Can a game be a dream come true? Jorah has found a world where he can be Megan Proxy, exploring his own gender identity even while exploring a cyberpunk world that is more than it seems. Something in the world isn't working quite right, but is that a product of the game, or of the fact that the game is using his brain as a mainframe for its processing? Will he be able to enjoy living as a woman, or will he be too busy trying to avoid getting killed for the things that he finds while he takes on the role of Megan? Will the secrets that she uncovers be enough to keep her alive, or will he have to process the loss of his female self so soon after finding a way to finally indulge her?

Playing by Proxy

She didn’t feel a need to run out and get into trouble. She could just go about her day, establishing herself and learning the area. That was her main goal. She wanted to get to know the people who lived around her tube. She wanted to get to know the businesses, the people on the street, the gangs, and just the personality of the area.


She’d been walking randomly around the area for what felt like hours, scanning everyone and everything she came across. She started identifying tags, even gaining a skill called Streetwise. It was technically a sub-skill of Research that opened up after she reached level five in that. Seemed like the skills that only had five levels opened up new skills when they were fully leveled. She wondered if the other skills did that as well, or if there was a point where she wouldn’t be able to improve beyond that point.
