'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'.]

Isla looked exactly the same as the one he knew. From her beautiful face to every other feature she had, that was Isla through and through, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was seeing her in that place, Arthur would've immediately run to her.


However, there was one single detail about her that made Arthur realize that it wasn't Isla at all. It was her… vibe. Looking at the girl, Arthur didn't feel the same way he would feel whenever he saw the real Isla.


Usually, whenever he sees that girl, he has a sense of excitement and happiness. Her presence alone gave him more confidence and more hope, even in the worst times possible. She was a source of strength for him, unlike anything else he had ever experienced.
