"After a while, I heard about this game and spent what little money I had saved up to buy the equipment. I thought, what if I could become someone completely different? I thought, what if I become a somewhat awkward yet outgoing girl? Like one of those anime protagonists. But even in game I found myself alone. I kept trying to talk to people. Although they did not seem to hate me, they did not like me either. That was all until I met you and Staple, that is...

"To this day, I still wonder who I am… What was I put on this planet to do besides being a punching bag for others… Lexy, who do you think I am?" Megalim looked up at Lexy with questioning eyes.

Lexy leaned back and fell into thought. She had never thought of such a question before as who am I. She herself was supposed to be on her death bed in a coma, but now she was a cat girl, and her life now felt real. "I think you are just you. People will always see you in a different light, but I think what you think about yourself is what counts more than anything else. But for me, you are my friend who is a kind girl. It's hard to explain with how we have just met, but I feel you are a sweet girl who just needs someone to acknowledge you. But you are no longer alone. You have me, Staple, and Olivia."  Lexy replied as she yawned. She was starting to get tired.

"Mmm..." Megalim was curled up on the couch using Lexy's lap as a pillow. She looked up at the cute face that was fighting off her sleepiness and wondered if Lexy was sent from heaven or not to tell her things would be fine. "Lexy..."

Lexy looked down to see Megalim looking back up at her. "Hmm?"

"Are you not going to log off?" Megalim asked.

"I..." Lexy really had no way to answer that question. She couldn't log off!

"Are you sleeping in game?"  Megalim asked suddenly.

"Sleep in game?" Lexy never heard of anyone besides her sleeping in game. Then again, she only knew Olivia before today.

"Yeah, in the settings screen, there is an option for you to switch on sleep mode so you can sleep in game. It even has an alarm so you can wake up and log out  at a certain time." Megalim replied.

Lexy opened her menu and went to the settings tab, which she basically ignored and saw that there was an option for that, although greyed out for her. She also saw another option that was switched on. Lock underwear! This entire time there was actually an option to take her underwear off! Although from what she could feel before, there was nothing under there, really. But even still, she quickly turned it off. She would have to check it out later, for now, she had to deal with Megalim, who was waiting for her answer. "Mmm… Sleeping in game doesn't sound so bad.."

"Do you mind if I join you? We can have a slumber party of sorts… I just really don't want to be alone..." Megalim was being much more honest with how she felt now that she had told Lexy about herself. She found it funny really since she had just met Lexy, but she found Lexy very easy to talk to and felt like she could be herself. She did, however, worry if she would end up being too clingy as she had always sought this kind of warmth. And now that she had it, she did not want to give it up.

Lexy blushed hearing Megalim's question, but she really didn't see anything wrong with it. It would be no different than Megalim using her lap as a pillow. Taking a deep breath, Lexy nodded her head as she said: "Yeah, why not? The bed is big enough for four."

"Then let's get out of our armor!" Megalim smiled and sat up. She quickly unequipped her gear, leaving her in nothing but her underwear.

Lexy couldn't help but stare. Megalim's body was very slim, and her breasts were much bigger than she had thought. Her robes did not do this girl justice, her body was hawt! Lexy slapped her cheeks, trying to snap her out of her daze. She got up and unequipped her armor as well. She looked down at her black underwear and slid her finger underneath the hem of her panties before checking her bra. When she saw that she could now remove them, Lexy made a promise to herself to check it all out when Megalim logged out so she wouldn't look like some kind of weirdo.

But Lexy did have to admit she was very tired. The two girls climbed into bed. Megalim scooted over to Lexy and curled up next to her. "Lexy, can I hold your hand?" Megalim asked in what was almost a whisper.

Lexy rolled over to face Megalim and held out her hand. "Is this good?"

"Mmm..." Megalim smiled and held Lexy's hand, and almost instantly, her breathing became slow and steady. Lexy looked at the girl next to her, breathing softly, and realized she actually did not have any strange thoughts. If it was her previous self, this kind of situation would have sent her over the edge. She would be blushing away and may have even done something to get her in trouble. Never mind her body sweat. But now, she didn't really have such feelings. Yes, she thought Megalim was very cute and had a nice looking body, but she felt calm about it. That was when a thought came to mind. 'Is it because I see myself in the mirror every day? Did looking at my own sexy body every day make me immune to other girls' sexy bodies!?'

Sighing, Lexy looked at Megalim's peaceful sleeping face and smiled. "Well, if she can sleep peacefully, that's a good thing."

The next morning Lexy woke up with a private message from Megalim saying she had to log out for classes. Lexy rubbed her sleepy eyes and soon found something to be off. She felt a chill on her upper body. She looked down to see that her bra was no longer on, but that was not the most important thing. It was the strange purplish marks on her breasts that caused her to be alarmed. They looked like bruises or maybe even some kind of bug bite. It was the first time she had ever seen them, so she was very confused. "Mosquitoes? Wait does this game even have bugs!?"
