'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.

Outside, it was complete mayhem. People rushed away from the building as they saw the fire rise higher and higher, engulfing an even bigger section of the building. The gas leaking spread everywhere, dragging the burning tongues of flames along with it.

Nobody could approach the source of the gas and nobody could stop the fire due to the extreme heat.

"Get the water! Get the goddamn water!!"

"Where is the gas valve?! How do we stop this?!"

Workers and guards alike tried to stop the disaster before all the building catches on fire but to no avail. They blasted it with water and fire extinguishers, trying to calm it down but nothing worked.

"They have gone to stop the gas leakage! We need to stop the fire!"

What was previously only the kitchen, was now the entire hallway, and the fire was pushing forward quickly. The smoke filled the corridors of the building, almost suffocating everyone inside.
