Reborn as a Spider: I Build a Monster Empire with Tower Defense

[Reincarnated by a great turn of fate + no female lead + tower defense and farming + ruthless and decisive + raising followers]

Lin Qi has been reincarnated. He didn't become a hero or a noble, and he can't even pass for human.

Because he was reborn as a palm-sized spider in a forest of monsters.

The good news is that he comes with a roulette wheel and a hunting brand. Kill monsters to get fragments, then combine three to gain a skill.

The bad news is that everything in this forest wants to eat him. High-level monsters see him as a snack, human adventurers see him as a material, and abyssal demons see him as cannon fodder.

Lin Qi figures that if everyone wants to come, then no one gets to leave.

Invisible webs block the way, magic-element land mines reap their toll, and strong-acid traps cut off escape routes. He turns the entire forest into a tower defense system. It doesn't matter what species you are or which side you're on: anyone who enters his territory can leave only as a corpse.

He weaves the webs alone, sets the defenses alone, and reaps the harvest alone. From a single nest of silk to a city, from one spider to an empire.

By the time the five great kingdoms finally react, the monster forest has already become a forbidden zone.

The allied armies camp at the border, staring at the fortress in the distance, shrouded in webs. No one dares make a move.

At the heart of the web, the white-haired young man sits on his throne. He takes a sip of medicinal tea brewed from herbs grown in his pocket dimension, then sighs:

"I told you all to stay out of this."
