'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.

"How many of you are left?" As they turned around and started walking, Arthur asked Deka curiously. From the bits and pieces of information he had, he was certain that it wasn't only two dead people.

The question made Deka visibly tense as if she was reminded of something truly horrible. But, she still exhaled and looked at Arthur. "Our squad was made of 20 people… Only 7 are left."

"..." Arthur was taken aback by the number. Stopping for a second, he stared at Deka silently. "13? 13 people have died??" He asked again. In his mind, Arthur expected 5 or at most 7 people to have met their demise. The fact it was double that number came out of nowhere.
