'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.

Reaching the hotel room, Arthur realized that he was the first to arrive at the destination. There, he found Finlay, Serko, and Sora waiting for them patiently. 


The two dwarves greeted him with happy smiles as they jumped on him at the same time. Arthur felt warmth in his heart seeing the two kids being as energetic as ever. Hugging them back lightly, he asked.


"Hahaha, sorry for making you wait. We had some stuff to do." He apologized before he shifted his gaze to the silent girl in the corner of the room. Sora was as quite as usual, staying in her own corner, detached from everyone else.


Arthur already knew that she didn't really trust them completely but the girl was also very shy and reserved. He had no intention of pushing her out of her cocoon yet. The girl was traumatized and she needed time to heal.
