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...

"Anne, activate the King's Protection!"

Rhode commanded. Anne stood up instantly and leapt off the altar with the steel shield in her hands. The mechanical gears inside the shield cranked and the shield changed its form where a white shield emerged from within. Anne plunged it into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, countless silver lines erupted from the shield and formed a crystal-clear barrier that shrouded the altar. At the same time, Chaos Beings crashed onto the shield like menacing waves.

Anne's footing shook, but held on with all her might. Rhode heaved a sigh of relief.

Despite Anne's strength, she couldn't possibly resist that many Chaos Beings. The terrifying part about Chaos Beings was their strength. Moreover, the Chaos attribute in them would contaminate everything that they touched. If Anne got into contact with them, she would be corrupted from her body to her soul entirely. Fortunately, Anne had a trump card.
