Playing by Proxy

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 is created by Joe Weinberg, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 15: Bloody Run and Gun

What was the better strategy? Should they charge one of the groups? Should they try to take out the level 10, even though there were two of them, or should they try to take out the boss and hope that the other two surrendered? Maybe they should try to talk their way out of it? Or would panic be a better, more viable, option?

“Concentrate fire!” Aijin said, firing at the two lower-level dissidents.

Megan thought talking would be better, and wasn’t entirely above the panic option, but she followed Aijin’s lead, as she’d said she would. She took careful aim, grimacing when another shot slammed into her, doing another 38 damage, and fired a burst shot at the same one that Aijin was shooting at.

It wasn’t long before the two of them were ready to deal with the boss.

“How damaged are you?” Aijin asked, looking at her. She glanced over her head and nodded. “Okay, you’re still above half. Keep using those healing nanos.”
