By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAY7Hp56TwUq

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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAnMJzDb6ZJS
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ5SdoNi6V
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?2042Please respect copyright.PENANAg6PcWQjvm3
2042Please respect copyright.PENANABdVdc9blV7
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAHI1Ig4hlVM
2042Please respect copyright.PENANArF5izqlrer
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAtq3ypgaQWB
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA5ftH9VyMf1
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA56NlKjbhMx
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAEiISuVPt4A
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAws1f9Fd7WE
2042Please respect copyright.PENANARVgPMcytyw
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAPXRuG7PldH
2042Please respect copyright.PENANASNBjFAX8hc
“What the hell?!”2042Please respect copyright.PENANAKDgDsHN2Qn
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAPswNi6FoQp
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAM9eeYnpiqz
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA780E0XA6Pk
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANALplNfk5vTf
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAHLYpvxgNIP
“What the hell?!”2042Please respect copyright.PENANA46EQ1tT3Bt
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAIbZwQZKXeH
I scream again.2042Please respect copyright.PENANALJsVf7ozNE
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAbLF1agqAPH
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAcebzRiivpm
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAICpKaPyeG7
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2042Please respect copyright.PENANAJyjjqp4ses
2042Please respect copyright.PENANADBf5nbfJ27
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANALbsL2KVMj9
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA56BrBjRbXw
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAZSRsksEITk
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAdc9IVq8fZY
“Really, what the hell…”2042Please respect copyright.PENANAWG4TqEcJqf
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAUYhDfaHUHm
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2042Please respect copyright.PENANANHJgd4Xoc6
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAdcICXd17VN
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAoiYddp2q1U
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA58PpynAiQp
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAEtKCXsLSoM
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAjxxRpkW3Rv
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAsH8WQTKUql
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAQlAsLU66jf
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAxXSHk0gzD1
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAlXji7plkOu
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAJnYttYmUBN
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA270wp0HWU5
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAsiP8xCaN4m
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAPgbzztjMSD
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAFIW89QLUOJ
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAYec4R7uf1l
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA8FWV4ccOK9
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAbtmMm5bAS8
No… It’s different from the game.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAcQuDuc8Bu6
2042Please respect copyright.PENANArhWK586cVF
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAWt2dHgaxyn
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAYGsz6myTlv
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?2042Please respect copyright.PENANAjlPE3J5zzA
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAyqeSIL9GXw
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANABTYQQpJxwD
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAvTWfI64GfF
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2042Please respect copyright.PENANAWKz7t7EgQ7
2042Please respect copyright.PENANACJUwnlbCHF
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAcoyLglgFlb
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA6sPHo59ub6
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANArEIymtxXX3
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ij1Jzj4b8
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAigT5lxUR9l
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAW3WBEgXaGu
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?2042Please respect copyright.PENANARMVYHeZZ3B
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAFD38xegGlj
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA00MayesIbn
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAzKVcGlmibU
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2042Please respect copyright.PENANASdnz0IPQOq
2042Please respect copyright.PENANANSjpbf56om
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAQfE0ko4jhQ
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA5lB3xjaS8b
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA9guF8PzAti
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAEC42NXW8TR
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA1wvvzFCOOs
2042Please respect copyright.PENANADO0ZsKUujH
I give up…2042Please respect copyright.PENANAytkrDs5UPM
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAtO00Golpbq
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAMzoyoya0dy
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAD4etV2HvDG
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAd9KDLPJ024
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAMiNJdbz6aK
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAWdmYjprpaQ
2042Please respect copyright.PENANADoqxWFesiO
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAdwywynaBPn
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAAILmigSszy
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAirC1Z4DsNC
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA3xtTyXIkhi
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAYzNyFLkXc5
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAi3i8OehrOY
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2042Please respect copyright.PENANATRwW0A04WH
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA4fUEMalWmd
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zgf6mgmSs
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA4sulxKiN5f
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2042Please respect copyright.PENANAbGRVgCt8mQ
2042Please respect copyright.PENANATx0xY2qAup
“─Damn…”2042Please respect copyright.PENANA7zdmgGz8z5
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAqpcxvBNsWW
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAlb02LkauXQ
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAfC7YRimkGg
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAm6oZJFDgRK
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAiiYBAseukH
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2042Please respect copyright.PENANAu94M6lhPUF
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAIJSVbcbj9A
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAhfRuIIIMT0
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA5CbV3nDImv
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAYnzFmnMNm0
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAOdXTwCrcaR
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAeR6696sBME
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAeLTXfnFtYE
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2042Please respect copyright.PENANASwlShwNkgZ
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA773imJGPUZ
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…2042Please respect copyright.PENANATlHoutz1f5
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAYO8aE0WNuD
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA84ldTJ8y1P
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA1q2T4j99Uk
This is very bad.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAPag4y5us5l
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAwAvy8H8frN
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA1SJV2cWY98
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAsbhjjkvPrC
My current future plans were just revoked.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAliTCBIVDJR
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA4vUBjcCpur
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA844uEoqlhO
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA1xDWlQiPcm
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAiarBouGRMM
2042Please respect copyright.PENANATCPtxisbTB
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANA3g3YuTtV36
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAGYF3jJw3f8
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAdL92vZlSUw
2042Please respect copyright.PENANA5tWXg5HgFG
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?2042Please respect copyright.PENANAAy9LFk4mbz
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAnRyltrclvK
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAmLjDogAjz1
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAR1stb2RCAM
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAf6zV7o8Naa
2042Please respect copyright.PENANAvoOIcFezQW
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2042Please respect copyright.PENANAeAc42mDDZc
2042Please respect copyright.PENANABpQrbLP6pB
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.2042Please respect copyright.PENANARnU6XjKLti
