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...

Everyone including Rhode was surprised. Frankly speaking, even though everyone sympathized with the pitiful young lady, they didn't feel anything more than that. It was just like when one watched an actor on television who suffered hardship; everyone would at most lament with a statement such as "Ah, how pitiful. It isn't easy living such a horrible life…", since they were only strangers coming together by chance. As a guild and territorial leader, Rhode had plenty on his hands to handle and he wouldn't care about a pathetic NPC.

He thought that this matter had come to an end. But it seemed that the young lady's family had other ideas. Do they think that I'm running an online store and provide free merchandise return?
