By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmcJZwNN4A

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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReU4g3NYZe

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?2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2VxJZ0vzf
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuxaLlPW0a
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE085lTa5N
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIarstA7zDx
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlku0ancj0A

A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Djb3InGAD
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfNCtqabRl
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINA9hu6rWD
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaGjA1NWu5
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAMW4XJoj2

“What the hell?!”2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI68HD4sceX
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmrmXN5Uv
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn12qOeS4S
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7i0XhqDdS
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGq6jRbOh

“What the hell?!”2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjCELfTLKt

I scream again.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZKAGqvU6m
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3USWO2CaSx
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLbTKjebHB
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVwhGou3ev
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmlIbaW9ki
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLtLZRva8W
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNIYfsmcUU
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxMlIZXdAV
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksWIIQpXP

“Really, what the hell…”2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYieGqPCR76
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3j8awL1CC
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwg9RjhT0
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeACZpsmhJ
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqvlYk0QZs
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQDoaKBxgG
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGKUgvP03b
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QfiLdMuhf
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOZOukPpaI
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZpEGFXMAk
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDqqQVDLPI
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpitDIfHVjB
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHBMthvfOZ
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNtgq66ect
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpraMaJ9vYE
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MQMgPPfq0
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PFGsRhTFY
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3T6OTNYx8
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFejJ6F0VGA
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqBkQs3zkj
No… It’s different from the game.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMyI761knj
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBjo4ZZV9t
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKjbe8KHRX
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJLvLCmiH
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?2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEqoF9Pc9K
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMrhW2O4ax
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2iGaGeZ22
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKQx1tHJRX
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0WvF1F7JD
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLG3pIQ93f
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCgW91ynDL
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctVuL4Lp0C
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3ZxiiQUvr
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9f1qmS5eA
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2mElub58O
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZISsM2UhW
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?2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtkrp6LH4
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoPfdNn3Db
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIBgJKTBJv
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cydVg9MTt
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFrFZUou4x
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIY1SjHwSO
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLsxvmrrAX
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ445YP9VUK2
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLjjg20zpN
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDI3sagET
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w6r9Ypd6J
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3pLMvcxNt
I give up…2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9IrwQlmkT
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKp2WcojpJ
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzwqRIWU2C
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTBuiRM2zj
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjY0Gl0WxQ
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7AIYjn1zq
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxAlJGKXaE
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pj1CmfcOi
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJQV1PJs0j
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaWLiRieDp
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2ZSl122E
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvlmGyQLmb
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuCsScNSv8
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnyZGKCx59
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOjgCkATCy
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXKRn9BiY7
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfcP9Kwvaa
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGkL83c6P0
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgB24OQIao

“─Damn…”2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggzyEbUme1

My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFWtvTxJIO
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoExzflp74Q
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVBGCOHPuF
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyhbj2VE6K
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfRhB9lZJw
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzmt4pCZv6
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EiyvlIaQg
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lOHJW4lLD
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5nntZeRcn
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRtX5SOnkV
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt07juqkzOg
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjug1uPJkG
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG99Vy37QY2
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQeG17DYwf
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…2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vh2MsysRB

To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJaXe9ckH6

This is very bad.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n8mVKwNeP
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pHtz4AMOj
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y3dnqEHvh
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0olKZ5pbO
My current future plans were just revoked.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStora27lU1

I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7TOxENzVS
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdVkD0YEf3
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQaH0OdTV
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKVPjQkhrd
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsrjkOMWpH
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwWc8hY19l
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlfBRADvij
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMkuJejpkv
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?2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOPHaZiJed
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwapc2yXiRf
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qg9fgVXAU

A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmChDHYuLS

First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7WvXt8HTr
2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGa44cnfYk
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.2043Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IFXwFFo2P
