<p>Despite the gritty, repugnant design of the darkroom, she remained staring at the ceiling, mixed with various conflicting emotions. Her hands, covered in black scales and carapace, resembled not the human she once was, but Arachna— the monstrous race that threatened the existence of the Great Races.</p> <p>"Where am I..? Who am I..?" No matter how hard she tried, the girl could not remember anything of significance. She just was and forever now, an Arachna.</p> <p>This is her story; the progression of memory, identity crisis, and psychological trauma of a twisted mind, filled with the insanity of Arachna while clinching onto the fleeting memory of her past.</p> <p>--- Author's Note ---</p> <p>Cover Art Created By Nyan_Sempai! Please check out her other wonderful paintings here: https://www.deviantart.com/nyanncreates</p> <p>I've always been in love with Zerg-like alien and its hivemind structure. So, now that I've got an excuse to achieve my dream, why should I let it go? Let's not stop at that— throwing in high fantasy element and now I've got a good story material!</p> <p>This will be a somewhat 'easy-going' fiction, compared to my previous one. It will be more focused on the main character, and less with the overall war of the world. Of course, this will slowly transit to more world-spanning conflict later. For now, enjoy the expansive world while slowly learning the main character's past first.</p> <p>Warning: There will be hope, and there will be despair. There will be fluff, and there will definitely be tragedies. Sometimes, I might get a little too deep and write detailed horror/gore; so this is not for those who don't like dark stuff. There might be romance, but it will not be always heart-warming.</p> <p>I'll be making glossary for some terms. It won't be necessary at all to read, as everything is in the story, but it'll serve as a refresher for those who come back after a break. Think about generic western fantasy, but with sci-fi magitech and many types of punk; plus alien arachnoid. That is basically the setting.</p> <p>This novel is made for The Adventum Contest. The Chosen Themes are "Town/Kingdom/Empire Building", "Reincarnated as an X (Anything non-human)" and "Combination of Magic and Technology" because I'm going for all of them at once.</p> <p>Will update every 3 days.</p>
