'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.

"I see that you made your choice," Yonathan said as he looked at Arthur. "I believe you took the right step there, child. This particular technique is something even the strongest of all humans would wish to have, and what you have seen of it is nothing but a fraction of its true potential."


"Wait, really? It could get even better than that?" Arthur blurted out. 'I could not see them even more. How can it get any better?!' 


If Arthur was told that this technique's full potential was exactly what he had seen, he would've still been eager to have it. Yet, it was not even a fraction of it. Arthur felt a rush of excitement fill his mind.


"But that also doesn't mean that achieving that potential is easy. In fact, out of all the people who learned Exo-Burst across history… No one was able to unlock its full potential. Some got very close to it, but one way or another, they could never breakthrough to the next level."
