In English, the title means Adventure, War, Resurrection. Which is precisely what this story is about.
17 year old Payton Arlon has always been an introvert when it comes to the real world, but in the gaming world, she lets go of her cares and can really be herself. She finds herself extremely drawn to a virtual reality fantasy game, with a supposed cash prize of an unknown amount.
However, this is no ordinary game. This game requires strength of the mind, and dedication. The players are trapped in the game until they reach the end and defeat the final level, or until they die and are returned to their world. This game is built around teamwork and trust between six people randomly selected to be in a party.

The Last Phoenix (book 1)
Ren is a quiet teen in a small New Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy.

Avatar - Me and the Devil.
I wasn't special, I wasn't a marine or a scientist sent here from earth to study Pandora, I was a behaviorist-some say behaviorists are scientists too; but the brain isn't made up of mathematics and hope, it's like the roots of trees. Forever speaking but unheard. I study people's brains and their behavior. I don't look at it with hope and faith. I'm nothing special, not really. When I was accepted to help with Project Pandora, I was exhilarated. This was my big break, something to get me out there. I never expected for it to spiral into my life unprofessionally-become personal, emotional. That I would have to fight in a war between man and alien, choose between my own people and a clan of beings that accepted me-welcomed me, trained and made me one of them. This wasn't supposed to become personal, but it did.Complete
