Rhode is a legendary guild leader of the most influential guild in the VRMMO, Dragon Soul Continent. In order to cope with the death of his beloved sister, he dived into the game for seven long years. During this period, Rhode tries his best to alleviate his emotional pain through gaming, but alas, his life shatters once more when he heard his parents perish in a plane crash.

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.

And thus, a player who had been creating legends in the game for three eras disappeared just like that...

Many mercenary group leaders were tense because they knew the Mercenary Joint Conference was only be held when there were important matters to address. Everyone knew the reason for the previous meeting, but what was it going to be this time? Could it be that something had happened? Or someone among them had broken the rules?

Most of the mercenary group leaders didn't immediately respond to the invitation. Instead, they swiftly checked on their mercenaries to make sure that they didn't commit any punishable acts before returning to Deep Stone City for this second Mercenary Joint Conference.

Although they weren't sure what exactly was going on, the mercenary group leaders let out inward sighs of relief after seeing the smile on Sereck's and the elderly president's faces. Fortunately, the situation wasn't as bad as they had imagined. If not, both of them wouldn't be able to force out a smile.
