I couldn't believe it when I opened my eyes. Instead of seeing the blue sky and the cold asphalt, I saw green leaves and brown earth. Instead of feeling the pain of death, I felt soft fur and big ears. Instead of hearing the ambulance sirens, I heard the chirping of birds and the rustling of wind. I was a cat.

How could this be? I clearly remembered how I threw myself in front of the car to save a kitten. I remembered how I felt my life slipping away from me. I remembered how I told myself that I regretted nothing, that I did a good thing. But now… now was I the cat? Was it a punishment or a reward?

I didn't know what to do. My life until then wasn't too happy anyway.My name is Ryuu. I was 17 years old, a mediocre student with no friends and no prospects for the future. My only dream was to live a normal life, like anyone else. To have a girlfriend, to get married, to be happy. But now… now everything was in vain.

As I looked around me, I realized I was in a forest.

The other animals in the forest were friendly to me, even though they didn't know why I looked different from them.

My only problem was that I was still a small creature in this big world.

And I didn't know what dangers I might face.

But then, as I walked a little, I found a robe and something strange on the ground.

It was a weird stick, like a wand, and it had some kind of aura around it, as if it was magical…

I didn't know who left it there.

When I tried to touch the wand with my paw, suddenly a light came out of it.

Huh? I became human again!? But wait… Why…am I a girl? Was I a female cat?

I looked at myself in a nearby puddle. I had long black hair, big blue eyes, and a cute face. I also had a slender body, with curves in the right places. And of course, I had ears and tail as a cat.

How old was I? I tried to remember how old I was when I died. 17 years, right? But this body looked younger. Maybe 14 or 15? I couldn't tell for sure.

Hahhhhh…At least I have a human body now.

And it seems that I kept my cat features.

Now I have a loli body with ears and tail as a cat.

God, why are you so relentless with me?

I then dressed with the robe I found to cover my body. And I also took the wand.

Now, where should I go…?
