A month after the incident, he made a decision to quit the game and return to the real world. But just before that, as a final farewell, Rhode decides to fight the most powerful BOSS in the game with his guildmates. In the end, he defeats the BOSS at the expense of his avatar's life. Rhode smiles as his avatar dissipates in a beam of light. However, instead of respawning at the usual platform...

"W-wha...!"

Rhode shot up and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.

<p>In the end, Kavos and the others brought the contract Rhode had given them and left. Beside the yearly term of the contract, almost everything was the same as with other mercenary groups. Of course, Rhode wasn't expecting them to agree to it immediately. When Kavos left, he asked for Rhode's permission to bring the contract back so he could discuss with his subordinates and see whether they wanted to accept or not. They made this kind of decision because they saw that the terms written in the contract were indeed fair. After reading it carefully, they admitted that it was a very persuasive contract and not a slave contract as they had previously imagined. If Rhode could fulfill the terms in the contract, then they also wouldn't mind it.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Rhode had forgotten about these pitiful men after they left because he had more important things to do.</p>
