It's Hard to Believe My Cat Is a Gaming Pro

Lin Li has been having a hard time lately.

His cat used to have just two skills: wrecking the house and eating too much. Recently, though, it developed a third skill: turning into a human.

Whether it suddenly transforms while out on a leash or lands on him like a mountain while he's making cat food, being a pet owner has become a huge source of stress. Raising a giant cat is more troublesome than he could ever have imagined, and he also has to put up with his gaming friends teasing him.

Friend: "LIN, why haven't you been playing since you moved in with your partner?"

What the hell, a partner?

But the cat's love is too overwhelming, its limbs wrapped around his neck until he can barely breathe. Lin Li can only grit his teeth and swallow his complaints. "Can't help it. I have to spend time with my boyfriend."

There's no way he's telling the truth.

Turning an animal into a human is black magic that violates criminal law. Rather than admit this is his cat, he'd rather make up a story and stake his innocence on it.

Lin Li: "Good kitty, mwah! Could you stop turning human and parkouring all over me while I'm gaming?"

Cat: (claws out) (sharpening claws) Meow!

Damn it! Who the hell cast such a vicious, tormenting spell on his cat?

The cat has been having a hard time lately.

Its homebody owner is out and about every day, never home, leaving the house cold and lonely. Life is so boring that the cat has to find ways to entertain itself.

But one day, it accidentally puts on the full-dive game helmet in the study...

Friends, the door to a whole new world has opened.

The Arrival of the Gods is the most popular full-dive game in the world today, famous for its unrestricted combat and endless variety of game modes. Recently, a rumor has begun circulating among players.

They say a player who appears and disappears without a trace is killing people with swift, ruthless precision. From the top-ranked experts to newbies doing quests by the roadside, everyone is a target, and they are often killed in one hit before they even realize what's happening.

All that remains is a kill announcement and a chilly voice line.

[You have been killed by player LIN, meow~]

The Meow God is terrifying!

Lin Li hasn't logged into the game in ages. Now that the black magic has been traced, he finally has a few days to relax.

He puts on the helmet and enters the game, wondering which map to visit next to gather herbs as a casual player, when a blood-red login notice suddenly fills his view.

[Congratulations, player LIN, on killing 100,000 players. You have earned the world title: God of the Storm.]

Lin Li: .

Lin Li: ???

What happened? I'm just an ordinary casual player!
