Heya Samurai,
I know, I know, it's not a chapter, or really important news, but still, I wanted to make a thank-you post, and it's 2:27AM, and I'm a little emotional, so you're going to have to endure my enthusiasm for a moment!
Stray Cat Strut has hit 10,000 followers!
That's... that's kind of insane!
SCS started a pretty long time ago, but I remember taking several long walks while I hashed out the details of the story. It was relatively soon after I started Cinnamon Bun, and I wanted to write something special.
It took some time, but I eventually decided that I wanted to write a story that was written in a way that it was easy for people to want to project themselves into the story. So I looked to stories where that's easy and took notes and inspiration from them.
It probably doesn't show too much, but the main inspirations for Stray Cat Strut's system are Worm by Wildbow, RWBY, and Harry Potter. Stories that have a large fanbase and avid readers. I wanted that, a world that people could project themselves, or a cooler version of themselves, into.
As far as stylistic and genre influences, Stray Cat Strut mostly has its roots in classic Cyberpunk. Neuromancer and Snow Crash are some of my faves. There's also a heavy dash of BAHHSSCQ in there! (If you can find that one, give it a read, and all hail Bread-chan!)
Anyway, I'm rambling a little. I've had a lot of cool ideas, and some less-cool ones, and most of the time they only end up being a little novel that I write mostly for myself, with few readers and fewer fans.
I'm really happy that Stray Cat Strut was one of the exceptions, and that so many people have come to enjoy it this much!
I still have a lot of ideas to explore, and stories to tell within this world, so don't worry! I'll only end when my heart finally give out
Thank you, sincerely, for being here and for reading and commenting and just being part of this!
Keep warm; stay cool,

Before They Came (Magical Apocalypse)
Our way of life it ended faster than we ever thought possible. It didn't happen with a nuclear war, an asteroid, or a damn ice age. It ended because of another war, far away from us. The Ripples from that war changed the fabric of everything. If only we had known that it was just the beginning. Btw, the beginning chapters are short, but get longer as the story goes on. Thank you for your time and your patience. CLARIFIER: The MC struggles with himself. He has human flaws including IGNORANCE. The MC starts the story out drunk, which has a major impact on the story in the beginning and way beyond. The story takes time to unfold, please be patient. This story does not shy away from the darker elements of life.

Cards of the Royal Guard
Within the laws of the world, only 16 people are allowed to obtain a given "name". The Gods deemed these 16 people as the rightful rulers of the world and demanded that any being who obtains a name would be punished. They designated one person to become the "Queen" of the 15 people. Once the "Queen" was chosen, "Queen" was then allowed to name 15 other people as the chosen ones to her Royal Guard. A chance encounter with Queen gave birth to King's name and with that he became the first to be named as one of her Royal Guard. Hidden beneath her smiling gestures of kindness towards King, Queen bears a daring spirit against the rules of God. Her agenda? To obtain the right for humans to give names to themselves so that everyone may be of equal value. But to do that, she must first find a way to break the ruling of the Gods and the various problems surrounding "names".

Systrem Amusments
For as long as history has been recorded, the scrolls have held power over all life on the continent. When a blight was forthcoming, the scrolls foretold it. When dangerous beasts reared their faces in civilised society, the scrolls chose the bravest and brightest to defend our way of life. It is only fair, then, that the scrolls would guide our brave adventurers through every step they should take upon \The Path/. Take heart, you intrepid four, for your scroll within your grasp connects you to the will of the world itself. Follow where it leads, and you will find your path to greatness. -Prefect Chelbun; The Initiated's Guide to Adventure Solomon always took the words of his scroll to heart. Where the scroll led, he would have his team follow. Any doubts his team may have were always dashed away by the words scrawled upon that ethereal parchment. Were that ever to fail, swift dicipline would bring his team in line. When the scroll told him to take his first retirement early, he was more than willing to return home and spend the next five years in comfort. It's such a shame, then, that Solomon's team had other plans for him. Clive was never was a fan of the rules, but he still played his part. Despite this, every moment was spent seeing how far he could strech things before he was broken back into line. Now that he was 'retired', however, he had much more room to stretch himself. Now he's got a plan, one that might just make the rules bend his way, for once. Meanwhile, some intrepid new adventurers are ready to make a name for themselves. Fresh off their initiation, they've already received their first quest, their first tale to tell around the hearth. Chances are good, however, that this story is beyond anything they were expecting. On a journey through uncharted territory, laberinthine cities, and conspiracies older than time itself, only one thing is certain. Whatever comes their way, it's sure to be an amusing tale.
