Chapter 1 by TheEijiSan TheEijiSan

You are Aiden, a young man currently attending college who's struggling on various (a lot) of subjects. A young man who obtains over half of his own allowance on basic part-time jobs that got away on underpaying people like him. Overall, you are pretty much average across the board. Not ugly, not attractive. Not athletic, yet not frail or weak either.

Being a young man during the prime of his adolescence, obviously you are no stranger to... adult stuffs on the internet. You watch porn, from all sorts of genre, softcore to hardcore. But! Being a man who still lives with his parents, it is VERY hard to find some alone time to relieve your desires. Anyway, there are times that you need to get rather stealthy.

And tonight is that night.

When your father is currently out on a business trip, and your mother currently busy doing her own stuffs. You FINALLY got some perfect time alone.

BUT when you opened up your phone, you were immediately greeted by a strange pop-up.

TIRED OF YOUR BASIC LIFE?!

Possession? Like... taking over other people's bodies?

It sounds absurd and of course it is. There's just NO WAY you can possess other people's body. Scientifically, it's not possible AND never proven!

...

Or is it?

You think back. And you start considering. Even if this app is nothing more than a scam, or perhaps nothing more than a joke app... What's the harm in just... trying to download it? If you suddenly find it suspicious, you can just uninstall it. If it's a virus and somehow bricked your phone, you can just take it to a service center and get it repaired. Besides, there aren't any important files inside of your phone. Most of your college assignments are kept on your computer.

So, you clicked on the pop-up, and it takes you to a rather familiar looking App Store. To your surprise, the app is verified to be published on the App Store. However, it does have an odd disclaimer below. _'This App is Not Available for Every User. Only a selected few are able to download this Application to their Smartphone.' _So it's just like the pop-up said.

Feeling relaxed after seeing the familiar App Store, you don't hesitate to click on the Download Button. It's Free, so who cares?

After a quick setup on the app, it immediately boots up to its own Home Screen. You're surprised that it didn't just ask for your credit card info immediately. Looking at the home screen, it's pretty basic.

There's a bar on the bottom that has a few sections: Possess, History, Settings, Account. You clicked on the Account Tab and it shows your name that you just input on the setup screen. You went back to the _Possess _Tab and saw a button to Refresh. You pressed it out of curiosity and after a few seconds it showed something surprising... and creepy.

The Possess Tab, which was empty just a few seconds ago, is suddenly filled with a huge list. You can see names, and even information about where they currently are, their status and their gender. You gulped, fearing that you just stepped into a land mine before your curiosity got the better of you and you pressed on the filter button.

Within this small window, you are able to filter out the names. You pressed on gender: Female, and for location... you picked: Home.

As expected, it narrows down the list to just your home... And it shows your mother's name, Deborah.

...

Fuck.

What the hell is happening?!

...

Is this some kind of a prank? If it is, it's way too elaborate to be one!

Scrolling on the previous lists, you can see few names that are familiar to you. Your neighbor, the old woman next door, your best friend's name, and even some names from your own college!

You feel overwhelmed. And scared. A part of you wants to just uninstall the app and forget about it. The other part... is curious... very curious.

You looked back at the app, and remembering the original function of the app, you started scrolling. Whilst scrolling, the app gave some additional information.

- Whenever you're in another person's body. Your personal body will be occupied by a copy of your soul that you can command whatever you like. Your personal body will always obey you, and will always know who you are, regardless of the body you're currently controlling.

- In order to go back to your personal body, you just have to simply imagine going back to your body.

...

With that additional information, you picked your test subject...

Who do you pick?
