'Divinity Online'. The new breakthrough in the Full-Immersion Virtual Reality technology. After decades of work, Divinity Corp had achieved the impossible. Creating a massive video game world that people can enter and live in as if it were Earth. Their goal was clear, to create a world other than Earth that we can call home.


A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely.


Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before.


Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July.

Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem.


He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines.

Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far.


[Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.]

[Assimilation Started...]

A voice penetrated through the silence, catching everyone's attention. They looked up only to see Elise's energetic expression as she stopped in front of the table. She looked rather perturbed for some reason but she was hiding it all behind her usual smile.


"Mm, I'm sorry for disturbing your lunch, I was looking for Arthur around and they told me that he didn't attend school today either. Is he ok?" She asked curiously. This was the second day she learned that Arthur didn't attend and that raised several alarms in her head.


At first, she assumed he was sick or perhaps had some kind of matter to deal with, but two days was far from normal especially knowing how important it is to attend class. They were not that far away from their next test and not being present would cause a huge gap.
