"Is that supposed to be our clue to find your brother?" Karyn asked as she looked at the ring's description.
Emily shrugged. "I didn't find anything that would help us on it. The inscription isn't in english. I don't even recognize the letters."
"Have you tried wearing it?" Karyn asked, making Emily stare at her. "Oh, right... I forgot, sorry." Emily's body soon began moving by itself, slipping Quelor's blassing on her index finger... and nothing happened. "That was disappointing..."
"Well, the game did say it wasn't magic, but I don't know what else to do... Does the tutorial say something?"
"No, there isn't one right now..." As if on cue, a new tutorial appeared on Karyn's screen. "Never mind... It's talking about going to sleep. I don't think it will help us with the ring."
"Going to sleep, but it's not even dark yet..." Emily pointed at the window, but was greeted by a beautiful sunset. She looked confused but quickly understood. "Of course the game would control the day and night cycle. It looked like it was noon all day long..."
"J... Emily. It says it's the last tutorial!" Karyn said after reading. "Or at least the last until we discover new things that would need one. It says our adventure will really begin the next time you wake up."
"Finally! I've never seen a game with so many tutorials!" Emily said.
"Well, you just need to go to bed, and we finally get to play the real game." Karyn said. It was the first time she really played a game, and she couldn't help but be a little excited, despite Emily's future feminization... Or maybe because of it?
"Right..." Emily said. She was far from excited herself, but she knew she didn't have a choice. "The earlier we start, the earlier I can get out of this game." She entered the same bedroom she had started the game in. "Do you think I will really sleep?" She asked while looking at the bed. "I mean... I'm not even sure if I need sleep while I'm in the game. I don't think I've even been tired since we started, and I've moved a lot today!"
"I don't know..." Karyn simply answered. "We'll just have to try."
"Yeah..." Emily said without enthusiasm. "I guess we'll have to..." She took a deep breath and tried to smile. "Alright! See you tomorrow then...Or in a few seconds, I don't know!"
Karyn smiled back. "See you tomorrow." And with that, her screen disappeared once again. Emily was ready for it this time, but it still felt lonely. She opened her menu to see if there were some indications.
Sleep
Just one word, without percentage this time, but it told her what she had to do if she ever doubted it. She approached the bed but quickly realised she had a problem... She was still dressed, and Karyn wasn't here to help her get undressed. It might not be too much of a problem with just the dress and panties, but she didn't want to sleep with boots on her feet! "Fuck! I should have thought about that..." She sat on the bed and tried removing the old boots without much conviction, but to her surprised, it came off.
"Huh?" She looked at the boot in her hand then at her bare foot. She put it down and tried again with her other boot for the same result. Emily grinned. She never thought removing her shoes by herself would one day make her so happy! She removed the dress next without trouble, leaving it on the floor next to the old boots. She didn't even think about putting them in her inventory.
However, Emily's mood darkened a little as she looked at her last remaining garment. She hadn't really thought about her vagina since she did the quest to find Lyla. She hadn't gone back to ignoring it, but it had faded into the background when nothing had drawn attention to it for a while. However, the flat area in the front of her pink panties reminded her it was still there.
She debated with herself for a while as to whether she should remove her panties or sleep with them. Eventually, she closed her eyes and began lowering it slowly. She had decided to stop ignoring her new vagina, and it was better to deal with it now rather than wait until the game forced her to do it!
She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She was greeted by a clear view of her hairy pussy, clearer than she ever saw it since she first discovered it. She touched it lightly. The sensation were a little more familiar now after scratching it numerous time, but still felt weird to Emily. She continued to caress herself gently for a while, until the weirdness decreased and she began to feel some pleasure and a little dampness.
That surprised her. With everything that had happened, she had almost forgotten a vagina could be used for pleasure. Emily almost stopped her exploration here, but she didn't. She was worried the game wouldn't leave her the time to explore her pussy at her own rhythm and force her to do it. She closed her eyes once more and plunged her finger into her vagina.
Karyn's screen had gone black once more after sending Emily to sleep and she expected it to show her friend waking up again after one or two seconds, but she saw something else instead. The room was still dark, only lit by the light of a candle near the bed, but it was enough to see. On the bed, Karyn saw Emily. She was naked and had a hand between her legs. On the bottom left of the screen was also a message.
Emily is masturbating for the first time.
