Whenever there are Guilds, there are those who walk alone.
They can be fools, loners, outcasts, or criminals.
But there are also those, who choose to walk alone.
In the world of YGGDRASIL, there were few who were as famous as the Reaper of Souls, Malthael. A veteran gamer whose power made him a threat to even the greatest Guilds, and who has been playing the game from day 1.
But when YGGDRASIL comes to its end, Malthael finds himself in a new world entirely.
One may ask, how will Malthael fare in this new world?
But the true question, is how will this new world fare?
With the Angel of Death walking upon it's soil?
She did not expect to live for very long. Her heart was dying after all. But, after logging into Yggdrasil to see it for the last time before the servers shut down, she wakes up to find herself still in the game. Only, everyone is acting more alive than their programming allows.
So now, in a new body that doesn't hurt anymore, she just want to live and enjoy her new life with her friends in Nazarick.
Her other body was dying along with her old home anyway. She has no reason to want to go back.
