Under the cover of night, I stretched my new cat body and explored the Demon Palace.
The protagonist of this book is the top disciple of the Skyguard Sect. It's a standard 'level-up and collect a harem' fantasy. I'm just cannon fodder. A pretty-face who gets killed off before even joining the hero's harem.
And the villain, Kaelen... the book described him as evil and ruthless.
But I latched onto the important part: 'Strong build, eight-pack abs.'
I mean... I have to go see, right?
It was only as I was climbing Kaelen's roof that I slowly realized...
...I really am a pervert.
This brief moment of self-reflection made me slip. A powerful force wrapped around my neck and yanked me down.
The world spun, and I fell into water.
MRRROW!
I shrieked and scrambled out of the water, coming face-to-face with two magnificent pecs.
I looked up. Kaelen was studying me.
"A cat?"
A low-level demon scrambled in. "M-My Lord! Forgive me! I'll dispose of this pest at once!"
He lunged for me. I struggled, fell back in the water, and tried to kick off the bottom of the pool to launch myself.
I... kicked the wrong spot.
There was a low grunt.
I was lifted out of the water again.
Oho.
This kitty... is toast...
