'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'.]

[Assimilation Started...]

Arthur's body slammed into the ground with a loud thud, knocking the breath out of his lungs. A large cloud of dust and debris formed around him due to the impact. His eyes widened as he gasped for breath.


At the same time, the monsters lunged on him again, not sparing a moment to try and kill him. Their bloodlust was at a whole different level, and the boy could feel it quite well. The more he killed off them, the more the others grew more hostile and aggressive, attacking him in larger numbers than he could handle.


Immediately, the pressure increased several-fold on Arthur as the attacks became harder and harder to dodge. His Exo-Burst skill became the sole thing working non-stop for him. He knew that if he even stopped for a moment, he would be dead. Using every ounce of speed he had, he kept dashing in every direction, using his instincts to dodge the attacks.
