Daniel woke up and lay in bed for a moment, staring at the ceiling. Then he remembered the convention he had to go to and got up immediately. He stopped wondering where he was; the room was different, and a sudden realization hit him. “I was isekai’d to another world by that book,” he said to himself. Daniel recalled the events of yesterday: he was now in a new world, with no idea how to get back to his own world.

Daniel sat on the edge of his bed for a moment, unsure what to do next. He needed new clothes; Reina had only given him what he was wearing. He got up and took a shower. When he finished, he dried off and put on the same outfit Reina had given him. Then he headed downstairs, where many adventurers were already up and about. They didn’t stay in the guild hall—only the staff did.

Some men whistled at him again. He approached a staff member and asked about Reina. They told him she’d gone out on errands and said Daniel could do whatever he wanted—just not to get lost and forget where the guild hall was. “Do you know where I can get new clothes?” Daniel asked. The staff member gave him directions to a few clothing shops. Daniel thanked him and headed out to find them.

Daniel walked through the streets, searching for the clothing shop. He realized how closely this new world resembled his own—except for the races of beings he’d only ever seen in anime. He also noticed that some wore armor. They wore it over everything above the waist, from gauntlets to breastplates and greaves, and their gambesons hung past their knees. It didn’t look medieval—more like something modern.

He saw people wearing clothes and armor as if they’d stepped out of a video game—like an MMO from his world. Daniel felt the breeze between his legs and on the parts of his body not covered by clothing. He didn’t want to admit it, but he felt good in what he was wearing. He made it to one of the clothing stores the staff member had mentioned. Inside, he looked around at the many options.

Daniel browsed through the racks and saw plenty of options for both men’s and women’s clothing. He’d come for men’s clothes, but the women’s outfits looked cute, and curiosity got the better of him. He started looking through them—some were revealing, while others covered more skin. Daniel’s heart raced as he imagined what he would look like in the women’s clothes on display, and what it would feel like to wear them. He also realized he had no underwear on, and now he had a choice: men’s or women’s. He could afford several of the outfits. With two pieces of gold still in his pocket, he finally decided what he wanted to buy.

He paid for his clothes and headed to the store’s dressing room to change. Once inside, he began to undress. He slowly removed his shirt, then eased the short shorts down, feeling them slide over his thighs. He shivered pleasantly as he tugged off his ankle socks. Then he stepped into a new pair of women’s underwear, feeling the soft cloth glide up his legs.

He pulled the women’s underwear up, the snug fabric constricting his cock and testicles; he let out a soft moan at how good it felt. Then he slipped on safety shorts. They hugged his ass and crotch, and he loved the sensation. Daniel moved slowly, savoring the moment. He smiled, knowing that for once in his life he felt good. Next, he slipped on thigh-highs, which gently clung to his thighs.

There were several outfits hanging up. He had choices: blue short shorts, white ones, black ones, or the sporty pair; or skirts—short and frilly, pleated—or long ones like Reina’s. He knew he’d bought a lot, but he couldn’t decide what to wear. “Struggling to choose what to wear?” a woman’s voice called from outside.

Fear seized Daniel; he didn’t know how to answer. “Sort of?” he managed to mutter. “Let me in, and I can help you out,” the woman said. Daniel opened the door to see an employee with black hair falling to the middle of her back and brown eyes. She’d been watching him earlier as he picked out clothes. She wore a loose pink shirt that hung off one shoulder and revealed another, A short blue pleated skirt, with white thigh-highs and knee-high heeled boots.

The woman stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She locked it, then smiled at Daniel when she realized he was a man. “Oh, crossdressing, are we?” she said, approaching him and placing a hand on his crotch. Daniel tried to back away, but he was already pinned against the wall. The woman pressed closer, sliding her hand up his inner thigh to his cock.

Daniel moaned as her hand closed around his cock. She kissed his lips, gently sucking on them. Daniel had never kissed a woman before—this was his first. His cock was so hard in her palm that he arched his back slightly. He wasn’t sure why, only that he felt like he needed to. As she started to pull away, he kissed her back. He kissed and sucked on her lips desperately; the sensations were new, and he enjoyed them.

Daniel’s tongue danced with hers as their lips stayed locked. He felt the warmth of her mouth; their lips and tongues were slick from the kissing. “Such a desperate one, aren’t you?” the woman teased.

Daniel pulled back; a string of saliva connected their lips for a moment. “Sorry, I’m new to all this,” he said, looking away.

She kissed his cheek and neck playfully. “Don’t worry, I’ll take real good care of you.” She licked and teased his nipples, gently sucking on them. He felt her lips on them and her warm breath as she sucked. Her mouth toyed with his nipples until he began to moan. He raised a hand to cover his mouth; he didn’t want to be too loud.

With her free hand, she gently pinched and rubbed his other nipple. The sensations overwhelmed Daniel; his knees weakened, and he grabbed her shoulders for support. He breathed heavily—it was more than he could handle.

“Oh fuck, it’s so good,” he whispered, biting his lower lip. The woman moved lower, licking and kissing his stomach.

She knelt and slowly pulled down his safety shorts, along with the women’s underwear he was wearing. “Oh, so small—it’s cute,” she teased as his cock was exposed. He was five inches even when hard, and he felt embarrassed, knowing he wasn’t big at all. She kissed and licked the head of his cock, teasing him. Daniel was surprised she wanted to continue even after seeing how small he was.

She gently sucked on the head of his cock. He felt her warm hands on his thighs, her warm mouth on his cock. Daniel knew he wasn’t going to last long as he felt he was on the edge already from all the teasing she did to him. He was breathing heavier as she kept up her teasing, he placed his hand on the back of her head, not forcing her head closer, more like he wanted to feel her too. His knees were shaking from the overwhelming sensation he was feeling as he was right on that edge.

The woman sucked his cock, taking his entire length into her mouth. Daniel lost control and came hard. As he climaxed, he let out a moan and worried someone might hear outside. It was the first time Daniel had ever come—inside the mouth of a woman he didn’t know. His legs nearly gave out as she kept sucking even after he’d finished.

Daniel slid both hands to the back of her head as she took his full length and held him there for a brief moment. When she pulled back and his cock went limp, she looked up at him; Daniel stared back. She teasingly stroked his sensitive cock, watching him struggle and enjoying every second. Then she stood and kissed him, her tongue slick with his own cum. Daniel froze as he tasted it. He was briefly disgusted, but he didn’t pull away from her.

They kissed for a few minutes as the woman wrapped her arms around Daniel. She held the back of his head, making sure he didn’t pull away. She made him swallow his own cum as she aggressively licked his tongue. Then she pulled back and kissed him again.

“I chose a specifically cute outfit for you, gorgeous,” she said, laying out clothes for him to wear. “Are these okay? Also, I’ve noticed you don’t have an Astralink Band. You should get one,” she added, pulling out a marker and writing her number on his stomach. He twitched as he felt the marker slide across his skin.

After a while, Daniel finally stepped out. He wore a black camisole with a loose, green, off-the-shoulder top over it. The top was short, leaving a bit of his midsection exposed. He also wore a black pleated skirt with a white floral design near the lower left, black thigh-highs, and sneakers. The woman had dressed him to look cute.

Daniel was about to leave the store when he spotted the woman behind the counter. She blew him a kiss, and he smiled, waving back. His legs were still a little shaky, so he walked slowly, wondering where to go next. Catching his reflection in a mirror, he decided to get his hair styled. It was short, but long enough to fall past his eyes, which was why he combed his bangs to the side.

Unsure where to go since he was new to town, Daniel noticed a woman with her hair styled nicely and decided to ask where she had it done.

“Ma’am, sorry to bother you, but where do you get your hair done?” he asked shyly. The woman smiled and told him where she went, adding that it was costly.

Daniel thanked the woman and made his way to the hair salon she’d mentioned. He looked through the window and saw several women in chairs, some getting their hair cut and others having it styled. One of the employees noticed him and waved; he waved back. He was too nervous to go in, but the employee walked over, opened the door, and asked if he wanted to come inside. “Umm, I guess? Thanks,” Daniel said, still nervous.

The woman was an elf, with silver, wavy hair that fell to her waist and eyes to match. She wore blue capri pants and a yellow short-sleeve shirt, with a few bracelets on her wrists. Daniel looked around. “Have a seat,” she said in an energetic, mid-pitched voice.

Daniel sat, still unsure how he wanted his hair styled. “I’m not sure how I want it styled, honestly,” he said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you. I’m Aurenne, by the way,” she said, draping a barber’s cloth over him.

“I’m Daniel—thanks,” he replied, closing his eyes as Aurenne worked on his hair.

After a few minutes, Aurenne said, “Finished. It looks so much better than before.”

Daniel opened his eyes and took it in. He loved it; his hair now fell in a tousled French bob with his bangs swept to the side that looked amazing on him.

“I love it. Thank you so much,” he said as Aurenne removed the cloth.

Daniel got up and walked with Aurenne to the counter near the door. “How much?” he asked.

“Just one silver,” she replied. Daniel pulled out two silver coins and told her the other was a tip.

“Thank you so much—come back again,” she said.

“You’re welcome, and thank you for the haircut,” Daniel replied as he left the salon. He now had new clothes and a hairstyle that suited his soft features. For the first time in his life, Daniel felt amazing. He never thought he’d go down this path, but he didn’t care anymore. New world, new life.

As Daniel looked around, he realized how closely this world resembled his own. The only difference was that it used an old currency—copper, silver, and gold coins. With guilds and adventurers everywhere, he couldn’t help but wonder what they did. He came upon a building selling what looked like smartwatches, with a sign that read “New Astralink Bands.” They were meant for communication and could apparently store items, like an inventory system. Daniel was surprised; in his world, nothing like that existed.

“So, this is what that woman meant,” he said, remembering her advice. He checked the price of the latest model: thirty-five pieces of gold. “Oh, nope—way out of my price range,” he muttered. There were cheaper ones, but Daniel wanted the newest version. He decided to save up by working at the guild hall. Who knows—maybe he’d get better tips now that he looked like this. With that in mind, Daniel headed back to the guild hall; he needed to get ready for work.

On his way back, Daniel admired this new fantasy world. He saw what looked like airships drifting overhead—each a different shape and size, with its own design. The many races around him made him feel as though he’d stepped into a fantasy book. He laughed at the thought, just as he probably had with Reina—except this was Reina’s world, not his. He saw the guild hall within distance, and so many of its members coming and going.

Daniel made his way to the guild hall’s entrance and stepped inside. Reina and the others were getting things ready for the afternoon, and he joined them. Reina saw him and almost didn’t recognize him at first. “Daniel?”
“Yep, it’s me,” he replied as Reina looked him over. She couldn’t believe her eyes—it really was Daniel.

Reina looked Daniel over. “Oh, you’re all prettied up now,” she said with a smile, excited that he’d gone out for new clothes and a fresh hairstyle. Cassandra, Sena, and Sarina came over to admire his new look and complimented his outfit and hair. Daniel thanked them, and Reina reminded them they needed to open up soon. Daniel rushed upstairs and got ready; he was already wearing what he wanted to wear, he just needed to freshen up.

Once Daniel was finished, he headed back downstairs. There were so many guild members today. “Is it normally this busy?” Daniel asked Reina as she made sure the counter was clean.

“No, only on certain days. Today there’s a meeting with the guild members here,” she replied. The two of them cleaned and set up the counter for the day.

“Danny, here’s a server apron. Keep your clothes clean, and keep the things you need in your pockets, like your small notebook and pen,” Reina said, getting back to work.

“So, you’re just going to keep calling yourself Daniel?” Cassandra asked, trying to relax before the shift began.

“What should I call myself?” Daniel replied as he waited for them to start.

“Like a stage name or something,” Cassandra said, already thinking of alternatives.

“How about Noir?” he suggested, glancing at the guild members.

“I think it’s great. Never use your real name—especially around guild members, even if they’re in our guild. It’s for safety,” she explained.

“Thank you so much. Noir it is, then,” he said, adjusting his outfit.

“Why Noir, if you don’t mind me asking?” Cassandra asked. Daniel looked at her and replied, “Because it’s one of my favorite colors. It’s the color of my hair and eyes, and I only ever wear black. Well, I’m wearing other colors that were chosen for me for now.” Their shift was about to start, and Reina let them both know they could clock in now.

On the second day, Daniel felt more confident than he ever had. He was still shy, but he had a job to do. Back in his own world, he worked part-time stocking shelves at night, when there were no customers in the store. Now he was out in the open, surrounded by customers—the kind of work he feared most. He took a deep breath and let it out.

“I’ve got this. You’ve got this, Da—Noir. You’ve got this, Noir,” he told himself. Daniel’s second day was truly about to begin.
