"It’s been a long time, Father." I was just an ordinary 40-something freelance translator. My life was simple: a 3LDK apartment, four cats, and a quiet existence. After losing my eldest cat, I was drowning in grief on his first anniversary—until the extraordinary kicked the door down. My cat returned. Not as a pet, but as a Beastman King from another world. Aliens? Reincarnation? A throne? "Wake me up from this dream..." I muttered, only to be met with a searing Cat Punch to the face. "IT’S REAL?!" Dragged into a world of magic and swords, I discovered I hadn't come empty-handed. I had a 'Cheat' capability. And if my son—my brave, furry son—is supposed to rule this crumbling kingdom, then I have only one mission. "Listen, son. Trust your old man. I’m going to make you the greatest King in history." This is the record of a middle-aged man’s struggle—a man who might be suffering from a late-onset case of 'Chuunibyou,' but has the modern knowledge and ruthless logic to back it up. "Now then... Treats? Cars? The 〇hite House? Just say the word. I’ll bring you whatever you want!" "...Wait. Who are you? What the—?!" This novel is originally published on Shōsetsuka ni Narō and Kakuyomu under the title 暇だから言ってみた。「光あれ」(Let There Be Light) and was translated using Claude AI.
