As a Cat, Isn't It Normal to Be Able to Fight?

Jiang Lin is reborn as a stray cat on the street.

Come to think of it, this isn’t so bad. No 996 work schedule, no idiotic boss or clients who keep changing the brief. He can sunbathe every day, and when he gets hungry, he just rubs against someone’s leg and acts cute. There’s always more food than he can eat.

Just as he’s getting hopelessly hooked on this life, he suddenly discovers a hidden side to the world.

Faced with evil spirits constantly eyeing his precious feline life, he unexpectedly acquires a stat-allocation panel. To his surprise, absorbing the special energy scattered throughout the world makes him stronger. From then on, he leaves an immortal legend among humans, demons, and evil spirits alike.

“Seriously, why would you provoke it?”

A demon and an evil spirit both break into a cold sweat, staring nervously at the lazy black cat stretching out its body.

P.S. The protagonist will be bound by a contract early on, but it will be broken later. This isn’t a wish-fulfillment story at the start, and there’s a lot of setup. If that’s not your thing, please move along.
