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.

Then her duplicate was back. This time, she was standing casually, wearing all black. The clothing was tight against her skin, outlining her form. She could see bladed weapons strapped to her wrists, her waist, and her hips. Never anywhere that would hamper movement or that would be difficult to access. There were other blades, clearly meant for throwing, strapped over her torso, forming a pattern not entirely unlike a corset of flying death.
