"THE NEW GATE" — an online game that turned into a life-or-death struggle — has finally begun releasing the tens of thousands of players trapped within it, thanks to the efforts of Shin, one of the oldest and strongest players. However, immediately after defeating the final boss and granting everyone their freedom, he was swallowed by a mysterious light. Shin woke up in the same game world, but 500 years into the future.

What will the world's strongest player choose now that this world has become his reality: will he search for a way back home, or will he decide to rewrite the history of a future where his name has long since become a legend?
