Author's Note:

After a long time, I think four years, my cousin visited me from the Italian house.

For a month, he, his parents, and his annoying little brother, stayed in my house for a month. There were some beautiful moments and some unbearable moments.

Now, they've left and I miss my cousin. Before returning to Italy and going to university, he told me that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is his favorite animated film.

Plus, a pen pal of mine introduced me to his attempt at a one-shot with the OC in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

For these reasons I decided to write this story.

Story title: The Case of Spider-Gang: Seven heroes, Six Hearted and Miles Morales

Plot: Miles Morales' life has taken a very strange turn, first he is bitten by a spider and gets super-powers, then Spider-Man dies.

Finally, he meets seven spider-themed heroes and a kind of Occult Detective, accompanied by a symbiont named Lovecraft and two strange little animals.

It seems Miles' world has received some particularly eccentric visitors.

Narrator's POV

In a room isolated from the rest of the world, which can be described as a dark space decorated with hundreds of points of light comparable to stars.

In the center of this room, in the large perfect sphere, tinged with the color of the night sky, a wooden chair floats.

Based on its appearance alone, it would be enough to call the chair extravagant, but its wood gave it a refined tone, and you wouldn't think it was a repulsive luxury of the elite.

Rather, just by existing here, it has imbued the surrounding space with conspicuous gravity.

If an unrefined person sat in the chair, that person would likely be consumed by the weight of the chair's existence and hidden from surrounding view.

Such is the meaning of the chair.

The space had been set up for the sole purpose of displaying the chair.

Suddenly an elderly man exuding a solemnity that surpasses that of the chair leaned back into it, letting out a loud creak.

If one were to draw a scaled-down map of the universe based on this room, the man sitting in the chair would be at its center, giving off an air surely suited to his master.

This person is called, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.

Zelretch is known as one of the founders of the Clock Tower and the Magician of the Second Magic.

He holds the title of Wizard Marshal in the Mage's Association. He is known for defeating the Crimson Moon in battle.

Zelretch was a magus of the Age of Gods who studied under King Solomon some time before Solomon's death in 900 BC.

After Solomon died Zelretch witnessed the end of the Age of Gods with his own eyes and disappeared from the center stage.

He became the discoverer of the Second Magic and earned numerous nicknames, including Zelretch the Wizard Marshal.

Physically, Zelretch is nothing special, an elderly man with red eyes, 190 centimeters tall.

He had swept-back gray hair, a messy tangled beard, his clothes were of fine make however, a pristine black suit trimmed in silver, with coattails and everything.

Zelretch is one of the most powerful magic users in the multiverse, thanks to his mastery of Second Magic.

This True Magic grants Zelretch mastery over the Parallel Worlds Operation, which allows him to observe and interact with Parallel Worlds.

Zelretch often uses it to travel through parallel worlds and timelines.

"Let's see if anything interesting is happening." Zelretch mutters in a bored voice, wanting to find an interesting event to observe.

With a wave of his hand, he made a black book appear in front of him, the thickness of the book is approximately that of a standard encyclopedia.

"This axis seems right at the beginning, Miles Morales in almost all scenarios manages to become Spider-Man, but towards the end these lines will be destroyed by Spot if it is not handled properly." Zelretch said, as he slides his finger across the sky, the celestial bodies exposed on the surrounding walls began to rotate.

"Let's see what happens if I add Shirou or EMIYA into the balance... the result is pretty decent... no, it gets worse at the second half of the second show.

Spot could mess up the Unlimited Blade Works or even use it against the Spider-People." Zelretch said, seeing that using his favorite toy will produce too much trouble and too little fun.

Then, as if to match his words, the pages of the book poised before Zelretch turned with a flutter of wings, inscribing multiple pieces of information in real time.

Regardless, as Zelretch guides his finger through the air, thousands... tens of thousands of pages were born and erased.

After continuing this activity again and again, Zelretch ends up with a conclusion.

"As I thought, no matter how this is resolved, it will not result in a satisfactory outcome for the Spider-People or Miles Morales. That said, there is insufficient reason for my interventions." Zelretch said, believing the situation is not serious enough to force direct intervention.

"You know it's rude to show up uninvited at someone's house." Zelretch said, shifting his attention from the book to his surprised guest.

A projection of a blindfolded elderly woman appeared in front of the elderly wizard, sitting on the seat with a spider web showing images of different Spider-Men and Spider-Women from different worlds.

"I could not have entered this place without your letting me." The old woman said in a friendly but serious voice.

This means she is Madam Web, a mysterious woman who time and again plays the role of Spider-Man's Yoda or Oogway.

In short, Madam Web helps Spider-Man and occasionally other people with cryptic clues and warnings.

Madame Web has psychic abilities - telepathy, clairvoyance and prescience, that is, knowledge of all possible outcomes in a situation.

"So, what business do you have here? If you want to have tea, come back later. Unfortunately, I'm busy with some annoying work." Zelretch said, not feeling like chatting with Madam Web.

"Don't be unapproachable to me, you know I came here to help solve this problem." Madam Web said, having already seen the disaster that could happen if this threat is not handled properly.

"If you propose to use your beloved Peter from Earth-92131 or Earth-616? Surely this problem can be solved if we add another Spider-Man." Zelretch said with a voice full of sarcasm, rather tired of seeing hundreds of versions of Peter Parker trying to save the multiverse.

"Unlike the Tablet of Order and Chaos case, this time I'm the one who suggests using your hidden ace up your sleeve." Madam Web said, knowing that adding another Spider-Man won't change the odds in her favor.

Zelretch shakes his head at Madam Web's proposal.

"Shirou and his counterparts can be useful in many situations, but this time they are not suited to the task." Zelretch said with a displeased voice, using Shirou Emiya is his favorite plan B of his.

Not being able to use it is a very annoying thing for Zelretch.

"I'm not referring to Shirou, Hakuno or the Fujimaru twins.

I'm talking about the Wild Card, capable of overturning the board or destroying the board." Madam Web said, proposing to use Zelretch's Z plan which can be considered in some ways like the use of an atomic bomb.

After hearing this proposal, the celestial bodies rotating around the room.

The book in front of Zelretch begins to spin faster than before, flipping pages showing a varied array of protagonists.

Suddenly the book stops, showing two particular pages.

On the left page is a comic book style portrait of an androgynous, almost 19 year old, while the right page shows information and static about the person featured in the illustration.

"That guy is incredibly difficult to handle, but he's proven to be an asset in previous cases.

But he's too strong to play with spiders and could stop Miles from growing up, we have to limit him somehow." Zelretch said with a mischievous smile on his lips.

The old wizard likes to joke with his backup plans, even though many of them would try to kill him in retaliation if given the chance.

"I'll let you take care of the details, I'll just get him to the right place at the right time." Madam Web said, before her projection disappeared, leaving Zelretch alone.

The pages of the book gently turn, showing the same androgynous person, but with small variations and changes.

Eventually, a black and white costume with a slime-like consistency appeared on the individual's body.

All the Spider-People could have said that the suit is a Symbiote.

"I wonder how the spiders will react to the presence of an Occult Detective and his Symbiote." Zelretch said with a smirk as he closes the book.

POVBruce Belmont

Ok... I'll do it once, but only because everyone else has done it and Noir asks me nicely.

My name is Bruce Bel Bahamut Belmont, but almost everyone calls me, Bruce.

I'm about to turn 19 and the last 4 years of my life have been strange and bizarre to say the least.

I've covered Vampires, Beasts of the Night, Witches, Clow Cards, Class Cards, Servants, Holy Grail Wars, Evil Deities, Robot Killers, Contract Assassins, Super-Villains, Super-Heroes, Aliens, Frogs, Toads, Mermen , Medieval Knights, Djinn, Dream Demons, Mad Scientists, Shadows, Personas, Palaces, Miraculous Angels, Akuma, Esper, Magical Gods and a thousand other madnesses.

Unlike everyone else present, I was not bitten by a single spider and did not become an arachnid-themed hero.

I am an Occult Detective who deals with solving mundane cases and especially paranormal cases for those who can afford my services.

My price starts with 5$ for the poor and ends with 50,000$ for the rich, if it is magical customers, the money is replaced by interesting items.

When circumstances prevent me from operating subtly and more direct intervention is needed, I become Arkan Bloodedge or Shoggoth.

Arkan Bloodedge is my first heroic identity and I use it most for dealing with more obvious threats.

Shoggoth is my or rather, our second heroic identity, the two of us created it involuntarily more or less a year ago, when we spent the summer holidays in Paris.

If you were paying attention you realized that I used us instead of me, you see after I finished attending Nevermore Academy, I was kidnapped by the Skrulls.

During my adventure in space, I ended up carrying a stowaway inside my body.

Who knew that a spacesuit in the Collector's archives contained a Klyntar, commonly known as a Symbiote?

However, Shoggoth is at the same time an identity to fight the criminal and keep my roommate happy, plus it allows me to see how I can combine magic with his natural abilities.

To keep you from dying of boredom with my long and complicated story.

Seven hours ago, during a test run of my Symbiote's new ability and new modules, I ended up getting sucked into a space-time fissure.

Then, I found myself in a different New York, with other people who are in the same situation as me.

But the thing that bothers me is the fact that I missed my appointment with Olga-Marie Animusphere.

We had to talk about the conditions and costs of my services to join the initiative, Chaldea.
