You are a cat demon

You have plenty of patience.

The area you are in is very low-lying, and a large amount of water has flooded in. In no time, the water has reached almost to your knees.

You continue your hunched posture, confronting it. The other cat, seemingly impatient, occasionally waves its paws at you, making feints, which you completely ignore. Watching the one-eyed cat demon blink its blind eye every two seconds, you know the scales of victory are tipping slightly in your favor.

Now you just need a little bit of opportunity, it's worth waiting a little longer.

Time passed second by second, and the one-eyed cat demon's fighting spirit seemed to have been extinguished by the torrential rain. It didn't want to stay a moment longer, so it breathed on you and slowly retreated.

You thought about it for a moment and slowly took a few steps back, as if the two sides were about to reconcile.

However, the next second, in the instant that the one-eyed cat demon had turned its head away, you rushed behind it with lightning speed, pounced on it, and bit its side of the neck.

To avoid being crushed like before, you splashed water vigorously, getting it into the one-eyed cat demon's eyes and preventing it from paying attention to anything else. Seeing that this worked, you tried even harder, forcefully shoving the one-eyed cat demon's face completely underwater, causing a series of bubbles to rise to the surface, which greatly encouraged you. Then, after finally managing to break free, before it could even retaliate, you seized the opportunity and bit its hind leg.

Although you are only one year old, your teeth are already very sharp, and you have a habit of grinding your teeth every day. Just then, you bit right on its leg joint. With your upper and lower teeth closing and exerting force, you actually pulled a section of its leg off like a radish.

The one-eyed cat demon roared in pain, dropped its severed leg, and fled in panic.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

This is the world you live in.

Carrying the one-eyed cat demon's severed leg like a victory flag, you climb onto a rock and watch as the creature gradually disappears into the distance.

Once a cat demon loses its leg, it's basically a death sentence. Climbing trees to hunt or escaping enemies will become very difficult, not to mention it was already blind in one eye, making it practically a cripple. You don't need to risk killing it yourself; letting it slowly die in despair will satisfy your carnivorous monster's killing pleasure.

What's even better is that you still have a severed leg, so you won't go hungry tonight. Cat demons have a cannibalistic habit when they're extremely hungry, so eating your own kind's leg won't put any psychological pressure on you.

The rain is still falling.

Wanting to find shelter from the rain before slowly enjoying your food, you carried the severed leg and trotted away along a narrow path washed out by the rain, thinking that you could go out and find other food when the weather clears up tomorrow, and maybe you'll get lucky and dig up a nest of delicious field mice.

The Awakening of Insects has arrived, spring is here, and life will get better and better.
