'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...]

"Why… you ask? Hmm, well, it is very simple isn't it?" Nameless smiled widely as he stared at the pale boy. He was still in that euphoric state ever since he revealed the reality of the situation. In fact, in his head, Nameless couldn't stop himself from shaking out of pure excitement.


After all, nothing could've prepared him for the perfect person to knock on his door at the right time. Indeed, Arthur was the exact person he was looking for. Someone strong, talented, and smart, so that the process he was about to start would go as simply as possible.


"My goal is pretty simple, Persona." Ignoring the boy's dumbfounded look, Nameless continued speaking casually. "I want to break those chains and release the abomination of a God lurking in that darkness."


"... Wait, what?!" As if he had been struck by lightning, Arthur snapped out of his daze and looked at the masked man with wide eyes. "What the hell do you mean release that God? Are you insane?!"
