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...

Standing before Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were a dozen spell casters clad in magical robes and holding staffs. Most of them were middle-aged men. There was a symbol of three keys embedded on their black robes with red floral edges, representing the three doors of wisdom. They held identical brass staffs with a ruby on the tips. They also wore sharp black magic hats and seemed powerful.

If Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were others, they would have frozen to the spot because in the entire Light Mainland, only the Mage Guards of the Royal Magic Association had this symbol. The Mage Guards were in charge of dealing with spell casters who violated the creed and commandment. Unlike Mages who stayed home and researched about magic spells, Mage Guards were true experts. Besides, they were cruel and ruthless. In the entire Light Mainland, almost no spell casters would remain indifferent when facing them.

Yes, almost… Because Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were the exceptions.
