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...

With a great deal of effort, Rhode finally eased the fire that almost broke out. He also took this opportunity to get a general idea of the function of the Phantom Guardian.

As described in the system prompt, both Canary and Mini Bubblegum retained their original levels from Dragon Soul Continent Online, which was level 85. Canary was the top player of the 'Elemental Mage' class, while Mini Bubblegum was the top player of the 'Holy Cleric' class. Although the lack of equipment had reduced their stats, they were still top-notch beings in the current Dragon Soul Continent, and as long as the opponent wasn't on the same level as they were, there would be no threat whatsoever.

As for their memories, just as the description suggested, both of them only retained what Rhode could remember. It should work like that; besides, the Sphere of Mystery was projecting their image based on Rhode's memory.
