'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.

Continuing to walk through the entire place, Finlay and Serko showed Arthur and the others all their works from the very first prototypes to the latest versions they created. Each iteration and each version would be better than the previous one and more polished.

They improved the main wings, the main body, the design, and even the energy consumption. However, they still faced one massive problem. No matter how much they improved the design, they simply didn't have enough monster cores to make it run properly.

"How many monster cores does it take for these aircrafts to actually fly out of the forest?" Arthur asked the two as he ran his hand across the wood with a thoughtful look.

"... We don't really know. Our calculations say that… It requires a lot. Potentially hundreds or even thousands of weaker monster cores to fully fuel this craft for long enough to leave the forest." Finlay replied.
