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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAiEYqIcm8wW
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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAKQQ3rcT86s
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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANABJlcGGJkjI
“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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAT7ECZe2O7P
“What the hell?!”2043Please respect copyright.PENANAMjCELfTLKt
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAvGq4E7zBTv
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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANA2XoJjfoTtp
“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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAYSpOVtQ4ev
“─Damn…”2043Please respect copyright.PENANAggzyEbUme1
2043Please respect copyright.PENANA0pWMAXIwKA
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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAqV87dPtzWv
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2043Please respect copyright.PENANAYJaXe9ckH6
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAGZzsJS2LuZ
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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAXpEFLhzdAv
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
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAMHbYdwzEis
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2043Please respect copyright.PENANAwmChDHYuLS
2043Please respect copyright.PENANAMLP1N8Y3We
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
