"...mine?"

The bubble capsule returned to my hand again, breaking me from my stupor, the blue screen in my eyes faded & I freaked out looking for my pet cat in a panic!

RIKI!! 

I called out, standing in place with my head-turning on a swivel!

After a few moments of silence...

Meow!

I heard its sound call out, I spin in place looking for signs of her, only to come up empty-handed!

Meow!

I hear the sound of catcalls again but I can't find a trace of Riki around the apartment at all!

Feeling like I'm going crazy, I stopped being frantic, I hear her, so she's alive.

Think, when, where & why did she disappear?

It was when...

I slowly glance down towards the object in my hand!

I shake my head in denial, thinking there is no way, right?-!

I slowly Lift the Capsule Ball in my hands to eye level.

I gazed at each of the 6 bubble windows on the ball separately!

Coming up empty until I'm at the last bubbly Gacha window on The ball!

I focused my eyes only to see a small furry shadow in this last to be checked gotcha bubble window!

My pet cat Riki was there inside the Gacha Capsule Ball!

 Riki was prancing about in the capsule ball without a care in the world;

while I was worried sick about it's staying in there forever or starving to death before that!

I was entrusted to care for Riki by my grandfather to raise it from now on before he died!

Since I awoke in this body, I sometimes have certain feelings I can't suppress, like the feels for this little fur-ball even if I wanted to deny them!

-as this body's predecessor's mind synapses still contain some lingering dying will being ingrained within me, becoming a part of me; much like his memories, talents & admiration for his cheap grandpa!

As long as it doesn't radically change me I can accept some emotional baggage for the price of living again!

Now one of these emotional pieces of baggage is trapped in this subspace world or something;

Worried I subconsciously Will for Riki to come out, like a silent prayer in my mind & to my surprise it really did work!

The surrounding air displaced slightly with brief white light & a small black feline replaced it afterward, "Riki!"

I picked her up in fear she would disappear immediately again.

The body is uninjured & the disposition is the same as ever!

She seems fine like nothing happened to her at all.

Pfft,  haha Ha, ha

I was at a loss for words & could only laugh at the absurdity of my situation!

I've figured out what this was now!

It's mine from the start, this weird-ass ball crossed over with me, & is not some random D.C artifact that stuck to me from the alleyway dumpster like gum on a shoe as I thought before!

It was my blessing, or my golden finger, my cheat, the gift package commonly transmitted to travelers in anime, manga, or novels to strive, to prevail in a new world setting, and this-

* Gawks at the Gacha Capsule Ball looking thing wryly.*

Was mine...?

Others get a super-powered constitution, magic elemental abilities, different forms of energy manipulation or anime Godly eyes power type abilities like the "Sharingan", "Geass", " Shinigami Eye", "Rinnegan", hell even the low level "Emperor Eye" can easily make anyone a sports genius or something"!

What do I get?

I got one of those gotcha capsule balls famous in those Japan arcade game centers, that now acts as a weirdly designed PokèBall!-?

What will I do with this, huh?-!

Other than it making it easier to go traveling with pets like Riki, it's fucking useless, G-damn it!

I throw it out the open window in frustration, only for seconds later; I feel a familiar cold spherical item in my opened palm...

 I look down at the gotcha ball capsule in my hand that had just returned AGAIN!

My mouth twitched & I'm struggling to keep my cool, as I'm about to explode!

But...

I just sigh to myself then fall on the couch, deflated...

Well, what was I even expecting anyway?

To join the various ongoing adventures in D.C.?

To go thrill riding with superpowers around the world?

To be a Hero? Fight crime, hit on some heroines, or possibly flirt with a few sexy but villainous ladies maybe? 

Just be satisfied with your 2nd life, Vince!

 I guess it's back to real new-life problems, this thing is not going anywhere anyway.

 I thought to myself as I threw the gacha ball lazily out the window and watched it appear beside me, I continue to treat it as an ugly Yoyo as I ponder...

So, first things first, this school drama needs to be dealt with asap!

The rumor mill needs to be snuffed out, I don't want any attention like that or at all during this sensitive transition time for me!

Getting acquainted with this world is another priority, find to the best of my knowledge, how much I know about those D.C universes can compare to the actual reality here!

Also, I should check the Metropolis museum for...hmm wait a second?

Hmm, I seem to be forgetting something...

Oh, yeah! The blue screen!

 SHIT, how could I be so scatterbrained?!

 Is this also an inherited feature from my predecessor? I don't like that at all if it is!

 I got easily distracted from the blue screen when the ball came back to my hand, & I was worried about the pet cat Riki's safety;

 I didn't even read it clearly after only reading the title name of this thing in my hand!

I Held up the gotcha ball to the air...

What was this thing called, ah it's called: "Monster Capsule Ball"!

Is my fur-ball Riki consider a monster before or one from now on after I caught it with this thing?

Huh, wait, "Monster Capsule Ball" sounds kinda familiar to me...

I kneaded my head thinking hard, then Called out status!

It really works, unlike before, maybe catching something (my cat) was the requirement of activation?

 I read the content from the blue screen.

A minute later...

I sit up immediately & open my eyes wider & not blinking in fear that this status information will be gone if I do so!

This name, these skills I've seen them, no I also read something similar to them before in my past!

What was it?...

Ah! 

That's right, a manga & Japanese light novel I had casually read previously!

 It's from Isekai Monster Breeder!
