Chereads / The Cat in a Bazar / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

I watch as the blond-haired human sprints up the road. Suddenly one of the cloaked creeps stopped and whipped out a crossbow, shooting a black bolt at the man. He barely dodges the shot and whips his head around to confront them. Is he an idiot? Why would he just stop right now, it is not as if he would get an advantage…

"I will never surrender!" Blondey says.

One of the cloaked men leaps toward him, brandishing a long pointy sword. This causes the blonde to drop the book, it skids across the dirt road and lands next to the stall where, I, the awesome smart cat am watching. The blonde grimaces and then takes out a vial of something and threw it on the ground, smoke billowed outward and all around, clouding the whole street in white smoke. It is time. I leap forward, my paws skittering across the dirt road and I leap towards the book, grabbing it with my mouth before scrambling back into the confines of Grigori's stall. I slump down, as it is quite laborious to grab such a heavy thing with my mouth. Grigori snores next to me, completely oblivious to the fact that smoke is billowing around him.

"Clang! Clang!" I hear the sound of a sword clashing with a sword down the street when suddenly, I realize something, "where is my holy bible-nya!?" I meow.

I see it on the floor. It must have dropped when I was climbing up, my tail must have wacked it off! You see, us cats have very strong tails that can do many things. We can grab stuff with them, drag stuff, and even sort of fight with them, so I must have accidentally pushed it off…

To answer the question of some people, why didn't I use my tail to grab the book, well, our tails may be strong but they are not long enough to wrap around it. For example, if you have something out of reach and you try to use a stick to get it and it is not long enough doesn't that render the stick useless.

Well, that is a sort of lame comparison but anyway, wait why am I even thinking about this, my holy bible! I see the blonde make his way over, blood dripping as he grabs the holy bible, mistaking it for the black book thing. He quickly staggers away quickly with the hooded people hot on his tail. I meow in protest and stamp my tail, dissatisfaction evident.

"Why-nya is my life so bad-nya!" I exclaim waving my paws in the air. Hopefully, this book is any good… I look at the title. "Shadow King's Will". Well, this sounds ominous and sort of lame. I flip open the page and suddenly the world around me changes. I can see a figure inside of this flat land with me. In front of me is six grand pillars, each with some mystical rune carved on them. I walk towards them when suddenly I hear something.

"Hello, young one" I spring upwards, alert and serious.

"No need to feel alarmed, I am the Shadow Lord, a once all-powerful being with the power to fight gods." The being speaks to me in a low ominous voice.

"What do you want-nya?!" I meow viciously.

"The first person to open this book was to receive my legacy." The Shadow Lord speaks again after a pause.

"I am not a person-nya…" I meow quietly.

"What?" The Shadow Lord says to me.

"I am a cat, not a person-nya, actually a very intelligent cat-nya thank you very much..." I proclaim proudly.

Shadow Lord: ….

Moon: "What-nya?"

"A cat has inherited my legacy…" He speaks.

"You-nya have a problem with this, Mr. Depressing Lord-nya?" I meow silently

"That is quite rude-nya, judging a being by their race…" I mutter at him.

The Shadow Lord guy pauses for a long minute while I pace around in circles.

"Well, all is the same, the first one to open the book shall obtain my legacy" He slowly says.

"My legacy is split into six parts, each pillar, you will know if you have mastered a portion of the legacy if you see a pillar", the Shadow Lord says.

"I already see all six though-nya?" I meow.

"Probably because we cats-nya have night vision-nya!" I exclaim proudly showing off my species.

Shadow Lord:...

"Are they glowing?" He asks slowly.

"No." I meow.

"That means you have not mastered them." The Shadow Lord says to me.

"So you cannot see them-nya?" I smirk at him.

So much for Shadow Lord, can't even see in the dark, what a LOSER. (Being disdainful)

"So how-nya do I light up these pillars-nya?" I cross my paws and wait for the Mr. Lord Man guy to say something.

"Here," He says and a wisp of light enters my head and suddenly thousand of memories enter my head.

"Thousand ways of eternal Darkness-nya, whoever made-nya this title has no taste-nya…" I meow in displeasure.

"I did…" The Dark Lord awkwardly speaks.

"Well get a better one-nya.", I sharply say…

What kind of cultivation manual is called that? I mean the contents are cool but the name sucks, we cats believe in straightforward non-cheesed names, like for example, something a human would call "Divine Hurricane Wind Sword art", we would call "Swordsmanship that makes a lot of wind and is very fast." A cultivation manual is not supposed to be confusing, if you want to put Divine Hurricane, then make it actually be able to actually dish out a "divine" hurricane, stupid idiot poopyheads.
