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...

Nell froze at the sight of the fluttering tentacles. Even though she wasn't a Mage, she knew what they were because there were no lack of chances to interact with magic in both Carlesodar City and the Country of Darkness. At that moment, Nell revealed some fear in her eyes but shortly after, she came back to her senses, let out a snort, and lifted her head proudly to shoot a look of disdain at the young man before her.

"I thought you were gonna be an interesting human. It seems like you're just a lustful dog. Hmph. Lowly human. You can do whatever you want with me, but you would be a fool if you think that I'd surrender. Do you think I will tell you everything that you want to know, you maggot?"

"You can't say it this way, Miss. Nell."

The smile on Rhode's face didn't change at all. On the contrary, it widened into a grin.
