The Effect Of The Golden Ticket!

Several days had passed since me and my friends defeated that Dire Wolf Champion we never expected that our first day playing the game we would come face to face with a extra monster which are said to randomly appear throughout the game at random times it was four levels higher than us making it pretty tough almost all our skills and spells did barely any damage that was until I unlocked Voltage it one shot the dire wolf. We never expected to all obtained a golden ticket for defeating the wolf some of us we skeptical given that the golden ticket was blank just simply brushed it off as a design choice we used the ticket despite our suspicions but even after using the ticket nothing had we were informed that we had to give it time for the golden ticket effect to be applied so we just turned in the quest and logged out for the day.

"That day I was crazy lucky" I muttered "I still can't believe all that happened in just a few hours"

In the days that followed that craziness everything was turned upside down as we all discovered that all our golden tickets had the same effect which was unheard of we theorised that since we're in a party a defeated the dire wolf which dropped the golden ticket which was normally meant for one person somehow was sent to five players storage boxes we really shouldn't of formed a party until much later in the game cause it has cause a lot of problems for us it not only gave us way less experience points but gave us all the same exact items from monsters we defeated. The effect the golden ticket had wasn't discovered until the day after we used it that morning I remember looking into the mirror and being completely shocked at what I saw in the mirror and from what I heard from my friends they had a similar reaction to the effect of the golden ticket as well unlike me my my friends weren't all too happy about the effect of the golden ticket.

"Who would of guessed that the ticket we got was a gender switch ticket cause I know I didn't" I muttered "it turned our lives upside down instantly"

Sure turning into a girl was a shock to my systems at first as I hadn't expected to be turned into a girl at all nor did any of my friends it took some adjusting at first given that I've spent eighteen years as a guy do turning into a girl was a whole new learning process for me luckily I had some help in that department in the form of my cousin she helped me learn which is how I've adjusted to being a girl rather fast. My friends on the other hand weren't having a easy time of it given that their moms were the ones teaching them from scratch about being a girl which I kind of pity them for as it can't be easy and from what I've heard their family lives have become a nightmare as their fathers have rejected them straight out which isn't only hard but tough for them.

"This body of mine is definitely something else" I said looking into a mirror "sure I'm no longer impotent but in stead I'm fertile Rose sure was persistent on finding out if I was capable of getting pregnant which I am"

I was diagnosed when I was fifteen with impotent that no guy wants to be told he has it devastated for over a month as it crushed my hopes and dreams of starting a family with the girl I had a crush on I had to give up on starting a family altogether instead I focused my attention on my studies which I'm not good at and video games to escape reality. Luckily at the time my mom was still alive to reassure me that everything would be fine, my cousin to distracted me from girls altogether by playing video games which worked a bit and my my friends who actually succeeded in distracting me by being the same without them I would of definitely feel into depression which I'm thankful for.

"Turning into a girl turned out to be a blessing in disguise" I muttered "especially since I turned out like this"

Sure enough I've shrunk by a few inches I'm now a good 4'8 which is average height for girls my age with a hourglass figure which is definitely better than before I have G cup breast which to honest I was shocked to find out I was that big, I have white skin skin with a excellent complexion, I have long brown hair that falls to my waist and brown eyes I still don't know how my hair grew this long in one night, no matter how I look at the myself I'm still going to be considered gorgeous when I return to school.

It goes without saying guys are attracted to girls for various reasons but the most common reasons is their beauty which can automatically draw attention of guys without my effort especially the girls that are beautiful or even gorgeous it's because of this reason that some girls act all high and mighty all the time and look down of girls that aren't as beautiful as they are. Guys on the other hand are rarely that high and mighty but I'm not going to say there isn't any guys like that out in the world which there might be I haven't seen any like that all my friends and classmates aren't high and mighty they are just down to earth type of guys.

"Oh shit" I cursed "I'm supposed to meet up with my friends today"

I was wearing a bikini mainly cause my cousin wanted to see what I looked like in one honestly she can be a real pain when she wants something as she never lets up which is why I agreed to wear the bikini I instantly put some casual clothes onto of my bikini I made sure to check myself in the mirror twice before heading downstairs and leaving the house. I mentioned this before I live in the capital city of the country Hale it's one of the major countries in the world it's not poor by any means in fact it's rather wealthy the country has a deep rooted history with gaming as it's here where the company Soul Software was founded in those years ago and is still located and it's here that the founder and the current CEO made their announcement to the world of gaming.

"The meeting spot is just up ahead in the plaza" I muttered as I hurried to the plaza "

The capital city isn't all that big but it does have several districts, the first is the residential district where residents like myself live, then there's the entertainment district where you find places like arcades and even sports fields, of course there's the central district where government buildings and even hot springs are located in fact that's where both the Soul Software company and the central plaza are located. The educational district is where everything educational related is located, the red light district is where you find places of pleasure and naughtiness, the shopping district is where everyone does there shopping and the royal district is where those from noble and royal families live which is off limits to those of common birth, the seven districts together make up the capital city

"I made" I muttered as I arrived at the central plaza "I wonder if the others are here yet"

"Excuse me? I know this is out of the blue" spoke a blue haired girl that was sitting on the nearest bench to me "but are you Ryder by chance?"

"Indeed I am" I answered "Ryder Stone is the name and who might you be?"

"That's great" the blue hair girl sighed a breath of relief "Mathew Franks. I look nothing like my former self do I?"

Mathew had definitely done a one eighty from his former self he had obviously shrunk to what I can only guess to around 4'6-4'8 or so with a slender build which is the complete opposite of his former physic something I bet he isn't too happy about, he now has a huge chest I have no idea how big they are but they are certainly smaller than mine that's obvious to anyone, he has white skin with a excellent complexion which isn't that much of a improvement from his former self, he has short blue hair that falls to his shoulders and sapphire blue eyes he had because a beautiful girl, his former self is completely gone.

"You absolutely look nothing like your former self" I answered "I didn't even know it was you until you introduced yourself"

"You are hardly one to talk" said Mathew "there's nothing of your previous self remaining at all"

I could only laugh at her comment as it was completely true there's absolutely nothing left of the old me I've done a complete one eighty from my former self who was just a guy living day by day without any real goal to aim for one possibly could say I had become a machine that just continued the regular routine. With this change not only did my impotent go away but my confidence had returned which even my cousin pointed out it was clear to anyone around me that I didn't care that I had become a girl in fact I accepted the change as it gave me a new lease on life.

"Where is everyone?" I asked "weren't we supposed to meet here?"

"About that" answered Mathew "the meeting point was changed to the beach due to Max's request and since I'm not good with the heat I stayed here to inform you when you arrived"

"Seriously? Max can never keep to one place" I complained "it's a major flaw of his"

"That it is" said Mathew "it's a huge pain in the ass sometimes"

"Shall we go and see if we can find them?" Asked "it's pretty much pointless to just stay here when they were the ones that planned this meet up"

"Sure" answered Mathew as she got up from the bench "honestly I just want to wrap this up and go home"

From what Mathew or should I say Matty told me the others are still within the central plaza for several reasons the first is we planned to meet up here, the second there several interesting things happening today which caught their attention and finally there's the beach nearby that just reopened I can't really complain as they stayed within the central plaza. I do remember my cousin saying that there was going a music festival in the central plaza some famous artist was going to perform here which I will bet any money that is where Frank is as he loves music with a passion it does make him rather predictable at times cause we are able to locate him easily most of the times.

"He's major flaw is being predictable" I muttered "which just shows people how easy you are to be read"

"True" said Matty "it's a flaw I've pointed out to him countless times already "

"Matty!" Shouted a Red haired girl "over here!"

"Speak of the devil" sighed Matty "she's really predictable"

"Did Ryder arrive yet?" Asked the red haired girl who I'm sure is Frank "if not just text the idiot"

"Well excuse me if I'm a idiot" I answered "you don't need to text as I'm standing right here"

"If you were already here then say so" said Frank "you sure like to make people wait"

The once famous school athlete was no more he had definitely undergone a one eighty transformation from his former self as the ace of the boys football team he had obviously shrunk to what I can only guess to around 4'6-4'8 give or take a few inches with a slender build which is the complete opposite of his former physic something I know he's furious about as he worked hard to achieve a body like he did, he now has a huge chest I have no idea how big they are but they are definitely smaller than mine that's obvious to anyone, he has white skin with a excellent complexion which isn't that much of a improvement from his former self, he has long crimson hair that falls to his waist it's currently tied up into a pony tail and brown eyes, he had because a beautiful girl, his former self is completely gone.

"Excuse me? You the ones that suddenly changed the meeting place without telling me" I spoke "sure I arrived late but I would not of bothered searching for if it weren't for Matty here"

"…." Matty stayed silent "….."

"Excuse" said Frank as she pointed at me "you won't get anywhere in life making excuses like that"

Such attitude from one of my only friends that I actually have but I shouldn't really be surprised this is just who Zane is I mentioned this before but he's actually a bully by nature but honestly he never use to be like this he had once been kind and caring but that changed when he started hanging out with a rough crowd of guys that's always seen hanging about in the slums which was right after we started high school. I truly miss the old Zane but what can you do when your friend becomes like this…honestly nothing other than let him dig his hole which will one day collapse on him but right now I just usually keep my distance as I don't want others thinking I'm a bully as well.

"…." I remained silent "…."

"Real people accept their flaws without complaints" rambled Zane "that's just how amazing real people are"

"…." I just remained silent but I was starting to get angry "…."

"Why don't we go find the others you shitheads?" Asked Matty "it's better than standing around here hear you ramble about how pointless you life is"

I mentioned this before Matty is a jerk just because the she speaks and not because she's actually a jerk she just doesn't realise she's hurting people's feelings without it being pointed out which she immediately apologises for her way of speaking is mainly caused by being influenced by her childhood friends who were all delinquents which how her manner of speaking came about she literally doesn't have a filter that prevents her from saying whatever comes to mind. Honestly she way better than Zane who tends to belittle her as much as myself we are kind of tired of his attitude but we aren't foolish enough to get on his bad side cause being his enemy is even worse than being his friend which is why Matty and I usually stick together she's my best friend after all.

"Sure" answered Zane "I can explain to you both how to be a real person"

"…where did the others go again?" Asked quietly that Zane couldn't hear "you said they were still in the central plaza right?"

"That's right" answered Matty quietly "Max is at the beach while Jamie was checking the stalls out"

As we searched for Jamie throughout the stalls that we were open we had to listen to Zane ramble on about a real person which honestly it was starting to piss me off as she has the guts to say stuff like that after all the stuff she's pull? She's anything but a real person as she never accepts her own flaw being so predictable or the fact she's a bully that gets pleasure out of watching others suffer which is the complete opposite of a real person it's the kind of things that a cowardly and delusional person would do which exactly what she is.

"You finally decided to show up eh?" Spoke a blond girl as she walked towards "I was thinking you stood us all up"

"Ryder is a real asshole for sure" spoke Zane "it's annoying how we got to wait for Ryder don't you agree Jamie?"

"Honestly I do" answered Jamie "waiting for you Ryder is so annoying"

Jamie had undergone a one eighty transformation like the rest of my friends he had shrunk to around 4'6-4'8 which I'm sure he hates he always boasted about his height whenever he could, he has a slender build which I know would of devastated as he worked hard to tone those muscles, he now has a huge chest I have no idea how big they are but they are certainly smaller than mine that's obvious to anyone. He has white skin with a excellent complexion which isn't that much of a improvement from his former self, he has short blonde hair that falls to his shoulders that's currently tied into twin tails and emerald green eyes he had because a beautiful girl, his former self is completely gone.

Jamie the once badass street brawler that is infamous throughout the city for beating up thugs left and right who people labelled the wild dog of the capital city for doing the law enforcements job for them which of course embarrassed them who had been arrested several times for her brawls was a celebrity within the capital city but honestly she's not hero or knight for justice she just a battle thirsty beast that's what she is. However that beast is no more he was now replaced by a fragile she who doesn't even realise that she isn't what she used to be to be and her once badass reputation is already shattered to pieces since no one is afraid of her anymore cause with her transformation came with a loss of strength which Jamie had worked hard over the years to build was now gone.

"….." I just remained silent "…."

"Can't say anything can you?" Laughed Zane "this is what happens to small insignificant people like you"

"…." I just took his insults "….."

"That's enough" spat Jamie "let's look for Max"

I always knew that Jamie looked down on me for being inferior to him which always confused as I believed we were friends no wonder he always seemed annoyed whenever I showed up late or when I try to correct him on something he just get pissed which made he look like he was about to lunge at me which usually was very frightening. He only started to act this way once he entered high school before then he was your friendly friend that always hanged out with you, heard your problems and protected from bullies but nowadays that guy is gone and I doubt he will ever return.

"Matty you shouldn't be all buddy-buddy with Ryder" spoke Zane "or his annoying flaw will rub off on you"

"…." I remained silent "…."

"Not being annoying is how one survives in this world" said Jamie "being annoying is a one way ticket to being targeted"

"….." again I stayed silent "….."

Both me and Matty stayed silent as we followed and listened to both Zane and Jamie insult me constantly which definitely hurt it continued for a good twenty minutes before we arrived at the beach once there I knew it was going to take some time to find max. Again we continued following them mainly cause I don't know what Max looked like anymore since he became a girl again it was insult after insult which I could barely take but unfortunately making an enemy of either Zane or Jamie was a regret that I'm not willing to risk that is for sure.

"Took you guys long enough" said a blond haired girl "Ryder decided to show up."

Max had undergone a one eighty transformation like the rest of my friends he had shrunk to around 4'6-4'8 which I'm sure he's pretty annoyed by as he always boasted about his height whenever he could, he has a slender build which I know would of devastated as he worked hard to tone those muscles plus the lack of stamina he had built up over the years would of devastated him, he now has a huge chest I have no idea how big they are but they are certainly smaller than mine that's obvious to anyone. He has white skin with a excellent complexion which isn't that much of a improvement from his former self, he has long blonde hair that falls to the middle of his back and violet eyes he had because a beautiful girl, his former self is completely gone.

"He was late as usual which pisses me off" spoke Zane "making us wait what a attitude"

"..." I remained silent "…."

"Ryder is just a punching bag after all isn't that right Jamie?" Asked Max "it's some much fun after all"

"You right about that" answered Jamie otherwise we wouldn't of kept him around with for this long"

"…." I stay silent "..."

"..." Matty didn't bother speaking and engaging their anger towards her instead "….."

All this time it had all been a lie our friendship that is I had believed they kept me around cause we were friends, we hanged out, laughed and even played video games but now I know that it was only lie they never thought of me as a friend but just some punching bag they could bully without having to look for someone to bully I was their biggest bully target which now makes everything connect everyone always looked at me with pity in their eyes which I didn't why at the time but do now it's cause they know I was being bullied.

"Oi! Who did you just call a punching bag?" Asked a familiar voice "you better take that back!"

"….." I was stunned silent by who the familiar voice belonged to "….."

George Grace my childhood friend he practically grew up together as our mothers were best friends despite him being two years older than me from what I heard he had recently graduated law enforcement academy becoming a full fledged law enforcement officer which is kind of ironic given that he was the biggest and badass street brawl in the city and not only that he was considered a saviour to the civilians of the capital city that he famous throughout the capital city itself and hailed as a hero for defeating thugs but all the trouble makers in the city this was all while he was still a student at Tech High it makes you wonder what he will do now that he's actually a law enforcement officer.

He's a tall man probably around 5'12 or even taller I'm guessing he's average height for guys his age he has a muscle build the type you see professional fighters have, he has white skin with a great complexion, he has short brown hair that falls to his shoulders that's currently brushed back and brown eyes, he's definitely the handsome type of guy.

"G-George?" Stuttered Jamie "W-when did you get back?"

"A week ago Jamie the brawler" answered George "I'm now apart of the capital city law enforcement"

"W-why are you here?" Stuttered Zan "S-shouldn't you be working then?"

"I'm on patrol of beach Zane the thug" answered George "law enforcement officers patrol the beach from time to time"

"….Y-You heard us wrong" stuttered Max "W-we were only joking is all"

"Oh is that right? Max the insecure butcher" said Jamie "that's not going to fly with me or my pals here do you three will be coming with me"

Both Matty and myself got to witness Jamie and our other two friends get forcibly dragged away by the law enforcement we were shocked by a did thank George for standing up for me before he had to leave with his colleagues to deal with the three troublesome people that were just removed. We both chuckled as neither of us seen this out come coming if this had happened while we were still guys we both we would of just returned home but since we are girls we decided to spend the rest of the day on the beach enjoying ourselves we both were wearing a bikinis under our clothes so it's no hassle for us at least.

"It feels rather odd to be at the beach like this" muttered Matty "usually I'd just go home instead of being here like this"

"I know that feeling" I said "it just feels awkward being here when I was a guy"

When we were still guys we wouldn't of come here normally not on our own that is as we were pretty much social outcasts or at least that's what Jamie and our other friends kept calling us but honestly we were only socially awkward I because I lost my mother only two years ago even then I was already withdrawn from everyone as I was literally devastated due to learning of my impotent while Matty's case was a bit different to mine his manner of speaking had been influenced by his childhood friend something he was rather embarrassed about and the fact that his parents were way too strict with him had left him pretty much socially isolated from others.

"Hello hot stuff" spoke a guy "come here often"

"…." I stayed silent out of shock "…."

"Hey cutie" spoke another guy "want to hang out?

"It would seem we are being hit on" whispered Matty "how are we going to handle it?"

That was a good question how am I going to handle this situation? Honestly I'm not really sure how to answer that question as this is the the first time that I'm experiencing being hit on as a girl in fact I've never bit as guy before which is understandable as I wasn't really that desired of a guy to begin with but nevertheless I've somehow got handle this situation it will be a good learning experience for sure it will help me when I get hit on again in the future. If my cousin was here right now she would of just gone with these guys as she's that type of girl but unfortunately I'm not her and besides I'm a former guy so of course I'm not going to allow them to have their fun which I already what it is but I've got to dismiss them while not offending them too badly.

"I'm not really the type to come here often" I said "but I boyfriend who works for the law enforcement wanted to come here today on his day off"

"That's a shame" said the guy as he left with his "we could of had some fun"

"That was a brilliant idea to shoot them down" said Matty "oddly enough the other guy instantly thought I was taken as well"

"At least we got them off our backs" I said "it would be smarter not to gain unwanted attention"

Both Matty and myself spent another couple of hours and the beach before we got dressed and bid each other farewell for the day as we both lived in different residential areas from each other there are several different ways to get to the residential district it only takes me several minutes to reach my house from the central district. Once home I can sigh a breath of relief as there aren't anymore guys trying to hit on me I had to shoot down several guys already with the same excuse I used on the first guy which I'm lucky George or my cousin weren't about cause they would definitely question me about this boyfriend of mine that doesn't exist.

"Life sure is going to be interesting from now on" I muttered as I head upstairs "much more excitement than ever before"

Once in my room I started getting ready for bed as I was feeling exhausted already I had already eaten earlier today before I met up with Matty in the central plaza, once I was ready I simply jumped into bed it doesn't take me long to drift off to sleep.
