'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.


[Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.]

As he was walking through the settlement, Arthur noticed the palpable tension amongst the mercenaries. Everyone had a deep frown on their faces, indicating that the situation wasn't good at all.

'Is this really that bad? I'm sure this isn't the first time something like this happened, no?' Arthur asked himself as he watched their expressions curiously. Although the death of 40 people was a tragedy, this tower constantly killed people so it shouldn't be this… bad?

'I feel like a scumbag thinking this way.' He shook his head with a sigh as he found himself in front of the gates. There, he noticed that the number of guards was double the usual number and all the guards looked stiff and alert as if they were awaiting something.

Noticing Arthur approaching them, one of the guards approached him slowly.

"What is your business here?" He asked.

"I'm leaving the settlement and heading north," Arthur replied. "Open the gates for me."
