"Nnnghhhhhh…" A soft moan could be heard as I woke up as usual. It was a rather good sleep as I didn't feel numb anywhere. As I prepared to get out of bed and put my feet on the floor
*Step. *YELP
"MEOWOUCH?!?!" A feminine voice could be heard as I screamed slightly. Wait. Feminine? But I'm a guy? Wait. Where's the mirror? My thoughts were frantic as I tried to find the mirror in my room.
"Ah there it is" a mirror appeared just behind my door , in front of the mirror I could see an unfamiliar face, a young woman with feline characteristics. She has medium-length, light gray hair with white streaks, Her eyes are a bright cyan color, with dark blue pupils and golden rings around her irises
"Wh—" WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?!? That was my first thought as I saw myself in the mirror.
—
"Well I gotta say though… Not bad at all" I murmured to myself as I looked at myself through the mirror , my human ears were now gone, replaced by these cat ears. Oh they're very sensitive though. Don't ask how I know.
It was an experiment. For Science. Yeah For Science! The same could be said for my tail which I stepped on when I woke up. It was weird when I tried to hold it as it turned me on quite easily…
ANYWAY That's not the main highlight. The question is what do I do now? I'm basically an illegal citizen over here , no documents no nothing. Urghh… what if I got captured by some sort of organization like the SCP-foundation I'd be toasted.
"Wait no. Catfished? Ehhhhhh… whatever that can wait" The more urgent issue right now is simple. What do I tell my family? No, would they even recognize me? Ughhh so much to think of , in the end my choice was rather simple.
"Nigerundayo~" That's right! The Joestar family's most powerful technique , run away first and deal with the consequences later.
FWOOSH
A sound could be heard as a streak of yellow and golden lighting appeared momentarily

"John, what was that noise? Hm?" the voice of an aged man could be seen , he had a rather big beer belly as he looked at the room. It was a damn mess.
"Tsk. Did that brat disappear again? Wait, when was there a mirror here?"
"Livia!"
"Yeah?" the voice of a girl could be heard replying to the aged man's voice
"When did John have a mirror here?"
"What mirror?" "There's no mirror there" the young girl's voice could be heard
"??? What the. Am I drunk?! My wife's gonna kill me…" The man could've sworn there was a mirror there.
"Did you drink again?"
"I could've sworn there was one…"
"Alright Dad let's get you to bed"
—
THUD* "OOMPH" "Owww… that hurts" I muttered to myself , my forehead had a pretty obvious red mark. "Damn though what sort of speed was that…"
I rammed myself into a tree. Wow so cliche but man I didn't know I'd be that fast? I thought she was just one of those cat folks from those fantasy settings. But honestly who is this cat girl anyway?
"Hmm… what did I bring with me." "Let's see…" "Guh…" "My phone. And only a rather oversized hoodie from when I was still a normal human male" I was in a hurry. Where did my pants go ?? Ah it must've fallen off then.
"Damn If this was a stream I'd be giving fan service left and right" I muttered , honestly though which game or story is this damn character from. "I should've paid more attention to those ads…"
"Wait a minute. I'M STUPID. I'll just post this in OneFeed. I'M A GENIUS" , OneFeed , in 2028 most famous social media apps were united by someone. Eh? Whatever the question is, what pose should I use…
Let's see I got… Nothing. My mind's blank fucking hell… now what? Uh… "Like this-?!" I said as I lay my body to the grass while showing my tail and making a claw gesture with one of my hands.
"Uhm… Meow~?" as the picture was snapped , I quickly put some tags with the posts #Cosplay #CatGirl #Meow~ and etc , now you all might be asking? "Isn't that embarrassing?" Bro. I don't care my shame died a long time ago *Smug face
Anyways this grass is so comfy I think I'm gonna take a quick little nap… Yeah… "Yawnnnn" . Just a quick 15 minute nap.
—
"Nn?!?! Meow?!?" what the. The sky was now dark , how long did I sleep? "4 HOURS?!?!" What the hell , is this because I'm technically half cat now so I sleep a lot? Whatever, let's check this post out.

And countless more comments on this specific post , some a bit inappropriate to even look at. Holy fuck the degenerate nature of humans are crazy dawg. Was what I was thinking as I could feel my jaws hanging open.
"But. Cipher huh. Let's see." Tap* Tap* Tap* Tap*
As I typed Cipher into google , the first thing I saw was—
[In cryptography, a cipher (or cypher) is an algorithm for performing encryption or decryption —a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure. An alternative, less common term is encipherment. To encipher or encode is to convert information into cipher or code.]
"…" That was useless. Uhhh
[Cipher Character] Tap*
Searching results for "Cipher character" , as I typed that in a few sites showed up. Let's see. [Cipher | The boys.] Well definitely not that one , AH there it is. [Cipher Honkai Star Rail] This one looks just like me.
"What the?" as I tapped into the website titled "Honkai: Star Rail Fandom Cipher" the first few lines I saw were :
"Cifera? Ah, so you've heard of me... But few call me by that name these days. Call me Cipher. It's sharper and swifter, like the wind itself. A perfect name for a master thief, don't you think?"
"Let's see…" I murmured. "Cipher, real name Cifera, is a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail. The lost city of rogues, Dolos, where 300 Rogues revel in their games, answering to no one.
"Race onward, fleet-Footed Thief Star Cifera, Chrysos Heir of the "Trickery" Coreflame, and may your web of lies spread with the breeze throughout all lands. — "Ha! Trying to pull one over on me? Dream on!"
"Ugh this is useless. I need to know her powers." I murmured in annoyance. "Wait can't I just search it up?" let's see , Tap* Tap* Tap*
[Cipher Honkai Star Rail Powers] I typed in google , as the search gave me a result I never expected from google's AI.
[Ciphers' power is making someone believe a lie, which turns it into the truth until they figure it out that it's a lie]
"Huh. Wait now that I think about it. How is my phone not dead yet?" as I thought of that my find instantly shut down. Ah. AHHHHHHH. THAT'S WHY.
"So making someone believe in a lie turns it into the truth huh." "Ah wait. No wonder something felt off when I looked into the mirror , I don't have a mirror in my room…"
"Wait , if that was her power then how could I run so fast?" Another question popped in my head. Think me Think , You're smart as hell right , surely you can figure out this simple thing…
"Lies into Reality" Lies into Reality" "Hmmmm…" "I guess it works like a faith base system then?" Those were my thoughts , since the character Cipher seemed to be rather famous coming from the game Honkai Star Rail.
Surely not a lot of people read through her lore and through her gameplay people must've thought she just has superspeed like the Flash and the others. Collective believe huh.
"Doesn't that mean I'm invincible? Well not now obviously but if I could get everyone to believe I'm a completely invincible person then…" "I'd be unstoppable!"
Question is. How do I get people to believe in me?
These days there's so many conspiracy theories I'd have to be really smart to let it work but how…
"Hmmm" I murmured to myself while walking in a circle , my tail was going right and left as I pondered. The best way would be to make one of those cults. Ya know those Eldritch-God like being cults like Cthulthu , Niggurath and the like.
Eh but those would get caught or monitored by the police , not a good idea— Or… I could be the chosen one. Yeahhhhhh , like the ones you see in , uh oh better not say it out loud I don't wanna get struck by their wrath.
Anyways , the goal is rather clear now isn't it. "Hehe~" I murmured to myself , I'll just call myself a Chosen One and hope that I won't get caught. Technically it is officially recognized by the world after all
"Alright! It's time for this uh—Cat girl to conquer the world now Let's—
*GRUMBLE
"Ugh… I haven't eaten yet. How did I forget about it?" "Alright." "First mission…" "Find myself a meal!!!"
—
*GRUMBLE "Hah.. Hah.. Hah.. I'm so hungry ;-;" I have been walking for 30 minutes , and there's nothing. It's alright I'll find in 1 minute-
AH a SMALL CONVENIENCE STORE , PERFECT , I'll run to it but not too fast… And-
*WHOOSH
"Phew. Didn't crash this time". Wait, better cover my ears as I used the hoodie while curling my tail inside the hoodie.
*DING *DING [Welcome Welcome please find what you need] As the store's mechanical voice could be heard. As she entered the rather small store.
Let's see… Hm? Onigiri for 2000 Won Wait. Yuan? Huh? I ran all the way to Korea?!?!?!
"Uhm excuse me where is this?" I asked the cashier , she seemed to look at me in surprise before saying.
"Ah this is Seoul , also your Korean is very fluent for a foreigner" She said. Wait Korean? I was speaking English though… "Is that so haha?" Wait. Isn't this a perfect time to test my powers?
"Miss, do you wanna see a magic trick?" I asked her with great enthusiasm. The miss looked at me with a confused smile before saying , "go ahead" . "I'll pay for this Onigiri without moving a finger" I said with confidence.
"Uhm. Alright?" She said as she picked up the Onigiri and scanned it suddenly- [Payment Accepted]. "Woah that's so cool how did you do tha- Miss?" "Huh. Was I hallucinating?" She thought to herself yet the payment record was there.
Of course , by then Cipher was long gone…
Munch* Munch* "Huh, not bad , but it could be better" I murmured as I climbed into a random tree. Now then as I eat my meal , I gotta think. Where would be a good place to start my act…
China? I'd be cooked , Japan? I don't think they'd believe me, they might even think I'm some sort of ghost. America? I'd be shot dead… Well I'd run before it happens. Korea? I dunno, I lack information…
"What place would be good Hmmm…" Africa? Singapore? Vietnam? Russia? The UK? Decisions~ Decisions~" I thought to myself as my tail swung left and right on the tree.
"You know what , whatever I'll think about it when I have to , for now… Uhm how do Koreans say it again? " "Ah whatever Kamshamida? I think…"
Of course at the time I didn't know how big and important this would be in the future. When Remnants began appearing in this World.
