'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.

The ice spear slowly broke into small shards as Arthur struggled to hold on. His face was riddled with beads of sweat as he tried to climb on top of it to at least be able to jump to safety. However, he knew that every single small movement he could make could snap the ice and then he would fall to the abyss beyond.


Luckily for him, the rain of monsters eventually stopped after several dozen of them fell to their death. So, he didn't have to worry about another monster dragging him down with it.


"Come… On… I just need to be calm…" He exhaled audibly before he held on with a better grip on the sword. What made the task even harder was the fact the sword's handle was small, so it didn't fit two hands, and he was forced to use his right arm to hold on to it.
