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...

Summoning the Holy Sword

Marlene gazed at her other self sternly as she sensed an unprecedented, murderous aura that was so ice-cold it wrapped around her tightly. Although Marlene was experienced in such dangerous battles, she felt as though she was held in the hand of a monster like a defenseless chick and all she could do was watch the monster widen its mouth and devour her completely.

Marlene gnashed her teeth and clasped the sword in her hand, holding it before her. At the next moment, she lost control over her body as though to the effects of extreme fear.

Marlene widened her eyes in shock, gazing at her body which she didn't know had fallen to the ground. There was a ghastly, bloody wound on her right arm. She stared blankly at her arm and her head was blank. She couldn't remember when she got hurt or why she was on the ground. As she slowly lost her consciousness, immense pain consumed her.

"I didn't expect you to dodge it."
