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>"Lize, strengthen the defense! Everyone, don't look at the octopus's eyes. Lower your heads and kneel on the ground! Marfa, Anne, and team leaders, be aware of your surroundings. If any idiot goes berserk, knock him out immediately! Bow Knights, focus all your attacks on its eyes. Everyone, don't step out of the Order barrier! Lize, heal Bell right now. We need the strength of Order inside her to solidify our defense!"</p>

<p>Rhode gave the series of commands in one go. The strength of Order more or less had something to do with Bell's condition. Although she wasn't physically hurt in this latest teleportation, she was incredibly weak and became unconscious. The Clerics could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, but it would be safer for everyone if Bell could restore her strength even by a little bit.</p>
