After a long time, he didn't know exactly how long but, when he came to his sense, he somehow knew the world was already changed.

Where am I? Why am I here again?

Half-awake, he didn't bother to open his eyes just yet, and tried to play death while using his senses to check the surrounding. He could felt the warm wind of the summer, the itchy of the grasses poking near his ribs, and from not faraway, the sounds of many birds chirping to each others, and finally, the familiar smell of a countryside that he had went through with many summers. After a while, saw that no one attacked him yet, the cat calmed down and recalled the events that happened to him recently.

"Okay, now we need to recap everything at once. Let's see... The plane fell out of the sky. Everyone die. I die. Got another chance. Old man. Light Spirit. Cat. That's should be all of them, I guess. Now, this is the new world that they mentioned about?"

He opened his eyes, only to close it half a second later, the sun on the sky was so bright that it directly burn his eyes. Slowly rose up from where he was lying, the cat stood up with his rear legs, lightly brushed the grasses stuck on his fur away and looked around. It seemed that he was teleported to a large field of weeds and the other small plants with no one nearby, only a few cow-like animals chewing their lunches nearby. Now that he looked at the surrounding, he saw a blue note was floating next to him, and a small pocket lying on the ground.

One-time NoticeTo open status window, use the command "Status".To view an item's stats, use the command "Inspect"

There was only these two lines on the note, no instruction or anything else to help him in the beginning, Didn't think deeply about it, the black cat opened his status window:

"Meow." (Status)

Nothing happened.

"Meow?"

Still nothing.

Okay, now that's weird. I clearly said status, why is nothing happen? Or maybe ...

He thought inside his head. Status.

Alright, that's more convenient than to shout status every time I want the thing open then.

Dismissed the note and the window away with a swipe of his paw, the cat changed his attention to the small pouch. Pushed his right hand into the pouch with a thoughtful face, he tried to pull all of its contents out. It turned out, the pouch wasn't small at all, as he found 10 M.R.E packets inside, plus a shirt inside. Couldn't touch anything else, he poked his head inside too see. However, it wasn't like a big pouch from his point of view, it was like he was looking through a tent's ceiling instead. Get out of the pouch, he looked back at the items. Might as well as check their stats. Inspect!

Meal, Refuse to ExitType:Healing itemDurability:14/15Quality:CommonA packet of food and water that can be used any time out of combat. Will be spoiled if stay under sunlight for too long.

+ 50 health

+ 30% Satiety

+ 30 mana

P/s: As the name stated, have fun with the call of nature.

Crude shirt Type:Defense itemDurability:10/10Quality:BasicA worn out shirt made by a novice a long time ago. May as well as call it as rags.

+1 defense

Even if it was rags or not, 1 defense will actually boost his defense up by 100%, so he quickly equipped it. The strange thing is, the shirt was too big for him in the beginning, but after a few seconds, it reduced its size so he can actually fit inside. Maybe it was a game mechanic, as he recalled an item in any games can still get equipped by anyone without worrying about size. And the 10 M.R.E were a good start, 50 health is basically a triple of his health right now, if he ignored the P/s thingy.

Put everything back to the pouch, he tied it around his waist. Since he didn't have a map, he then had two choices to pick where to go, either to the forest he saw from afar, or go to the some lines of smokes from a town, if he guessed it right. Due to his instinct, he should probably go to the forest to gain some extra experiences first. While thinking like that, he happily skipped to the direction of the green trees.

Only to be chased out 5 minutes after.

The first step he put into the forest, he saw all kind of color eyes stared back to him. Using the cat advantage, he climbed up the nearest tree right away to scan the situation. Despite the bright sunshine right outside the forest, this place's atmosphere is completely different, as if he went to an another dimension already. It was very dark, the tree were old and extreme high, but he felt that animals, or rather monsters, were watching him.

Location StatusName:North Alysium ForestLevel Suggestion:5-15An old forest lie to the north of Alysium town

Level 5-15? A bit too high for me at the moment, guess I will just come back later.

He jumped down the tree then turned back the direction of the town instead. However, as he just went about three steps forward, he heard *crack crack* sounds as if someone steps on dead leaves behind them. Felt a chill run across his back, the cat peaked around, then sprinted forward with full speed without thinking twice. All he saw behind him was a large bear creature, with a mouth full of teeth ready to chomp him down.

S-Status!

Monster status: Name: Big Bad BearStatus:HungryA big normal bear resides in the North Asyium Forest, however, he is hungry and will chase his prey (you) until one of you is gone away from the surface of Arstarth.

The description is too long, that just means he will hunt me until I'm dead!

Even with high agility growth, with level 1 and the pitiful health, he couldn't stand a chance against that bear against one-on-one combat. The bear didn't give up after they were already out of the forest, and his speed wasn't that slow against the cat, either. After fifteen minutes, the cat started to feel tired and lost his speed steadily. He got to think of a plan soon enough, or he would become a munching toy for the bear.

Well, I got one plan, but the risk is too high. If I make one mistake, I will be dead.. Oh, whatever, I'll be dead if I don't do anything anyway.

With that, the cat who was running suddenly put up a halt and put his left leg out on the bear's track. Couldn't stop that quickly, the bear tripped on the cat (the whole cat, not only its leg) and rolled a head for a small distance. Still, the cat lost 4 health due to being tripped on. Hurriedly, he unequipped his shirt and dashed to the bear who were having troubles getting up.

"Meoww!" (Take this!)

He quickly tied two pair of limbs of the bear up together, using the shirt as the rope.

Get the rope through here, a knot there and everything together. Yep, I'm a genius."

"Nyahahahahaha..."

The bear laid down the ground silently, glared at the cat. Gleefully in his victory, he poked his claws at the head of the bear, danced around it, then jump on its body. Who's your daddy big bear, who's your daddy?

"...hahahahaeeeeek!"

The bear forcefully tore down the shirt (aka rags) and snatched the cat who was dancing on his body. Being caught off guard, the cat squirmed around in the bear hands for a while, up and down, hoping for his luck be put into use, but no such luck. Tried to make a best smiling face to the bear, he said.

"Meeooww, meoww?" (Forgive me, please?)

The bear grinned back to him. Big Bad Bear was a gentleman too, so it agreed. He forgave the cat, after beat it into a pulp and took five of its M.R.E away.
