Bab 1: Reincarnation
"My daughter are you still with me?" A man in a straitjacket asks.
"Papa when will I be able to see you again?" A childish voice asks.
"soon my shy little princess very soon…" I shed a tear from longing.
"Oy, it's the best day of this year because your time has run out, hahaha!" A guard mockingly says. "If I wasn't being paid extra then you would already be suffering in hell, count yourself lucky you've survived this long ye rat."
The guard opens the heavy door. The prisoner feels chills run down his back as the door creaks. 'It is alright you are not guilty remember after this you'll go to heaven and be happy with your daughter."
The prisoners cheer behind bars when they see the man walk by. "Times run out EY? Bout time! Fuck OFF to hell. I will murder you in hell ye BASTARD!"
The voices die down to murmurs as he enters a guarded room with a chair in the middle, an electric chair.
Families are sitting on benches with mostly everyone there being relatives or victims of a horrible crime.
They are wearing bright coloured clothing. And have smiles fixated. I am forced on the chair by a woman in a guard uniform. She takes out a rolled up piece of paper from her pocket and reads.
"Evert Rask you are here because you bombed a trans rights protest, bombed a office full of liberals. You have managed to successfully murder 30people and injure double that. Any last words?"
"Grey I want you to turn around close your eyes and ears then count to 60 out loud." The woman immediately pulls the lever connected to the electric chair.
He feels as if every inch of himself is being broiled in an oven, his whole body jerks back and forth amplifying his pain, he experiences a whole lifetime of pain for a moment before dying.
The crowd cheers and applauds. A baby laughs innocently and a grandma cheers like she is in her 30's.
(1st person pov)
'Where the hell am I?' Surrounding me is a forest filled with vibrant colours. I attempt to stand up but fall on back.
"mroks ook kuoooUk" 'What the ducks?' What I attempted to say came out as weird howls and meows.
I observe myself and find my skin to be covered in thick light grey fur, my hands have turned into paws, I can feel a unfamiliar limb and my eyesight is a lot sharper.

I then notice a weird unfamiliar substance inside me and the air. I can sense slightly that there is a bit of this substance everywhere. I know subconciously that I have control of the substance that is in me.
'This can not be earth I'm on anymore, so it is likely this is the after life then which means that Grey is in this world!' I'm filled with glee at the thought of living with my daughter, in my past lfie I was never able to raise her fully and there are still many things I want to do with her like fishing and activites families do.
'But before going out looking for her I still need basic necessities. Since I am now a cat I dont need to build shelter or sew clothes and I can learn to hunt, to hide from predators I can hide on tree crowns or find a isolated hole like under a tree.'
I start marching forward, I balance myself with my dexterous tail which helps me immensly. As I grow my aptitude for walking I take in the whole scenery of the forest. Rocks with colorful centipedes wrigling underneat, birds singing, old trees with dry bark and healthy trees with lush leaves, small plants with strange leaves with catterpillars feasting on them and mushroooms scattered near trees especially near trees that bear fruits or nuts.
The fruits look slightly different from the ones on earth, these stand out with bright colors and grow in abundance. I stop marching infront of a old tree, it is slightly uprooted so a small space is underneath it.
the entrance is a bit small and my head barely fits, inside I need to pressure the walls so my whole body fits, it is strangely comfortable the best way to compare it is if you roll yourself up like a burito in a blanket and the temperature is very cold, yet you are still warm.
I squeeze myself out. 'I've found a shelter from predators so now I need to find food. I am a cat now so I need to find small rodents or birds, rodents will probably be easier to find so I will try hunting them first.' I begin searching for tracks on the forest floor.
Searching near trees I find under a apple tree a peculiar smell that excites my body, I feel a subconscious calling to search for more. I follow the smell with difficulty to a small berry bush, I keep my body low and observe it. I hear a leaf crackling and something scratching. Amazingly my body pinpoints where the sound is coming from, there I see my prey a fat rat with a coat of dark brown fur eating a berry on a thick branch.
I stalk it till it returns from the branches of the bush to the ground, it contently walks in my direction and I lash out. I bite its stomach, its squeaks make me feel proud, not because it is suffering but because my bite is effective, it stops resisting and perishes some few seconds later.
'Now how should I go about eating this? Cats are carnivorous so I can likely eat every part, rats have small bones and are mostly soft tissue and skin. Welp bottoms up...' I close my eyes and begin like a snake swallow its head.
The fur brushes against my mouth, my hair stands on end but I don't stop. As I slurp up the rats tail I feel the last of it going down my throat, I finally swallow the entire rat, fortunately I feel my stomach is full so no need for another one, yet.
'I can now start experimenting with this substance.' I know that I have control over the substance inside me instinctively. I begin trying to move it by just wanting it to, I completely fail this way so instead I attempt to first concentrate on it and then imagine it moving. I succeed so I lead it to my paw then into the ground.
My eyes widen as a blood red stem chock full of thorns sprouts from the ground infront of me, I feel a deep connection to it and I notice too that I don't need to give it more substance after it has formed.
I try manipulating it like I did with substance by concentrating on it, strangely I only need to will it to move how I want it to. 'This is great, with this I can hunt herbivores larger than me like pigs or deer, I'd easily be able to incapacitate their legs with this almost like a saw. I wonder what happens if I don't lead it away from my body?'
: I cover my arm completely with substance, my arm feels a lot stronger and I gain a idea to do a test. I cover my legs and arms in substance and I leap forward. I rip through the air straight at a tree. 'Oh fuck!' I hold my arms out.
Surprisingly my arms and legs absorb the impact proving they are also more durable, but then I almost fall off the tree but my cat reflexes lead me to extend my claws saving me, I jump off the tree and land on the ground feet first.
'That was way to close for comfort, still this led to a amazing discovery. If I cover myself with substance then my tissue grows more durable and muscles stronger, I should take more risks in the future.
I am likely not the only one with this substance inside me so I will need to grow stronger, I will set my goal for this life to foster Grey. And I should start calling substance by a different name, maybe mana like in Terraria or ki that some asian folk think exists, I'll go with mana ki sounds weird.
