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...

Although Rhode felt bad because he was unable to cure Christie's illness, except for that, everything still went smoothly. After the banquet finished, the Head of the Mercenary Association, Ton, had officially admitted Rhode's Starlight mercenary group, which was to be called the Starlight mercenary guild, to be in charge of mercenaries within the Paphield region.

"Mr. Rhode Alander, on behalf of the Mercenary Association, I officially announce that from today on, Starlight will be promoted to a mercenary guild. I hope you can inherit the will of our mercenaries and move forward bravely."

Ton handed an exquisitely crafted sword to Rhode, and Rhode bowed down and respectfully took over the sword. This was a symbol that a mercenary group had been promoted to a guild. It also meant that from now on, Rhode and his team would officially become the leader of all mercenaries in the Paphield Plains.
