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...

Many gazed in astonishment with their mouths wide open. Even though the strange-looking Ocean Elves had stunned them, the black figures were even more terrifying.

They were two-meters tall, enormous creatures like knights clad in heavy armor. Pitch-black, solidified lava formed their structure while scarlet lava flowed within the visible openings on their bodies.

They stepped out of the deck and the entire platform was in complete stillness. Everyone gazed at one another at a loss. Of course, they were concerned about Rhode failing to recruit 5000 soldiers. However, this was ultimately his own problem, so they couldn't gather any data even if they wanted to. But they didn't expect that the so-called 5000 soldiers were these terrifying creatures!

After a few moments, one of the knights stepped forward in large strides. He let out a snort.

"Mr. Rhode, I hope you can give us an explanation."
