Chapter 58: I'm A Cat?
Chapter 58: I'm A Cat?
When Tyler opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the ground. Everything before him seemed weird. And the fact that even his vision was black and white felt strange.
He blinked multiple times and still couldn't get rid of the black and white color combination from his eyes. His eyes swept past the room only to find that he was inside a modern house.
Tyler was sitting leisurely in one corner of the living room, right beside a round table. There were couches behind and adjacent to him and a flat TV on the wall before his eye. On his left, there was a way to the kitchen and a door in the middle, which he presumed to be the bedroom. And his right was the entrance to the house.
This was a small one-bedroom flat.
But why was he lying on the ground? He couldn't understand. But when he tried to get up, he instantly figured out what was going on. It wasn't like he had been drunk all night and slept on the ground. It was just that he wasn't even human!
He was instead in the body of a Munchkin cat!
Tyler gazed at his little paws in shock. And he wasn't even any cat. He was a kitten!
He had already lost his memories, and the system had reassured him that he would have to wait for a few worlds to get his power back before he could retrieve the memories that were temporarily locked.
And he was naive enough to trust that worthless system!
How could he be a cat?! He really couldn't accept this reality!
Tyler angrily stomped on his feet, only to realize that there was a soft rug beneath him. This time, since he had even lost his memories of his previous worlds, he didn't even think about opening his system to check out the story. He just kept using his four tiny legs and started getting familiar with his new body.
It wasn't until there was a loud irritating noise in his mind that he noticed something off.
Was it the system?
It had already been half an hour ever since he entered this world, and he still hadn't found what was going on. But just as the system interface popped up, the front door opened, and a man wearing a formal white shirt with stripes appeared. His silky black hair fell on his forehead.
But this man didn't even change his shoes at the entrance before glancing at the room. And when his eyesight landed on the little cat staring at the man in confusion, he froze.
The man blankly stared at the cat for a few seconds before a smile formed on his lips. "My Fluffy is hungry?"
Fluffy? Tyler tilted his head in confusion when he realized that it was this cat's name. His face instantly went black.
Just what kind of weird name was this?! He was a strong man! Not some little cute boy. He really didn't want to be called fluffy!
Tyler instantly glared at this man with all his heart.
But this intense stare made him look even more adorable. The man felt an itch in his heart, and he finally gave in to his desires, striding toward the cat and holding it in his arms.
"Do you hate this name?" The man gently scratched the little cat's head and chin, seemingly pleased with his activity. "I'll name you Tyler from now on."
Tyler was stunned, and he suddenly darted his head toward the man, already forgetting his hatred for the weird name fluffy.
Why did he feel like this name was familiar? He blankly stared at the man for a few seconds before he realized something.
Perhaps he had a connection to that name. Does that mean his name was Tyler? Since this man had first said this name, then was this person the man who had come to save him? Tyler squinted his eyes.
It should be, but he felt a little complicated seeing this person. He still didn't know whom to trust. So he lowered his head and found a comfortable position in his arms before focusing lazily on the system screen.
On the other side, the man who had just entered and gathered this person in his arms continued to stare at this little guy for a long time. It seemed that it wasn't enough even if he would continue to look at him without blinking for hours.
In his heart, that man was feeling both relieved and distressed. Relieved because his Tyler was still alive. And distressed because this person had forgotten all about him.
A bitter smile formed on his lips.
Actually, he had been well aware of the fact that Tyler had liked him for a long time. It was just that it took him so much time to reciprocate. And now, when he wanted to confess, the other person forgot him.
Was this his retribution?
At this time, Tyler didn't know what the man holding him was thinking. He felt this man's fingers caressing his head and chin gently, making him feel incredibly sleepy. So he snuggled deeper and squinted his eyes to read the story of this world.
The name of this world was: A cat's revenge!
This world was obviously modern, but the female lead this time was a Japanese girl living in America. Her name was Sato Yui, and she was twenty-two years old, a student studying Music - Piano Pedagogy at the Galvin State University.
Coincidentally, the male lead of this world was a piano teacher in the same school. He was twenty-eight years old and an expert at playing the piano. But what he loved was especially his cat fluffy.
Tyler raised his eyebrows and glanced at the man holding him. There seemed to be a smile on his face while he continued to caress Tyler's hair so affectionately.
The latter lowered his head and continued reading. This man was the male lead. There was no doubt about this.
[The villain was a gay youth named Paul Jones, who was crazily in love with the male lead, Kyle Anderson.]
Tyler suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. Why did he feel like the male lead's name should've started from the letter 'D'?
He ignored this feeling and continued reading.
[Paul was also a piano student, but the music wasn't his passion. The only reason he had joined the class was to stare at this handsome teacher for a long time. And after much deliberation, he finally got the courage to confess his feelings.
But he was ruthlessly rejected. Not even that, Kyle also mocked him publically, saying gay men shouldn't be alive. Those words pierced Paul's heart into pieces, and he ran off. But unfortunately, a fast car on the highway hit him, and he died on the spot.
Coincidentally, when the next moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in the body of Kyle's pet cat. He was perplexed and distressed. But he still had lingering feelings for that person, so he did his best to attract the attention of this person.]
What exactly did Paul do to attract attention? Tyler read carefully, but the information wasn't mentioned. So he temporarily ignored this part and continued reading. He just took note of the critical plot checkpoints that he would need to follow.
He still remembered the system's warning that he had to follow the world's story and make sure not to dwell too much on his memories. And that was what he had decided to do.
After that, he started reading again.
Rebirth was his turning point, but it all went in vain when he saw Kyle making out with Sato Yui in the kitchen.
Then Paul started making trouble for the lady. He thought if this female lead were alive, Kyle wouldn't see him. So he started troubling her. For example, he would ruin every date night that the two of them had planned. He would follow the female lead and scare the heck out of her.
One day, the male lead finally noticed his cat's weird moments and took it to the pet psychologist. The doctor also noticed something wrong and asked him to leave the cat with him for a week.
For fear of being found, Paul didn't do anything exclusive and silently stated for three days. And after that, he sneaked out and went to the male lead's home only to find that they weren't there. He checked the house and realized he and the female lead were getting married somewhere in the foreign country.
When Tyler saw this, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. Did that mean he would have to see the male lead getting married to a random woman?
He glanced at the slender white hand that was scratching his chin and bit that index finger in anger. Even though his teeth weren't sharp yet, he was still trying his best to make this man pay for that marriage! Who told Kyle to get married to that lady in front of him?!
Tyler was so engrossed in his emotions that he failed to see that his actions were completely inappropriate!
