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 26: A Trap, a Promise, and a Joint Lie

When she left the office and started heading back to her own workstation, Megan saw that she had several notifications.

RESULT: Manager Kia To-Soren seems to believe you. You gain 1,000 XP.

QUEST COMPLETE: Playing both sides. Reward: 10,000 XP, Faction Influence: Codex Biomedical 1/10.

She was only about a third of the way to the next level. Progression had drastically slowed down, and experience points didn’t go nearly as far as she had hoped they would. Even if she completed her three outstanding quests, which would give her about 40,000 XP, she’d still be ten thousand or so short of level twelve.

If she was going to level up, she needed to find better and faster ways to do it.

She was hoping to complete the Nest Egg quest with the payment from To-Soren, but that didn’t seem likely anymore. It was a trap trying to get it. At least, potentially.
