The Stars of Jaxoras Are Beautiful

When the moon of Bixlam is taken over by aliens, it falls to the military of Jaxoras to take back their base and their moon for the glory of the empire! Those brave souls who dare to test their mettle on the battlefield do so to earn glory, and possibly, the hand of the fair Lady Xiva.
One such warrior is Jared Koenig, a high-schooler from Chicago trying out the new total-immersion virtual reality video game with his best friend, Layla. Jared, however, only has eyes for Layla, who does not seem to return his feelings. Then, an accident in the video game leaves Layla thinking that she is Lady Xiva, and is now only devoted to Jared. As the only thing she recognizes in this new world, Jared is asked to help Layla recover, and come back to her old self. Jared now faces the daunting task of rescuing his best friend from herself, while also having to contend with his own conflicted feelings.
