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

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

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

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

“What the hell?!”2046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbNVCBYvkF

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

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

“【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

“Really, what the hell…”2046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW6w3SNveN

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

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

“─Damn…”2046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwsGNYWBj

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

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

My current future plans were just revoked.2046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFdOvLj2Yy

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

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
