'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.

Although Arthur was maintaining the barrier with his mana, he was still strong enough to hold the mercenary before he could fall to his demise. His strength stat had come in clutch when he needed it the most.

"Arthur!!" Deka approached him in a hurry as she crouched down, trying to help him pull her companion up. "Help us here!" Her yell snapped the rest of the group out of their daze and made them move quickly as they grabbed the man from his arms and dragged him up.

"Thank you… Hah… Thank you!" Exhaling a long breath of relief, the man thanked them profusely. "I thought I was about to die!"

"Don't worry about it." Arthur stood up and looked away. "Dying that way would be really painful."

"..." The man instinctively shifted his gaze to stare at the fall behind him. Down there, the flood had turned the entire area into a raging ocean of waves. The horrifying scene made his heart sink. 'If I fell… I would've been crushed to pieces.' He mused.
