Chapter 1

" Wen Long, Wen Long! What are you still sleeping for? Hurry up and go find a job! Look at how long you've been idle at home..."

The familiar voice rang in his ears, and Wen Long turned over, then, as usual, struggled to get up from bed with sleepy eyes.

"Got it, Mom. What's the point of working every day? I need a more passionate and adventurous life... meow..."

"Meow?"

In an instant, Wen Long felt something was off. He suddenly jumped up and hurriedly ran to the mirror in the bedroom to look at himself.

Sure enough... Wen Long found that the person in the mirror was no longer the familiar self. Instead, it was a cat with tiger-striped fur and an old scar on its face!

"Meow, what's going on? Why did I turn into a cat, and one that can speak human language, an Ailu cat? And where am I? Why is this place different from my bedroom? Could it be that I..."

Seeing his reflection in the mirror, Wen Long was startled. He pinched his cheek to test if he was dreaming, but the clear pain quickly transmitted through his nerves to his brain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... So it's true... This isn't a dream... I really did travel to the world of Monster Hunter! But why did I become an Ailu cat instead of a human? Meow!"

Since he was a cat, he unconsciously added "meow" to his speech.

The Ailu cat, of course, is not a creature from Earth but a pet in the game series "Monster Hunter." In the game, these Ailu cats are not only important NPCs who provide services in various villages and towns but also important partners for the hunters, helping them hunt fierce monsters!

"Wait, let me organize my thoughts. What's going on? How did I end up in this world? I remember last night I was..."

Wen Long began to recall everything that happened last night. Just yesterday, Wen Long clearly remembered being cooped up at home and being urged by his mother to find a job. He spent the whole day running to job fairs, submitting resumes, and came back empty-handed. He then played "Monster Hunter Online" all night until he fell asleep at two in the morning... and woke up to find himself transported.

"Meow... I remember complaining that even if I found a 9-to-5 job, it wouldn't be meaningful. I wished I could travel to a more exciting world filled with hunting and adventure... Meow, I actually did travel here!"

Although it seemed unbelievable, Wen Long quickly accepted the reality because the Ailu cat's memories contained all the knowledge of this world, which felt so real that he couldn't doubt its existence.

"Turns out the Ailu cat that received my soul is also named 'Wen Long.' I never thought I'd have the same name as a cat in another world..."

Wen Long continued to recall the memories stored in this body and discovered that the Ailu cat he had become was not an ordinary one.

This Ailu cat had tiger-striped fur and was larger than the average Ailu cat. According to the knowledge he gained after the transformation, Wen Long knew that this type of Ailu cat was called a "Tiger Cat," which was stronger, faster, and more physically capable than the average Ailu cat.

"Ah, I see..." Wen Long gently traced the scar on his face, feeling a faint pain that reminded him of its origin. "This Tiger Cat's scar was from a battle with a giant beast on the snowy mountain, the Snow Lion King... An Ailu cat could single-handedly fight a Snow Lion King, making it a hero among Ailu cats. However, due to its rebellious nature, it refused to interact with humans and stayed in the Cat Village, never looking for a job..."

"Alright, even in the world of Monster Hunter, parents still think finding a good job means success, just like on Earth... I didn't expect even Ailu cats to be the same..."

While thinking this, Wen Long used his paw to groom his beautiful tiger-striped fur and then walked out.

"Wen Long, look at the white cat next door. It's already a partner to a two-star hunter and is famous in the village. Can't you learn from it and bring some glory to our family?" As soon as he came out, Wen Long heard a black cat nagging. He knew this black cat was his mother in this world.

"Mothers are all the same, I remember my mother on Earth said something similar..." Wen Long thought.

Although he thought this, Wen Long knew this was his mother in this world, so he didn't argue and just laughed it off, then left the house.

"I know, Mom. I'll go find a job in the village today and make a name for myself to give you a good life. Just wait and see!" Wen Long replied.

"Huh? Why are you being so obedient today? Wen Long... Have you finally grown up? Sniff..." The cat mother was taken aback, tears welling up in her eyes. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said goodbye to Wen Long.

Seeing this, Wen Long felt a mix of emotions. He was touched by the love of parents but also found it amusing that he just wanted to experience the thrill of hunting in this world.

"Finding a job? Isn't that a piece of cake? I couldn't find a job on Earth, but this is the world of Monster Hunter. How could I not find a job here?"

"Back when I played Monster Hunter Online, I was a top-tier player. I hunted many legendary monsters and was the highest-ranked player on the server. Now that I'm in the world of Monster Hunter, it's exactly what I wanted... meow!"

Recalling his past glory in the game, Wen Long couldn't help but look forward to his new life in the Monster Hunter world. He knew that hunters who could hunt ancient dragons were legendary figures, and those who could do so without taking damage were unheard of!

"Although I don't know if the ancient dragons in this world are as powerful as those in the game, from the strength and speed I feel, this body should be no worse than a human's. After getting used to it, I should be able to use most of my skills..."

"In that case, becoming an ordinary hunter shouldn't be a problem. But to be safe, I'll familiarize myself with this world while finding a powerful hunter as a partner. We'll hunt dragons together, become legendary heroes, and reach the peak of life... or rather, the peak of cat life..."
