In the beginning, there was only the Thread—an invisible strand woven through every reality, binding all Spider-Totems across the multiverse. Some called it fate. Others, destiny. But for those chosen by the Web… it was a burden, a calling, and a curse.
In countless worlds, there is a Peter Parker. A Miles Morales. A Gwen Stacy. A Silk. A Peni Parker. A Ben Reilly. But in one forgotten dimension, no Spider-Man remained.
He had fallen.
His world collapsed, erased from time—not by accident, but by design.
That design had a name: The Riftmaster.
Once a hero, the Riftmaster was a Spider-Person who broke. Betrayed by fate, corrupted by despair, and reshaped by a force deeper than the Web itself — The Cracked Legion, born from shattered timelines and forbidden power.
From the ruins of his universe, the Riftmaster began tearing holes between realities, seeking to rewrite all existence in his image.
Now, strange anomalies whisper across the multiverse. Portals open in the sky. Forgotten villains appear where they shouldn't exist. Time warps. Space fractures.
And something… or someone… is calling to the Spiders who remain.
A new hero rises in this chaos. He is no ordinary Spider-Man. He is born from the fragments of fallen timelines, shaped by mystery, theory, rebellion — a Spider with no home, and every home.
His name is Arachnis.
And his story begins the moment the sky tears open.
