Chapter 2: The legendary magical cat
Bob realised that he was still alive. However, his entire body was still aching from his confrontation with the wall. Or at least that's what he thought, since he quickly realised that he was completely fine for some reason.
"Wait did I actually die this time? Is this why I am not hurt anymore?" wondered Bob. "No, for the last time, you are alive. To be honest, I am not sure how you survived against these demon rats for this long," declared the mysterious voice. "If you are wondering why you feel fine, it's obviously because I used healing magic on you. Well, I suppose I should make a lightsource since you don't have night vision," said the voice.
Bob was startled as a ball of light appeared near the cave's ceilling. It shed light on the bloody scene in front of him. As it turns out, the giant rat that had almost killed him had been turned into a bloody meat pancake that laid on the wall of the cave. He could barely prevent himself from forcefully removing his last meal from his body. However, there was something else that caught his attention.
Right in front of him was a normal looking white cat. It had what looked like a pendant around it's neck from wich hanged a white gemstone. However, what truly caught Bob's attention was that the cat's paws were covered in blood. This made it painfully obvious that this adorable looking animal was the one wich turned the huge monster into meat paste. Before Bob could comprehend what was happening, the cat made it even harder for him with a simple action. It started talking.
"Well, can you answer my questions now?" asked the cat. Bob, unable to comprehend what just happened, was unsurprisingly not capable of answering any questions. He simply stared at the bloody feline in a daze.
"I will take that as a no. Well, I can't just leave you here since you almost got yourself killed when I left you alone for a moment. I guess I will wait here until you calm down."
After a few moments, Bob managed to get enough of his brain working to start asking questions.
"What are you?" he asked.
"I am obviously a cat. Have you never seen a talking cat before?" wondered the feline.
"No? Cats usually dont speak?"
"What kind of nonsensical world is this? There are sentient humans but cats are unable to speak? That's not normal. Wait, let me check something," said the cat. After a few seconds, a book titled "The interdimensionnal encyclopedia" materialised out of tin air. It then proceeded to float and open. The cat seemingly read something written in it and seemed satisfied.
"Oh, it seems that the cats of this world are able to speak, they are just too lazy to do so. That seems about right."
"Can you please explain who you are?" asked an extremely confused Bob, "Wait did you just say?"
"I am Cat."
"Are you saying that you are a cat or that your name is Cat?"
The cat, looking away, answered, "My name is Cat. Please do not ask any questions, I am aware of how stupid it sounds."
"Alright. Can you please explain what is going on?"
Cat, looking at Bob, said, "Right, you are probably extremely confused at the moment. Basically, a bunch of interdimensionnal bandits decided to pillage this world and I am here to stop them. Want to help?"
"I think I get it, but how am I supposed to stop crime that spans accros multiple universes? I almost just died to a giant rat!" Bob, who was now supremely confused, stared at the feline who had begun to casually lick itself.
"Well, I will take that as a yes," decided Cat, before summoning a bright floating red gem the size of an apple. "Here, take this. It's a tier 1 fire crystal. It should allow you to use fire magic."
Bob picked up the gem and looked at it. He obviously had no clue as to how to use any form of magic.
"If you are wondering about how to use magic, it is based on the individual. Some people are able to create complicated spells with various effect while others reinforce their weapons with it. Just... try thinking about it really hard," suggested the Cat. This advice obviously did not help much as Bob had no clue about what he was supposed to be focusing on. He tried to imagine a fireball while holding on to the supposed fire gem. Upon failling to do anything that way, he closed his eyes to concentrate on the mental image. After a few seconds of intense focus, he felt some sort of energy within him reacting to the crystal in his hand. He tried to bring out that energy only to be meet with a sudden burst of heat. Bob had managed to use magic, but the only result he achieved was to light himself ablaze. After being put out immediately by water Cat most likely summoned, he asked, "What was that about?"
"I have good news and I have bad news about your magic," said the cat to the unfortunate man. "The good news is that your mana is extremely good at blowing up things and just generally causing destruction. The bad news is that your mana is so unstable that if you try to do anything other then blowing things up, it will blow up anyways."
"Well, I should at least be able to scare away one of those giant rats if they show up again, right?" asked Bob.
"Yeah, probably. Oh! My detection magic finally picked up the bandit's coordinates. I will be back. You can probably survive while I am gone. The light I made should follow you around. Anyway, I will be back," said the cat before disapearing, leaving behind a panicked Bob.
"Wait, do not leave me alone! I don't even know how to not light myself on fire with my magic!"
