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>Rhode wasn't surprised that Shane organized this banquet. After all, the merchants in Highland City had to be reassured after witnessing the series of ghastly murders that occurred the past few days. Although Shane didn't need to rely on these merchants to increase his fortune, he could use this opportunity to showcase his authority and control of the city. On the other hand, the merchants would be comforted and wouldn't spread words that would impact Shane's position.</p>

<p>But it was the message that Shane had gotten the soldier to pass on to Rhode that was amusing.</p>
