When I woke up I noticed that Fluffy didn’t send me to this world unarmed and vulnerable. I had a cloth shirt and trousers and some leather armor and gauntlets. There’s also a dagger, flint, and a pouch with some kind of poultice or ointment, some bandages, and three vials of what could be a potion inside.
I have a weapon, armor, and some supplies. I don’t know where I am and there’s a nagging feeling that I should find somewhere to hide.
So I collect everything I have and hang the pouch like a necklace that’s hidden behind my leather armor.
Looking at the lush and dense trees surrounding me. I quickly searched for a tree with a “good feeling” and tried to climb up. Unsurprisingly, it was easy. I was not just cat-like based on how my hands (paws) and face feel. I was very cat-like except for my paws that are more articulate than a normal cat’s. I am also able to stand upright though I feel like I shrunk quite a lot.
While I was ruminating about my appearance I heard footsteps from a distance. They sound like multiple barefooted children walking about and roaming the forest. Though I doubt children would be walking in such a dark forest. So I readied my dagger and waited for the group to come near the tree I’m hiding at.
My eyes were fixated on a direction among the dense trees and tall bushes. I don’t have any clue but my mind is buzzing with the need to look at that place
“Gyaa! Gyaa!” (Goblin)
“(Though I hoped to fight a slime first. A goblin is still a staple of the fantasy genre.)”
I waited until I saw the group of goblins come out of the bushes. There were about four goblins that came out of the bushes. So I readied my knife and prepared to leap at any time.
As soon as they walked under my tree I leaped at the goblin in the pack. I stabbed it through the eye and the goblin died immediately. Without missing a beat, I swung the dagger and slashed the neck of the nearest one, while the other two goblins panicked and the other lay on the ground dying.
“Gyaa! Guuuu...” (Goblin 1)
“Gyaa! Gyaa!” (Goblin 2)
Just as I was going to stab the other goblin, the other one kicked me from behind. I tried to dodge it but I still got hit. Maybe, I wasn’t fully in sync with my new body.
“Gyaabo!” (Goblin 3)
I quickly fixed my stance and leaped to the goblin that kicked me. It was just about to beat me with its gnarly fists.
“Ugh!”
So I closed in and stabbed that goblin from its side. And it was apparently a terrible move. My dagger was stuck on the goblin’s side after it tensed up and grabbed the dagger.
Now I was unarmed and there’s still a goblin alive. I’m not planning on letting it gain the upper hand. So I picked the nearest rock and threw it on its face.
*Smack!*
“Gaaaa!” (Goblin 4)
Hearing the sound of a watermelon being bashed, I grab my dagger from the goblin laying on the ground. I pulled it and threw it towards the remaining goblin.
The dagger flew straight to the goblin’s chest, piercing its heart.
“Gyii!” (Goblin 4)
“Phew.”
That was nerve-wracking. I never thought that it would be hard to move my new body. I am now a cat, Cait Sith for Fluffy’s sake. Anyway, I should try appraising them.
“[Appraisal]”
“4 x Goblin Corpses”
Huh. There must be something wrong there. Let me focus on just a single goblin.
“[Appraisal]”
“Goblin Copse”
What the f*ck is this? Is this all that [Appraisal Lvl 1] can do? Let me try it on a patch of grass.
“[Appraisal]”
“Common Weed”
“How about my dagger? [Appraisal]”
“Iron Dagger”
“This vial! [Appraisal]”
“Weak Mana Potion”
“Oh, it’s not completely useless. At least I’d know if I had a bottle of poison on my hand.”
That scared me for a bit. I thought I wasted my skill point but I didn’t totally waste it. It wasn’t as useful as I hoped but It can still be helpful. I should probably level it up though.
Now, how do I use magic? I have the skills but I don’t know any spells. I should see if there’s any change in my status.

Huh. So I leveled up and that single kick did more damage than I thought. More than a tenth of my health was gone, and it was just a glancing blow. This is bad.
At least I got 5 more skill points. I should probably take more defensive skills and boost [Appraisal].
So what do I choose? There are plenty to choose from. I should learn either [Evasion] or [Parry] but my strength isn’t that high. It might be hard to parry heavy attacks. Maybe [Enhanced Reflex] would be better. Leveling up [Intuition] is pretty good too. I suddenly sensed what to do without thinking. It’s the only skill that could have done that. But It costs 4 skill points so I can only level up [Appraisal] and take another defensive skill. I should also save some skill points just in case.
I should spend 2 on [Appraisal] and take [Evasion] and [Enhanced Reflex]. So I’ll keep an extra skill point just in case.
“Meh.”
I took [Enhanced Reflex] and leveled up [Intuition] instead.

“Hmmm.”
I think I should go to where the goblins came from. I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m gonna get something if I go there. Oh well, time to go. I hope it’s something fluffy.
