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...

<p>Nell had never tasted such great pain before. As a warrior, she believed that she had experienced enough interrogation and torture. But she never expected this day—the distinct pain that turned her head completely blank. She had as though abandoned all her pride and rationality and reacted to it like an ordinary living creature.</p>

<p>Nell's eyes rolled and her stiffened body shuddered. She stuck her tongue out her wide-open mouth and saliva flowed from its corner. Her horrible shrieks turned into indistinct, distressing moans while the pitch-black tentacles gripped and twisted her ample chest. This double punishment left her head in a blank. Her screams turned into pleads for this suffering to end.</p>
