'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...]

The first shriek quickly turned into several in less than a moment. Instantly, Arthur found himself hearing these noises from every single direction.


"Great, we have company." Arthur clenched his teeth as he pulled his sword out. "Take formation, now! We are surrounded!" 


Germa quickly instructed the team, and they quickly protected the vital cores of the group. They were all trained to act that quickly, and they did it without a hitch. Spreading around the area, they covered every single angle.


Their eyes couldn't see, but with the darkness around them, there was really no point in using vision as it was completely obstructed. Instead, their sharp senses were their eyes and their guiding hand.


The shrieks of the monsters loudened, and it didn't take long for the first attack to take place. Several silhouettes appeared out of nowhere, attacking the western side of the group's defensive front.
