The story
What it's about
I, the protagonist, was just an ordinary high school girl, but suddenly I was reincarnated as a spider monster in a fantasy world. Not only that, but I awakened in a dungeon filled with vicious monsters. Armed with only my human knowledge and my overwhelming positivity, I'm forced to use spiderwebs and traps to defeat far stronger monsters just to stay alive... So begins the labyrinth survival story of a girl with incredible mental strength living as one of the lowest-ranked beasts!

Reincarnated in Another World?
The protagonist opens her eyes to find out she's been reborn as a spider.

The story of a high school girl with nerves of steel and her struggle to survive in another world begins here!
S01E15
Did Mother Send These Annoying Puppet Spiders?
With her mental link to Mother, the protagonist uses her Parallel Wills to launch a psychic attack. Things seem to be proceeding smoothly, but the lack of any struggle is unsettling... and turns out to be a clever trap set by Mother.
S01E12
My Battle Has Only Just Begun?
Overcoming her weakness means settling things with the Earth Dragon, Araba. The protagonist begins preparing to bring her full power to bear against her past trauma. But the ultimate Earth Dragon wields a hidden power that is practically unfair!
- Directed by Shinichirou Ueda
S01E04
Monkey, Wha—?!
The protagonist has managed to escape the threat of the Earth Dragon, and while she's a little frustrated about being forced to run, she decides to continue her journey. But in the Great Elroe Labyrinth, monsters prey on each other where only the strongest survive! And that means a new threat is already around the corner.
- Directed by Shinichirou Ueda
S01E02
My House, On Fire?
The protagonist has finally created a home of her own, and begins to start fighting monsters in order to level up. Other than the nasty food, it's a fairly fulfilling existence. But things take a turn when humans show up. Her cozy little home is burnt down...
- Directed by Shinichirou Ueda
S01E06
The Hero and the Demon Lord?
The protagonist encounters a new monster as she makes her way through the magma-filled middle layers of the labyrinth. She finds herself outclassed in every category except speed, in a hopelessly one-sided conflict! Making use of her new skill, she searches for a way to turn the battle around.
