'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.

Reaching the end of the page, Arthur slowly closed the book as he stared dazedly at the title. He was still contemplating what he just read, trying to figure out what this feeling was. He really didn't understand why he was this affected by this story.

Perhaps because Arthur saw himself in that hero. That desire to be an adventurer, to explore, and to live life to the fullest. That was also Arthur's dream and something he wanted his entire life so when he saw the hero working toward that goal, he cheered for him silently.

Yet, the hero's dream ended tragically and he couldn't even die without any regrets. That was not easy to swallow. What if Arthur ends up in the same situation? What if all his dreams would come to an end in an unexpected manner?

Whether it was in the Divine Realm or the real world, everything could happen and Arthur wasn't immune to mistakes. In fact, Arthur had made a lot of mistakes throughout his journey and he learned from those mistakes.
