By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAqF1mAtqcX6
2085Please respect copyright.PENANABTP1Yw9t1R
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANARHfju1QOkl
2085Please respect copyright.PENANArc8gL5Mqg0
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?2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kd1yzR2UJ
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA3CP7oZMIxm
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bdf66OMYe
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAFtoDmSGEzw
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANArNyAvsGWve
2085Please respect copyright.PENANATrxz9mqyBK
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAjI6ux5KeaX
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAucU6tZ6Ore
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0HTpQKwOvM
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAmP7YiviOot
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAxhmHj0mmwz
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAKYbBWFHYGe
“What the hell?!”2085Please respect copyright.PENANAaZdGdSmHjm
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA95Wk6gR3ta
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAF9uxYSFZaC
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0um0rg9Rdp
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAOdbMHSbt2v
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAMItKlZwjn6
“What the hell?!”2085Please respect copyright.PENANAF0pvAhb9Dr
2085Please respect copyright.PENANALtqlZnS846
I scream again.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0wBuo1Y63c
2085Please respect copyright.PENANATNi4z9ubFr
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAUopBoAxExj
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAfAfp3LI6AL
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2085Please respect copyright.PENANA9fjNTlMXeM
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0qgjDyQrA2
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAf01gTrRBiO
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAke13fj3dvN
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAEcTRAH4m4s
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAAPthTzPN3L
“Really, what the hell…”2085Please respect copyright.PENANAO2iT5bKa4M
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAA1hmX2P0f8
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAOSalFAUNsI
2085Please respect copyright.PENANATt9MzM8u5y
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAPlZDgzOk7z
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAA9HbLhcqlZ
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAB6fVHergi7
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAlB5Xd6c5Qi
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA2j6xKmtKMv
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAzHxl66SPq7
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAGWZRIM2PYt
2085Please respect copyright.PENANApsG9UMWjga
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAa8M6RT09A2
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA2UvItLIol9
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAFFY0hCSYqs
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAMIvLMeP1Gy
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAilf4cEZJ7G
2085Please respect copyright.PENANASBX7RNevu7
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAB3KviP72KC
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAVMJAIzFvk1
No… It’s different from the game.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAlP1C4YAGLB
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAu4iMgaxgKU
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAKLf7sjGIjh
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAhrOBc2mfc5
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?2085Please respect copyright.PENANA62BxuIB0DW
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAteW2Iz8RFi
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANANybplH4iwd
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAcpOj2tOPKc
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2085Please respect copyright.PENANArp9YJS7mMD
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAF03INbigYD
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA4dkBM4XEwb
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAkb4QTdvD86
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAsw0p8yO4Jz
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAN247UCV93s
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAyMvF8LMosg
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAUfWD0lBnVo
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?2085Please respect copyright.PENANA04n7RxB9os
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAi7a1KvtbFi
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA7bR5QosTt9
2085Please respect copyright.PENANApRpPsdCcHX
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2085Please respect copyright.PENANAQTyptiTahs
2085Please respect copyright.PENANABYIzzyxBGi
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0T6vkI2KEj
2085Please respect copyright.PENANADXPpaOeUwE
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAeBb2jOSAxS
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAXrFgvY0s2M
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAROL5KzFHxj
2085Please respect copyright.PENANACudgPTLzHj
I give up…2085Please respect copyright.PENANATMoGKTuaMZ
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA7jrv6m1YT4
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA85oNHjt9Xt
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAsVD0rRV0Ft
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA1snDyffp3a
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6D2gZXjTT
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA9CktwNnRGy
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZhyL5kyLN
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA1mfbJTtoOC
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAohmoSRp8JL
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAqP6KEC5bCU
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAbTbhkmRbUk
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA7XDK2rzHRi
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAbnLFctyqhG
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2085Please respect copyright.PENANA3mljcWOLyY
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAVOAYyuHzVu
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANANGEM2aROST
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAkX9mM9pEWh
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2085Please respect copyright.PENANAzsWjz1K09J
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAaKhaluXmrH
“─Damn…”2085Please respect copyright.PENANAORHblAXO7F
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA1XcG0vsln7
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA1wXRyF3Ggu
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAwvzDVJefR0
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAkhu2Kn9kqT
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAZVya8X3D6E
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2085Please respect copyright.PENANAhXJgn55Vah
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAW0DfjMk7cM
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA41GhCVQxmY
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAnh1TvcnbtL
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA7RxpPwCSye
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA39q7ADiSxE
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAclR76y9RyQ
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA543AbRC7NM
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2085Please respect copyright.PENANAgguOSmauLH
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAUOa4xt9O2d
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…2085Please respect copyright.PENANA7EWjGt9HEl
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAazZitDwwK1
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAYvILeLvhiq
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAGFd8Wr0Wbk
This is very bad.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAdsEk1FkAVn
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAgOoPdCbznc
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAANLGHwnAXb
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAdClwyeyyVC
My current future plans were just revoked.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA45NM7nLbjw
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA6fLEmn52vo
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA7gcpDsZskZ
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA77xtytlocq
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAtmT7P4pJDf
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAdLGjEDIdvG
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAV2kFhpjJ2z
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAfhZBwDv9v6
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAwqB1dg2C7e
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAW2nQ8ZzQyN
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?2085Please respect copyright.PENANA36IPfz04d2
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAGX4sxZiocE
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ8qMjtErP
2085Please respect copyright.PENANA58zG0lqnYx
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAZDk8c8saCX
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAX5umI4ZnSA
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2085Please respect copyright.PENANAcc3i07rPVd
2085Please respect copyright.PENANAZxQMMqnoQv
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.2085Please respect copyright.PENANA0XvsjHZktf
