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...

"Her Highness Lydia's attack is so magnificent…"

Gazing at this scene, Mini Bubble Gum gasped in admiration. Canary stood beside her, lifted her head, and gazed at the starry sky.

"Yea, powerful and magnificent as always… That's Her Royal Highness Lydia for you…"

"… Alright, you two can stop escaping reality now."

Although Rhode criticized them, his expression was equally as ashen as theirs. The reason was simple. Right in front of them, a 300-kilometers-wide hole had opened up on the somewhat flat moon's surface. The entire headquarters of the Americas Region was uprooted, not to mention the Chaos Nest. They turned into ashes without leaving behind any traces. Rhode wanted Lydia to go all out on her attack, but this was… forget it. It was still better than her destroying the entire moon.

This matter has blown up. Looks like we'll have some troubles ahead.
