'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.

My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

It happened in a moment when Arthur didn't expect it at all. He was completely occupied with his own thoughts, yet, out of nowhere, his senses and mind were pulled toward that feeling as if they were getting dragged by force.

Something in that corner stimulated his senses so powerfully that he had to double-check if there was even an enemy of sorts. But, what he saw there was not what he expected.

Blinking slowly, Arthur moved from his spot and approached the corner, his eyes completely focused on the object as if it were the only thing available in the room. Everything around him turned into a blur in a split second. Arthur forgot about Merry and even his purpose for visiting her shop.

"Arthur?" Merry looked up when she noticed Arthur acting weird. However, the boy didn't respond to her and continued walking to his target till he stopped in front of it.
