'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.

After sitting there for a while, Arthur stood up and silently left the garden. His mind was still thinking about the interaction between him and Isla and it only made him feel more and more bitter.

He blamed himself for overstepping his boundaries and for thinking he was already at the level where Isla could tell him everything about her life. She had known the others for years while he was only there for a month or less. There was no base for comparison.

Arthur was a friend, perhaps even a dear friend. But, Isla still didn't see him as someone close enough to her to let him know about her life in depth. Everything Lamenter said was right.

That hit Arthur hard, harder than anything else. These were his very first friends and they didn't fully trust him yet. If that were the case then what could happen if they disagree, argue, or even worse, find themselves in a situation where their interests clash?
