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>When Rhode opened the bedroom, the first thing to come into his view was Lilian's thin, pale face. She wore thin pajamas, hugging her knees and curling up on the bed. She stared at the floor in a daze. No one knew what exactly she was thinking about. Or perhaps, she wasn't thinking of anything. Christie and Bell accompanied her, but Rhode didn't count on them to enlighten Lilian. At such a down period, it was always better to have someone by her side. If Lilian were all alone, the crazy thoughts could even lead her to commit suicide. Christie and Bell turned to the opening door and stood up after seeing Rhode.</p>

<p>They went up to him, while Rhode gazed at them. He stroked their hair and asked, "How is Lilian?"</p>
