In the year 1469, a young boy named Wilbur T. Spydersson developed an intense fascination with arachnids—those eight-legged creatures that often strike fear into the hearts of many. This obsession eventually led him to study arachnology, and he became an arachnologist dedicated to understanding these remarkable beings. As he delved deeper into his studies and formed bonds with these arachnids, he found himself daydreaming about becoming one of them.
One fateful day, while collecting new arachnid specimens for his growing collection, Wilbur heard whispers of a mysterious cult that worshipped arachnids. The legends spoke of rituals that could transform their victims into actual spiders or scorpions. Intrigued, Wilbur embarked on a quest to find this cult, but his efforts proved fruitless. Disheartened, he returned home, only to be knocked out and kidnapped by the very cult he sought.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself at the center of a dark ritual dedicated to a god known as Arachnos. As the fervent chants of the cultists filled the air, Wilbur screamed for help, only to feel a profound change overtaking him. His arms and legs multiplied, his eyes and mouth echoed in a disorienting transformation, and he began to metamorphose into a spider.
When the ritual reached its climax, the cult rejoiced, believing they had successfully created a vessel for their god to inhabit. To Wilbur's amazement, he felt a wave of exhilaration wash over him; he had finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming an arachnid. Thus, he became revered by the cult, who continued to worship him, dedicated to pleasing their new deity, Wilbur—now one with the arachnids he so adored. Legend has it that the cult endures, still devoted to their arachnid god, willing to do anything to ensure his favor.
