It happened during a regular sunny day, I was in my bed, with my cat Reginald sleeping on me and purring so loudly that it woke me up. Still a bit sleepy, I grabbed my glasses, brushed my teeth, refilled the cat food and water and as I went downstairs, my cat tried to make me pet him, but in doing so... He made me fall down the stairs, and while I was passing out I heard a horrified "Mrrrreeeeewwwwww!!" fading away.

Waking up after this fall, I was on the back of a giant Reggie, surrounded by cats everywhere and a strange cat appeared in front of me.

"You're a pretty weird guy you know ?" it said mysteriously.

You could see my excitement growing on my face. *I can talk to cats* I thought, one of my dream was coming true, but something was off.

"I'm in a dream aren't I ? It's too perfect to be real" I replied.

"Well this world is designed to be like everything you ever wanted, kinda like a personal heaven, but no you're not really in a dream nor the real world in fact.", it answered while looking around probably asking himself how anyone could have a personal heaven like that.

It's literally perfect, I mean, How could ANYONE not love being in this place. But I digress.

At this moment, I was pretty confused so the classical question "What happened to me if this isn't a dream?" was to be expected.

"You died, your cat killed you is what happened." it laughed mockingly.

“He didn’t do it on purpose ok ?” I replied quickly to defend my little Reggie

“Intentional or not, you still died and you will still be reincarnated”

"Wait you mean I got isekaied ??" I instantly asked with more excitement.

"Yes, you got what human call isekaied, and you'll be reborn in a fantasy world, are you happy about that ?"

"Of course I'm happy about going to a fantasy world, please tell me I can go with my cat Reggie tho", I needed to be sure that I would be happy in this new world, and Reggie is necessary for my happiness, he's been my cat since I'm 10 years old and I can't live without him.

"Well he's not dead and I don't think you're worth the bother, I'll just put the classic settings..."

I understood that I would need to leave Reggie behind. I didn't want to hear more. A world without Reggie is like a pizza without tomato, or a strawberry without, well, strawberry, I mean it's tasteless, there's no use in keeping it.

"...hey, hey I'm talking to you", this awfully mean cat was bothered by my depressed look

"I won't reexplain what I just said, I'll just say that the time in your world flows exactly like this new world, and that there may be a way to go back to your world, but I won't tell you how, it'd be no fun"

This only sentence gave me hope, my little Reggie would not die of hunger alone because of my absence. "WAIT so you're telling me that there is a way that I can get back to my little Reggie ??" I hastily asked.

"Well yes this is exactly what I just said. Good luck, you'll probably gonna need it"

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

And on this ominously cliché sentence, I was starting to disappear in light, and I was going to discover this new world, and I needed to be ready to face it all to go back and see my little fluffy Reggie.

I woke up, my vision a bit blurry because apparently clothes can't make it through reincarnation. And without my glasses nor any piece of cloths to wear, I was shivering, in what appeared to be an ancient ruined sanctuary. Every step making the wood beneath my feet screech loudly. And while the fog in my head started to clear, I looked behind me and saw a completely destroyed cat-like statue. But then I remembered that I don't have much time, since I just had just refilled his food and water, and with no close friend or family to see that I died, Reginald would probably die in a week which leaves me 7 days to discover how to go back, and actually going back.

As I'm finding my way out of the sanctuary I started to feel excitement and fear, I don't know if I'll be able to go back in time for Reggie, but also this world is full of things I don't know, new things to discover and maybe even magic !

Seeing the door of the sanctuary, I feel like a new world is going to appear, and then... well just a random landscape with nothing special, it was to be expected to be honest but I was still a bit disappointed, and like a god descending from the skies to heal my disappointment, a cat was just in front, I ran to him and started petting him. But while I was doing so, he made a surprised face, and..

"You can see me ??", He said puzzled.

I just continued to pet him, not realizing that for the second time in a strangely short gap, I had heard a cat talk, and after a little pause, "Yes" was the only thing to come out of my mouth.

--------------------------------------------------10 minutes later----------------------------------------------------

"Well thanks, but I just asked you why you could see me, not needed a weird flashback on your life, even if you didn't explain anything except you live alone with what you call a cat which is pretty weird. And you didn’t even answered the question...”

“I explained that I come from another world, do you want me to explain it once again ?”

“NO, no, please don’t, just tell me your name and then I’ll try to tell you what I can.” the cat was panicked, but still curious about this weird person that could see it.

“You can just call me Reginald, so I don’t forget what I need to do.”

“Okay, Reginald ? Well I will explain to you what happened to my kind and why I am surprised someone is able to see me, It all started during a regular sunny day...” the cat was starting its own flashback, excited to share its own life, maybe it got inspired by the flashback Reginald had told him.

“Sorry, but I don’t have time for that, if you listened to me you should know I’m on a timer and I need to quickly find a way to go back to my world”, Reginald was a bit embarrassed since he just did the same thing.

“Seriously, I listened to your story and you don’t ?? I’m gonna just tell you the most important things, so during that regular sunny day...”

“No really, I don’t want to nor have the time to, If you really want to tell to me your story, just use something like 20 words please.” Reginald was even more embarrassed, but the cat was starting to be a bit annoying.

“Okay so: Regular sunny day, Myukins powerful persecuted, disgrace, by Wyufkins. Old prophecy, Champion save Myukin’s descendants from Wyufkins, me ancient Myukin spirit” The cat told Reginald hesitatingly but it was happy to finally have someone to tell its story to.

“That’s 21 words but okay, I think I understand. Since you’re an ancient thing spirit which clearly looks like a cat, do you know any way that I could go back to my world ?” Reginald asked with a little hope, he thought that if this cat can talk he had no reason not to believe everything it told him, he didn’t see why a cat would want to hurt him in any way.

“Well after what you’ve told me and because you can see me, if you’re not high, I suppose *sigh* you’re probably the Champion I talked about. So if we follow the prophecy, reinstating the Myukin’s supremacy over Wyufkins is probably the way to do it.” The spirit did not seem very happy that Reginald was the champion it was looking for but at least the time he spent searching for him was not wasted.

“I’m the Champion ?! Does that mean I have any magic powers or skills ??” Reginald was just hoping to be super powerful so he could have fun and easily go home and see Reggie.

“Nothing in the prophecy says you have any, but since you seem to be able to talk to Myukins, you should be able to, you just have to...”

“Wait I need to get going pretty fast, can’t you explain it to me on the way to a city where I can get clothes ?” he thought that being nude would make it hard to get more information on this world, so it was his number 1 priority.

“I was literally waiting for the Champion to show up so of course, I’ll try to explain it to you the best way possible.” the ancient spirit knew it was the best chance he had to get back the Myukins their past glory.

Reginald went downhill in direction of a close dirt path and with him, the spirit closely resembling a cat jumped on his shoulder. They both followed the path in direction of a smoke signal, Reginald observing the surroundings and discovering this new world full of things to discover and apparently ancient cat-like spirits. He couldn’t have hoped for a better world for him.
