Upside Down Chapter 1

Hi Folks! Welcome! I hope you enjoy the novel .

It's been a really long time since I wrote anything, so don't be too harsh okay? This is also the very first Gender Swap story I have ever written .  Saying it's been a challenge, not to mention a lot of fun, to write this is putting it far to mildly .

I will say this, if you are expecting a Gender Bender novel where the MC fights tooth and nail to hold on to his manhood, you will be sorely disappointed .  I know a lot of people believe that in gender benders the MC must fight to hang on to who they were because well, isn't that the point of a genderbender? I suppose that depends on your point of view . Regardless, I have had a lot of good feedback on the novel so far and I do hope you approach it with an open mind .  

I'm always open to suggestions, so if you have some send them . I rewrote a large portion of a chapter due to them . Suggest away! You won't hurt my feelings . Even if you just have an idea for a chapter you want to discuss, you can message me, either on here or on my discord server .

Thanks and I hope everyone has a lot of fun reading this!

I have gotten several messages asking for more information about the setting . Sorry, I thought I had pretty much explained things in the first few chapters, but I suppose not well enough .

So, with that in mind, here is a short rundown:

The current year is 2058 and this is set in Japan .

In 2047 a super-virus spread like wildfire around the world, killing 90% of the world population in just a few, short years .

Far more men than women have died from the virus . The male to female ratio is now 1 to 2 . 1 .

Although, most of the remaining women are infertile due to the effects of the virus .

Abortion is illegal in every corner of the world .

Crimes against fertile women are dealt with swiftly, harshly, and most often, fatally for the perpetrator .

The world's population is less than 700 million .

Children are considered national resources . All middle and high schools are shut down around Japan after the National Academies are established, which are placed in a large city in each prefecture . All middle and high school students must attend these academies and most live in the on-campus dorms . (Think of The Asterisk War or A Certain Magical Index type schools)

Daiki and Ai Ito, a Japanese husband and wife research team, were considered to be the brightest hope for a solution, until they were killed in a lab accident .

It's now 2058, 11 years after the onslaught of the super-virus, and research desperately continues for an answer .

Hope this helps somewhat .
