Li Shuhao and Chen Yunli won the lottery jackpot. Before they could even laugh out loud, a beam of Cat God light dragged them into the continent of Aisland. When they opened their eyes again, one man and one cat, they were both kittens.
The law of the jungle ruled here. Knights were ranked by whether they could shapeshift: those who couldn't were lowly beast knights, while only those who could take human form were worthy of talking about honor.
He became Xunfeng, a black cat with a blade of grass in his mouth and a blue scarf around his neck. Later, a feathered cowboy hat would crown his dashing style.
Chen Yunli became Jiamian, a white cat with a red scarf and a smile that concealed a blade.
Bound to the Meow God System, they took in the white wolf sisters Xingye and Xinggui, then gathered the red panda Tuantuan, the lamb Mianmian, the Shiba Inu Benben, the little fox Zhuyue, the otter Jiaojiao, the bunny Judy, and more, forming a good-for-nothing beast squad dumped by the Knights' Academy in a tack room full of junk.
The nobles mocked them: "What are cats and dogs doing with swords?"
Their instructor abandoned them: "You'll never shapeshift. You'll be servants for life."
Their classmates betrayed them: "All you're good for is bait."
But they had no idea:
Xunfeng split the testing stone with one swipe of his paw, while Jiamian cut a noble's crest in two with a single stroke of his sword.
They kicked the Goblin King's head around like a ball, had a saddle ready for the evil dragon, and made the Demon King kneel and listen to a cat meow.
From the stables to the sanctuary, from discarded cats to wandering swordsmen.
Years later, one line was all anyone on the continent ever said:
"Don't mess with that cat. When he smiles, your life is already his."
