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?

Manager To-Soren didn't make Megan wait for even a minute. As soon as Megan showed up, the secretary ushered her inside, where To-Soren waited at her desk, a smile on her face. “Progress already?” she asks.


Megan smiled at her. “More than progress,” she said. “I think I have our mole.”


“Excellent!” To-Soren said. “Tell me what you found.”
