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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nQLL5nRQz

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?2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSsnSJHSAI
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsCngwaepI
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyqji6PU3t
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54sQXSB5In
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1KygWxyT

A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6ecLbttfV

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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwglceLuDK
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA6I6mUbd0
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbanqgkwFIN

2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5TjXjx5H9
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu5zKu5jXQ

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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTfyPcoTM7

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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8OW4FVi6m
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrctpYDPGT
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUlC5uXhBf

2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFAJ9YMu5I
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpETQnRGfR
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnpFFYOgeD
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWiWahDrWk
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7au4cEK5Gh
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhCejBK14L
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl8dmDtlHV
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRPg0C8VNu
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRJitQbANZ
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxCtMHyPty
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajpsNnj1Wm
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpyQYUrgGm
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7ZxYt02h
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPF3TznGF1
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTk2H8dG7J
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQYtJAU7Hc
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb1sWw3whn
No… It’s different from the game.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sUCyU3Lqz
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNDr3tbvdj
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ3huTZf9I
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSPeXtJZi7
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?2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2s5YdafrJ
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrYyCdjDyU
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CKQn3tKJ2
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkSztqImxh
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuxFMW2tg
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXNEJaRMy
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5mLomPP2n
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1LUqlsKkR
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcOa8P5hK0
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEI163y093
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJoYZPuJnO
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWv2K9zJdb
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?2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJV6uEZtGE
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTHniXtUUu
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxZJhCSsWe
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1vRLhZxzx
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmVA85apdF
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmiOsHnILl
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraaxkyF1BY
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0IBBgKieJ
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54wmuTOLpj
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoI7RymE8
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhiwhTGmYN
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ZqIBFMte
I give up…2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ZapTgevk
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRl1OKx6xG
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyxWt0ajks
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhCgbVGP6
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxr3tKyYy6
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AU87jJII5
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyUyjddHz4
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4CYrcHLpb
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sP4CTNHT

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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO9LoMv0WT
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7cjlt9TdB
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVICipJvGz
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdJjCTxOfK
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJSE71DZ3t
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtlG5HWfWB
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh09MbxJJTN
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnqz1XEKlM
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhaFqZiHPd

2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8zRt5rohk
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz1aGRumUR
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7iEEZBvGa
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVvl67wJ8i
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ5FohKLqK
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnol06Nu62e
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIo95xHZLv
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG2bFj8vw4
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhs2w43RT8
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKHiuyltYI
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHqlp8AmN
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobHqSwD7pP
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W4dAa6vEK
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…2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7QdrmvxzU

However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCwfNmjZcO
2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWLUq0FQ2a
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpRjCS1nuA

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?2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP6XzSvGt9

2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxBkEqMIaV
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.2003Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiATAgOvKR
