Without any delay I popped out in a new world. Very small one. So small, that I can see where it ends. If such a world was created by game designers , they surely died from starvation on the streets. Seriously, who would pay them for the empty white box. 

I look around to check my situation. Yep , there only me , surrounded by slightly glowing white walls. 

And a pony. Just your casual blue colored pony with a rainbow shining out his ass. More to say , it was a pony with suicidal tendencies. Why I'm so sure about it? Well normal little horsies don't hang on rope under the ceiling. 

I come closer to it , to check if it's still warm. Taking in a fact , that here's just us two with nothing else around, it could be my food in the nearest future. As I thought about it , my hunger awoke like never before. Strange, but whatever. 

Indeed it's already cold...

"Pleeease, five more minutes ~"

...and very much alive. 

"What the fuck?!" as this hanging piece of horse shit given me a scare, I punched it. 

"What are you doing, human. ?"

"And what are YOU doing, animal?"

"Me? I was waiting for you , gringo. I waited and waited, waited and waited... In the end I have fallen asleep "

"What do you need from me?"

"I will tell, but could you stop my swinging first? My head spins"

"Okay, sure. So , what's going on?"

"Where should I begin?.. In simple words I'm in some way is your ability lottery...mexican edition. "

"Pinãta ?"

"Bingo , but don't interrupt me , gringo. Rules are simple, after lights go out , you will be spinned around. Then you'll have to break me open with a stick. The faster you do it, the better ability you will get. All clear ?"

"Yeah, but Houston, we've got a problem "

"What's wrong?"

"We don't have a stick"

"Do you want one ?"

"I NEED one"

"What about a stick between your legs?"

"I'm not into little horses"

"Sorry , lame joke"

"Same here"

"There's no problem here , needed tools will appear automatically in your hands after start. Tell me, when you are ready. "

I take a couple of deep breaths 

"Let's go!"

"Uno, dos, tres, quadro. Start!"

With his command , room is swallowed by darkness. At the same time I feel spinning, like someone put me in a washing machine. It took a few seconds to stop and in my right hand appears a bat. After that , I immediately run in front of me, until I hit a wall. Then I walk along it till I reach a corner. Turning my back to the corner, I again run forward with a baseball bat on the ready to hit a rainbow ass. 

Successful hit ! But it wasn't enough...So strike few more times

"Who hits like that ? Even my grandmother swings harder , you pussy!

Come on ! Do it ! Hit me like a stepdad when he abuses his stepdaughter!"

"If you don't shut up, I will put this stick in some place, where sun never shines "

"Sorry, I tried to cheer you up "

Hit , another one. Then...

"Pony strikes back!!!"

This bastard swinged back at me. I make one more hit with a bat and finally, light comes back to the room. 

"Congratulations! You successfully destroyed harmless unarmed stuffed puppet in 42 seconds. Your result is B "

I look at pony leftovers on the floor and ask

"That's it ?"

"Not entirely, now I need to do my magic. Come closer to my head. Closer. A little bit more. Now lean towards me. Haaa...ptui!"

As this shithead spits on me , I kick his head to the wall. 

"One question- why?"

"That's how it works "he shrugged "Let me look at you. I see , I see... Your ability is called [Neko trait]Pretty good one I should say"

"And what it does?"

"You have nine lives now. You can die eight times, after each one you will regenerate any injuries and come back to life. Ninth is the last one , don't forget"

"That's all ? Seems like nothing much to me"

"No. Now you have better reflexes, slight nightvision. Rodents will be afraid of you. But also there are some downsides- canine type monsters will fucking hate you and sometimes you'll have mood swings. Now, that's all. Welcome to Ishtar. "

Slowly room starts to crumble into light particles. 

"Wait, could tell me about this Ishh...tar ?"

"Nope. Your reincarnation- your problems. Bye!"

The room disappears along with pony. Now I'm truly in a new world
