I Picked Up an All-Purpose Kitty

Scheduled to go on sale from Chapter 20 on November 12. Please don't buy the chapters twice, dear readers!

Nan Wu had lived in an orphanage for as long as she could remember.

She was frail and often sick, spending most of her time lying on a shabby little bed and watching the other children play happily in the sunshine through a hole in the wall. Sadly, eventually she lost her sight, too.

Nan Wu thought her life would always be this way. But at the very end of it, she suddenly heard rapid footsteps, along with a strange voice in her mind.

Aaaah! I have to save Wu Wu!

Then a little black cat leaped onto the orphanage windowsill.

[I didn't want to save you at first, but now I need your power. Give me your heart, and I'll make you the most powerful person in the world.]

Nan Wu thought about it, then asked, "Does being the most powerful mean I can get out of bed?"

[Yes.]

Not only will I help Wu Wu stand up, I'll send her soaring through the sky! But I'm too weak right now. It'll probably take a long, long time to make her better. No, no, from now on I'll train hard and give Wu Wu everything in the world that's best!

Nan Wu smiled and teased him.

"Will I be able to see the stars and moon again, and Mama Warden and you?"

[...Yes.]

Aaaah! Wu Wu wants to see me! She really does like me best!

"Hehe, I promise. Thank you, Big Brother Meow."

The black cat's ears started to itch.

[I'm not your brother. Call me Your Lordship.]

Aaaah! Wu Wu called me her big brother! I'm on top of the world!

Listening to the little black cat's thoughts, Nan Wu felt around for the candy she had treasured and offered it to him. Just like Mama Warden used to comfort her, she kissed his little ear.

"Thank you, Lord Meow."

Next novel: A Guide to Growing Vegetables in the Apocalypse

Blurb: Jiang Guoguo was a little purple ground cherry plant. One day, as she spread her purple leaves to bask in the sun, she suddenly realized she had transmigrated into the apocalypse as a pitiful little girl.

When danger struck, the girl's adoptive parents shoved her out to take the hit. Her loving grandparents were bitten and fell unconscious while protecting her.

When Jiang Guoguo opened her eyes, her plant body protected her from harm and healed the old couple. It also gave her the special talent of growing vegetables.

In other places, people fight over food?

At Guoguo Paradise, all you have to do is work hard, and you'll have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.

In other places, people worry about mutant creatures breaking in?

At Guoguo Paradise, all you have to do is shut the gates and play Plants vs. Zombies.

This is a true paradise.
