The Wrong Character

 

Mark put his headset on. He had chosen “Darren the Destroyer” six feet tall, massive muscles, the strongest character in the game. His friend Amy was going to be “Evie the Elf Archer,” and his other friend Luke was going to be “The Wandering Wizard.” This was going to be so much fun.

As the game loaded up, they were transported into their characters’ bodies.

Expecting to see strong muscles and Darren’s trademark hammer, Mark was confused when he realised he was holding a bow.

“What the hell? Why am I Evie?” said Mark as he looked at his friend Luke, who was running his hand down the Wandering Wizard’s long white beard.

“Oh yeah, Amy changed it last minute. She didn’t want to play as the stereotypical female character. She said all the women in these games are the same sex objects,” said Luke, now firing spells from his staff.

Mark looked down at his body. He had breasts. He had pointed ears. He then checked his character’s attributes:

High IQ
High Persuasion
Seduction Skills
High Archer Accuracy

Weaknesses:
Stealth
Strength
Mobility

“Mobility?” Mark stepped forward and tripped over his robes.
“Damn it!”

Amy then walked around the corner in Darren the Destroyer’s body.

“This is great! Look at my muscles now this is a real man!” she said, flexing and smashing things with her hammer, laughing.

“You switched our characters? I was meant to be him!” said Mark as he walked towards their first quest marker.

“Oh, you poor thing. I’ve told you I hate playing the female characters. They’re always made the same, just eye candy for guy players. Well, not today. I’m going to enjoy playing as Darren the Destroyer. Look at these perks…”

Mark had to complete the game he didn’t want to be the one to rage quit already. 

Hours later and they were on the final mission, Amy and Luke were standing there waiting for Mark to catch up he hated this characters low mobility and hated the outfit he was now wearing. 

“Why does female armour get stronger but more revealing!” Said Mark as he walked around to corner in just a metal bikini. 

“Final boss guys, oh look he had high chance of being seduced” said Amy looking at Mark. 

“No not after the last mission, it was horrible!” Said Mark who felt a cold shiver go down his spine as he thought about it. 

“Now do you understand why I hate playing as the female characters in these games” said Amy. 

“I guess” said Mark who just wanted to defeat the final boss and return to his own body. 

They defeat the boss and celebrated for a while before exiting the game, Mark was happy to be back in his body and was never playing a game with Amy and Luke again.
