Read a book

Deciding to stick with raising up your Culture skill, you look around your home for a book to read. You used to read all the time, but as your apathy grew, so fell your ability to muster the time for reading. Most of the books you’re finding are ones you’ve already finished, older classics and fantasy series.

You’re almost ready to give up when you spy a book mixed among yours that you don’t remember owning. You pull it out, and see it’s a romance novel. Judging by the shirtless man on the cover, possibly a saucy one. That’s not your usual thing, but you’ve been trying new things lately, so you might as well give the book a chance. After all, you didn’t think you’d enjoy the Hallmark film, did you?

Laying splayed out on your bed, you open the book and immediately solve the mystery of where it came from. In cursive handwriting is the owner’s name, ‘Mandy <3’. She must have set it with your books at some point and failed to retrieve it when she took all her things with her.

Trying not to hold that past against the book, you start reading. The Task only says to Read a book, but not how much, so you were thinking of just reading a chapter or two to start with. That plan goes out the window fairly quickly, as you get completely sucked into the narrative.

It’s about a young woman moving to a new town and finding the job she’d already been hired onto has chosen not to go with her, leaving her near-broke and terrified. The way the author writes the characters, especially the protagonist, feels so real and genuine to you. You follow the main character, Jane, and all her struggles, spending hour after hour getting more invested in her struggles.

She ends up meeting this incredibly handsome guy, probably the one from the cover, and from the description of him you can understand why Jane is attracted to the guy. You mean, you’re not really attracted to guys, it’s just how good the writer is. Yes. That is definitely it.

There’s a sex scene near the end of the book so steamy that you can’t stop yourself from touching your cock as you read. You don’t last very long, orgasming just as the lead does in the book, filling your underwear with your spunk. It’s late, and you’re starting to fade, but you make sure to finish the book, occasionally flipping a page with a cum-stained hand in your delirium, then make sure to click on the Task before conking out completely.

You never see that pop-up, by the time it appears you’re already asleep. The changes that go with it happen in your sleep, which might be one of the most peaceful and wonderful nights of sleep you’ve ever had. When you rise in the morning, happy it’s a day you don’t have to work, you feel great.

Downloading that app was such a great idea! You haven’t felt this motivated and energetic in years, and you did so much the day before! Now, with a full day off, you’re sure you can do even more.

You head to the bathroom first thing, both to use the toilet and get ready for the day. You’re still more than a little sleepy-headed, so it isn’t until you go to wipe yourself, not even having noticed you sat down to pee, that you see what you peed out of. Your dick is gone, as are your balls. In their place is a cute little vagina, with a feminine mound and a bit of curly pubic hair.

As you stare at it, the ramifications take time to settle in. But once they have, you’re wide awake. Standing up from the toilet, you run over to the bathroom mirror to see what you look like. All those cumulative changes from the day before, and the ones from when you slept, have left you looking very different.

Your hair is longer, softer, and has more volume than you’ve ever seen before. Your entire face looks different, mostly in small ways, that make you look more like a woman. From your narrow shoulders to your smaller feet, you’ve got the body of a woman. Your hands go to your new breasts, which are so small that anyone would call you flat-chested. Still, they feel so different from your chest before, and the contact with your nipples kindles some feeling in your groin you’ve never felt before.

This is crazy! Men don’t randomly turn into women! But then you think back to how you spent the day before, and the app comes to mind. Running naked into your bedroom, you grab your phone and find it’s dead. Letting out an annoyed huff (one that sounds higher pitched and girly), you plug it in and soon you’re able to turn it on, even if it can only be on while plugged in.

Checking your stats, you see that the Masculinity attribute has been replaced by Girliness, and you can’t deny any longer that the app is changing you. But what can you do about all this? There’s no support page on the app, and you can’t find it on the app store again. Biting your lip, you realize that the only way to fix this is to play the app, and hope the right Tasks appear to fix you. You see that actually several of your Tasks have reset into new ones. Go to brunch and Call over a friend. The only non-daily Task still there is Look for a better job. You look from Task to Task, trying to think of which one might help.
