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.

There was a three storey library sitting quietly inside the tower under the shade of trees. The rather old, broken walls were filled with crawling vines and leaves, giving a rare, peaceful atmosphere to the place. Rhode pushed the door open and saw a petite figure reading a book. The little girl lifted her head curiously and revealed a grin.

Rhode gazed at the surroundings. This quiet library was part of the tower. He heard from the elder that this was the cultural treasure-trove of the Senia Family, and no one had visited here for a long time. On the contrary, Christie seemed to like it here, which she often came here for the books. What surprised him was that even though the books weren't written in the general language, Christie didn't have any problems reading them. But after considering the other half of her soul inside her, it didn't really seem impossible.

Another half of her soul…
