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...

Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode was glad that his younger sister was the only one keeping watch, or else his life's work would be over. He forgot the fact that the core projections would absorb the sub-personalities after killing them, which meant that he would also take in his other self after slaughtering him. But what he didn't expect was for his other self to manifest after being absorbed. This left Rhode feeling helpless and upset.

Well, these were trivial matters, after all. The most important thing was the relationship between him and the holy sword card spirits. Even though this experience lasted only one night, to his subjective consciousness, he felt as if months had passed. Thus, after exchanging pleasantries with his younger sister, he couldn't wait to send her away. But when he saw her smile before she left, he knew that this would become part of his dark past…

But at least she's my younger sister, so she can't possibly use that against me, can she?
