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...

Rhode finally got his answer after hearing Metzel's explanation. Although Delno was a Battle Angel in-training and the undead creatures by the entrance didn't pose a problem to them, this led these people into a dungeon which was out of their reach. Perhaps they would've retreated at the entrance if they didn't have a Battle Angel with them.

Rhode didn't doubt Metzel too much because when Rhode's group battled with the Necromancer BOSS previously, the Necromancer BOSS did summon a group of mercenary spirits and an Angel spirit against him. Yes… It seemed that they might be the captured ones…

"So then, what plans do you have next?" Rhode asked.
