Aetheriya, once an ordinary student, awakens not in his familiar classroom, but within the body of a nascent dragon hatchling in the treacherous Elroe Labyrinth. His past life as a forgotten classmate of Kumoko's human form is a distant memory, replaced by the instinctual drive of a predator and a unique cheat: a Proficiency System alongside a 'Hundredfold Return' ability. This power promises to multiply everything gained by a bonded individual by 100x, channeling it directly to Aetheriya. His target? Kumoko, the infamous spider monster evolving into the enigmatic Shiraori. As the Labyrinth's deadly ecosystem threatens to devour him, Aetheriya must forge an unlikely, one-sided bond with the world's most dangerous evolving entity. But befriending a rapidly ascending god-to-be isn't just about survival; it's about navigating the moral maze of profiting from another's struggle, all while the world teeters on the brink of collapse.
