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...

"T-This is…!" The Lich widened its eyes in shock as the overwhelming scarlet flames erupted on Rhode's right hand and extended along the viper-like sword towards its arm. The Lich retreated immediately. At the same time, its dull gems glittered in a mysterious magical radiance and formed an inverted triangle as the Lich turned illusory. In an instant, its body distorted strangely while glinting flames shrouded it.

Boom! Along with an ear-deafening explosion, the Lich had been shrouded entirely in the inferno of flames. However, this apparently wasn't able to end the Lich's life because it charged out of the flames almost instantly and miserably. The Lich was no longer composed; instead, it was feeling emotions that it hadn't experienced—fear, panic, and astonishment.
