, but that doesn't make it any less pathetic of me.

Not that I can't expect that people will glance at a spider-looking demon like me and say "friend"..., and honestly, that's too much for me. Only being in a village or a city would suffice. Real social contact feels... like it would be too much for me. There, I said it. Slap on that "wimp"-title on me already!!

...now I feel like an idiot. Let's kill some frogs before I go to the sauna tunnel. The rats are having the luckiest break of their life now. As for the froggies, not so much.

*Crunch* *Splash* *Crack* *Kreaaak* *Splosh*

... Some seriously disturbing noises came from that natural alleyway over there. Either there's a man-eating tiger with really bad table manners... or something that will reduce my SAN points if I take a look.

Well, disturbing some... thing, when they're eating is just bad manners on my part. Let's run!

*Throw* *Splat*

Something came flying out of the alley. It's... the dedicated head of one of those cobra monsters? Wait, what!? And what happened to this guy!? It looks like the meat was forcefully wrenched out, making it look like something from a splatter movie combined with a horror one! And, ugh, is that his brains? They're coming outta his mouth! As if it was trying to force itself outside of the cobra's skull.

*Floooaaaaat..*

-!? What's that!? It looks like a tar-black something that's a cross between a skeleton and a zombie. Not to mention it's floating while covered in a grey haze.

Iiik!! It's looking over here! What's up with those abyss-like black eyes!? They're freaking me out!

L-l-listen, I-I'm not tasty! D-d-don't float closer... help me!! RUUUUUUN!!
