By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ZJcdNS0Z

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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBna5Fwt7L

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?2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yDiaKLzzz
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEgFFVuQ9y
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR1HecAzLQ
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE7ftTy1N3
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZYXiwjPsi

A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEgdwP8jjH
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tOmFmDEdL
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPn5Gd2Ab
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCtEnP8tBE
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bsp5TJlG4

“What the hell?!”2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcUXr2erC5

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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJJnLdB7Sz
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSowbiXXBP
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYvknFK9m5

2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lfa0VpKXx
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE7dNLt1Bt

“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1KTLvIq48
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaL5DlW6vV
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB1zfVO4qA
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RMVdqtiFC
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTBPaEWFwz

“Really, what the hell…”2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF8H1yBj6G

Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyjol2lSN9
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhAE0JkLTw
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna7J0W3Coq
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ujSHILit
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GWmolbTvA
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkKFbgRnWK
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7DQJtOhTy
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ii89Z1mXp
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLl9EQ9oS4
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CUb7ljhit
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOyny2YAKl
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEHZjJcj3
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnSlYmvUEv
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD9wJUEbyZ
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD7LQsRPrD
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyYpUGnf04
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM133mXrT4C
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtdsWYesW5
No… It’s different from the game.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Hw7FoRCa
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdNVGDLNh0
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAxAi8WUxm
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RCO52Mqm
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?2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIylLMrVJXJ
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK4emkFyh9
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuZbO9cAor
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQF1boM7El
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGceNUVqZbR
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRluCY1IxFf
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexWd7Nyhtm
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6NPxogFJ1
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv45Z3Qznn0
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvHZVSRspz
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxXLDaLPRu
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeRePzj7oR
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?2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqKx1SXcT4
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU62kAP6IPJ
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke404IjNNT
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVyPYpID0G
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXPzREWnvY
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5y570EYBo
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHzYeyQYw0
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPCTPmapQz
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRMiBN1ko
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnsQ1sN8Ac
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA6iYDOMrB
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42C8LPTo0H
I give up…2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbgcgHKqW7
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ODfooJcxV
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OumehRP3t
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf20ppYC3n
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgJ4A7beEU
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2YNFYVXpx
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKlI4Tuk6
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ5e8z8N23
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnZn76apog

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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomrECoei4j
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFOs7JK961
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzQlEMa0Ij
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZbfhPjulD
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg8jm6CRr3
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGWZORcFp4
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NtHC0La4
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJF1AkFmJE
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkBrV88nRb

“─Damn…”2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dJRJz6qd8

My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKDeMHqSEc
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeJmGNG4RJ
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgYbbtzi5i
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK3iRm6uNa
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN1qhbsjm4
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvpONqtp0d
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx1Tv5MgmV
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWay22qleV
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOgWaT2bsK
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qIVDCi2XI
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvIT9aV4fi
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0bJFJfU3
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTHZCCJun
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73o0QJCfpr
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…2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpVnGmVH40

I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS77QuL5cL

My current future plans were just revoked.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNgTlHa6aI

I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Nev7O6r0
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpD858yuJY
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWLFvODP9A
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflOZLrkoms
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiPnt6Qo9n
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxRFy0tYZk
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZQsUAY665
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnBmZoN9on
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?2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaetxoS252C
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6jS3xzdZb
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB420Nfdzyq

First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkP3P7JxAk
2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpXH84sNWm
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.2031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGpxb3XNjH
