By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAFrH32qSVY9
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAnOVSIgwkZz
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAOvoNOXhb2e
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAv9myijgUPN
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?2086Please respect copyright.PENANAt3A6hS47Zl
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA6dnCX9teCR
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAufTVj3GFy4
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAzf33hSgPNJ
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAhK2Oj0OFVK
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA5J58rS1BWK
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAfTbI3pTg0Z
2086Please respect copyright.PENANATZ31yLfPJu
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAeUoxqcHcQT
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAlzIWzmggs7
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAPkJqTxOlb8
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAvXKy36EB4l
“What the hell?!”2086Please respect copyright.PENANAwcI9mJjV9Z
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA2pMSvUFx4l
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAkom68e22Pg
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAGryRsNUqvj
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAR1ECwtBifx
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAGk0UNnFjCp
“What the hell?!”2086Please respect copyright.PENANARDiBJTbZIV
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAfXrZYfSoIv
I scream again.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA9EaxUZbnrW
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAn1PpPNAhPj
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAodktrVJlxq
2086Please respect copyright.PENANADeUR7QTJwT
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2086Please respect copyright.PENANAgkxpfNf20Y
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cx4KWKlw0
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAsoeyBbDpPU
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA6DB3FDZ1xb
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAIHIrM3lC7V
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAu6jwXNITLV
“Really, what the hell…”2086Please respect copyright.PENANAFd1UWdHZ7i
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAaIsIpW5Rov
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2086Please respect copyright.PENANANdZk9ZWlgm
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA72J1VsclV7
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAZsj4luRnf7
2086Please respect copyright.PENANApu9vw6CEl3
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA5uEdTzuJXC
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAswEAzVDIGQ
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAFLXB9kLLep
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAJxKX2vH4Fv
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANADgTvqW5HH6
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA8gcVUqUN84
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAZVCWyAjweF
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAECqUCGAz3n
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANATmp0dZs8Vo
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAYYIyhEHQtO
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA190AKhdUcl
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAR34549z2hh
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA0oEVfrgUXu
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA3oNz73X2nN
No… It’s different from the game.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAlCLRuRLjKN
2086Please respect copyright.PENANARSsRj63Fey
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAYOkyq0GaAG
2086Please respect copyright.PENANADX1ZQvbyjt
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?2086Please respect copyright.PENANA0xV71OBAAV
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAkDSI9200TW
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAKyUATfZ0FV
2086Please respect copyright.PENANACQkw5xhb0K
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2086Please respect copyright.PENANAI4Z0fJZBwX
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA1SKI0LL9fj
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAsCCPYaARWv
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA0WnjLqLuh8
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAuXJvU1E4n7
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAhGLPwoNwKu
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAszCFv9Fc8v
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAqW3g5X67LP
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?2086Please respect copyright.PENANAMpIZPWVeKq
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAR7UODeVttq
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAaJRVCdsP38
2086Please respect copyright.PENANACNGQd1phJ4
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2086Please respect copyright.PENANAJUkwPbA4iH
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAykJFsH5gwp
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAZoWzimHqxR
2086Please respect copyright.PENANASOtOnLYI8I
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANACSy35UqwW1
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAyeSshpRRPO
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAcnDQyrLr9M
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA1YYwDCi76z
I give up…2086Please respect copyright.PENANAvWsImqbSla
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAa2jDLaq9Sz
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAEzmkdUpgKY
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAMw5SzNMYK9
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANARGa6gAoo3y
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA7mAUJMu97G
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAomQt5o6nIn
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Di8i4wiP
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2086Please respect copyright.PENANASFjbgtmZga
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA4UtpB9UIOX
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA194uQeQqhH
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAoawY1paQO1
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zb8srmshT
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAw2OhGyR3E1
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2086Please respect copyright.PENANA6iPOATTBDN
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAUn6UayKQlm
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAlhxo4qJDX0
2086Please respect copyright.PENANApCK12LmKxU
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2086Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z2zbo97Ao
2086Please respect copyright.PENANArtQjgQQs99
“─Damn…”2086Please respect copyright.PENANAkfvVWWsY8F
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA1AxbRFfPsY
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAhOwKPnbWm5
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA06VthC5EAd
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAEX6t2qSBdK
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAIpr4MPXNIm
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2086Please respect copyright.PENANAd6G1PKNR0l
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAuTW480TNzV
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAR1hgx0LiDS
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA2MBZN6wcwL
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAcmA86PR5P2
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAy0Kq00xBw2
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAhpzq0GktIe
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAhgpKxtmLC1
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2086Please respect copyright.PENANAdXVUCfdVw9
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA8MK1bHQ0wD
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…2086Please respect copyright.PENANAGX3cyJMnGs
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAUFP0SE1D2d
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAKaz3tkMU1Y
2086Please respect copyright.PENANARZInCJLnSS
This is very bad.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA8av1h1ZaOD
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAVxdylMJygM
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAMQBZKPloWI
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA0xFgg9ynSI
My current future plans were just revoked.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAj2xIMj7aVy
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAPN5mFVLiIU
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAWoM3rC4iHV
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAS8yHspJWjH
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAy2ir47VndP
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAwaeM0AZGXU
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAOyX115U537
2086Please respect copyright.PENANA4LwmTOYva4
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2086Please respect copyright.PENANA1tUgv0BnYA
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAZXrxDk4Z0a
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?2086Please respect copyright.PENANACi5cnmtyEb
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAC0oH9QoHbW
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAX4nKU95J5f
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAA46rvMViVh
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAogRRn9p5FU
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ8oHTVc6o
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2086Please respect copyright.PENANARCrfaeImI7
2086Please respect copyright.PENANAUabNsdnw7g
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.2086Please respect copyright.PENANAzs4PVABE4i
