'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.

Mr. X then took a moment of silence to let the group take everything in. After that, he continued. "As you were told also, you are going to be living within the academy grounds from day one. We have built all the facilities that would make your stay enjoyable and hopefully long-lasting. However, we are going to confiscate all your electronics including phones, laptops, tablets, earphones, and other things. Be at ease though since we are going to give you devices to replace them."

Arthur lifted his hand when Mr. X finished speaking. The man looked at him before he said. "Do you have a question, Mr. Arthur?"

"Yes. Are we not allowed to contact the outside world when we're there?"

"..." Mr. X squinted his eyes for a moment. "The short answer to that is: yes. You are not allowed to contact the outside world as long as you're on the island."
