You are an ordinary person living in Japan, you are a kind person who loves animals, you always protected them from bullies, you were a kind person, but life was not kind to you, you were never lucky in love, in friendship, or in work.

You had a wife who left you and divorced you, and your friends usually betrayed you, and you were even more unlucky with work, you did not work anywhere for a long time, in the end you were fired, so all you loved in your world were animals, they were always kind to you, sometimes you even wondered if it would be better to live in the animal world, where there are no problems.

such thoughts were spinning in your head before you fell asleep, without noticing how you fell into a deep sleep, you open your eyes, but the first thing you see is an unfamiliar room, it was huge, you jump up and start wandering around the room, it's strange, you definitely fell asleep in your own home, then what is this place? How did you end up here?

You were walking through a large square, the building was dark and cold, even the air was thick and heavy, there were even cobwebs hanging here and there, it looked like an abandoned building, the silence was broken by the sound of... gunshots, you followed the noise and saw a scene in front of you, people were kneeling on the floor in front of a handsome, strong man, without even approaching him, you felt how strong he was, he stood with a gun in his hand, shooting at those he caught, he asked them questions and if he was not satisfied with the answer, he killed them, you decided to quickly leave before you were noticed, but as soon as you took a step, this man turned and pointed a gun at you, his voice was rough and languid

-who are you and why are you hiding?

You were speechless, you couldn't say a word, a lump was stuck in your throat, all you saw was a gun pointed at you, a second later you felt a blow to the back of your head, your vision went dark, you lost consciousness

you blinked a few times, you opened your eyes, your body was a little heavy, but you were warm and cozy, you were definitely lying on a soft bed, in a huge room, you got out of bed and started wandering around the big house, even managing to get lost in it, you opened another door in search of an exit, entering the room, but the room looked like an office, there was a table in front of you, behind it sat the same man who had previously pointed a gun at you, his appearance was slightly mesmerizing: white marble skin, cat ears sticking out of his hair, eyes of an unreal scarlet color, with thin pupils, like a cat, he looked at you and smiled

-oh, you're already awake, I thought, initially I didn't mean to bring you into my house, but you're a human, right? I'm Bayard Tons, you've probably heard of me, I'm famous all over the world

millions of thoughts flashed through your head, what's going on? is this a human? no, is this a cat? but he's a human, maybe a beastman, is it even possible...what if you ended up in another world or is this a dream, you're confused

while you were thinking, frozen in place, Bayard's pupils narrowed like a cat's, he was still smiling, he got up from his seat, took something from the table in his hands and walked up to you

-how interesting, usually mongrels like you live on the street, but you don't look like a mongrels, maybe you're a purebred human, since you've interested me, I'll make you my pet

Bayard smiled predatorily and put a collar on you

you are speechless, what kind of situation is this? Isn't it animals that get collars? And what does it mean his pet?
