Sword Art Online II: Sheik's Story

World of Guns

~~~

In a matter of minutes, I load into Gun Gale Online. After having a look around, I noticed a large amount of male players, and look down at my hands.

Huh...? Was the ground always that low? I start to wonder what I actually looked like, and turned around to find a wall of mirror. I'm guessing it's there to show new players what they look. And I gotta say... I wasn't happy with my look.

"Holy...SHIT!!!" I freak out. APPARENTLY! The GGO avatar I lucked out on was a tall, lean male with white hair, similar to how I look normally. Except my hair was a tad bit longer than it is in real life, reaching down to my shoulders now. And I was wearing a pretty basic white long sleeve shirt and black pants. I had kept my girlish face, but this isn't exactly the Sheik image. "Sheik isn't supposed to be tall! He's small! Stealthy! Fast! Nimble! Adorable!" I shout and feel my new body. "Ugh...this isn't going too well already..." I sigh as some random person comes up from behind me.

"Holy crap, hot stuff! That's an F69420 model! That's super rare!" He says. "Sell to me! I'll pay you 300 for it! Thousand, of course!"

"Do you even have that kind of money...?!" I groan. "Also, I'm a dude, not a girl. Also also, it's not for sale." I say.

"WHAT?! Then you got an M69420 model!! Even rarer!! Okay, then I'll 5- No! 600 thousand for you account!"

"Like I said, my account isn't for sale. It's converted." I say and walk past him.

Well, at least I'm still passable as a Trap. Even if I'm tall. Wait, then am I just a crossdresser at this point? Since most Traps are short? A femboy? Eh, whatever. Not that it matters. It's not like Traps can't be 6 feet tall or anything. Right?

After walking around for a bit, I couldn't exactly make heads or tails of this massive town, so I had decided to talk to the next person I see. And if they just so happen to be a sleazy guy, then I can go along with it to get info out of him. It's not like my body is real right now. But thankfully it didn't have to come to that, as the next person I spotted was actually a woman. A tall woman in a black latex body suit and tattoos on her cheeks, black hair done up in a ponytail.

"Excuse me!" I call out to her, and she turns.

"Hm? What's up?" She asked. "Oh, wait, I know, don't tell me. You're new here right?"

"Y-Yeah, I am... And I'm trying to find a good place to get a weapon. Oh! And I'm also trying to get to the governor's office." I say.

"Knew it! I haven't seen your face around before, so I figured that was the case. And if you're looking for weapons, I know a person who can help us out. She's great at picking stuff out." The tall (but still shorter than me) lady says.

"Thank you very much. Oh, I'm Sheik by the way." I say with a bow.

"Pitohui. But just Pito is fine." She introduces herself. "Sheik... That name is familiar. Where have I heard it?" She says and puts on a thinking face as she leads me around town. "Ah, I know!" She says and leans in close to my eye. "Death by Twilight, right...?" She whispers.

"Y-You know about me...?!" I asked, alarmed.

"Sure have. In fact, you saved me once. Back in you-know-where." She says.

"No way... You an—?"

"Shh! My pal is coming, and she flips when she hears those three letters in that order." Pito shuts me up and waves in the distance. "Asu-Chan!" She calls.

"What?" I asked.

"Hm? Wait, does your real name start with Asu too?" Pito asked.

"It does. And a friend of mine also calls me Asu-Chan." I say.
