'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.

The dark tunnel Arthur walked into immediately engulfed him, leaving him in a claustrophobic path with no exit aside from the one he came from. The atmosphere inside was humid, cold, and extremely eerie.

He could hear his steps echo around him every second, sounding almost distorted and distant. However, Arthur didn't bother with that as he kept his focus on his path, making sure nobody was going to ambush him from ahead or behind.

At the same time, he kept his eyes on the group chat, waiting for Danny and Emmy to respond. The two hadn't responded yet and that was starting to make Arthur worry. The others had also noticed that the two had went radio silent for no reason at all.

What made it even more confusing was the fact that their status bars didn't seem to be decreasing, indicating that they were not fighting or engaging an enemy. So, what could be the reason they weren't responding?
