'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...]

Germa felt his heart almost jump out of his chest as all the tension in the room grew quickly. His senses told him that something very wrong was happening. How could this person know who he was? There was simply no way a monster could know his name. Yet, the way this thing talked, it indicated that it was indeed a human... Or at least pretends to be human.


He sucked in a deep breath, trying to keep whatever was left of his composure. If he panicked, this person might do something to him.


"You're never one to panic, Germa." The heavily deep voice replied. "The calm nature you had led you to this point. What a waste it would be if that disappears now when you're faced with death."
