When Gamer G.I.R.L. meets Gamer Girl, the shenanigans begin. In the late twenty-first century, immersive virtual reality has become actualized. The Dream Machine, a device that quite literally lives up to its name, gives its users access to a new landscape of virtual realms—foremost among them the flagship game of the developers, Panarena Fantasy Online. Into this world, a teenage boy named Sean Daniels enters on the night of his fifteenth birthday. The typical gamer-slash-schoolkid, his experiences in games is second to none—and his notorious alter-ego is known across the pre-VR virtual realms; but unlike his real self, this virtual self is a femme fatale assassin. And on that fateful night, he enters Panarena as yet another version of her: Lana Windstrider. Here, he encounters Ariana, a genuine female player, who strikes up a friendship with Lana at once, and they become quickly dependent on each other as back-up in the game. But on Monday, Sean runs into a young lady named Rachel at his school, quickly realizing that she is Ariana, the very girl he has befriended as Lana in-game. How soon will his secret be found out? And how will Rachel-Ariana react to the news that her best friend in game is the same as her new friend at school? And what sort of adventures lie before the two of them afterward? The answers await in this first volume of “My Life As A Gamer G.I.R.L.--Guy in Real Life”!
