Un-named, the Arachnid queen of Arcanis's Dungeon.
In the darkest corner of the cave exists an undiscovered dungeon, ruled by no one and domain of no god, the unknown dungeon is only known for its untapped abundant resources hidden deep in a massive cave system.
Legend said that the place was once Demon God's home and it was the place where all life started, but as time passed, the young, peerless Demon God became more reckless, he started practicing destructive magic and provoking conflicts to happen between various races, sometimes it is a conflict in a single race happened because of his actions too.
As a result of the event, many races left the Demon God's domain and migrated to other areas to begin their life anew, bringing their forever burning hatred for other races who antagonized and forced them out of their paradise in the process.
After centuries of desertion, the Demon God's domain turned into a hazardous dead zone, a place where only feral beasts remained as they fight each other days after days to stay on top of the food chain, the place was forgotten by many and later on forsaken by the Demon God himself as he abandon the place to seek for a new playground.
The forsaken place is widely known as the Dark Land of Arcanis to this day.
20 years ago when a group of dwarven prospectors to the Dark Land of Arcanis to explore the place, they found a massive and complex cave system, the cave was studied and known to be home of many ferocious beasts, at the same time it was also a promising land where all kind of ores and gems could be found without much difficulty, and the amount and variety of the ores and gems increases as the dwarven explorers went deeper into the cave, the dwarven prospector's leader was requested the drawven explorers to establish a mining town there by his king, the man became the first sentient being to settle down in the Darkland of Arconis ever since the great migration several dozen millennias ago.

During the mining town construction, Judgment Day happened, followed by the Arachnid queen laid her eggs and watched over them ferociously, rumors said no one has ever managed to return alive after they stumbled onto the beast's nest.
And as the eggs hatched, the Arachnid queen came down to kill off the weak hatchlings as they became her meal while the hatchling fought each other for their own survival, in the midst of chaos 2 hatchlings formed a pact with each other and escaped the area to find a safer place to feed and evolve into new matured Arachnid queens.
The two beasts were a part of unfortunate reincarnators who failed to secure a Race body for themselves as they settled down in newborn feral beasts' vessels and lived on as the new Apex predator of the wild. These reincarnators were known as the Second wave as they came after the First wave reincarnators were born.
The two powerful Arachnid Queens after slain and devoured their new mother, they became the Apex predators of Arachnid hive, a hive with 2 queens. Together they invaded the deepest floor of the cave and slain the strongest being in the forsaken dungeon, Arcanis the Grievous Dragon, a forgotten, yet still loyal pet of the Demon God.
The two queens also found out that the cave they lived in was truly a run down ancient dungeon which belonged to Arcanis, but now as its rightful owner had been slain, the dungeon called for a new master, and only one of the queen can be the new owner of the ancient dungeon.
The queens were polite and neither of them wanted to fight for such a trivial position, both queens wanted a free and enjoyable life rather than stuck in a place and watching a forsaken place. The two spent several months debating who should be the new dungeon master and what action should be taken for the best result, one day the two decided to play a little game, the two queens split up and formed their own hive to battle each other, they decided the one who had their hive defeated by the other one would become the new master of the dungeon.

Or at least that was what the two queens agreed upon, as the queen found out the other had disappeared mysteriously, its hive remained, but all the memories that the remaining queen once had with the disappeared queen fade away uncontrollably, the queen was confused and enraged by the event as it sent out its hive members to find its missing friend, but all of its efforts were all for nothing, the queen's best friend is no longer in this world.
Unable to mourn for its missing friend, the queen decided to take the dungeon's offer and became its master as it clings on the last bit of memory with its friend that it can remember. From there the Arachnid Queen continues training and watching its hive evolving in the deepest layer of the dungeon, sometimes the queen would send some of its warriors on the upper area to seek for any trace of its forgotten friend, and sometimes the queen would try to breed another pair of queens to remind itself that it once had a friend.
Now, the queen has ended its long slumber as it heard something refreshing from its warrior for the first time in the last 7 years since it became the dungeon's master, the queen thought it friend has returned in a new form, and the queen wanted to challenge its new friend to end what the two started a long time ago and to remind its friend of the queen's existence without knowing that the machine has nothing related to its forsaken companion.
The queen breeds and wakes up its slumbering hive members as it rushes them into work, the queen rushes everyone to clean up the old hive and prepare for a new one to start a skirmish against the machine. The queen 'smiles' happily as it thinks it can finally remember its friend.
"Soon...No longer alone."
