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

The first thing she did when she logged in was to change her visible information so that it read Megan Proxy, Codex Biomedical Researcher, Level 7. HP 300/300. The last thing she wanted was for her plan to fall apart because she accidentally left the Agent 7 information visible. 


Megan went to her own office when she arrived, but as soon as her ID was scanned, Manager To-Soren summoned her.


The secretary was just as pleasant as last time, even giving her a pitying look when he saw the way she looked. “Please go right in. Can I get you some coffee or something to eat?”


She wanted to refuse, but she needed to sell the story, and she figured that the story wouldn’t have involved a lot of big meals. So she nodded and gave him a weak smile, going into the office as he rushed off to get her something.
