Cat, You Can Summon an Army of the Dead

[The new novel next door, The Invincible Savior Is Confused, is now out!]

Motemer is a little mage.

After a magical accident, he appeared out of thin air in a completely unfamiliar place.

Gazing at the towering steel skyscrapers he had never seen before and the huge metal lumps rushing about everywhere, Motemer immediately used the magic he was best at: summoning the undead.

A man calling himself "Hyperion, King of the Ancient Dragons" stepped out of the summoning circle. The previous second, he had been saying something about refusing to become a necromancer's servant. The next, he fell silent.

"The one who summoned me... is a cat?" The tall, muscular man wore a splendid robe covered in gemstones, and his expression was complicated.

Motemer proudly puffed out his tiny, snow-white, fluffy chest.

So what if he's a cat? Can't a cat summon an undead army?

He had a chance to become the greatest and most evil necromancer in history, meow!

With the help of his undead servants, Motemer gradually settled into life in the new world.

Want something tasty? Send a servant.

Want a comfortable place to live? Send a servant.

Want to deal with some little fluffy nuisances? Send a servant for that, too.

What, you think Hyperion might get too busy if he's the only one being ordered around?

Simple. He'll just summon some more.

The Elf King had died long ago in the divine war, only to be summoned after death by a necromancer. He had planned to resist to the bitter end, but now he stared at the familiar faces gathered before him, feeding the cat, brushing its fur, and fanning it to keep it cool. Slowly, he formed a question mark.

Hyperion, who had only looked away for a moment and discovered yet another servant had been summoned, this time his old rival, gritted his teeth. "Am I not enough? How many more are you going to summon?!"

The long-lived races drawn to the tremendous burst of magic that suddenly erupted above X City saw Motemer and were moved to tears.

After several centuries without a single birth, they had finally seen a living magical creature's young again! It was truly heaven's blessing!

But before they could try every trick in the book to lure Motemer into going home with them, they saw...

"My king?!" x N

The Red Dragon Hyperion, king of the dragons, had been infamous in life for his cruelty, ruthlessness, and love of battle. At the words, he glanced at his subjects without a flicker of interest, then lowered his head and tried once again to sneak a lick of the cat, only to be stopped by a merciless flurry of cat punches.

The long-lived races of every kind, who had seen a ghost (in more ways than one), were stunned.

From them, Motemer belatedly learned that he hadn't come to another world at all. He'd come a thousand years into the future, to a time when magic had been lost.

No matter. It was the perfect time to show the people of the future what an undead catastrophe led by the greatest necromancer in history looked like!

Motemer bared his tiny, evil fangs.

Extra Scene:

Motemer curiously examined his human hands and feet. Suddenly, the cat ears atop his head twitched sharply, and he looked back warily.

Hyperion stood silently behind him. At some point, he'd moved very close, his huge shadow enveloping Motemer completely.

Motemer planted a hand on Hyperion's soft, firm pectoral muscles and held him back, warning him sternly, "Dragon, even though I've turned into a weak human, don't think you can lick me!"

Feeling the touch against his chest, Hyperion's throat bobbed involuntarily. "Of course... Of course."

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the tail swaying between Motemer's bare thighs.

Before, all he wanted was to defeat the gods, rule the world, and enjoy that supreme power all to himself. But now...

He wanted to be the boss cat, too.

(PS: In the world of cats, only the higher-ranking cat is allowed to lick the lower-ranking one.)

Yulian is an experienced savior bound to a System.

Once again, he arrived in a new world and skillfully dealt with every threat that could destroy it:

Powerful alien beasts, humans destined to die at crucial turning points, conflicts between ordinary people and ability users...

Even She Hui, whom the System had identified as one of the elements that would destroy the world, had accidentally married him. Thanks to Yulian's efforts, She Hui had turned over a new leaf and abandoned his evil plan to blow up the entire planet.

Human society was thriving, and his married life with She Hui was peaceful and happy. All that remained was to responsibly stay by She Hui's side for the rest of his life, then leave this world.

But the System informed him that his mission was incomplete.

Yulian: "?"

Late one night, the System finally tracked down the one who had slipped through the cracks and caused his mission to remain incomplete.

The target was less than a meter away.

Yulian slowly turned his head to look at She Hui, who was sleeping beside him with his arms around him.

She Hui sleepily opened his eyes, kissed Yulian, then drifted back to sleep, content.

Yulian: "?"

*

She Hui, commander-in-chief of the Office of Abnormal Threat Defense, was the strongest ability user: cold, domineering, and socially inept. Yet after marrying an ordinary person, he catered to his lover's every whim, changing everyone's opinion of him. He had a secret.

He had been reborn.

In his previous life, he had glimpsed the future in a dream: a holy-looking god descended upon the world, saved it single-handedly, then quietly left.

At the time, he was young. He scoffed at this illusory savior, but in the most secret corner of his heart, he buried an expectation he wouldn't even admit to himself.

But the future he'd dreamed of never came to pass.

He watched helplessly as a world without a god marched toward its end, powerless to do anything about it.

Reborn at twenty-seven, She Hui was tired of it all. He just wanted to destroy this doomed, decaying world before it was too late.

Until, at a fleeting glance, he saw a pair of pure eyes he had only ever seen in his dreams.

She Hui calmly arranged for the government to use an excuse to get them married. As he looked at his distorted, demon-like face reflected in the glass, he had only one thought:

He would fulfill the vow he'd made before dying in his previous life. He would destroy this tardy god. He would... corrupt the god.

At any cost.
