《Perspectives on Madness》Chapter 0008 - Another Perspective - Male? Female?
Advertisement
Qing Lin's consciousness was now in the white-haired youth's body. Her surroundings were those of a typical prison cell: stone, moss, a simple bed, and an iron bar gate.
Normally she would be scared when she was in such a room or environment, but she wasn't now. The reason was simple: It was because she was here for him! - Helping him!
She could feel the cold ground, the heavy air, and a wet spot on her cheek. Thinking that it was probably a tear, her heart became heavy and she swore in her heart, "Don't worry. I will bring you out of here."
She wanted to stand up, but controlling another body was nevertheless strange. His body was taller and more muscular than hers. In addition, she felt multiple stinging pains in her muscles, probably from a fight.
She couldn't endure that someone had injured him like that and she promised to herself, 'Whoever gave you those injuries, I will get revenge for you and get payback for what that evil person did to you.'
Standing up, she straightened her back and lifted her head to get a feeling for her new height, getting accustomed to this body.
Seeing a single prison guard in a black, military uniform nearing her cell, she couldn't remain standing there and walked in her straightened position towards the gate of the cell. She had to stick to the plan or else it would be fatal.
Arriving at the rusty gate, she shot a glance towards the scary-looking guard. She had to check if the guard was weak enough so that she could knock him out with this weakened body.
When she saw the black raven at the guard's hat, she knew that this guard was perfect. It was only a guard of the lowest rank with no cultivation. In her happiness, her breathing got faster and she was getting nervous.

Moving her gaze back to the rusty iron bars, she thought, "Wow. These bars are rustier than I thought they would be."
With no time to loose, she glided her hands along the iron bars in search for the keyhole. As the guard came nearer and nearer, her hands became more fidgety.
The guard marched in lockstep nearer; his dog tags were clinking. She simply couldn't keep calm like this. It was too much pressure on her.
When the soldiery guard was nearly in front of her, she finally found the keyhole. Shortly after, the guard was directly in front of her and she swallowed her anxiety. '*gulp* Okay, here goes nothing. I'm sorry guard.'
She shot her hand out and grabbed his dog tags, pulling him closer into her warm embrace with the bars between them. Shooting her foot between his legs, she thought that it would knock the guard out. Or at least send him to his knees.
But to her shock, the guard didn't even flinch – not one bit. 'I didn't misjudge right? This is a man. I mean he looks really, really scary. How can't he be a man?'
Having no time to think more about that matter, she balled her fist and hit the guard's forehead with all her strength. The guard gave a high screech in response which sounded kind of girly to her, alarming all guards.
'So the guard IS female. …right?'
The guard collapsed in her arms, and she pulled a golden key out from the guard's pocket. Because she already found the keyhole, she put the key immediately in and unlocked the gate.
With the gate now being unlocked and opened, she pulled the soldiery-clad guard into her cell. 'Okay. So far so good,' she sighed.

Thinking of the next step in her plan, her cheeks turned blazing red. She looked at her body, which is the one from the muscular, white-haired youth, and became nervous again.
'I can't be embarrassed now! This is all part of a plan for his good – not for mine!' she told herself.
Swiftly she removed her clothes and laid them to the side. Now being half-naked, she couldn't resist after seeing this kind of body and had to do it: she slowly glided her fingers over his muscular six-packs.
'AH! What am I doing?! The guards will come soon,' she reprimanded herself.
She now started removing layer for layer of clothes from the guard: hat, shoes, jacket, shirt, and pants.
Now the both of them were half-naked. Looking at the guard, she murmured, "So it was a woman. I'm sorry."
She quickly changed the clothes and put them on, looking now like a real guard.
A group of guards arrived in lockstep at her cell, standing in an orderly manner. The leader of the group wore purple dog tags and called out to her, "G54, what happened here?!"
It was time to show what she could do. She recalled every interaction with the guards and the code from the knocked-out guard's dog tags. Remembering all those things, she straightened herself, made a military salute, and replied, "Reporting! LV30C10 was acting out of line and I taught him a lesson."
The leader of the guards acted as if this was totally normal and only gave a slight nod in response. He continued the patrol with his group of guards and marched away.
Qing Lin felt really happy. A smile came to her lips and she giggled. 'I did it. I really did it!'
She stepped out of the cell and left the real guard in it, who she now knew is female. She locked the gate, put the key away, and walked proudly away from the cell. Following the corridor, she walked into the direction of the exit.

Polaris Dark
This is not the most expensive nor the first VRMMORPG of the third decade in the twenty-first century. [The Millennium Ascedency], otherwise known simply known as ""Ascendency"" to the public, became the number one game in the Japanese gaming community within three months. Soon after, the world joins in on the action, bringing it to the spotlight in the entertainment sector and is the reigning champion of popularity two years after the launch. Both men and women are into this game, both casual and professional players can be found... So what will happen when a curious young girl encounters this game without the intention to play? Will she become another gamer that is lost in the masses or will she prove to be someone that changes the VR world forever? [This is rated 18+ for blood, gore, suggestive content, sexual violence, coarse language and other mature content not intended for a younger audience. Please don't ignore this warning and then complain that you are offended by the content, it just doesn't work that way.] [All scenes that contains explicit sexual content will be placed into spoilers as a precautionary measure.] [Unfortunately, there have been too many Virtual Reality Stories as well as those that have elements of gaming. At this point, my wish for something more unique has pretty much gone down the drain. I will have to put this on story on an indefinite hiatus until the popularity of the Virtual Reality Stories has gone down or else this story may get fully dropped. I sincerely apologize for those who liked the story and wish for it to continue.] >>> I am currently working on a new story that is of another genre. It is at the planning stage right now so it is not an official announcment for a new story.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
