Introduction 

When you wish to travel to a new reality there are a few preventive requirements to do so to ensure a safe, secure, and full integration into that world.  Above all else, the world to which you go must never know from whence you came.  This is in order to prevent cultural contamination and allow that civilization to progress in its natural development.  The knowledge of that realms rules as well as strict adherence to them is paramount while you are there.

The reality to which you choose to become a part of is known as the Titan Realm.  A reality composed of regular sized people proportionate in population to tiny four-inch tall people.  Research into that world’s history has found that in order to deter global warming, prevent over-population, and alleviate the strain on natural resources over half the population of the entire planet was reduced in size.  Unparalleled peace, prosperity, and abundance resulted as a direct result of this massive undertaking.  Societies flourish now in that dimension under strict guidelines on how the two size different people interact with each other.

The role of your choice in this reality you portray cannot be un-chosen.  Decisions made by you will directly affect you in addition to how the realm interacts with you like any other world.  In essence, your fate is of your own doing.  You have been warned.

Prolog 

Arriving at the Reality Life Modulation Facility, or as better known to the public at large simply as REALM, to go on an excursion into another world you toil over which one from the brochure you'd like to visit.  This will be your first trip off world.  Many of your friends and family have already taken numerous explorations with amazing stories to accompany each one.

With the accidental discovery of interdimensional travel many centuries ago by Professor Mallory it has become sort of an everyday normality for people of your world to cloak-travel, which is to assume the physical identity of someone of another reality without their consent or knowledge, into other worlds in order to experience their universe.  This form of possession travel gives the visitor complete immersion without the risk of any harm coming to them or your world.  Regardless of anything you do as someone else they will think anything you do is of their choice thus eliminating any cultural contamination or retaliation as in the early days of inter-world travel wars with the Kromags.

"Have you picked one you want to visit yet?" came a voice standing over you.

Looking up you saw a young girl no older than twelve smiling down sweetly at you.  She, of course, was attired in the official REALM uniform.  Knee high glossy black boots, the heel of which clicked loudly against the ground, short mini-skirt that revealed a bit too much of her hot pink panties whenever she would bend any which way, an open top dark blue blouse to match her skirt with white ascot wrapped loosely around her neck, and finally a French cap dawning her perfectly braided ponytail.  She looked more like a naughty girl scout than an official receptionist at REALM.

"Oh... uh... no.  Not yet anyways.  There are so many to choose from but I'm not sure any of them are what I want miss...?" you confess to her as you squint to read her small nametag hanging loosely under her perky left breast.

She blushes seeing you try not to ogle her low cleavage and points to her nametag, "I'm Melody.  I will be like your tour guide to other zones.  My job is to help you select one that will most suit your desired needs as well to monitor your safety while you are there to ensure a secure and pleasure stay for you.  Also, if need be, extract you in case of any emergency should they arise."

"Emergencies?" you ask nervously, "What do you mean?"

"Like in the event that your character dies we can totally retrieve you unharmed and place you into another one of your choice." Melody replies nonchalantly.

"Oh ok.  I guess that's good."

"Seriously only like one out of a thousand a month do we ever need to go rescue anyone.  For the most part zone hoping is more realizable than weather reports, safer than flying, and much more fun too right?  So you have nothing to worry about.  And besides, you have me looking out for you."

Even though her smile gleams of confidence you don't feel all too reassured about the prospect of having your life in her twirling hair hands.  Little did you know now how true your concerns would prove to be so well founded.

"Would you like me to help you select a zone to visit?" Melody ask you sweetly while taking a seat next to you.

"Zone?"

"Oh!" She exclaims, "It's what we REALMer's here call it to travel to other worlds.  I think it's catchy don't you?"

"Huh... yeah, I guess it is." you answer.

You turn your attention back to the brochure momentarily.  So many possibilities but at the same time they all have been done before by lots of people.  You heard stories of each one in fact from everyone you know.  You're afraid any trip you make to any of them would only be repeating what they've already done.  No.  You wanted something different.  Something unexplored that will top anyone's stories.

You place the pamphlet down beside you, turn to face Melody as you lean in close to whisper in her ear, "Do you have any zone off the books or possibly untested yet?"

Shocked, Melody hurriedly hushes you, "Shhh!!  You can't be saying that!  I'll get in so much trouble."

"Ah ha!" you excitedly whisper. "I knew it!  You do!  Tell me what it is!"

Melody stammers as she struggles to answer, "I ... wha...that is not... well... I can't... no... No!"

"Come on!" you prod her, "I need to go someplace nobody has ever been and do something so unorthodox and awesome that everyone will be jealous."

Melody visibly seems to internally quarrel with herself after hearing your pleas.  Being of two minds of whether or not to help you is not what she figured would happen when she came up to be your zone guide.  She understands how you feel as she herself knows what it’s like to go someplace amazing just to hear someone else had already done it or worse been someplace even more incredible.

Melody does indeed know of a recently discovered realm not yet made known to the public.  One of her friends works as the secretary to Mr. Collins, one of the big bosses of REALM and she told her one heck of a story of that realm.  Melody figures that that would be the perfect place for you to go.  The only problem is it is considered way too extreme even for the most experienced zone hoppers not to mention for anyone who has yet to go to any zones for the very first time.

Only three of REALMs finest expedition team members have ever gone into that zone they dubbed the "Titan Realm."  The first explorer was declared missing after having lost contact with her.  The second chose to stay after severing his dimensional re-integrator effectively sabotaging any chance for the REALM retrieval team to bring him back.  The last girl sent in to locate them came back suffering extreme traumatic mental torture after only a few hours there.

After her extensive recovery the report she gave of her experience there and the unique nature of the social structuring they have sent waves of unparalleled fear throughout the high REALM administration.  Whatever was in that report that made them all wet themselves caused them to immediately seal off Titan Realm with any further exploration of it strictly forbidden.  No explanation was given as to why but the coordinates to that dimension have been blocked from all Zone Transporters.

Yet, as Melody has found out from her fellow REALMers, access to any zone is possible if you know the right hack to do.  However, if you're caught anyone you sent to a locked out zone would be stuck there permanently in addition to you being fired.  So there is no incentive to breaking the rules for either party.

Melody loved her job.  She loved doing it as much as seeing the joy it brought to others after they came back from another world.  She certainly didn't want to get anyone stuck somewhere or have herself fired.  Sure the job didn't pay all too well but she needed it since it was all she could do to support her financially strapped family.  Not many opportunities are open for a girl her age in her world as compared to some of the other's she has read about.

That's when the idea struck her like a bolt of lightning.  She wondered how much you'd be willing to pay to her for the most exotic vacation anyone has ever known.  Melody saw the look in your eyes and knew you were desperate enough to pay anything.  She figured if she was careful she'd never get caught and make a lot of money.  Even if she was caught nobody would ever suspect a little girl could be so devious as to not only work the zone machines or be extorting money from customers.  Heck if worse comes to worse she knew she could always leave you there and delete any record of your travel.

You notice her smile turn into a wickedly devious grin.  An uneasy feeling came over you at the sight of her horrific smirk and maniacal giggle that followed suit.  The hairs on the back of your neck stood on end.  A cold chill crept itself up your spine.  Your heart beat faster and your lungs felt as if they were inhaling frosty air.  You thought to yourself maybe it wasn't a good idea after all for coming here or being so forthcoming with Melody.

"Uh... why are you smiling at me like that?" you nervously ask her.

She suddenly grabs your hand, "Shh, come with me!" Melody leads you in a rush past the lobby beyond a set of doors behind the reception desk in the back normally reserved for staff employees.  Ducking behind corners or hiding behind doors to avoid others she takes you in a maze of never-ending corridors.  Most were devoid of any tell-tell sign of anything but the sounds of her heels clicking loudly against the concrete ground.

Then you find yourself in the most mind boggling corridor of them all.  Stretching endlessly down past the extent of your vision.  Rows of doors to rooms on either side of you packed tightly together with each no bigger than to fit one person into.  A small lit light above each door with a square panel in the middle of the door.  Obviously both to indicate the room was in use and any info about the person inside.  You marvel at the sheer enormity and scope to which the REALM operates.

Another few minutes pass as she tugs you along behind her until at last she took to you a door with an unlit light above it.  "Ok we're here.  It'll take me a minute to get the transporter warmed up and ready.  I think you will love the zone I have in mind.  It's new and not even on the market yet.  But it's just... it's not exactly legal for you to go there right now."

"Whoa!" you say taking a step back backwards, "What do you mean it's illegal?  I'm not..."

Melody interrupts, "Hey no sweat!  I do this all the time for my more "special' customers."

"If you say so."

"Don't worry."  She winks at you.  You take it as it being alright she's doing this so you relax a bit.  Melody on the other hand knows she's lying to you.

"But...there's a small catch for me doing this for you."

You fold your arms on your chest, "Oh I see. What kind of a catch?"

"Well it's not easy doing this without getting caught you know.  Not only have I got to keep it hidden from security I gotta keep an eye on you and doing that with my normal duties is such a lot of work."

"Here I was thinking you're a sweet little girl." you rhetorically mock.

"A girls gotta have fun right?  And I can't do that on an empty purse." she says totally playing it up.

You think it over for a minute while she bats her pretty eyes at you.  Normally you won't be taken in by such foolishness.  However, this is not any run-of-the mill situation.  This young girl was about to make your dreams come true.  Of being in a world nobody has ever known about before.  Plus, add in the thrill of it being restricted.

"Alright fine!  Here." you hand Melody your Digi card, "Charge whatever you like on it.  Just don't get us caught or forget about me being in there."

She quickly grabs your card. "Thank you very much!  Hee hee!"  Her ear to ear smile makes you smile too.  

"So what is this new realm like anyway?  What makes it so... mysterious?"

"It's called Titan Realm." Melody responds as the as the panel on the door bings on, "That's all I know.  But you can choose one of five options there on the screen.  Each option brings you to a sub-option with further details upon what type of person you want to be along with the option to go back to choose someone else until you find the one you want to be.  Whoever you choose to be, you will be taking their identity and anything you do as them they will think they are making those choices themselves."

"That's so cool!"

"I know right?" Melody whole-heartedly agrees.  "You can do whatever you want and let them deal with it when you leave." 

"So awesome!  Ok soo... how do I get back when I’m ready to leave?"

"Just simply say out loud 'Eject Me Out' and you are transferred back here.  It's not a very common thing to say so you won't accidentally say it yet fast enough to say in case things get too hairy in there."

"Ok I think I got it.  Thank you." you confirm back as you turn to look over the panel.

"Good.  Now, I normally wait to make sure you transfer safely but I gotta go do my rounds.  Hope you understand.  Don't want to get any attention on us right?" she asks of you noticing your attention already weaning off of her.

"Oh... yeah... sure.  Go ahead.  I'll be fine." waving her off.

Smiling she starts backing away, "Ok bye.  Have fun!"

"Ha ha.  I’m sure I will.  See you."

Melody turns and leaves.  Soon as she is around the corner she peeks her head around one last time in your direction.  Sure enough, you were busy browsing the options before you.  Placing your card in her purse Melody revels in the fact you are blissfully unaware of the danger you are putting yourself in or in what she has done to the program to make sure she is never caught.  She almost feels guilty for what she has done but the prospect of unlimited spending on your dime eases that away.

"Sucker." she breathes under her breath before walking back to the lobby.

You read the brief description for Titan World and you cannot believe it.  Could it be true?  You re-read it several times with each time making you more and more amazed.  No wonder it hasn't come out to the public yet.  The implications of this world would be far reaching indeed.  Regular sized people living side-by-side with tiny four-inch people in a culturally complex society.  A peaceful, prosperous, and abundant world.  It is almost too good to be true.  You cannot describe how incredibly good this feeling is to go to this world and bring back the story of it to all your jealous friends.

Only thing to do now is choose who you want to be...

A.  Regular Male 

B.  Miniature Male 

C.  Regular Female 

D.  Miniature Female 

E.  (Readers’ Choice)

Chapter 1 

A message flashes on the door screen.

REALM Tours would like to thank you for choosing us for all of your off-world adventures.  In order for your experience in Titan Realm to be most enjoyable for you a list of choices has been provided below for your convenience.  Clicking on each choice will provide a more detailed biographical and situational location to which each one is currently.  Remember, you assume the role of the character you choose.  Enjoy your trip.

You gaze over the choices provided for you.  Each one is more amazing than the last.  You really don't know which you want to be.  Whether you're a regular size man or woman it would be interesting to see and hold a tiny person in your hands.  Better yet if you're a tiny man or woman how would you react seeing gigantic people everywhere?  You mule over which one would be the best pick.  Then you think of which one will impress your friends after you come back and it suddenly clicks for you.

You've always wondered what it would be like to be a woman.  Albeit a tiny one at that.  Choosing to be her would certainly be the most unique otter-realm excursion you could possibly imagine.  You already see the many looks of amazement and jealousy plastered on all of your friends faces.

You quickly confirm your selection.  You don't even take the time to read her bio or current situation.  You're excitement got the better of you.  If you only knew how much that fatal mistake will cost you in the days to come maybe you wouldn’t have been so quick to the draw.  Maybe.

Ding.

The lights dim.  Slowly.  Your hands move away from the tiny screen on the door and you look around confused.  A high-pitched wheezing starts. Gradually it increases in pitch.  Its shrill tone rings tightly in your ears making them feel as if you're ascending altitude.  You pop your jaw. Then again.  Now your eyes start watering as you try in vain to cover your ears.

You slip from your feet onto your knees.  The sound so intense you cannot even hear yourself screaming at the top of your lungs.  As you reach up that's when you notice the transparency of your hand.  You blink your eyes hard thinking it a delusion brought on by the pain in your ears.

Looking again you witness your whole arm fade out to nothing.  You strain to concentrate through the pain as you notice your other arm begin to vanish as well.  In a panic you fumble to your feet only to fall back down on your side.

Your legs.  They too have lost their visibility.  You scream.  Nobody hears you. Not even yourself.  The air goes thin.  You can't breathe.  Your vision goes tunnel bright then begins to dim altogether.  You find it hard to focus.  Why didn't any of your friends tell you you would go through something like this? Why?  The pain!  Can't think!  To feel anything at all.  Everything goes numb as you lose consciousness.

Then nothing.

Back in the main lobby Melody was already at work scheduling a lovely couple for a trip to Dino World for a hunt when she received an update via a beep on her wrist com that you have been transported to Titan Realm.  Taking a brief glance at the holo-screen display on her wrist com she reads the details of who you selected to be.  A wicked smirk arose upon her pretty face.  She knew then that she'd never have to worry about you ever again.  

Her hand runs down the side of her lap feeling your Digi-card in her pocket. What a fool she thinks to herself.  Giving her unlimited access to all your money.  Or should she say, all her money now.  Melody makes a reminder to go back before she logs off for the day to erase your transport info from the REALM database.

Sounds.  Unidentifiable.  Unrecognizable.  Un-locatable.  That is what you first become aware of as you gain your consciousness from the limbo of abyss. The sounds grow closer.  Louder.  The begin to draw you forth into the land of existence.  The intangible wavelength reeling you into the tangible world like a lifesaver.

Part of you wants very much to tow that line.  To escape the unfathomable darkness.  To be alive in the realm of the living once more.  You conjecture this is how ghosts must feel.  Forever craving to return to life.  Yet the other part of you fears that return.  Electing instead to let go. To fall back into the embrace of the one true certainty.  The nothing.  Free from thought and form. Just pure unknowing eternity.

You try to ignore the sounds.  Yes.  There is more than one now.  Not voices but they are rhythmic.  A steady in and out like the dimming and immerging lights.  Lights.  Yes there it is.  Not a bright shine.  Just a low glow gradually illuminating the void.  Try as you might there is no fighting it.  A force of momentum has started that cannot be ignored.  A chain reaction cascading like domino's compelling you towards full consciousness has begun and will not cease for anything.  There is no denying it no matter if you desire it or not.

You are waking up.

The mounting feeling of dread compounds on you like dirt falling in a grave.  The myriad of sounds, smells, lights, and shadows assault your senses all at once.  The more you try to fight them the more vivid the sensations become.  Almost as if someone is stealing you from your own coffin.  Beyond the point of no return you focus all of your strength into escaping the vacuum of emptiness.

A soft whistling intermittent with a heavy rustling flapping against something is the first sound that you distinguish.  You've heard it before somewhere in your memory.  A gentle washing of cool air brushes against your cheek.  You've felt this before too in your memory.  The ambient light against your still closed eyelids dances with he shadows.  You again recognize this from long ago in your memories.  The fragrant scent of lavender assails your nostrils.  Another fond memory deep within your mind.  The soft yet warm surface which you lay upon rises then falls smoothly.  You do not recognize this at all.

Your eyes open.

You find yourself somewhere unfamiliar to you.  Wherever you are you know you haven't ever been here before.  A long view of a peached tanned surfaces extends far off into the sloped horizon.  You have never been one to panic or feel a fear of anxiety before.   Things are definitely different now and you start to feel that cold sweat take its tight grip on you.

"I'm a... I'm a girl!" you whisper to yourself realizing your body looks different than it was before.

It worked!  You're actually someone different than you were before.  You can feel the change.  Did you change?  You can't remember if you were a man or woman before.  In fact, you find it hard to recall anything what happened before you woke up here.  You try hard to remember your own name but nothing comes to mind.  Maybe that was the side effect of being transported between realities and taking the identity of someone else.  Perhaps your memories came to you slowly.  At least you hoped they would.  You run your hands over your new body.  Tight skin over a toned body.  Your hair is short form the touch of it so you can't tell what color it is until you get to a mirror but one this is for sure; you have a bountiful chest.  Whoever you were you were thankful they kept in relatively good shape.

But the one thing you don't understand is why you are nude.  Did your character sleep this way?  What was her name?  Where was she?  What did she do for a living?  What was her family and friends like?  A whole slew of questions raced through your mind.  Questions you had wished you answered when you had the chance to read her bio before selecting her.  Maybe going in blind was not such a good idea.  Most importantly beyond any other question you could ask yourself is where was she now?

You sit up.  The ground is soft and pliable as you push against it.  It bends and stretches like a waterbed yet it doesn't slosh like water beneath the surface.  No.  Beneath this surface it seems as though more putty like yet stronger stuff courses.   'Is that right?' you think.

You feel the surface.  It's cool to the touch yet feels warm all the same.  Smooth with a soft beating underneath.  It almost feels like... but that can't be right?  You lean your ear down to it.  Thump, thump.  A moment passes.   Thump, thump.  There it is again!  That was a heartbeat!

You scurry backwards fast.  The flesh beneath you impeding your momentum like running on a wet beach.  The ground rises as you fumble rearward and you fall back on your back.  As you tumble to your side your face hits something stringy yet course.  Grabbing it to stabilize yourself you notice there are more of them around you on either side of you going farther up behind you.  You turn around.  Following the golden yellow ropes up your mouth drops in shock as you realize what they are and where you are at.

You are holding the blonde hair of some girl as you stand in the middle of her back looking up at the back of her head.  Your heart sinks as you drop her hair.  Suddenly you hear a moan and the humungous body below you stirs slightly.  She takes a deep breath.  You fight to keep your balance on your feet as the inhales then exhales heavily.

"What have I gotten myself into?" you say to yourself as her giant head turns to look back at you with one eye open.

"Mmm... oh!  Good morning Mistress.  Sleep well?"

Which of the options below should I continue from here?

A.  You own the regular size girl.

B.  She in fact owns you.
