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...

It was an equally disturbing night for Michael.

The senior read the report with bloodshot eyes and thick eyebrows that were knitted together. He slammed his fist on the table and the loud impact numbed his ears.

"Damn it!" He glared at his pale-faced subordinates. "Why am I only notified of such important news now!"

Michael learned that seven border patrol teams consisting of 140 militias had gone missing yesterday night. He was furious that no one had reported to him when it first happened…

Damn it, what have this bunch of bastards been doing?!

Michael wasn't aware that these Border Officers treated the countryside militias as unorganized and undisciplined, so it wasn't anything alarming to them since the militias could have gone home without informing then. However, they were worried when the teams failed to return one after another and they dispatched a few patrol teams to search for them. In the end, none of them returned!
