When I open my eyes, I realize I'm no longer in my house but in a forest. I'm confused at first, but after a few seconds of thinking, everything makes sense. I've been isekai'd by that circle.
Me: "Wow… That means I'm gonna live an adventure, become OP, and get a harem."
But after a second of reflection, I stop celebrating and shout: "Ren! He was under the circle too—where is he?!"
Suddenly a voice says: "Stop shouting, slave. Don't worry, your emperor is here."
I look toward the voice and see a completely naked man. He has messy white hair, white cat ears, and a white cat tail.
Me, stunned: "Who are you, and why are you naked?"
Man: "What a lack of respect, not recognizing your king. I am Ren, also known as perfection incarnate."
I scream in surprise. After recovering from the shock, I recap what happened.
Me: "So, let's sum it up. A magic circle appeared under our feet, and because of it we got isekai'd and ended up here. You got a humanoid form with some feline traits. But why are you naked?!"
Ren: "Are you stupid or pretending? I remind you that when the circle appeared, I wasn't wearing clothes—just fur."
Me: "Ah yeah, you're right. But you don't have to disrespect me. I'm your owner."
Ren laughs and says arrogantly: "Correction—you're my slave."
After a few minutes of arguing, we calm down and Ren makes clothes out of leaves.
Me: "I've read enough isekai to know an interface is supposed to appear and show our abilities."
I try to make the interface appear in every way possible, but nothing works. Ren starts mocking me.
Annoyed, I say: "Well then, Mr. Perfection Incarnate, do better."
Ren gives me a smug smile, raises his hand, and taps the air with his index finger.
After that gesture, a hologram appears.
Ren: "This is how you do it, human."
Grinding my teeth, I copy his gesture. My own hologram appears.

Me, angry: "Why are my stats and ability so trash?! I was supposed to be OP and have multiple abilities! Why do I only get one—and I can only use it for 2 minutes?!"
While I complain, Ren laughs. In anger I say: "Shut up. I bet your ability is even worse."
Ren laughs again: "I am an emperor. An emperor would never have a weak ability."

Me: "Why are you stronger than me?! You're just a cat."
Ren sighs: "Not a simple cat, obviously. I'm the most perfect cat in the world. I am a feline emperor."
Annoyed, I decide to ignore him. I mutter: "Even here, I'm being dominated by my cat…"
Suddenly I see multiple shadows in the trees. The moment I notice them, one of the shadows shoots an arrow at us. Me and Ren—
Then everything goes black.
When I open my eyes, I'm in front of a throne. On it sits an elf woman. Ren and I are chained up, and elf soldiers glare at us coldly. Ren takes the lead and asks:
"Why did you kidnap us, inferior beings?"
A guard gets angry and is about to hit Ren, but the woman stops him and says:
"You are in our territory, and the brown-haired boy is wearing strange clothes."
Ren: "Oh, sorry for trespassing on your territory. The problem is that we're new here, which explains why my slave is wearing those foreign clothes."
The woman stares at us for a moment before ordering our release.
After being freed from the chains, I whisper to Ren:
"You really have a way with words."
Ren smirks and whispers: "Say thank you, slave."
Me: "Shut up, and I'm not your slave."
As we prepare to leave, the woman stops us and says:
"I know this is hypocritical, but could you help us find my missing daughter?"
Before I can say anything, Ren says:
"And what do we get in return?"
The woman answers:
"My name is Elena, and I am the queen of this elf tribe. If you find my daughter, you will receive my eternal gratitude."
Ren yawns: "That's it? No thanks."
An irritated guard says: "You arrogant brat. You should be honored to receive the queen's recognition."
Me: "Ren, we should accept. I don't want to make enemies in this new world right away."
Ren shakes his head: "No, I don't care about your recognition. All I want is food or money. Pick one."
The guard starts getting angry, but the queen sighs and says: "Fine. If you find my daughter, I will pay you 100 gold coins."
Ren smiles: "Deal."
After the deal, we leave the village. Suddenly the impulsive guard comes toward us and says:
"I don't trust you. So I've decided to accompany you in searching for the princess."
Ren shrugs and I nod.
Me: "But first, what's your name?"
With a cold tone, he answers: "Ragnor."
