'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.

For the next thirty minutes or so, Arthur ate his breakfast in complete silence. The atmosphere inside the kitchen turned colder noticeably. The words Mr. X had said resonated in his head continuously as he tried to finish his meal.

He didn't know why, but something about them felt off… Really off and in a very unconventional way. On the outside, they seemed like a noble reason.

'We wish to create heroes, huh? That shouldn't be a problem. Yet, why does it sound like one to me?' The more he thought about it, the more he frowned.

Heroes were supposed to be the good people and creating heroes means creating better people that can take care of the world and protect it. Ignoring the obvious question of 'Protecting the world from what?', Arthur had a bigger problem with this answer.
