Chapter 1: A common occurrence.
... Everything around me burned and shattered into ashes. Our beautiful houses that have been painstakingly built by the rest of all Black cats - my friends, have lost all their beauty by this fierce fire.
Around such ruined houses, there were dozens of helpless corpses of friends and all my acquaintances - they died, ruthlessly killed by humans a moment ago.
Even my whole family was killed in the attack this time.
Indeed, the number of victims is not large when compared to the number of victims on the human side. However, we are a rare and already endangered Beast tribe. And this is the last village of the Black cat tribe that exists in this world.
-There is nothing left of us but myself.
Yes, I survived.
In the middle of the burning arid plain here and there filled with dozens of Black cat tribal corpses and thousands of shapeless human corpses, stood a giant monster with dark blue scales, a pair of horrifying giant wings reminiscent of the legendary form of a dragon, a hideous snout filled with fangs that can destroy anything - I stood there.
Yes, I am a monster.

"...!!"
... Hah?
"... Is that just a dream?"
Dreams about the past again... Huh?
Finally realizing that that was all just a dream, I wiped away my tears before looking around.
There, I found a very familiar room view over the past few years.
-This is the narrow room of a cheap inn I have rented on the outskirts of a town called [Gordias], a large town that was under the rule of Adimrlas empire.
Gordias was a large town built with a large river in the middle of its town, and have population of more than 30,000 people including slaves and non-humans.
The town itself is beautiful and prosperous as a whole - except the fact that races other than humans are very much hated in this town. For that reason, I can't rent a room in an expensive inn even if I have money.
-I'm a Beast, anyway. One of the 3 half-human races that exist in this world that has dozens of tribes and types: a [Black cat].
My hair was black, with a pair of ears filled with the same black hair with a shape similar to the cat's ears on top of my head. My eyes are red - for some reason I didn't know. Even I myself can't figure out the reason why my eye color is red. All of my fellow Black cat race friends have black eye color without exception, after all - even though they are now gone.
Oh yes, by the way, I am a girl.
Since it is so important, I will repeat it one more time, I am a girl. A whole and original girl, not without gender who looks like a cute little girl who was before.
Apparently, me, who should be just a clone, have just been reborn as a Black cat girl named [Meru Corciell] after receiving an attack from Hinata sakaguchi's purification magic. What a creepy woman.
And well, as you might have guessed, after I was killed there, I was suddenly reborn as a baby girl in this world. I even had an entire copy of the memory belonging to the main body before I was killed there. Whether it's about his/her life on earth, or about his/her life as a King of the monsters.
But... I didn't inherit any Skills belonging to the main body, the connection between us has totally been severed. I can't even communicate with the "Great Sage" anymore now.
Well, put that thing aside first... It's time to work.
After changing clothes and putting on all my gear, I opened the old wooden window that was in this room.
From there, I could see a beautiful view of the sunrise slowly starting to illuminate every corner of the town, signaling the start of the day.
"... I think I should do my best too, today." After staring at the town view against the backdrop of the rising sun for a few minutes, I closed the window of the room again, and finally began to walk away out of this inn.
Unlike other inn, cheap inn like this wouldn't provide food for its residents at all. Well, even if they force themselves a little bit and try to provide such food service, just a bowl of dirty soup that has almost no flavor and black bread or almost rotting bread is the only thing they can provide with their financial condition.
"..."
*Tap tap tap*
Past the silence of the town, my footsteps sound echoed around as if to drive away the darkness of the night with the arrival of the morning sun.
The quiet, cool silence should have greeted my morning like normal days - but no, I finally realized the strangeness going on there.
"... This silence is abnormal."
Sharpening my eyes around, I realized that the morning silence of this town felt a little different than it used to be.
-I felt as if someone, or even some person was watching me from somewhere.
Still walking down the quiet town's stone streets slowly, I glanced at the gear I wear to prepare myself for the possibility of any fight that might happen after this.
My equipment is not much different from the equipment of your ordinary Beast adventurers, with black shorts, thigh-high leather boots, monster leather breastplate with a black short-sleeved T-shirt underneath, and I also have a pair of leather gloves here. I do use a lot of leather-based equipment.
Aside from the fact that the price is cheaper and there is a prohibition for non-human adventurers in this town to buy high-class items including iron armor and so on, I chose leather armor because it felt lighter to me, and they didn't hinder my movement too much either - so well, I prefer leather equipment.
And for weapons... I only have two daggers here.
While I was ascertaining all the equipment I was wearing at the time, a big man suddenly appeared from behind the building, stood in front of me about 10 meters away as if to block my way.
"..."
*Tap tap tap*
Soon, several other men also appeared from behind the building. They gathered in a circle formation with myself in the middle of it.
They intend to ambush me... I guess.
"... Who are you?" I was the first to break the silence between us.
In response to my question, the big man in front of me started chuckling.
"Who are we? Heheh... Well, I guess it would be a little too cruel to catch you here when you don't even know what's going on," The big man said, before continuing while pointing his finger at me, "... Well, in short, there is a perverted noble-sama who wants you as his slave."
"I see..."
Noble again, 'huh...
Hearing the word "Noble" makes various bad memories that in my past to reappear like a curse.
That's right, the same thing has happened before in the past. Honestly, maybe too many of this kind of stuff happened to me until I even started to get tired of counting how many asshoundrels came at me just because of some damn noble trying to get the only girl from this remaining Black cat – me.
My village was destroyed by humans with the same motives. Slave. They were completely lured to demean and enslave us, the Beasts.
I was only 9 years old when I was first visited by them. At that time, the memories of destruction of my village were still completely fresh in my head. So, I ended up going berserk and slaughtering all those fucking slave enthusiasts.
5 years passed, and I'm now 14 years old, but some groups of assholes will still sometimes show up and come to me just to mess with me every year. It's so sucks.
"-That's how it is, so we'll catch you. You guys! CATCH THIS CAT GIRL NOW!! Don't hurt her too much because our clients will definitely make trouble later, Okay?!!"
""Yeah, Boss!!""
The screams of those assholes brought me back to reality. I didn't correctly hear the whole big man's words that seemed to be their leader because I was lost in my own thoughts in the midst of his ramblings. But well... It doesn't matter either, anyway.
After all, I'll kill them all before long, though.
When the whole group of assholes rushed towards me except the big guy who just folded his arms together and watched with his disgusting smile there, I turned my eyes towards the gear of all of them.
Although it is obvious, their equipment is better than mine. They also move quite well-trained. Rather than bandits, they feel more like mercenaries to me.
Look like I have to be a little serious here, hum?
#POV Dargutl(The Big guy.)
"What happened?!"
In front of me at this moment, there is an impossible scene where a little black cat girl fighting against my subordinates - No, perhaps the designation of "fight" is too dismissive. What the girl doing is looks more like a massacre than a fight.
At first, I thought she was just an ordinary little black cat girl who working as an adventurer for living. I've never heard anything about the very strong black cat girl or anything like that since the destruction of their village 7 years ago.
But the girl in front of me at the moment is completely different. Despite being besieged by 13 of us, she still looks calm. At first I thought that she was just a little overconfident on her power, but what happened after that completely denied my presumption that.
Without even pulling out her weapon, the girl moved at an incredible speed, throwing hundreds of punches I couldn't even see at all my mens.
And before I could notice, the girl had stood alone there, with a pool of blood filled with humans(my mens) limbs strewn there.
Cleaning up the blood stains on both hands, the girl then turned her eyes towards me with her icy eyes, "... Now, are you used to telling me who this 'perverted nobleman' actually is?"
