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...

"Argh…" Rhode struggled to open his eyes. The blurry duskiness before his eyes left his head spinning and almost every part of his body from his limbs to internal organs seemed to be screaming sorrowfully with any slightest movement. Not only that, the soreness and gastric juices in his stomach surged and he almost threw up.

A flawlessly white radiance shone on him.

Rhode felt his body restoring itself. The tormenting pain was as though snow that melted under the intense heat of the merciful sun. Rhode let out a moan and his clear vision slowly returned.

"Ah, Leader, you're finally awake? That's great. I thought it was too late." Bubble's adorable face was the first to reflect in Rhode's eyes. She gazed at Rhode with round, widened eyes and heaved a glad sigh. Rhode looked over the other side and found Canary's slightly stern expression turning into a smile.
