Dimensional Wanderer – Login in a world on the verge of an apocalypse

1 – World 11. Stray Cat Girl (1)

“…”

I could feel my spirit, which had sunk to the bottom of the water, gradually rise.

Thanks to this, I slowly opened my eyes, and the first thing I could see was the blurry background and the dilapidated interior of the building.

Empty interior with no furniture.

Incontinence carved in several places on the wall.

Finally, the window could be seen either shattered to the point where only fragments remained, or covered in a cloud of dust.

The dust accumulated on the floor was a bonus.

But other than that, it looked like a building made of concrete at first glance.

‘······Is it the modern world?’

I was originally a young man who lived an ordinary life working part-time in modern times.

Then, he signed a contract with the creator god who appeared in his dream and ended up like this.

If it was my mistake to simply think it was a dream and take it lightly, it was a mistake.

Anyway, that contract completely turned my life upside down.

It was because I, who signed the contract, had to constantly go through different worlds and raise what I called ‘the level of the soul’.

Besides, this is the 11th map that crossed over to another dimension.

Having been through different worlds, I naturally accepted this world as well.

‘I think it was moved to an abandoned building.’

Thinking that in the modern world there would be nothing strange about having such an abandoned building, I got up and looked around once again.

As it was natural, I didn’t even feel like I was popular.

‘Couldn’t it be a zombie apocalypse?’

When the dark weather outside and the abandoned building harmonized with each other, I felt that for some reason.

However, my body, which had already passed through 10 worlds, was far beyond the human category, so I didn’t worry about anything.

zombie?

I’m pretty sure if that zombie bites my arm, its teeth will break first.

Bubbly-

Anyway, when I got out of the abandoned building with that thought, I was greeted by a street that didn’t feel alive at all.

“…”

Was it a ruined street rather than an abandoned building?

First of all, buildings with 4 to 6 floors were densely lined up.

In addition, most of the old signboards stuck here and there were torn off and only traces of them remained attached with dust.

It was a moment when the weight was tilted more toward the zombie apocalypse, which I had half thought of as a joke a moment ago.

‘yes?’

then from afar

I could see one building that was erected in the middle of the day.

The distance is quite far, so I don’t know exactly, but it was a building with a huge height that seemed to go over at least 1km.

‘No, I think it could be 1.5km.’

Can a building like that be erected in modern times?

Also, the lights that were turned on throughout the building illuminated all directions as if they were lighthouses in the world.

‘Let’s go over there first and collect information.’

For reference, every time I moved to a new world, I first checked what kind of world it was.

This eleventh world was no different.

So I moved my steps in the direction of a high-rise building where people could be.

‘Well, it doesn’t seem like a zombie apocalypse world though.’

If it was a zombie apocalypse, even if it wasn’t the high-rise building I’m heading to, at least one of them should have jumped out of this ruined street.

But the zombies couldn’t even find a shadow, so I deleted that option.

at that time.

Currure…

huh?

I stopped at the strange sound I heard from one side and turned my head there.

A small alley between buildings.

In that alley, I was able to make eye contact with a girl sitting helplessly against a wall.

‘Was there anyone?’

Apart from the unexpected thought, the girl’s eyes were just empty.

In addition, her hair, which was close to gray, was gathered in a mess with a lot of dust, and her face was scruffy and thin.

The last outfit she was wearing was wearing several layers of clothes that she had picked up from somewhere and didn’t fit her size.

To put it simply, she looked like a beggar girl.

‘Well.’

how will we do it.

There was no reason to help, but there was no reason not to help.

So while I was thinking about it for a while, the girl whose eyes met mine suddenly picked to the side and collapsed.

“uh······?”

Seeing that, I went straight to the girl without worrying about it.

* * *

The girl wanted to be a cat.

I’m not talking about a stray cat wandering the streets aimlessly and not knowing when it will die.

I wanted to become a domestic cat that was chosen and raised by people.

A domestic cat who always cares for you even if you don’t do anything, and feeds you enough food every hour.

However, the reality was cold-hearted and forced the stray cat.

‘It’s not fair…’

The girl, who had not had a proper meal for several days and was suffering from extreme hunger, suddenly recalled her past memories.

It was a memory that one day a woman dressed pretty enough to not match this street appeared and took a cat in the same situation as herself.

In addition, there was a time when he and the cat were together.

I also thought they were friendly.

Nevertheless, the cat mercilessly abandoned the girl at the woman’s offer of a snack and chose the woman.

Of course, up to that point, the current girl wouldn’t have cared.

But after a few months, the woman who took the cat reappeared.

In both hands, holding the cat I took with me as a snack.

How the hell was the cat doing? Its fur was glossy, and its flesh had grown plump, leaving little of its former appearance.

Although it looked completely different from her memory, the girl instinctively knew that it was the cat that had been with her.

On the contrary, the cat was just arrogantly hugged, not even paying attention to the girl.

The girl, who was shocked by the sight, immediately went to the people around her and asked them.

Then I heard that the cat who met the owner well got along much better than we who live ‘here’.

After that, the girl thought she wanted to be like that cat.

Sadly, it didn’t happen, though.

‘me too······.’

I can be like a cat too.

But why not be like a cat?

Bubbly-

Then, hearing someone’s footsteps, the girl reflexively turned her head toward it.

There was a man with a strong physique and light clothing.

at the same time.

Currure…

Even the rumbling sound of the girl’s stomach resonated, and the man stopped his steps and began to look this way.

“…”

In that short moment when their eyes met, the girl took a quick look at the man’s overall appearance at a glance.

The same way you look at yourself.

However, those eyes contained only pure curiosity.

It meant that it wasn’t an emotionless, indifferent look like the others.

Besides, the girl thought that her face was healthy and clean, and her clothes were neat as new.

‘There is a possibility…!’

Judging by his appearance, he must have lived well enough to be incomparable to himself.

Above all, the eyes.

Just the fact that he was examining himself now, it was highly likely that he was unfamiliar with the area.

Having grasped that far, the girl fell to the side as if she had lost her mind to arouse sympathy.

As expected, the man quickly approached and soon hugged him lightly.

Just like a woman once heard a cat.

Something similar to that then was happening to him now.

The corner of his mouth went up at the thought that he could now become like the cat he wanted so much, but he quickly fell into a deep sleep so as not to be discovered.

* * *

bubbling—

An unfamiliar sound that tickles your ears.

Following that sound, a savory smell that stimulated my appetite penetrated my sense of smell.

growl-

hearing and smell.

Just because of those two senses, the primal human instinct, appetite, was awakened, and the girl naturally opened her eyes.

“Woke up?”

“…?”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I must have been watching the man who started talking to me.

The girl still didn’t even notice that this place was an abandoned building.

Instead, it is a place that awakens oneself and still catches the eye.

He just stared at the large pot in front of the man.

* * *

‘It’s happening as if I’ve been waiting.’

I brought the fallen girl to a nearby ruined building, laid her down in a suitable place, and cooked a simple porridge to feed.

In fact, I didn’t know anything just because I was looking at the girl.

Because I had no medical knowledge.

Instead, I could use the healing ability, so I cooked simple porridge after I looked like I had starved for a long time.

Having passed through as many as 10 worlds, he also has the ability to store various objects in subspace.

There was also a portable gas stove and ingredients in the space.

So I cooked the porridge without difficulty, and when it was almost finished, I could see the girl open her eyes.

“You woke up just in time. Come over here and have a spoonful.”

“…”

The girl, still not opening her mouth, limped like a zombie and sat down on the bare floor in front of the pot.

Then he peered into the pot.

“What is this…?”

I also found out that I wasn’t dumb.
