I started my day much like any other person, by getting ready for the day. Okay that’s not entirely true. I would imagine that most people don’t pray at a shrine every morning and then drink a shot of sake the moment that they wake up. But still everything else was a normal morning routine.

I had stayed at my bookstore till near midnight, which left me near dead on my feet when I woke this morning. So, it wasn’t really a surprise when I missed the fact that there was a pure white, eight tailed fox sitting on the couch with a rather miffed expression on its face as I walked out the door and proceeded to lock it behind me.

The walk to the store was strange, even for someone living in japan. I could almost swear that something was watching me. Not to mention I kept seeing something in the corner of my eye. I was walking early in the morning around nine, so I wasn’t really worried about the lack of people. I quickly made my way inside of the store. Glancing at my list I began getting what I needed. I paused as I passed one of the shelf's and backed up slightly.

I could’ve sworn that I had just seen a shrine maiden, yet there was no one there. Shaking my head, I made my way to the cashier and payed for my groceries. Walking back was nerve-wracking, I hadn’t seen a single person on the way back. No one walking down the sidewalks, no cars driving down the street, no dogs were barking, nothing.

The first thing that I noticed when I opened my door was that it was unlocked, now normally this would make sense. You can’t open a door that is locked. But I remembered clearly locking the door when I had left. The second thing I noticed was that there were claw marks on my doorknob.

I slowly opened the door and stuck my head in. opening the door fully I stepped inside. I gave a blank stare at the kitsune that was sitting on my couch before walking past it and into the kitchen and sat my bags down. Opening the fridge I grabbed a bottle of sake and two saucers before closing it with my foot. Entering the living room, I sat the saucers on the coffee table before giving the fox a long stare. Sitting down I poured the fox and me some sake.

“So are you going to tell me why you are here or are you just going to crash on my couch all night.” The fox just smirked before using one of its tails to pickup its sake and take a sip. Once it finished it removed a letter from somewhere and put it on the table.

Reaching down to pick it up my fingers just barely brushed the edge of the paper before a furry appendage grabbed my wrist. Looking up with a startled expression I managed to meet the eyes of the fox before a pair of lips met mine. My eyes widened in shock, I was being kissed by a kitsune. Wait why was it getting dark. The last thing I saw before I fell into darkness was a pleased smirk on the fox’s lips as it pushed a letter onto my chest.

I awoke with a gasp. I knew immediately that something was wrong. How did I know this, I was staring at what was probably the most fucked up and intimidating tree that I had ever seen in my life. The second reason, I had paws, I was in an unknown place, in a new body. I was a nine tailed kitsune, how did I know that, I don’t know, I just did. I had the normal color scheme of a Japanese red fox. I was about the same size as a monster truck.

I felt like I should have been freaking out just a bit more than I was, yet I felt rather calm as I looked around my surroundings. I was in a small clearing, to my right was the letter I had been given and a bag that was quite obviously made to fit my body. To the left was a small trail leading off into the forest. With an amount of grace I hadn’t thought possible for an appendage one of my tails picked the letter up off the ground and I began to read.

Hello Jynx,

If you are reading this then you survived getting punted across the multiverse congratulations. And if you aren’t running around screaming like your ass is on fire, good, that means that the modifications I made to your head worked.

So basic rundown of what happened to you. I chose you to go to another world and give it a swift kick in the ass. I’m sure as you explore you will find out the reason why. You have been turned into a nine tailed fox as I’m sure you’ve already noticed.

You have all of the abilities of a normal kitsune with a few more on the side. Such as the ability to use all forms of magic. Next to this letter there is a bag, in that bag are a few magical items. A sake bottle that never runs out and never breaks. a pair of chopsticks that can turn into a spear. And finally, the last is a book that is linked to your book store so you can read every book in your store from it, also the bag is a bag of holding.

Your god Inari

PS. You’re a god now, deal with it.

I stared at the note with a blank expression on my foxy muzzle for what must have been an hour before slowly using one of my tails to undo the latch on the bag and pulling out that bottle of sake. Looking at my surroundings one last time I strapped my bag to my sides and took a swig of my bottle.

“well then, seems I have work to do.”
