'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 screech stopped the entire process as they all turned around to the source of the noise. It was coming from a good distance away, but it was close enough for them to recognize where it came from.


"Human Chimeras…" Arthur muttered as his expression darkened visibly. "Not now, for God's sake. Everyone, continue moving! We don't have any time to waste! All the combatants, form a defensive shield around the pillar, we must protect it at all costs!" 


As he said those words, what was one shriek turned into several ones coming from several different directions. Quickly, the combatants of the group formed a line around the pillar, pulling their weapons out to get ready for the battle.


They didn't know how many Human Chimeras were approaching them, but they quickly realized that the number wasn't small by any means. In fact, as they stood there, the screeches kept increasing in numbers, reaching a ridiculous rate.
