Authors note: Why hello there if you are one of my followers (If you are not, ignore this note), then my apologies, I've been on SpaceBattles posting stuff and making other stories on there. I'm actually porting this story over from there as a matter of fact. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story.

My Immersion is Broken, Reason: Am Drone Now.
(So I'm a Spider, So What?)
(Or; an American exchange student gets reincarnated as an immersion-breaking drone)

There are several things I wish I could've done better. Examples are learning to better my Japanese as a foreign exchange student or learning how exactly to socialize with other human beings, mostly I wish I could have done better was learn to speak up for others. When faced with situations where I saw one of my classmates bullying another student in the class, I didn't do a thing. I may have mentally thought about what I could say, but I never made a move. That or it was because I didn't know the best way to roast the bully in question, and with my terrible skills in Japanese I might accidentally compliment them or something.

Now though, I was beginning to regret not doing a thing as I had found myself underneath a pile of rubble after... whatever happened today. All I knew was that there was a blinding light, and I had the misfortune of being covered in the debris. At least, I think I'm underneath the debris of the class. I think there's more rock than there was wood.

And there was nobody to rescue me as I lay there for what seemed two hours before my patience began running low.

'Uh, hello? Is anyone out there? I require assistance!' I thought as I began to move the debris with my arms. It was then I realized something. My arms refused to move. Almost as if they were... not there. 'Ok, this must be some kind of joke, a huge elaborate prank done on the American exchange student, haha, NOW LET ME OUT OF HERE!' I yelled as I began to struggle around with my surroundings.

Feeling rubble fall off, rocks no longer clouding my vision, I saw that my newfound environment was completely different from that of a Japanese structure of a school. And in its place was an elaborate cave tunnel network. Taking the sight in, I could only imagine what I was supposed to do now.

'Ok... think Roger, let's try and figure this out! First off, do I spot any wild animals nearby? Because I do not want a predator to come by and eat me for my flesh!' I thought before squinting my eyes, attempting to get a clear vision of any surrounding inhabitants of the cave. Surprisingly, I could see that my vision reached up to the cave wall, which was right in front of me. Looking around, scanning for any lifeforms that weren't me, I then took a moment to mentally sigh in relief.

'Ok, no scary animals for now... so, next step... see if you broke your limbs... so why can't I feel my arms?' I thought before attempting to move my arms. As that failed, however, I began fearing the worst. 'Ok, maybe they got removed in the worst possible way, don't think about it. Try and feel other parts of your body.' I tried to calm myself down before focusing on moving any necessary body parts.

As I tried to focus, I heard a loud hiss, breaking me out of my concentration. Looking around frantically, I saw a massive white spider move past my vision. I stayed still in an attempt to not get noticed by the beast. As it passed me, going extremely fast while they were at it, I could only think of one tiny thing. 'Ok, who shrunk me down to the size of a spider. I need to have a few words with you!' I thought angrily.

After a few moments passed by, and believing that the spider was gone after it sped off for some inexplicable reason, I then struggled some more and tried to get a feel of my limbs. A few hours later, I finally got all the rocks off me. At this, I took a massive sigh of relief in the real world, only to find it is... different. In, it sounds the same, but it sounds as though my voice was being projected from a text-to-speech device.

"Hey, wait for a second. This doesn't feel right?" I spoke aloud, moving my legs... only to realize I had four legs and felt a pair of somethings weighing me down on my back. Taking the opportunity to look at these newfound forelegs, I saw metal, rusty appendages connected to a rusting chassis of a body. It was then I noticed the decent lack of a neck. I had no neck now... WHY DO I NOT HAVE A NECK?

Shaking my entire body, as my head was now one with my body, I tried to ignore the depression. Instead, I paid attention to the thoughts that screamed about how we were just reincarnated and that spider was not a normal spider. I then decided if I was just reincarnated into one of those similar things with a game-like system, I should test it out. Time to see if a random voice pops out of nowhere to tell me a skill point increased.

"How much does Intimidation cost?" I asked out loud before closing my eyes to wait for a response.

The Skill "Intimidation" costs 100 skill points. You currently have 100 skill points. Would you like to purchase this Skill?

"Holy shit, it actually worked..." I paused at that before realizing this was like those RPG games. I only played games that didn't involve these mechanics, as I played strategy games than I did play RPGs. "Wait, shit, I don't know how that'll help me out... wait... I can do this the old Theodore Roosevelt, utilize the special tactic of 'speak softly and carry a big stick'!" I proudly talked to myself out in the open. With that in mind, I selected the yes option and got my intimidation skill.

Now, if only I had a target to use it on... turning around to be met face to face with five human knights. And they don't look friendly.

'Maybe if I just introduce myself and say that a heretical witch placed a curse on me, they'll bring me back to their cit-.' Before I could even finish that track of thought, one of them raised a bow and arrow and pointed it at me, then shot at me. Luckily the arrow struck the ground right in front of my face. Yeah, I wasn't going to be able to fool them if they think I'm a cool new monster to kill.

So, instead of using my newfound intimidation skill, I decided to book it in the other direction. Leaping into the air, I began to feel a whirling coming from the weights that I felt on my backside. I then discovered happened that they were none other than the propellers. Propellers that you'd find on drones.

Now that I thought about it, it made some sense... what didn't make any lick of sense or logic was the fact that I was a fucking drone in what seemed to be a fantasy setting.

My initial immersion into a fantasy world that I now found myself in was completely and utterly shattered.
