'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...]

For the first hour or so, the trip was very quiet and smooth. Arthur and the others didn't encounter anything dangerous or out of the ordinary, and it put the boy at ease. He wished for this particular trip to go as smoothly as possible until they reached the floating island.


He knew that he would need every single person alive before walking into that place. He knew that as much as he hated it, the chances of people dying were extremely high, and he wanted to minimize the losses as much as possible.


'This is the entire goal of the trip, to minimize losses and make sure I can save as many people as I can. Well, that's a lot easier said than done.' Arthur exhaled a small breath of exhaustion as he looked up.


The scenery hadn't changed much from the moment they left except for the shipwrecks starting to become more scarce in number, indicating that they were slowly leaving the graveyard.
