'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'.]

He stopped and looked to the side only for his entire body to freeze in place as if it was struck by lightning. After all, all he could see in the corner of his eyes was a message notification.

Immediately, his mind thought of all the possibilities. The message could only be sent by one of his friends since that was how the messaging system worked. It helped avoid spam and other unnecessary messages, especially toward popular players.

Arthur stared at the notification for a good 30 seconds before he exhaled a very long breath and closed his eyes. He tried to calm down before he slowly moved his hand to the button and opened it.

Much to his expectations, when he opened his eyes, he saw Isla's player nickname and their message tab open. She had sent him one single message and rather a long one compared to their usual interactions.

Arthur blinked slightly as he looked down at the message. 'She sent me another one…'
