《Mistaken as a Cat》 Prolong - Launch I stumped. You probably wondering what am I talking about? Well for first of all, I''m staring at a naked male model and it''s a game model. Except it looks so real, I feel like I''m peeking at a naked guy. See what I mean? I don''t even know how I can react to this, it was so sudden. Well, let''s talk about what happened an hour ago. I was playing a game, but it has a weird game title, it''s a stupid title that makes you say "What?". So the game called "This game", well, did you thought of saying "What?". No? Well, I don''t care about your opinion but if you did, then I had the same reaction. Anyway, "This game" is the hardest game of the year due to its unfairness, why you ask? Because this game will try out to kill you from any possibility, I''ll break it down for you: Traps - Death Boss - Death Monsters - Death Eating Spoilt Food - Death Raw Food - Death Don''t ask why, but the food can kill you, it''s game logic; a stupid game logic. The food is so sarced that half of the time, if you really want to eat the raw food to stay alive, you will die. Perharps you would be thinking, just die and refill your hunger. Well, no. Just no, it''s common sense in this game that if you die from any careless mistake, you will respawn all the way back to the beginning of the map, there''s no checkpoints in this game, the only way to save is to rest in town. Also this game requires perfect timing and patience to "win" the game. Why did I quote "win" you ask? Simple reason, no one have finish the game yet because how unfair the bosses are. Each bosses requires entirely different strategy but they often 1 Hit kill you before you know what to do. Like I am right now, preparing for "Final Boss". I''m saying it''s "Final Boss" because it''s literally impossible to win, he can auto-target you with long range skill if you bothered him for far too long. Last time I timed it, it was only 4 minutes, so you have to defeat the boss within 4 minutes and that''s impossible, from my experience. Don''t think about kiting him, it just won''t work. He will ram to you faster than you can react with dodge; I timed it. It takes 0.2 seconds from your maximum attack range to strike you down and if you''re already close to him, it''s over before you blink. Attacking him from behind will never work for one good reason, he will cancel any of his skill animation and instantly charge away from you before you can hit him; even with fastest attack speed equipment, he still able to get away. So you are force to face him in front, I almost forgot, but the potions in this game are utterly useless, they can not regenerate the Health you have taken from the traps and I will say this again. All bosses and monsters can instant kill you, perfect timing is a must for this game, think of it like a game have pre-scripted play of how you must act. I''m not playing hard mode or anything higher, in fact there''s no difficult mode. It is just the "New Game" on the title screen. Of course, I have lost to this "Final Boss" before I quit from this game. How fitting, they named this game "This game" because they knew how unfair it would be; I bet they love seeing players suffering from their games. Anyway, enough of that. I went to check my emails and that is where I found this game; before you get confuse, it''s the other game I''m able to explain... Before I talk about it, there is something else I want to mention. I do not remember registering an account for this game or signing up to the game company. After all, I do have good collective of memory when it relates to games. So I download the game which have the size of 3GB, it isn''t much. But I''m more surprise that it downloaded in matter of seconds, you see my internet speed is not THAT fast. Especially, if its 3GB, it would take at least 10 minutes or so, to download from other MMO sites. I opened the game folder, that''s right there''s no installer, just a game folder with file. Out of curious I just happen to check those files and found out that there''s no security lock on them, which I lead me to exploit the game settings so badly, that I''m not sure if I already broke the game or not. Once I went back to the main game folder, I did happened to ignored one program till the end. "Valkyrie Launcher (Click me first)", I have only one thing to say "No one tells me what I do." I opened the launcher and find out the game is in alpha test. On the game website it never mention it would be in alpha testing, moreover it never said if it''s in closed or open beta. Nevertheless, I click the ''Start'' button. To my surprise the game is running smoothly until this had happen. A naked male appeared on character customization, he looks so real that I couldn''t react. Almost if I going to have nosebleed... Anyway, I check some functions in the game. I actually wondered, if my PC is capable to run this smoothly. But if my PC is not capable of it, it would have crashed because of this model looks so realistic... Either way let''s not worry about it and focus on character customization. It appears there''s endless amount of options to customize a character. To me this is amazing, consider that most MMOs or console game does not always have large varities of creations. I notice that there''s a Female option in character customization screen that I have added in. Although, I''m pretty sure it wouldn''t work since I couldn''t find any female character files in, but I just click it for the sake of false hoping it would come true... Ahh... the game freeze. That''s quite expected, no wait. It shouldn''t even freeze the game since I only just added one word to the character customization. It''s strange why it freeze, before I think hard why it happened, the game reload itelf with female model. This doesn''t make any sense at all... But I throw my doubt aside, because the options for females were far more than the males which got me interested. Not before long, I begin to decide which gender to pick, clicking male and female. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Finally, after clicking back and forth, I decided to pick female for two good reasons: 1 - The male model''s genital will disturb me from making a good character. 2 - The female options have far more options to customize than male. Now there''s a problem. It will take a while to make one because the amount of options to create... Oh, there''s happen to be a race option below the gender. How did I missed it? Either way, I''ll be looking up what kind of races they have...: ¡¸Please type in any race from your heart desire¡¹ Weird, no selection but a box to type for race? I typed in a race that put up in my mind: ¡¸Elf¡¹ Not a moment later, my character changed to Elf. This shock me when I thought it just a name tag for a character but it turn out it will change your character model to a race you want. Personally it would need some testing, so I typed in what came out from my head, it loaded and I repeated to see how many are there: Elf Half-Elf Dwares Ogres Goblin Dragon Half Dragon (Humanoid) Werewolf WereCat The list went on till I notice I wasted 40 minutes figuring out if there''s no limits to it, but I have to say. This is like a dream come true to any gamers who loves to customize their character, especially if its me, I love to customize and comestic addict. In the end, I typed in ¡¸Human with Pika (Rabbit)Ears¡¹. Amazing... It loaded a character just like I wanted her to be. Although, I typed in one of the rabbit species''names in, it appears that my character will be mistaken as a werecat... Never mind that, I need to adjust her to my preferential taste. Hmmm... I made her as busty catgirl than being ordinary catgirl, although that''s not the only changes I made. I happened to changed her face a bit, small refined nose and steel blue colour which happened to synchronise the surrounding background lights so beautifully. Nothing else changed much on her face since she appear with a baby face at the first place. Then I changed her hairstyle to long straight hair, all the way down to her waist and added in Light Stawberry Pink colour; after I messed around with different kind of settings for a single colour. After I checked what''s in ''Innerwear'' and ''Outerwear'', it appeared I had to type in what I needed according to the information, when I hover my mouse cursor: Innerwear - Random Outerwear - ¡¸Shortsleeves Jack (no buttons)¡¹,¡¸T-shirts¡¹,¡¸Shorts¡¹. It immediately appeared on my character after I pressed enter, how convenient. So far, everything is so simple and convenient, make me take my time while I dress up my character but the clothes at the moment look decent on her. Except, I changed some parts such as toned down the frills on her shorts, changed colour on her T-Shirt and shorts to Sky Blue and add black colour to her Jacket. Also there''s seem to be no shoes section in character customization for some reason. Those were all the changes I made, so far she looks fine. It seems I have come to the last section for character creation: ¡¸Strengths and Weaknesses¡¹ I''m not sure what those for but I do remember I changed the setting by having 8 strengths and 1 weakness instead of 1 strength and 1 weakness, and I happened to double the amount of character limits. I hover my mouse cursor over ¡¸Strengths and Weaknesses¡¹ for information: ¡¸Strengths for strong points of your character in game. Limited 35 characters¡¹ ¡¸Weaknesses for weak points of your character in game, does not have to be relate to game¡¹ ¡¸If you want additional strength, you must make additional weakness before gaining one¡¹ I see, so it relates to the game. Well, I just add my strengths first: ¡¸Immune Paralysis, Poison, Slow, All kind of Physical Bad Effects¡¹ ¡¸Immune All kind of Mental Bad Effects, Including Curses¡¹ ¡¸If eating Any Bad Effects Types, It tastes like Fruits and give Buff¡¹ ¡¸No Class Restriction or Penatly, Bonus to Any Weaponary¡¹ ¡¸Improve Reaction Time every 2 Seconds as Action Skill, No Penalty¡¹ ¡¸Fight like a World Boss Enemy, Capable to hold back Full Power¡¹ ¡¸Does not need to Chant Any kind of Action Skills, Magic or Alike¡¹ ¡¸Increase EXP by 5 Times, Fast Learner, Overpowered Analyzation¡¹ Hmmm... Maybe doubling the character limits was actually too much. Well, it doesn''t matter now it''s time to add my weakness, probably one of my fears: -Bugs -Black Hurricane with Red Eyes -Hate Eggplants Oh... It appears I broke the game, I just gained extra 24 empty strengths. Well, this isn''t my fault if the game have no security installed. Since I already broke the game, I might as well use it: ¡¸Immune Paralysis, Poison, Slow, All kind of Physical Bad Effects¡¹ ¡¸Immune All kind of Mental Bad Effects, Including Curses¡¹ ¡¸If eating Any Bad Effects Types, It tastes like Fruits and give Buff¡¹ ¡¸No Class Restriction or Penatly, Bonus to Any Weaponary¡¹ ¡¸Improve Reaction Time every 2 Seconds as Action Skill, No Penalty¡¹ ¡¸Fight like a World Boss Enemy, Capable to hold back Full Power¡¹ ¡¸Does not need to Chant Any Kind of Action Skills, Magic or Alike¡¹ ¡¸Increase EXP by 5 Times, Fast Learner, No Counterstop¡¹ ¡¸Able to Analayze with ease, Sounds does not Damage Eardrums¡¹ ¡¸Excellent Hearing, Keen Eyes, Unnatural Speed¡¹ ¡¸Can survive in Any Environment¡¹ Yes, this is perfect... For now. Not sure what would happen with those empty strengths but I''m happy with this. Now I need to name her and for whatever reason, I feel a bit sleepy even though I''m a late-nighter. What should I name her... Oh, Selena would be good... Damn.... I feel so sleepy.... .... Need to type her name.... Then check the male option too... .... ... I can''t sleep yet.... I change my mind.... .... ... ... I want to make a male character.... ..... ... ... zzz.... .... .... Chapter 1 - Volatile? "Ah..." Did I happen to fallen asleep? No wait, this place. What is this place? Everything around me is just plain white, I can''t tell how far it extend. If this is part of my dreams then its definitely one of the worst kind so far, nothing seems to be happening around me, just plain white space. Usually all my dreams have been giving me weird events that never occur in reality. For example, befriend with Queen Bee to murder King Wasp then after long series of event, I got ¡ºBackStab¡» by the Queen who happened to be the villian since the beginning of that event. Although, this dream, if it is a dream. It feels quite peaceful, no need to panic in life and death situations that I had in many occasion since childhood, but this place is sooo boring. "Hello?! Anyone there?!" ... No one is replying to me, this is getting very boring, I wish this dream end already. "Can... Hear... Me?" Did I happened to hear a voice? It is a voice right? "If... Hear... Please follow... Voice." Yup, definitely hearing voice and its much clearer than before... I might as well follow its voice, there''s really nothing to do in this isolated place. "Please... My voice... Will introduce..." Oh, the voice is quite sweet, definitely a female... Probably. Hmmm.... I just lost her voice direction. No, more like this place is messing my sense of direction, I can''t even tell where''s left or right at the moment. "Where are you? Speak up!" In that moment, the green hue light appeared in front of me, almost scared me to bits... I find this light to be suspicious for one good reason, it doesn''t harm my eyes regardless how long I stare at the light and I''m pretty close to it too; such a strange light. "What are you doing here? I have been waiting for you!" "ARGH! A GHOST!" "A ghost?! How rude!... This place isn''t good place to talk, come on!" Wait a min- I been dragged into the green light before I could finish my thoughts, The light wrap around me giving a warm yet gentle feel... Where am I? Not a moment ago I was in endless white space, but now, I''m surrounded by grassfield, its so wide open I couldn''t even see the end of the field. Other than that, this female is still dragging me. "Ahem, I''ll introduce myself. I govern this realm. As I, am the Goddess. You may call me Iris." ... What. I got brought to this lonely insolated place, then dragged to here and now being introduced by Self-Claim Goddess... I definitely having the weirdest dream so far, to sum all that. She even closed her eyes the entire time when she introducing herself, you''re not fooling me, Self-Claim Goddess. "I don''t buy it." "Y-Yes?" "You hesitate and close your eyes while introducing yourself, anyone can tell you''re lying." "Eh?! But I am NOT LYING!!" ... She''s scarying me, almost similar as my other friend.. Mmm... For now, I just follow what she have to say. "There''s no need to be so nervous while doing a introduction." "Ah... It''s just... It''s just that I haven''t met my kin for a very long time!" Woah, Hold it. There''s no need to be so close to my face with that expression. She''s very similar to my friend, this is definitely one of the worst day. "You said ''my kin'', what do you mean? I do not think we''re related in anyway." "Ah, but we''re are! It''s a long story, but to summerise it. I''m from your world, born and raised." "That''s not even a kin, that''s... No nevermind, how did you become a ''Goddess''? "Mmmm.... The One summoned me and gave me a role of a Goddess for the New Realm." ... What kind of answer is that, can''t she give a normal answer or at least tell a lie without giving out a strange pose. "Enough about me, I NEED TO SCOLD YOU!!" Wha-What did I do? I just got here not long ago, I still don''t know you. "Why did you took so long to create your character?! It doesn''t take a person over 8 hours just to create a single character!" Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.Wait... How did she know I spent so long on creating character.... Ohhh... "No matter, I shall brief what you shall do in Other Realm." She changed her character again... Does she love being roleplayer that much? Wait, hold it. "Other Realm? What are you talking about?" "Do not interrupt me, I shall briefly tell you." "..." Apparently, she gave me a story instead of ''briefing'' my current situation. No matter what I did, I was forced to listen to her story from beginning to the end while she kept changing her behaviour. From what I understand, there is a total of 7 Goddesses and Two True Gods. The Two True Gods created a realm and allowed 7 Goddesses to create anything to their like, but it mostly related to Nature and Living Beings. Iris is one of the Goddesses and I happened to witness her extreme changes in her behaviour, it was definitely entertaining to watch her trying to tell a story. At the end of her story, she said One of the True God betrayed her and the others and sprung chaos to the realm. The other True God and the Goddesses decided to summon ¡ºHeroes¡»to their realm and fight the Betrayal True God. The Heroes have won the war against the True God and granted one wish from their respective Goddesses. There''s one thing, why does this have to do with me? I don''t even care about the story but my own situation. "Iris, How is this related to me? You''re only telling me a story." ".... Please Defeat the heroes!" "No, tell me why did you bring me here." "Buuhuu... Hold on." "..." "I-It''s just that... I''m the only Goddess in Other Realm, they left everything to me. Every Heroes in Other Realm have been corrupted, they no longer listen to me! It''s Scary! It''s like they turn to demons themselves! Not just that, few of them attempting to revive the Betrayal True God!" "..." "Was it good?" "Are you being serious here?! Reading the paper out loud in front of me!" "But I am serious, it''s the truth! I been preparing for this moment, I just don''t know how to put it in words! Please don''t leave!" "Even if I want to, I don''t know how to leave this place." "About that, you can easily go back by entering the green light not far from here." "...Ok, I''m leaving. Bye." "No! Please don''t leave, I beg you! Don''t leave!" You could at least not pull my leg and cry on my jeans! Aren''t you suppose to be a Goddess?! My jeans is almost pulled off, I give, please don''t rip them off. What a terrifying Goddess, constantly changing her behaviour, this is worse than my friend. "I get it, I get it. Let go of my jeans." "T-Thanks for believing me!" "You almost ripped my jeans, you know." "I''m sorry... Do I take it that you believe me?" "...Yes." "Great! Now I will open ''Strengths and Weaknesses'' from game folder." "What?" Did I hear this right? Strengths and Weaknesses... Is it related to the ''Valkyrie Launcher''? Before that, where did that Folder come from? "U-Unbelievable... A-Are you a human?... 8 to 1 ratios, I feel like I pulled a jackpot!! WOOO!!" "... Iris, how are you related with ''Valkyrie Launcher''?" "Ah... I''m the one who created it." "...What?" "There''s no time left. I''ll be giving you this and this. I haven''t check what''s on your strengths yet but it should be good." "What do you mean there''s no time..." "Ah, before the time is up, I must inform you that the Other Realm is ''game-like'' reality-" "Hold on, there''s a lot of questions that needs answer." "Not happening the time is running ou-" Damn, not again. I lose my conscious once more, what''s going on today? This is my second time that I lose conscious.
