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...

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>The silver flames gradually extinguished as the pitch-black liquid vanished within.</p>

The surging flames on the altar became much dimmer. Rhode heaved a sigh of relief after witnessing the Spirit Warriors disappear entirely. But this wasn't the time for him to feel relaxed. Even though the lackey had been completely annihilated, Rhode wasn't that naive to think that he was the final boss in this area. His final goal was to complete the mission and make his way back safely!</p>
