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...

Along with the energetic greeting, Mini Bubble Gum strolled out of the fog as Canary followed closely behind her. After a few moments, the rest also arrived one after another. As members of Rhode's elite squad, every one of them possessed solid strength, so no one was sacrificed when they sneaked around the Chaos army. In just a few breaths, all elite members were gathered, arriving behind Rhode and standing by to go.

"Seems like everyone is fast on their feet, huh."

Looking at this scene, Mini Bubble Gum couldn't help but blow a whistle. She squinted and scanned the fog casually.

"Huh, why isn't Little Icy here? Don't tell me she was killed? How pitiful. Back then, I knew Little Icy shouldn't have chosen the archer class. Sigh, perhaps her 'corpse's still warm'… What a tragedy. I knew she had a poor sense of direction…"

"You used that proverb wrong, Bubble. Besides, I've been here for a long time!"
