"I'm back home!" I shouted as I barged through the door, waking up everyone. "Hey! Stop shouting like an idiot, You woke me up!" Kayden shouted back as let out a warm smile.
"Really? Then, I'm really sorry." I spoke in a genuinely sorry tone, which surprised Kayden. "You could go back to sleep now; I won't do anything loud that would disturb you."
Kayden looked at me like I was some weird creature. "Who are you?! Get out of Vera's body you demon!" Kayden shouted. I puffed my cheeks, "That hurts you know?"
I spoke as it further disturbed Kayden as to how I was acting. The halo of light I had disappeared as a brief spark of electricity dawned from my body. "I'm still the same Vera Estelle you know m*therf*cker"
Kayden's scrunched up face slowly faded as he looked at me with relief. "I thought you were possessed by a demon something." Ohoh? I see your words as a teasing opportunity,
"Is that so? Are you perhaps… worried about me?" I spoke in a mischievous tone as Kayden burst a couple irk marks again. "You… why would "I" be worried about YOU?!"
Kayden shouted as I let out a warm chuckle. "I don't know? Maybe you are, and you're just denying it. But anyways, I was just joking." I replied, man was it nice to tease Kayden.
Kayden wanted to say something further, but he held it at the tip of his tongue. "Sure…" He looked away as I let out another chuckle, "Cute." I curtly spoke as I got on the sofa.
Well, his sudden quietness is sure suspicious Ah, right, you might ask about my small shift in personality. It was because I had equipped the attribute "light" which made my personality a bit nicer so to say.
Every time I equip an attribute for a set amount of time, it'll start affecting my personality to more suit the attribute. It might sound like something others would hate, but I like it actually.
I could be a fricking expert at acting. I mean, I could make money out of acting and with my looks, I'm sure I would succeed in the entertainment industry, I know how to make songs too!
I curled into a ball and let out a soft sigh, "So comfortable…" I muttered. My eyes took on a sharp look as I thought. 'But it won't always stay as comfortable as this.'
"It's been three days." I quietly mutter to myself, the feeling and comfort that I felt from this cat body was now starting to get more familiar, but I couldn't help getting the feeling that it's foreign.
'System Search Function.' I spoke in my mind as a transparent window of black and white design appeared in front of me. 'Search for a force technique that I could use to turn back into human.'
Countless windows displaying techniques appeared in front of me as my eyes gazed through everyone of them, but there was too many to pick, I had to narrow it down.
'Filter it to the simplest but effective ones I could afford.' I spoke in my mind as most of the panels disappeared leaving only about twelve in front of me, and my gaze once again grazed each one.
'Filter it again to those that only have minor setbacks.' The number of techniques once again reduced in number, and this time, there were only three. And I know knew among the three what I would pick.
<< Would you like to purchase [Form Alteration] for 120 SP? Warning, you currently only have the same amount, you will lose all your skill points. >> The system offered.
You may ask how I obtained 110 skill points, but that was because I fulfilled a quest given by the system: [Power!]. Which I had to use every one of my attributes, I had just finished today.
'Ohoh? What a nice system, warning me that I'm about to lose all my money. Well, doesn't matter anyway if I'm trading it for the chance of becoming human again. Being a cat is fun and all…'
<< You have purchased the skill [Form Alteration]. Transferring information about usage and descriptions to the user. >> The system prompted as I felt a spike of pain sting my head.
I closed my eyes with a frown as I held the urge to shout curses because of the pain, it didn't hurt that much, but it still hurt a lot. The pain slowly faded away as I found new memories ingrained to my brain.
They were about the skill, and how to use the skill that I had just purchased. For example, how would I control and use my force energy to transform into a human, or another animal.
'…But being human has its own charms.' I thought as willed my force to circulate around my body. I felt changes immediately undergo in my body as steam suddenly exited my body.
The steam spread across the whole room as Kayden was suddenly alerted of the steam. "W-what?! Is it an intruder?!" He didn't know what was happening at all.
I too, didn't really understand what had happened, but I suddenly felt more compatible with my body. I felt that I had the body of human again. And it was purely instinctual act.
The steam turned to thick mist, and I couldn't see anything. I raised up my hands unto my chest as I began fondling them, they were there, they were back. Man did I feel happy.
But my happiness was soon interrupted by the cats meowing, and Kayden shouting curse words. "Hahhh, so loud." I spoke, my voice was a lot clearer, it sounded more like me.
Kayden stopped cursing mid-sentence, he must have been shocked by my voice huh? Well, I was praised for receiving the genes of my ancestors after all, my family was a family of singers.
I closed my eyes, it was so foggy that even my enhanced eyesight was useless, I could only rely on one other thing. "The wind are my eyes." I spoke as a small gust of wind tickled my ears.
And immediately after, a map of the living room appeared in my head. I made as I noticed that the pseudo-awakened grey cat started to come awake. And the fog was clearing a bit too.
"Vera?" Kayden asked. "I'm still here Kayden," I answered back. The grey cat woke up and saw Hazel, Onyx and Fifty with aggression in its eyes, lunging at them with horrid screech.
And just before Kayden could act, I stretched out my hand and held the grey cat by the neck, immobilizing it. The mist dissipated a bit, and I opened my eyes to see a human hand.
"Oh, I'm human again."
I muttered to myself as Kayden, Hazel, Onyx, and Fifty stared at me with complete shock. I turned the grey cat around to face me and as soon as it saw my face, it lost its feral nature.
It slumped, giving up any resistance. I smiled, "Now, now. Calm down and go to sleep first." placing down the cat on the sofa again, it curled up and slept again. "Phew~"
'Having the ability to make cats listen to you without any hindrance is sure a good ability for situations like these.' I let out smug smirk as I thought about how OP the title I obtained was.
The mist fully dissipated as I looked at Kayden and the three Meowketeers, they were gawking at me. "What?" I asked in confusion tilting my head, oh it must be because of how I look.
I smirked at Kayden and spoke, "What's wrong, Kayden? Am I that beautiful? Well, you don't need to gawk at me so much." Placing my hand on my face, I covered my smirk.
But something was off, the cats and Kayden were still gawking at me and not saying a word. "Hello?" I spoke, what the hell? Were they actually entranced by my beauty?
My train of thought were disrupted by a sudden sound- "I'm Home!" Jiwoo shouted as he peeked through the door and took off his shoes, he froze for a second, before looking up again.
He was frozen in place, goddamn, am I that beautiful. 'cause I don't think so. "Hey Jiwoo, It's me, Vera Estelle!" I exclaimed. "I found a way that I could become human again!"
I beamed at him as everyone included the three Meowketeers Hazel, Onyx, and Fifty started shouting. "-M-M-Ms. V-vera! Y-your… c-clothes!" Jiwoo stuttered as he looked away and closed his eyes.
"My clothes?" I muttered almost inaudibly, looking down at my body. A look of mild horror dawned my face, I was walking around f*cking naked. I sighed in despair.
Great, I just lost my sense of privacy with everyone in the room. "Great, just great." I spoke with sarcasm clearly laced in my voice and I was sure everyone heard it. "Hey kid."
"What are you standing around for? Go fetch me some clothes to wear." I spoke as Jiwoo covered his eyes and raced upstairs. I … ah, f*ck it. I'm gonna minimalize my words from now on.
"Hey kid, I'll be in the at the shower; just pass me the clothes later after I shower." I shouted to Jiwoo as I turned to Kayden who was still having a freaked out look on his face.
Smirking, I turned around and brazenly walked towards the shower. Since I'm already naked and everyone saw, what was the point in being a pussy and act all shy? That doesn't just make sense.
"I'm an alpha, so I'll f*cking act like one."
