'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...]

The moment Arthur yelled, his aura exploded violently, sending large waves of mana in every direction. The entire atmosphere in the castle shifted as if it was hit by a strong storm. A very ominous feeling crept through every corner of the large place.


Arthur's face had lost all innocence and kindness and was replaced with pure, unfiltered rage. For a moment, one could even see a hint of evil lurking within his red eyes.


"Who the hell are you?! Speaking like you've got some divine purpose! You're nothing, you hear me? You're just a crazy person who thought they were chosen by a higher being. Nobody would choose you, weirdo!" He yelled loudly, spit coming out of his mouth. Then, he pointed his finger at the man. "You're trying to justify murdering innocent people for your perverted fantasy. If that's not psychopathic, then I don't know what is!"
