'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 was surprised to see what the four items were. There was a black breastplate, a pair of dark boots and greaves, and a dark helmet. The final item was the sword the monster used in battle.


"Interesting, it gave me its armor set and its weapon. Actually, I have been looking for armor wasn't I?" He muttered to himself thoughtfully. "This could be really good, actually."


Tapping on the breastplate, the heavy object fell into his hand, almost making him stumble forward. However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at it.


"Ok, it isn't in a bad condition, even though I have damaged it a little." He said. There were some traces of damage here and there, but the item seemed to be in good condition.


Description: A black breastplate, forged from the Dragon Realm Obsidian. For one of these ores to be formed into armor, it is said to take a month of hammering. It is not rare, but it is certainly a powerful armor.
