'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.

Returning to the Village, Arthur was welcomed with a loud ruckus. All the players there were talking about what happened. Passing through, he listened to what they were saying.

'Hmph, I guess this was expected. This is going to make national news quickly.' He thought to himself. Although that sounded scary at first, it didn't feel as terrifying anymore. He was learning how to handle this new fame even if it didn't directly affect him.

'I'm living the life of a star… Without the fame part.' He laughed to himself as he strolled through the confused masses as if it was none of his business. If they realized that the person they were talking about had just passed by, they would think the world was laughing at them.

Yet, because Arthur was as inconspicuous as any average kid, he was immune to standing out. He liked that and didn't find any problem with it.
