I'd like to say that the hero will be some kind of messiah bringing light and illuminating the face of evil, but it's just a dumb man with the name Klei. Just a completely normal person, who has not done many things in his 18 years. Sitting on the computer mostly, of course. How else could it be?

However, to point out, he is obsessed with watches with ticking dials, preferring older models with visible mechanisms. Looks like this man completely loves watches, yeah. He has a pocket watch, a hat with a watch in it and even has lenses with yellow timepeace in it! Wretched!

Sitting as usual in front of the monitor, staring at the cute images of catgirls, he notices something blue near his face.

Shaking his head from side to side, the screen didn't disappear.

…

After a while, he finally looked at the screen.

A square-like clock appears in front of him, displaying text that cannot be explained.

The clock on it ran forward across the screen.

clack clack clack clack*

He remained speechless.

…

-…Wha is that!t? I fall on my butt still looking at a screen. Looks pretty ugly, but firstly what the fuck!? A big square clock with letters even typecast -wait, is that comic sans font?!

Expressing his disagreement with this squalor he exclaimed.

-An absolute humiliation of human technology! What an abomination…

…

…After 3 minutes nothing changes, I try to punch it and even slice that ugly bastard, but still no changes.I don't know, maybe I should pray?

-Man, translate that thing or do something, i don't understand what it says!

Unbelievable, but something's starting to happen. It was as if the mechanism had begun to tune itself...

-Oh wait, is something happening?

*clack clack clack clack clack*

[Welcome user, we are a system that provides accommodation services in different corners of the galaxy and you have been selected as the appropriate person to provide our services, you can consider that you have won! If you do not accept the terms of the contract for immediate relocation say ...*?:?5%&& .]

It's not what I expected to see on a strange blue screen, housing?However, the last part was left unclear, what was he trying to convey?

…

-Hey, I don't understand the last part? What do I need to say if I don't want to participate in something very odd? I said with a strange smirk.

[You have been chosen in a new housing program, which we are going to apply for for activation…1…2]

When this digital clock began to count I started to fuss about it. What is he even talking about?! I look at my watches in old fashionable style, however time doesn't seem to go forward. I pinch myself with all power, I am dreaming or anything …nope,still feel pain in my cheeks, ouch.

I think it's gonna hurt for a long time...

[Don't worry, the program is absolutely safe and doesn't harm you in any way!

We have a reputation as a trustworthy housing firm not a single user has a complaint against us! Just wait for 1 minute and you will be in your new house which is absolutely free only for you!]

I don't believe a word of the above.

-…Can I at least take my things, ha? mister blue clock thing? i think you really need to change the design … look really ugly and creepy.

As luck would have it, he ended the report on those very words.

[59..,60. I hope you found your reverie and fantastic adventure in the land of dreams!]

Time, by the feel of it, has gone backwards. I felt that I myself had become a clock that clicked the mechanism, making the gears pletely unaware of the light that surrounded me, I felt as if I was disconnected from the world.

…

-You know, it's not a bad feeling. But something changed in front of my eyes. Same window as before, but it offers a choice.

[Congratulations on the transfer, but you need to make your final choice of accommodation, we don't want the user to be dissatisfied, right?]

You're wrong about that. I'm already dissatisfied, but that's for later…

-Okay, seems I need to choose before I land my feet on earth again, what do we have…

The house near a Scarlet devil mansion? Devils? Looks like a really dangerous place, maybe something like it's some kind of dracula mansion ehh..?

…(Choices such as a country cabin, a house on a sagebrush cliff, a house near a lake, and so on.)

And that's all? I expect more interesting choices or something like that?

Oh, what do I see? Random selection? You know what? Choosing is hard.

-O RANDOM CHOICE! THAT WHAT I LIKES! I'm betting on a handy little Japanese house!

click..

[Thank you for your cooperation. We will try to create the best atmosphere among others just for you.]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm hoping for.

…

I waited in suspense for over 20 minutes, nothing to complain about because I felt pretty cozy and warm.

(After some time..)

I see a light… oh too much light, AHH. That looks like that one fallout cutscene!

A look around to any landmarks for house that ugly bastard was talking about, but sees only a paper with text- "Random"

Ha ha, and he's funny can't be that way...?

…

…

…

…Okay.

I guess I'm getting what I want, ah.

…

…

-How can I be angry? I'm a level-headed member of society. In eighth grade, I aced the math exam, and I was a boy genius. But after that I had the maximum minimum grades to pass the program, but really, who cares?

Oh, time to stop being so useless and start to look where I will live for my entire life?

Looking around, I notice a rather tall mountain that juts out into the sky, cutting through them, and rushing upwards. I can notice a lake that is covered with a small smog of ice, which is quite beaten out and from behind the trees there is a relatively old building with a dial going on different from my watch, if you define time zones, then I am somewhere in Japan? Pretty old building for one so to speak.

Well with the Japanese atmosphere part at least I wasn't wrong.

Quite a beautiful place, I can't complain about the location. But I'm inclined to say I'm dissatisfied with the current situation.

Suddenly I noticed cat ears behind a bush 100 meters away from me. It's a stray cat for sure, but how did it get into the forest? Maybe a village near my location?

I carefully approach the bush and it seems that the cat does not notice me, I stroke the supposed place of the head and what is it? A huge cat, but the fur is weird, like... human hair?

-Nya!What do you think you're doing?! She said with a slightly flushed face.

Am I hallucinating, am I really seeing...catgirl?

Before I realize that catgirls are real, I'm hit by a bullet of energy projectiles with a pointed shape.

The bullet lands right in my face. God, the pain that spread through him doesn't even compare to a bullet wound, I'm sure! Oh, is everything okay? It hurts a lot, but it's nothing but I see nothing in my head. What kind of horrible weapon of torture?!

-Okay, okay i am sorry, please don't hurt me with that thing it hurts like hell! Why is it burning?!

-Don't do that and all be alright! Okay, so my mom says I can see a new outsider here, so here I am, Nya! Funny looking cat with a smug smile, and hat in hands. Am I dreaming, my heart gonna explode from all the cuties I see!

In front of me, I probably see the cutest creature I've ever seen in my life! I'm not kidding! The green cap that hangs in her hands emphasizes and the brown hair that enters in a discord of colors with red that only emphasizes her cute face! 10 out of 10. Wait two tails? That's weird, but fine still 10.

-Oh wait, your mom says she knows that I'm gonna be here? Maybe her mom can send me home, too?

-Yeah, nya! My mom knows many things! She can work with numbers, do funny magic tricks and I think she's the strongest, Nya!

Okay I think I'm gonna die of happiness with this cuteness.

I fell. No, really I fell to the ground. I'm slowly trying to get up, uh why is my head so hurt…

-Mister are you okay? Ask a catgirl with curiosity tilting your head slightly to the side. Cute.

-No, I think you killed me, bye world…I closed my eyes sarcastically. Let's see how she reacts.

-NYA MISTER DON'T DIE! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO DO IN YOUR LIFE! She speaks with a badly frightened face.

I'm gonna give her a speech so she'll be shocked.

-Yes you are indeed right, life is made up of colors, how can I trade my precious consciousness for accepting eternal emptiness. Life is beautiful in its manifestation and I agree with this point of view, if you are a human being recognize the difficulties on the way to become better as such.Ah, life…

…

-What? Are you under something? She asked with a genuinely worried

face.

I fuck up slightly, oh yeah i need to ask her name! I need to fix my aura a little bit.

-Yeah, I'm overreacting sorry, but what's your name? I'm Klei. I say with my best smile.

-All right, my name is Chen. Nice to meet you, Klei. As you can see my ears, I'm a cat yokai. Oh, I'm rambling, bye Klei, I'll see you around, I think you're funny.

Huh? Why so suddenly?

Saying this she jumps into a tree and takes off flying off into the distance. Wait, did I see that right? She FLEW?

-Wait… oh she's already flown away, fine.

…

I sat down on the nearest rock and wondered, what was that? Catgirl, bullets of compressed energy, an omniscient mom, and what she can fly?

…

Am I like one of those reincarnated people from joke stories with a bullshit plot? Fine.

…

Thoughts are jumbled I need to really comprehend this.

-I guess I'll just go for a walk here and there, I'm a little overwhelmed.
