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...

Old Walker left the alley in grumbles. Rhode stood on the spot and observed in silence as the old man disappeared into the crowd. The Midsummer Festival hadn't ended yet and Golden City, known as a city that never slept, had bustling nights while relaxing music played from the bars. Not only that, but the streets were also filled with vibrant, festive decorations.

Rhode admired Golden City's night scenery for a few moments before heading out of the alley. At this moment, a shadow flitted by behind him.

While exiting the alley, Rhode pulled up his hood to conceal his face. He reached a bar named 'Midnight Beauties' within a few minutes and without much hesitation, he pushed the wooden doors open.

Then, the melodious sound of music and clamor flooded him.
