By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAoiWy9VFlSN

There was a sloping area covered in green grass. The sun was still high in the sky, so it might still be early afternoon. The wind blew through the grass, giving it the appearance of green water; a wave of grass flowed in my direction as I sat atop a large rock. The smell of moist soil and the grass mixed with the wind, and the fragrance drifted into my nostrils. The wind carried to the forest behind me, rustling the leaves on the trees.2046Please respect copyright.PENANABfCXPPFcLO
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAB2OU8n6cvM
I stand up unintentionally from the rock which I had sat on, and fix my eyes on the overwhelming expanse of the horizon. A view such as this couldn’t easily be seen in little old Japan, could it?2046Please respect copyright.PENANApMG9qPxk54
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAXFmAayYOGK
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA57McZVFaMC
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAec2LZpLZd1
Decorated with the finest of details, a silver full body armor toned with white and blue, akin to those from some myth or legend, adorned my body.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAS3vovDNXFq
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAW2YzlvFzGr
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAf77pWespNP
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAiquiy1kvfK
On my back I carry a large round shield with an elaborate emblem in the center, as well as what can only be described as a divine blade which gave off an awe-inspiring aura.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAxe2lI6DZcm
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAKlKDfhNzES
This gear is far apart from my normal appearance, but I know it well. Even today, before I fell asleep in front of my computer after playing online games, this gear was equipped to my player character.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAlF0xfopqS8
2046Please respect copyright.PENANANMsLiRmR4O
“What the hell?!”2046Please respect copyright.PENANAgbNVCBYvkF
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAwqCiCIe3H0
I yell at the top of my lungs. Even though I know there is no one here to answer, I couldn’t help but cry out.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA3gNbpA1XZG
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAb0xHe92Awt
I slowly move the sword sheath to my waist and whip out the blade. A thin, blue, double-edged blade surrounded by light is drawn. The beautiful blade shines like the light of day. The length of the sword’s blade exceeds well over a meter, giving the weapon a seemingly heavy look. I take a stance with the blade parallel to my eyes, and swing it down.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAIsdxRKLVe4
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAMmDeNpqZ55
“What the hell?!”2046Please respect copyright.PENANAHiY8NIKCJ2
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAjfqflird0S
I scream again.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAEhbSIssV1z
2046Please respect copyright.PENANABBgLegTXtk
It’s light! The weight is such that I can hardly believe it’s made of metal. I lightly swing the unrealistic sword to confirm the weight. Then I swing the sword with one hand. Even though I’m equipped with body armor, I feel light. It’s as if I’m not wearing armor at all.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAU70bbZZNCi
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAW6wiqTZekh
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2046Please respect copyright.PENANAAKz0bgg5fZ
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAhqmWZDnpli
While waving the sword around, I call out the name of a skill from the game. A beam of light emits from the sword, and is sent flying into the forest.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA1XD9wShfFd
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAAIqnql3mGa
Suddenly, a handful of trees slowly fall within the forest. The leaves of other trees rustle, and the of the birds of neighboring trees all fly into the sky. A slightly dull sound echoes through the area as the trees hit the ground.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAHWCCujqIta
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAZuGPWGtWvJ
“Really, what the hell…”2046Please respect copyright.PENANAnW6w3SNveN
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAwStFWgEZIn
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAk7tLFVtd8B
2046Please respect copyright.PENANALJOeM4Vpy3
The weapons and equipment that I have equipped were of mythical grade, the same as that of my character in the game I was playing.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAH12Ccrxtik
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAuPo5i9q07i
It was truly a rarity to be fully equipped with mythical grade gear. There are a total of six grades of equipment: low, intermediate, high, masterpiece, legendary, and mythical.2046Please respect copyright.PENANACfIZh8FqPv
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAtGEMl8oy70
The silver body armor I have on is the Heavenly Knight armor,『Belen’s Saint Armor』series. The armor is comprised of five pieces: the headgear, torso, waist, arms, and legs. Not only does it enhance defense and periodically restore a fixed amount of health, it also increases attack power, as well as increasing curse resistance. In addition, fire and light attribute damage are reduced by half. A set of truly broken gear.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAKrbJzZk3WJ
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAG1l4k1OZGG
And the mantle fluttering in the wind behind me is the mythical grade『Overcoat of the Night Sky』. It has the effect of reducing darkness attribute damage, also restoring a set amount of mana over time.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA9FeouWMLRw
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAKoGj8Wzg48
The shield that I carry on my back was the『Heavenly Shield of Titus』. In addition to high defense and knockdown invalidation, it raised all abnormal status effect resistance values.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA74AXygHLTP
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAvYPijoYkzs
Complaints about the broken Heavenly Knight series led to the administration patching it, but the effects of the armor remained ─ it was just that players could no longer use other accessories with the equipment. Consequently, the already limited number of users of the Heavenly Knight series further decreased.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAtbWw2ALQv8
2046Please respect copyright.PENANADda1bYxb8X
Finally, in my hands I am wielding the『Holy Thunder Sword』.With its high attack power and agility boost, it’s a two-handed sword I am truly proud of. Like every other mythical class weapon within the game, it has its own special attack, with the penalty being that the player suffers a power reduction after its useage.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAUAms37Zr2y
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAiRxnDBbpii
I return the sword to the sheath at my waist, then, with my right hand, I cast【Flame】. And just like in the game, a torrent of flames shoot out as if my hand is a flamethrower.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAT8ReLvQPs7
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAJS1RaZciKb
No… It’s different from the game.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAoIfzrRuCex
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAFHKsZYgOiH
If I’m not mistaken, the main occupation of my character was Heavenly Knight, and the subclass should have been Pope.【Flame】is a Magician’s skill and【Flying Dragon Slash】is certainly a Warrior’s skill. It’s not a skill my current character’s occupation should have been allowed to use in the game.2046Please respect copyright.PENANArSO9dTZawP
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAr7hDozgLkz
Why can a Knight use a Magician’s skill? Then, I had a thought: considering everything, what if this isn’t the game or a dream, but reality?2046Please respect copyright.PENANAVKebewgLvC
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAmwonXVsbBR
If it’s reality, then the skills that I could not use because of my class change should be fully available. For example, a Judo expert who started a boxing career is still capable of using Judo techniques.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAw4qBO7zQIt
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAB8rPJZKAKa
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2046Please respect copyright.PENANAWZuaIKMN3b
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA6wGNpmwBHt
The conditions for gaining the Heavenly Knight class are that a character had to possess maximum level in the Magician, Priest, and Warrior occupations. In order to achieve that, I had to gain the occupations of Magic Knight, Advanced Wizard, and Pope. I did not learn all of the skills from each occupation, but I did learn quite a few of them.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAkth4I4KnVJ
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Q0heKvWl
If anything, if I am able to use all of the skills that I learned, I should be able handle anything that comes my way.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAy57wcPJFpY
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAiX3VPGiNFi
I wonder if I would have been able to survive if my main occupation had been fixed to Heavenly Knight. Frankly speaking, some of the highest-level occupations can’t really be used. First, there are only four technique skills available. And all of them are flashy skills that cause widespread destruction. Clearly it was a class only meant to fulfill the romance of the developers.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA7HVOlb4OiQ
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA0QUJ1RvNv5
As it is, I am able to use the【Heavenly Knight Sword Techniques】that allows a two-handed sword be wielded with only one hand, but if I were to use both hands, wouldn’t it increase my attack power?2046Please respect copyright.PENANABuiTFMKb3D
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAUihQBVgakr
I’ve been in this area for a while now, but nothing will get done if I stay here. If this is indeed real, I need to find some people or a town and think of a future plan.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAza0kUjIy6r
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA89v5gPfCLt
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2046Please respect copyright.PENANASDoLAXJNaf
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAZBy3mSSH4H
In the game, all I had to do is select the name of a town and I would be transferred there. However there is no selection screen now. For a while, I think about what I should do. Incidentally, my vision darkens. And then I notice that the landscape spread out before my eyes has changed.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAOY09THx9KK
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAeY2qo4qEgC
I traveled about three meters from where I was a second ago. Apparently, this magic can’t be used properly without a clear image of where I wanted to go.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA2r1eJabgRB
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAERX7xMaWuU
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAQslBFTc4zu
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAsyOAEpZUPn
I give up…2046Please respect copyright.PENANAS1vgsMm7Ay
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA0JFolsuKIp
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAXMCveJMq5c
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAyzcLr0sxPN
The skill lets me move to any location after I select it. In the early stages of the game, it was a skill that allows you escape the range of enemy attacks ─ a skill used when you were surrounded by enemies. But after the middle stage of the game, when the monsters and the boss’ attack range took up the whole screen, it was regarded as a useless skill. Am I able to use it? With no screen to click, I could just be wasting mana.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAbYToISu4Lc
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAV7IS7V7DnZ
I set my eyes on the intended location and activate【Dimensional step】. The scenery changes in an instant. When I look back, I observe that the place I had just been is a great distance away. It’s probably about five hundred meters. In the game, no matter what you did, the skill could only take you to the edge of the screen. In reality, it appears that I can move to any location within my line-of-sight. Though I can’t blow off heads with beams like a certain Esper girl, it’s still a helpful power. With a cool-down time of one second, it can be seen as a very convenient movement method.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA2gqTB4KOFL
2046Please respect copyright.PENANATmlTunsp2X
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAl0sibT4EJe
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAtf72ya64FP
As the day fades away, it seems that I’m moving in the southwest direction. After leaving the sloping area a little while ago, I see a large river ahead.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAcYH373NEJC
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAucfh2ug69t
I transfer to the riverbank and look around. This river is about two hundred meters across. It seems to hold quite a lot of water. When I look at the river, the water seems to be transparent, and I see many fish swimming along with the current.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAMAGRyNhKr9
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAzSwVLivyfN
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2046Please respect copyright.PENANA2iElDeuPs0
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAJNA975xj0g
I remove my helmet. That reminds me, not only did I not feel heavy wearing the armor, but I also didn’t feel hot. Such a thought was in my head as I brought my face closer to the water.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA50UXGtrmbB
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAwcHdmdijqA
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2046Please respect copyright.PENANA7xF8xeJZyo
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAWmneagXPHK
“─Damn…”2046Please respect copyright.PENANAbNwsGNYWBj
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAUBf4IUGaKb
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAYELdp7vyyn
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAgMpOJAlqst
My vision focuses on the refection in the water. There are no eyes. In fact, there doesn’t appear to be a nose or even any flesh. In the dark eye sockets, the pale light of the undead can be seen. I stare back at the reflection without any emotion.2046Please respect copyright.PENANA6rz0y8LMQF
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAR4HMSZl4o3
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2046Please respect copyright.PENANA0SNLgPkspE
2046Please respect copyright.PENANASMIxW0NYhv
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAb2mTiIoHkh
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAYjMec7Q0Bn
Your usual game avatar would be a humanoid ─ one that can be customized to suit a person’s own preference. The degree of customization was extensive: you could make a long-eared Elf, or even a pig-nosed Orc.2046Please respect copyright.PENANASmpMAni7UR
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAce4qB30T2z
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAHlmZovPZz2
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA2AQ90C4MU1
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2046Please respect copyright.PENANAEghtqDBtdM
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA0PUS0qID7n
I actually wanted a golden skeleton avatar. With that, I would be known as the crazed hero of justice. When I searched about it later, the head of the guy was a skeleton, and from the neck down it was gold just like the costume of a professional wrestler. Nevertheless, I thought that it would be a completely golden skeleton for the entire time before that…2046Please respect copyright.PENANAN5OmFZqbuw
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAhFZQO9Cf74
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2046Please respect copyright.PENANARA9SHlPeuA
2046Please respect copyright.PENANA9IXc0APuwQ
This is very bad.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAk3jCQVRFY0
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAviCRYIlJ7t
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAihqF1pikKo
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAKYXc0u9wD9
My current future plans were just revoked.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAbFdOvLj2Yy
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAKQv6tVE8Rk
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAQElSNPmeIl
2046Please respect copyright.PENANApGX629ooNi
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAECaEPvfDMc
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAvSFA0sh9mI
In this world I have nothing to my name except for this armor. I lack all my in-game items, and I have no money.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAYLcSok29Pb
2046Please respect copyright.PENANABuX2gtWxhh
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAZvN2oQ1vHC
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAQVDkTOTwAV
I shove my head into the water and drink. Since I’m a skeleton, did I try to drink out of habit? Where would the water that I drink go? In the first place, can I even taste the water?2046Please respect copyright.PENANAZNXyAuQqmW
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAkFBZCexykF
I won’t worry about the small things anymore. The inside of my head was beginning to overheat. Even though I have no brain to speak of.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAcZUxTFnJef
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAHkif1MFfGa
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAXV5bF6y1W7
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAUbkffrMwBq
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAtcfmh9VQwF
2046Please respect copyright.PENANAUA9Hyi0JXd
With such thoughts, I put my helmet back on and resume using【Dimensional step】. Since leaving the river, signs of a road has started to develop, so a village shouldn’t be that far.2046Please respect copyright.PENANAiLxQvNeZ6M
