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...

Darkness and light enveloped the entire world.

Rhode looked up at the sky engulfed in darkness in the near distance. Darkness and light were separated distinctively as though an invisible barrier had divided them. Even though they were only a barrier apart, the scenery was entirely different.

At that moment, he heard footsteps on the thick layer of snow. He turned around and saw Celestina approaching him grudgingly. She had put on a relatively lightweight costume, but was as luxurious as usual. Apart from that, a thick, plush cape also draped over her shoulders and hung behind her. She appeared a little pale and upon detecting Rhode's gaze, she glared fiercely. But Rhode shrugged and turned his gaze away as she looked as though she was putting up a deceptive show of strength. Celestina gritted her teeth and let out a sneer of disdain. Of course, Rhode acted like he didn't hear it.
