"And done. That didn't take me long at all."

Checking the time, I saw that only two hours had gone by since I started to work on Flappy Bird. A person good at coding and programming would have taken about two days to make a game like Flappy Bird, but with my skills and Anivia taking care of the art, I was able to finish much more quickly.

I would've finished a lot faster, but I got a little distracted and spent quite a bit of time scrolling mindlessly on my phone.

"Anivia, take care of porting it for the Android market, please."

"Right away, sir."

"How are the downloads for Tinder going?" I asked, curious as to how many more downloads the app had received in a few hours.

"The app has currently been downloaded 5,000+ times, sir. But there are only 4,000+ profiles at the moment. Most of the downloads are still in universities and colleges around the country." she said.

"Good. Guestimate how long before we reach 100,000."

"I estimate two days, sir. The weekend is almost over and students will talk about the app during their classes, presumably, sir."

"Okay. Let me know if I get any emails from ad networks about selling ad space on Tinder."

"Of course, sir."

'Waiting is the worst.' I thought as I spun around in my chair, 'Whatever let me work on another app that will take the middle-aged Mom market by storm, Candy Crush.'

Surprisingly enough, Candy Crush did not exist in this world which was good for me because that app was crack for middle-aged women. Something about matching color tiles to see them disappear really appeals to the Mom market.

And unlike my other two apps which would primarily make revenue from selling ad space, Candy Crush will make money by being a freemium app. An app that one can play completely for free but where one can also buy boosts and lives to make clearing the levels easier.

The reason why I hadn't started it yet was that it would take me more time compared to the other two apps and I wanted to be out of school so I could focus completely on it. Also, there are a lot more graphics and voice-acting among other things that need to be done unlike the other two.

Unfortunately, Candy Crush was the only app of the early 2010s that didn't exist in this world. All the social media platforms had already been created and even Vine was already announced to the public, though the release date was slated for next year.

But it was no big deal since the apps are only a stepping stone for my plans. Though that doesn't mean I'll just completely forget about them in the future since any revenue is good revenue and with Anivia, taking care of the apps will be a piece of cake.

"Groan, that's good enough for today." I said as I stood up to stretch after a few hours of coding.

GRUMBLE

'Oops, forgot to eat. Guess I'll make myself some instant ramen.'

I quietly made my way downstairs for fear of waking anyone up before tiptoeing to the kitchen where a plate of food was waiting for me with a sticky note.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"Heat it up in the microwave, and don't work too hard. Love, Mom."

'Sweet. Love you too, Mom.' I thought as I put my Mom's delicious Crockpot Spareribs with Mashed Potatoes in the microwave.

Stopping the microwave as it hit the 1-second mark so it wouldn't make noise, I then took the hot plate out of the microwave using my PK, so I wouldn't burn my fingers, before going back to my room.

As I entered my room, I saw a pair of glowing yellow eyes staring at me from the window which scared me a little and almost made me drop my food.

"Jesus, I almost dropped my food." I whispered as I closed the door behind me, placed my plate on my desk, and walked up to the window to see the black cat I had thrown up on and had pissed in my backyard.

"Are you a human? A shapeshifter?" I whispered to the cat before using Observe on the cat.

[Observe]

Name: Nyx, Ophelia, Onyx, Twilight, Hades, Ash, Midnight, Trim, India, Julia, etc...

Title: Satan, Devil on Earth, Witch's Pet, Bad Omen, Unlucky

Sex: Female

Race: Norweigan Forest Cat

Age: 900+

An immortal black cat made immortal from accidentally coming into contact with a mysterious virus, with enough wisdom and intelligence to rival a human.

"What the fuck?" I said, my jaw practically on the ground.

The cat I had accidentally thrown up on was an immortal cat who had lived almost a millennium and had experienced history in a way unimaginable to humans. And it had been turned immortal because it came into contact with a weird virus, which was very concerning.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I looked at the cat who was still outside my window but was now looking at my plate of food.

'Guess immortals go hungry too.' I thought as I opened my window.

"Come in." I said to her as she nonchalantly strolled in before jumping onto my bed and then onto my desk.

I expected her to just start eating my food, but she just sat there before looking at me and then back at the food.

"Are you hungry?"

"Meow."

"Do you want some? I can share."

"Meow."

"Okay." I said, walking back to my desk before taking half of the ribs and placing them on my desk for her to eat, "Enjoy."

"Meow." she said to me before eating her ribs while I did the same.

"So, uhh, how are you?" I said, not really sure how to talk to an immortal cat with the intelligence of a human.

"Meow." she said before pointing at the food.

"You want to eat in silence?" I asked to which she nodded before continuing eating.

After a few minutes of eating in silence, we were both done with our meal. And judging by the state of the stripped-clean bones and her licking the sauce that was left on the desk, she had greatly enjoyed the ribs.

"Did you enjoy the ribs?" I asked as I picked up her bones and put them on the plate.

"Meow." she said nodding.

"So, you're an immortal cat, what's that like?" I asked.

Hearing my question, her eyes widened in panic before she started to bolt to the window, but I used my PK to hold on to her.

"Wait, I'm not going to hurt you." I said as she bared her fangs and hissed at me.

"I was changed by a weird something too. See." I said as I used my PK to make things float around my room before setting them down.

Seeing me display my powers and hearing me talk about being changed as well, she stopped hissing but still kept her vigilance toward me.

"I'm going to let you go now." I said, letting my hold on her go and she took the chance to bolt to the window and stay there.

"You know for an immortal cat who is scared of her secret being found out, you sure don't try to hide it." I said, her eyes narrowing.

"I mean I was talking to you like a human and you understood me. Though I suppose most people would think you're just a really smart cat."

"Meow." she said agreeing with my latter statement, "Meow?"

"Uh, I can't speak cat sorry." I said to which she rolled her eyes before pointing at herself and then at me.

"How did I figure it out?" I asked to which she nodded.

"It's one of the powers the crystal that changed me gave me. I can tell what things are. It's why I was so surprised when I saw you at my window." I said, pinning my Observe ability on the crystal.

"Meow?" she said pointing at all the things that I made float.

"Yes, that's part of my powers too."

"Meow." she said as she jumped off the window and back onto my desk.

"So, do you have somewhere to go?"

"Meow." she said shaking her head.

"Stay here then. I've always wanted a cat and I'm the only one who knows what you really are. Plus you'll get treated like a queen by my mother." I said making her fall into thought before she nodded.

"Cool." I said before I noticed I was feeling a little sleepy, "I'm going to sleep. Feel free to sleep wherever."

"Meow." she said.

I changed out of my clothes and into what I wore to sleep before promptly plopping into bed. The cat curled herself up on my desk and we both fell asleep.
