Rick walked into the store and looked around. He was here to get a Cyber Disk. He had wanted one for awhile now but being out of work for nearly a year had put a little crimp in his plans to get one. But he had been able to save some money from his unemployment checks and now he was going to buy one. Maybe he could get a job in the cyber world once he was there. There sure didn't appear to be any jobs for a 37 year old in the real world.
"Can I help you with anything?" a girl asked from behind the counter. Rick was shocked to see that the girl was an anthropomorphic cat and was only about eight years old. The girl sighed and said, "Yes I'm one of those rare people who were changed coming out of the cyber world."
"Sorry for staring," Rick apologized and looked down.
"Don't be sorry," the girl said with a smile. "I know that I look weird in the real world. My name's Michelle by the way. It use to be Michael before this happened."
"Why did you decide to be a little cat girl?" Rick asked curiosity getting the better of him.
"Oh I didn't choose this," Michelle said with a slight frown. "The avatar I had created was a male werewolf. I had found another Cyber Disk while out on a run in wolf form. Needless to say I was very curious as to what avatar it contained. When I found out it contained a cat girl avatar I immediately exited the cyber world. Of course this time out of the hundreds of times I exited the cyber world had to be the one to change me."
"Well that's interesting," Rick said with a smile. "I'm Rick by the way and I'm looking for a Cyber Disk and watch."
"You're in luck Rick," Michelle said hopping down off a stool. "We have one left. Let me get it for you." She opened a cabinet behind the counter and brought out a box which she placed on the counter. She looked at Rick and said, "This contains your watch and Cyber Disk. When you first insert the disk into the watch you'll be taken to the avatar creation room. There you'll be able to create your avatar. Be sure that it's one you can live with should you find yourself transformed here in the real world like me."
"Thanks for the tip," Rick said taking out some money. "How much is it?"
"It's $250," Michelle said ringing it up. As Rick handed the money over she said, "Be careful in the cyber world. It's a dangerous place. There are some relatively safe places. One of them is a battle academy where you learn how to battle. You can make some good money winning battles. Anyway the academy is divided into male and female classes."
"Thanks for the info," Rick said opening the box and putting the watch on. "Maybe I'll see you in the cyber world." He wasn't paying much attention to the watch itself so he didn't see that he had accidentally set it for a day delay.
"Maybe," Michelle agreed as Rick picked up the Cyber Disk and placed it in the watch.
Rick watched in fascination as everything seemed to fade though he knew it was only his body that was fading. He found himself floating in blackness without a body. A character creation menu appeared in front of him with all he would need to create his avatar. Name: Lyla Rose, Sex: Female, Age: 12, Species: Human, Race: Caucasian, Height: 59 inches, Bust: 31 inches, Breast Size: A cup, Waist: 26 inches, Hips: 33 inches, Hair Color: Black, Hair Length: Waist, Eye Color: Green. When he finished the body he selected appeared before him with the option of tweaking it more. He was satisfied with the body so he left it like it was. Next was the clothing options. He picked a pair of white panties with pink waist, a bra with pink hearts, a denim bubble skirt, a yellow solid scoop tab tee, white quarter socks, and white and navy saddle shoes. For accessories he picked pink heart stud earrings and matching necklace. Satisfied with everything he saved his avatar. When he did a list of places he could go to in the cyber world and he picked one. What place did he pick to go to?
