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...

As the alarm blared, fighter aircrafts took off in a formation of four, whistling toward the destination. The pilots prepared themselves quickly for the upcoming battle.

"Eagle Eye III, this is Eagle Eye I. We're heading to the destination. Maintain formation! Scan the radar and search for the target!"

"This is Eagle Eye II. Captain, what exactly did you say we're going to face? Those old dudes up there sure are panicky."

Gazing at the radar screen, the wingman asked in confusion. Even though the pilots had an emergency take-off, they weren't aware of their mission even until now. Their higher-ups commanded them to reach the destination and stop the intruders, but as for who the intruders were, they never mentioned it. Could they be foreign hostile aircrafts? Or was this just an exercise for a secret mission? The intruders shouldn't be aliens, right…?
