Fun Game?

...His friend was a huge fan of a visual novel called Higurashi, so late one evening he downloaded the game and decided to try it out himself. He was a little squeamish, so he started reading cautiously, since his friend was always talking about how it was so gruesome and disturbing. He came across a few creepy moments, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as he thought. What he wasn't expecting, though, was how much he loved playing the slice-of-life parts of the game and hanging out with the cast of cute girls. He quickly got attached to them. It was so enjoyable that he easily saw himself falling in love with the game.

He’d only gotten through part of the first chapter, when on a whim, he decided to change it up. He had the new gaming technology—the one that puts you inside of the game. He thought that he might as well start again and get the best first-time experience. With a quick zap, he was in.

He felt… different? He looked down, and he could tell that he’d become one of the girls. Damn, he thought, he should have double checked to make sure that he would be the guy. Something else was off… He realized that there was no way for him to leave. Oh well, he thought. It was just a game. He would have to see it through to the end.

He didn’t immediately recognize the character… apparently this was Shion? He hadn’t met her in the story yet. He had no idea what she did, or what he would have to do to make progress. He remembered some art that his friend had shown him—did she use a knife? He felt it on his female body, pulling it out without thinking and holding it in his new hands. He hoped that nothing too terrible would happen to Shion, and he really didn’t want to have to kill anybody for the sake of the story…

He brushed off those scary thoughts. He felt himself smiling with her face. He was excited to see how good the game was going to be!
