'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.

Arthur stood there for a moment, taking everything in, trying to wrap his head around it. He was truly speechless. Divinity Online had finally shown him a very ugly side to the Divine Realm. This world that looked heavenly on the outside hid such a horrifying truth in its darkness.

The fact that this world looked that beautiful and yet had these extremely horrifying sights felt quite ironic. However, at the same time, Arthur quickly understood that all of this was not really something new.

Even in the real world, such an ugly side existed and was very much prominent everywhere. The Divine Realm simply took that and amplified it to another degree and then served it in the form of a game.

Reaching that realization, Arthur shook his head as he tried to regain his composure. 'This… This is evil… This is the work of a devil…'
