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...

<p>The following battles were not challenging for Rhode's group at all. After all, this underground maze was just an ordinary location and any player could clear it by himself. Furthermore, Rhode had two companions alongside him and the Maze Zombies didn't stand a chance. These pitiful zombies had turned into Rhode and Anne's training props and it was equally a great chance for Anne to get accustomed to her newfound Wind Elemental prowess.</p>

<p>"Heyah!" The young lady dodged the counterattack of a Maze Zombie before swinging the heavy shield to crush its waist. Her powerful strength split the zombie in half and smashed the wall behind it. Anne stood up and took in a deep breath while Rhode nodded in satisfaction. "Well done. For your next target, aim for its head only. Remember, do not attack other parts of its body. If not, this will be considered a failure. Understood?"</p>
