The Chinese zodiac consists of 12 animal symbols. The 12 animals are Rat, Buffalo, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Chicken, Dog and Pig. The zodiac sign represents the year of birth of each person.
But have you ever wondered, of the 12 animals, why are there no cats?
Why is there no year of the Cat?
It is clear, that cats are ominous creatures in myth and legend.
As a legend, in the chaotic prehistoric world, the Jade Emperor decided to choose 12 beast marks from creatures around the world according to the twelve branches (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Wu , Hi) in the twelve Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
The news was heard by the cat and mouse who were good friends and they decided to go out together.
The cat was afraid he would wake up late, so he told the mouse to wake him up the next morning and the mouse agreed. However, the next morning, the mouse went back on his word, he woke up quietly, left without saying goodbye, and was chosen as the first animal in 12 signs.
They argue about who makes more contributions.
A fight ensued.
Finally, the Heavenly Emperor judged and failed to distinguish between truth and falsehood and immediately arranged for a seat. When the cat can't find its place, it gets angry and fights with the others.
But this is not same as the history sung.
The cat who was always life with the death, became the god of death right hand. It hate human and other animal spirit. Life in lonely way it can do until itself so tired of his long immortality begin his war toward heaven rules.
In the end ... he was being killed ...
Shura Palace.
"So, this is my ending after fighting for peace?."
A mere human who ascended to the position of a Eastern god, becoming infamous as an Evil Cat God, he lost everything. His Constellation, his faith and his status. His divinity got cut off, and his divine power disappeared.
"I’d like you to work with me."
That’s when the master of the Western star, Ophiuchus, offered his hand …
After grabbing Ophiuchus hand, Evil Cat Gods decided to live again as the Hunter to get back at the gods who threw him down to the underworld!
‘So, I’ve really come back.’
"Ophiuchus, you evil bastard!."
"Hahaha ... just know it now ?."
"Only the weakling will care about race and lineage, that’s because they need to see something that is similar to themselves to feel safe. And they need to use another life to continue their dreams; But the sun does not need another sun, and the eternal one does not need another to realize his own dreams."
"Who said that ? the immortal one also need dao partner, right?."
"Just say what do you want me to do?."
"Be my death god's. Help me capture the wanted damn star."
"What can you gift me as surprise ? I hope will not lowly item etc."
"Damn ... Hahahaha, sure there are not. Other than Darkness blessing , there also cultivation skill and herb for you used it."
"Nice , to be partner with you. Gladly accept your request."
"Hahahahaha ... each to each other."
"What do you think that god to do with a planet ? What is the end times? Zombie? Monster? Zerg?."
"No! Only when everything that mankind fears, worships, and even dreams becomes reality, is the real end of mankind!."
"Seven sin still work well in the end."
"Thats also true. Resurgence of spiritual energy and re-casting of faith, this is a gluttonous feast for gods, Buddhas and demons, and the greatest catastrophe in human history."
"Damn. Hahahaha ... did you forgot, you also include ?."
GASP !
"Well, seem i am forgotten about that fact."
Bwahahahahaha—
Bwahahahahaha—
The hall was full of their laugh. As forgotten star god's, their time also free from order. Both was never got hardship as star god's. Since the two of them always hidden in darkness.
Little people remember that in the sky still has two big star's.
Zombies, aliens, strange shapes monster, fairies and ghosts, gods and demons, fairy and Buddha, all of these will come to the world!
Today world already different than old day. People who awaken their attribute will try their best to get star god blessing.
They are being called as, Hunter!
"Hunter, huh. What different this name hunter with our name constellation?."
"Well, you need hunt to get skill or item. And us only need call and kill. Just a little in here and there some are stupid mob or hard bone beast."
"Aa~, beast ... Little miss my own beast companion."
"Wanna bring it? Do you want to adding calamity?."
"Hey! It was beauty spirit, okey. It is not calamity except when it angry or annoyed , all in all is fine."
"Fine your head !! That dangerous, ya' know!!."
"Ok ok, where to go?."
"Well, i cant sent you on the spot yet. But .... inside dungeon os more safe at this moment, now ... go ...."
Flutter flutter, flutter, flutter, the heart is about to pop out.
"Eastern palace... your calamity arrived."
It seems to have suddenly erupted. Everything in front of the eyes slowly becomes blurred, and the person is lying calmly and no longer moving. A gust of cool wind passed, it seemed to be a nice afternoon.
"Hey, get up and work for me!."
A drink and break the silence, a middle-aged peasant woman, just squatting at the barrel of the barrel.
The cat suddenly woke up from his sleep and thought, "Where am I?."
Ding dong!【System activation is successful】
The young man's face was pale, his eyes were clear and bright, and his two sword eyebrows rose, revealing an extraordinary ambition.
"It's reborn!."
It took him only 500 years to ascend to the supreme arcadia god. I really have eyes in heaven!
"Oh, 12 heavenly masters, you will never think that I, Evil Cat God's , have not died yet."
In this life, He want to awaken the divine pulse in my body in advance. Then all his life, those enemies who have maimed him in previous lives, you are waiting to meet your anger!
Who said you can not used eastern skill to be a hunter??
And ... Blood debt must be paid with blood!
What you did to me in previous lives. In this life, I will redouble my efforts to repay you!
In this life, he is the reincarnation and kill all those who should be killed!
"I will revenge, all, who wronged me!"
[Please be prepared, Host. You have just entered another world and the target female lead is about to show up.]
He frowned. "Are you the System?." Did not Ophiuchus said it was hunter system ? Why there female Lead??

[System Memories Activated! Welcome Host to Hunter System!]
His mind suddenly went blank and a lot of information poured into his brain. It felt like his head was about to split so he held his head and shivered.
This was more painful than having a heart attack.
''Arghh....''
Huh... Did voice come out of my mouth?
''I thought ... I died?.''
'Am I hallucinating?'
[No Host. You are perfectly healthy]
''I see... this takes some time to get used to....''
My real name is Akhtar Chain Aakesh. As you can see, I have become a glorious awaken and I have transmigrated into one of the major countries in the world.
His gaze shifted ever so slightly towards the words floating in the air.
[I understand Host, but let me show your stats first? You have several unread messages.]
"Show me the messages first."
There were so many things he could not understand. But, so what? The most important thing was that he came back alive!
As soon as he said the word ‘open’, a clear beep entered his head and the hidden messages revealed themselves.
[There are two unread messages.]
– Congratulations on becoming a [Hunter Player] (unread)
– [Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong] is now available. (unread)
Akhtar smiled brightly. ‘Finally! Primitive Spiritual World'
"Well, did i need to say a thank you too?"
[Opiuchus god's answer you with 'Yes , you need' with big laugh]
"Oke okey, Thanks brother. You also put me on good place, uh."
Hangzhou City within the territory of China.
The West Lake was shimmering, and wisps of sunlight poured down, forming a faint halo on the surface of the water.
What more amazing is ...
From time to time, under the water of the West Lake, there are huge black shadows passing by.
They flipped their huge bodies, jumped out of the West Lake, vacated for tens of feet and then fell, setting off layers of huge waves.
Every giant black shadow is 100 meters or so in size!
As for the giant shadows in the West Lake, the residents by the West Lake have long been used to it.
"Lets prepared became hunter then"
So, the first message, then.
– Congratulations on becoming a [Player] (unread)
‘Confirm.’
Ring!
[This System will support the growth of the ‘Hunter Player.’ Failing to comply with the System’s instructions will result in potential penalties.]
[The Host , Your rewards have been delivered.]
"So this really is happening....'' He murmured with disbelief.
Knock knock knock
''Chain! Breakfast is ready, hurry up you need to get ready for school!.''
After taking a deep breath, he walked out of the bathroom, made my way over to the stairs, and started descending them. When reached the Living Room, he saw a little girl who woke him up sitting on the chair with an energetic expression on her face.
"How your feeling today my son?."
"All is fine, mom."
In Kitchen I saw a woman with beautiful long black hair, standing at a height of 170cm and after hearing me walk to the living room, she turned towards me, I saw her face and she definitely is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Black eyes just like mine and little girls with the face of a model.
“Maybe, you hurt your head really bad?.” The younger sister stood at a distance away and asked him.
“No, that’s not it.”
Even though he denied it, Akhtar’s younger sibling, Rukia Rusha’s eyes remained suspicious.
“Are you really okay?.”
“Yes, I’m telling you the truth. Do not worry so much, mom.”
“I told you to stop getting hurt!! You have any idea how worried I was?!.”
"Mother … I’m sorry ... Sorry."
His mother soon stopped talking, and as her head fell, began crying.
His own nostrils stung quite a bit then.
"You need to get ready for school, so eat quickly.'' His mother told me with a smile and started focusing on cooking again.
''Brother! Did cat catch your tongue!.'' the little girl asked me with a pout on her cute face and I really want to pinch her cheeks.
''Mouuu... Mom! Brother is bullying me again!.''
the little girl said while rubbing her cheeks.
“Sniff.”
Thankfully, his strong-willed sister stopped crying after a short while. Unfortunately for him, though, if her nagging continued on for over one hour afterwards.
''Alright alright, eat fast, you both need to go to school soon.''
Akhtar smiled warmly.
“Brother, Do you hear me? If you get hurt one more time, I’m going to give up on studying, find a job, and make sure you don’t work as a Hunter ever again.”
Rusha sharp glare did not really suit her pretty face, but that was a biological trait she had shared with her older brother.
“Okay, okay. I hear you.”
"My son, you have been strangely quiet today, what's up?.'' The beautiful middle-aged woman asked.
''I-I am fine, just a little sleepy.'' I had to make some excuses until my memories come back. After that, I quickly ate my breakfast and it was delicious.
*Beep*
[Memory Restoration Commencing]
Akhtar heard the system's voice in my head and floating texts appeared in front of me.
''Aargh!!'' I quickly put my hands in front of my mouth to stop my voice so no one hears me yell because currently, my head feels like it's splitting!
Click.
To prevent eyewitnesses intruding on him, he even locked the door. Not sure how long it took, it might have taken a minute or 10 minute's, not sure but it felt like a long time. I remember everything from my birth to this date.
He belatedly remembered this.
He heard those words just before he lost his consciousness.
‘Back then, it was talking about a Player this and that, no?’
Of course, back then or even now, he still could not really understand what on earth was going here.
The ‘System’, ‘growth’, ‘penalties’, and finally, ‘rewards’.
Huft huft huft ... 15 years ... He make it comeback when he is still 15 years old !!
It was before her mother fall ill in next three month.
There were many more memories, but it's hard to know all of it, but the thing which made me most excited is the Martial Arts Tournaments!
Akhtar try to focus on next messages. Seeing the words that could only be found in a video game appearing before his eyes without any prior explanations, only served to confound him even further.
He decided to worry about the confusing words later and calmly opened the next message.
– [Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong] is now available. (unread)
Gulp. ‘Confirm.’
[Daily Quest: Preparations to become stronger]
Press-up, 100 times: Incomplete (0/100)
Sit-up, 100 times: Incomplete (0/100)
Squat, 100 times: Incomplete (0/100)

"Right on the time, lets go, Miew2 !."
The next day ...
Akhtar thinking about mixed his training with basic martial art, whe he hear his sister calling.
Knock knock knock
''Big brother let's hurry up!''
Ding! [The host allowed to mixed the martial art on the hunter skill.]
He reflexively spat out a dumbfounded chuckle after confirming the contents of the system message.
“Ha, haha …. Seriously, Yes.” He answered his sister while he ran to catch my little sister with a smile and started walking with her towards the school.
Should this be the feelings of disappointment?
To think, what the grand-sounding Daily Quest, the one titled ‘Preparations to become strong’, was nothing more than a list of physical exercises to train his body….
Sigh. "Lets just do it for now."
Akhtar woke up at 4 am and started doing my running quest.
“One, two, three…..”
The count started from ‘one’ and quickly climbed upwards.
“…..97, 98, 99, 100.”
Since he started this thing, he decided to do all 100, but quite different from his expectation, nothing happened when he was finished.
Akhtar nearly became crazy !
But for a while, the mood was really as complicated as it was complicated. Think about this, he want to swear at system ...
After arrived on thr school, he walk one of the training dummies which are scattered everywhere in the hall.
‘I could try Taekwondo at first....’ He thought to myself and I went to kicking stance to be ready for a kick.
HA!
I kicked towards the training dummy and instantly sent it flying towards the nearby wall. “Just what the hell am I doing….”
Akhtar smirked helplessly and stood straight up.

“Hey! Are you okay?,” A man who appeared to be in his mid-20s said with his eyes wide open.
"Sorry, who are you ?."
"Shit , how can you forget me, your friends for 6 years?."
“Yes. Errr , well, as you can see, I’m fine.”
“Really? It looks fine to me.”
His face written with 'Man , I could not believe it.'
"Seriously, you make me afraid so much that day, I never know that awaken human can became like that."
"Haha ... that my first time feeling it too, cant be helped."
“I guess that your case is really a unique one.”
He was the only one under the heavens. The most unique Hunter in the whole world!
3 hours later.
*Pant*
"Ahhhhhh ****, my lungs feel like they are on fire!."
"Do not push yourself to much, are not you just check out from hospital?."
"I just finished the run, and I have to confess that it was very painful!."
"Take it easy, boy" The teacher laughed.
"I almost dragged my legs in the last 5 km."
Hahahahaha—
All his school friends laughed at him. But it was fun so he let it be just like that ...
'But I finished the Quest and I received my rewards....'

Akhtar massaged his forehead and stood up from the chair to loosen his body with a bout of light stretching. He moved his body this way and that for a while. He bent his body 90 degrees and that’s when he discovered two small boxes lying forgotten on the floor.
"Hm? The ‘random boxes’?."
Two boxes wrapped in the monotone gift wrappers and topped off with a ribbon – exactly like the ones in video games.
Akhtar clicked Random Box and instantly 5×5 sized black box with a question mark on top of it.
"Open."
[You opened Random Box!]
[You received Body improvement Pills x50!]
That’s not bad!
Ding !
[The host , Ophiuchus sent messages for you to open his surprise box]
"He sent something?."
[Yes.]
"Inventory" Akhtar smiled ear to ear like crazy mob, "Interesting. Save for the later use."
[Saving into inventory.]
Seeing that system always obey him without comolaint. When he was standing there, Akhtar really wanted to ask, are you a humanoid or a beast??
Ding!
[The host has question want to ask?.]
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay ..."
For a few month, he was with this system. Its already for sure, this is really not a human thing ...
