Nor wished that, if there was a next life, he could come back as a carefree black cat. His wish was granted in the least convenient way possible. He wakes in another world with no explanation, no special ability, and no idea how to survive—only an enormous body covered in absurdly long black fur. After a week of rummaging through garbage, drinking muddy water, and being chased away by territorial cats, Nor collapses by the roadside. He is rescued by Quanli, a mysterious young woman from the demon lands who speaks directly into his mind. She is also the Demon King’s daughter—and, by Nor’s reckoning, almost impressively useless. Together, an ex-human cat slowly losing pieces of his former life and a sheltered demon princess set out to see the human world for themselves. This is an isekai about curiosity rather than conquest: a journey through everyday lives, misunderstandings, and societies that may not be what either side was taught to believe.
