Chapter 1: Tom the cat

Chapter 1: Tom the cat

"To infinity, AND BEYOND!" Shouted a live, moving Buzz-lightyear action figure as it landed right onto my face.

"ARGH! STUPID TOY!" I shouted, as I grabbed the toy, and threw it from my bed towards the wall.

"You're stupid, Lucas! We had a mission planned at 0800 to slay the Wither, but you locked the door. It is 1000, you are 2 hours late!." The toy shouted, as it stood up from the floor.

"And how did you get through the lock?" I questioned while I was sleepy.

"I am a trained astronaut, no lock can stop me!"

"So, Tom opened it?" I asked as I got up from the bed.

"Yes." Replied the toy without shame. He must have annoyed Tom to the point the cat could not take it anymore.

"Sigh, let me get up. Ask Tom to make me breakfast."

"Roger." Said Buzz as he ran towards the kitchen as I went to brush my teeth with a slight smile on my face.

It has been about a year and 6 months since the particle accelerator blew up a whole in central city. 

Since that day, I have awakened a (System), which has changed my life for the better.

However this city is a crazy place. Meta-Humans? While I was one of them, I did not behave like they did. I just want to live a normal life.

Even the black-whole in central city 6 months ago was just crazy.

Thank god I had my cat to save me.

As I walked into the living room of my apartment, I saw my cat place breakfast down for me, scrambled eggs with toasted bread.

Tom is a mute, Grayish-Blue and White cat with green eyes and yellow in the whites of the eyes. Tom has a white torso and white hands and feet. The tip of his tail is also white. The rest of his body is gray.

Tom is definitely a very weird being.

He is simultaneously overpowered and weak at the same time.

I mean, the description of him in the system speaks for itself.

[Name: Tom

Summon number 1

Description: A neigh immortal cat which cannot die. Tom is able to do everything in existence, all the way from solving Einstein's equations and playing a 100 man band alone with proficiency in all instruments. However Tom was kicked out by his previous owner and requires a new home to stay in. After conversing with Tom, the system came to an agreement with Tom. As long as the host provides for Tom shelter, food and care, he will be undyingly loyal to you.

Reason for summon: A companion for the host due to his loneliness]

My system is called the [Wish fulfillment system]. Whatever I desire at the time of summoning, is summoned into the world.

I get to summon something bi-annually, and my first ever Summon was evidently Tom.

He has saved my life about 10 times from Meta-Humans who attack everything and anything in the city.

As I began eating the delicious breakfast Tom made, I saw the cat grabbing today's newspaper, while jumping onto the sofa without making any sound.

This cat was the time when my life had truly begun to change.

I never had a good life, in my opinion. 

I came from a well off background, well-off being a massive understatement, but that in itself was a problem. 

However when I left the wealth to live for myself, problems of being an average person hit me.

Money and power was a weird thing. When you don't have it, you would yearn for it, yet when you have it, it is the biggest burden in the world.

After all, everything comes with sacrifices.

Me being born into a well off family, came with the sacrifices of being unable to have a proper childhood.

Me choosing peace of mind over responsibilities came with the problem of living in inhumane conditions.

It took me many years in an entirely new country to be able to fend for myself.

And now, I came to the level where I am able to afford rent for a decent apartment inside of Central City.

I also was able to work multiple jobs here and there which allowed me to splurge on myself and my cat.

My monthly income was around 4,500 dollars, and with rent and everything paid for, I had somewhere around 1000 dollars to spend.

My main problem was that I had to pay nearly 500 dollars for transport if I work too late or have to rush to multiple venues while working.

"LUCAS! Food is for people who finish their missions!." Buzz said to me, as he jumped onto my hair and began to slowly pull on it.

"Buzz, just let me finish eating." I tried explaining to the toy the importance of food to live as a functional human being.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Tom took off the spectacles that had magically appeared onto his eyes and sighed.

He then took a box out from behind him, as he placed it on the sofa.

He then coughed and knocked on the wooden box, which got the attention of Buzz.

I couldn't help it and looked towards Tom, and I got a grin on my face.

"No! Not that accursed box! You wouldn't…" Buzz said, but seeing Tom smiling at him innocently, Buzz got off of my hair and moved into my room mumbling.

"Stupid cat. You trap me inside of that box for the tiniest of reasons every time."

I gave Tom a thumbs up as I continued to eat my breakfast in peace.

This was usually how my days would pass, and I was happy about how lively they were.

Sure, I worked 12 hour days on weekdays but it was all worth it for I had a lively partner who went on 'missions' with me, and a Cat that I could easily say is the softest pillow in the world.

Buzz was someone I honestly didn't expect from the system. The system gave me Tom since I was all alone, living everyday without any purpose.

And Buzz, had something to do with my childhood per say.

[Name: Buzz-lightyear 

Summon number 2

Description: An action figure from the world of Toy-Story, so it is a live toy. Not the same as the one Andy had, but is still a living Toy. He is alright with you knowing he is a living being, but Buzz will actively act just like a toy in front of all other humans.

Reason for summon: A Toy, since the host never got any gifts he had wanted as a child]

My parents had never gotten me a toy I had wanted before, simply because we were above 'peasant' things like that.

Anyways, today was another important day. Since today was the day the system would provide me with my third summon.

[Wish fulfillment system has been activated again]

[Scanning host]

Every single time, the system would activate and scan me. After judging when I require most, it will provide me with a summon that can allow me to cover for me.

Tom for my loneliness.

Buzz for my childhood trauma.

And this third one is for…
