Chapter 3: Jewellery Exchanged! Game system?!
Ashley wasn't recognizable as herself, though he was the only man among us now. He was… a big dude, like a walking mountain. He stood, probably seven feet in height, and had massive rippling muscles, though he was built for strength, not body building competitions.
He had a round barrel chest, a thick core that almost looked like a beer gut if not for the bulging abs, and thick tree trunk legs. As Ashley requested, his body was a forest of dark brown body hair. He had short, messy hair on his head, and a bushy beard to match the rest of the whole mountain-man aesthetic.
"Looks like you got what you wanted Ashley…" I said, carefully keeping my gaze above his waist.
"You can call me Ash," the monstrous man replied, and looked down. "Oh shit! Look at this python guys!"
Ash leapt to his feet, and stood proudly in a superman pose, with legs akimbo. He waggled his hips… and his heavy cock waggled back in response. For a second my eyes deceived me, it almost looked normal compared to his body, above average, but not exactly monstrous. But then I realized the big man's size was throwing my estimate off.
In absolute terms, even dangling flaccid between his legs, that thing was probably longer and thicker than my former self's erect size. And if he got a boner… scary.
That would destroy me…
"I can't help feeling a bit intimidated…" I admitted, feeling my pussy clench for no reason. No reason at all.
"Hah! You should be, bitch!" Ash growled with proud grin. "Uh… which one are you… Tyler or Matt?"
"I'm Tyler," I said.
"Um… Matt," the blonde bombshell replied.
"Though I guess that's obvious now huh…"
"Nice tits Matt," Ash said, with a thumbs up.
Matt reached down and groped one of his boobs, looking somewhat lost as if he wasn't sure what to do with it.
"Thanks?" he replied, not entirely sure how to take the compliment.
"You don't look like a Matt anymore, you're more like… a Stacy, or a Barbie… Maybe a Bambi?"
"Please, no bimbo names…" Matt pouted.
"Or just like… a feminine Matt then? Hmm… Matt, Mattie, Mathilda? No, Matt-ison, Madison?"
"Madison works well," Peter commented.
"As fascinating as choosing new gendered names may be, perhaps you should choose your starting class and familiarize yourself with your System?" Lysander interrupted.
"And how do I do that?" I asked.
"Status!" Peter cheerfully called out. "Hah, it worked! My knowledge of trashy Isekai tropes is paying off."
"You don't need to say it out loud," Lysander added. "Merely verbalize it inside your own mind with the intention of opening the menu."
Status, I thought.
A videogame like screen popped up.

You are eligible for a class upgrade!
Neat. I didn't really know how any of that translated into my new reality. If this was anything like the tabletop game we were playing before, a 10 in any stat was average. I had nothing to really base that assumption on, other than my instinct as a nerd.
Strength was my lowest stat, with a score of six. That sounded pretty pathetic, but given that my current body was designed by a horny sadist with a kink for struggle snuggles… Yeah that was probably fair. On the other end of the spectrum was Intelligence. I'd been pursuing an engineering degree, before getting genderbent and sent to rapeworld, at least.
Compared to Lysander, I was a dunce, but compared to most other people, I was actually pretty proud of my smarts. Perception and Magic were decent too. With stats like these, clearly I was well set up for some sort of mage build.
I read the words at the bottom, saying that I was eligible for a class upgrade, and I felt something strange. It felt like I could press against the words with my mind by focusing on it. I did the mental equivalent of a mouse click and a new screen opened.
Class Options:
Warrior (Tier 1)
Mage (Tier 1)
Commoner (Tier 0)
Huh? That was it?
"Uh guys… do you have more than just three class options?" I asked.
"Warrior, Mage, and Commoner, that's it…" Peter grumbled. "How boring!"
"There's no Healer class…" Chloe said, sounding disappointed.
"Why? Going to be our party healbitch again?" I asked with a slightly sadistic grin.
"Um… yes Sir, er… Ma'am… if that's alright with you…" she demurred submissively, getting into character like a good girl. The lewd grin on her face was unmistakeable.
"If you select Mage, you unlock the general mana manipulation skill, and can spend skill points to unlock various magical disciplines. If this world is consistent with fantasy and video game tropes, I would wager that healing falls under holy affinity magic, or perhaps some combination of water and earth." Lysander explained.
"You went Mage, Lysander?" I asked. "What am I talking about… of course you did."
"Indeed. I bought pure arcane magic to start with."
"You're all a bunch of pussies," Ash grumbled. "I'm going with Warrior."
"As a matter of fact, I sort of am a pussy. I've got six strength in this body… I doubt I could even hold a sword."
"I've got a sword you can hold right here…" Ash grunted, grinning savagely.
"Yes, yes, you're proud of your cock, congratulations," I said, rolling my eyes.
"Hey, you have any idea how many years I've wanted to have my own cock? Let me enjoy this. Catcalling and sexually harassing my female friends and coworkers is just part of the whole man experience." Ash waggled his eyebrows, "Wanna come sit on my face sweetheart?"
Playing along, I gave him a deadpan expression, "Maybe later."
"Is that a promise?" Ash replied with a grin. "All joking aside, you're talking to a former dyke here… I've got mad skills with my fingers and tongue. Say the word, and I'll chain-orgasm you into oblivion."
Oh shit, he was serious? "Um… Maybe not right this minute…" I nervously replied.
"Hah! Let me know if you change your mind," Ash said.
I decided to ignore him for now. I was ashamed to admit it, but I was seriously considering Ash's offer. If Ash was still Ashley the girl, then I'd have accepted in a heartbeat, no problem there, but as a straight guy in the girl's body, letting another guy touch me was a bit weird…
If I let a dude eat me out, was that gay? Or was it straight because I was a girl now? Liking girls as a guy made my straight, but if I still liked girls did that make me gay now? If so, was fooling around with a guy gay or straight? Ugh… This was confusing. I didn't want to think about all this right now.
The class selection prompt was still floating in front of my eyes. I selected Mage.
