By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefL2sVRVk0

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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0d92FvGIZ

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?2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WR4eEfz1O
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdaFLC2naN
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OXqMhvanh
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge451UooUh
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmokthx62XU

A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0se08QYG
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mW6KsZCNW
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPmnRWZpCo
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBMwTTqlH
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ706g8RkNXV

“What the hell?!”2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINKGOLkPVR
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaQMud75x4
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfje5WMvPT3
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1A4NHdUuT
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTxLGh5fcD

“What the hell?!”2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH30uix6AH

I scream again.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDXK5Eg5mN
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyfvJSwAlE
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsaUpWIPhH

“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxUNDLXlvv
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfLYuGh4et
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZhDSDSfXg
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUy9fsdXy1
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfIEUBaCcG

“Really, what the hell…”2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9btggxxnS9

Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu6UWFVBHw
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ru1DIquAd
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJFyoTgUqa
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O9OMQjA7m
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllAU2jQuY5
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRYkseEiCm
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkt8kgSvE
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoK0yd3XS2
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgWDf6s7FZ
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83BMyJqB8Z
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTesMEg9Of
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUriVbrvjW
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ngRqE2uIB
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSh7i4vbhS
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQvWdyboYN
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5gBBdO0ZW
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg4b3KjsTG
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOt65Uqr7A
No… It’s different from the game.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M8x8MTRIn
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O2kevsYJF
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBfmfsYgqc
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOB1VtsctQ
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?2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVVSrOlfqX
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56rUVHiAUc
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ANBfcFPI
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtrxA4L5c2
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzkYHQiRa8
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2frWBm8OS
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZjkSbLkob
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TjS5U6CHX
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiZBDTIu6N
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7EP0kTBX5
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYKPi1ycO0
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BUbUOfGLh
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?2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o5kwyQjwZ
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXvHRlz69B
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yGsBb4FCn
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzIRzq985g
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZWAMNLEzB
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpCoWS9WAJ
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtCUzB2geh
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaSksXjt29
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhk3b5cKn
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0xtxPmar
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIW3kAL8yS
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUMgV5H3Kl
I give up…2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGu8kGZzCb
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAnfhDKZr
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGampjqkmoU
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz77qYNlg2
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXi5pmnlb
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cMnaSxQmM
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8VDJ7mnyP
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ZYG778KZ
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RaIwPRgN8
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYu3eVC9U
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eHtcNB6kF
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7qa2AkYUq
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTrjC9SuZ
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESp5JpRlsI
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuKFmHgSeT
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6fsdV9Rs0
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw19spulHG
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc8jA2JLxi
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU2blhcHEZ

“─Damn…”2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqumLhBrIS
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpjF48Lc9l
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5pfewLMhM
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHiAOIQLG
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKcA5UXhBa
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHngUGEh3qQ
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih69PstF8c
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bpMTTWjB2
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYXJdhcVuU
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDKilJTUo
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkUPtq4vS
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0iAuyle7I
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2QwPv6gAc
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ3LYhLYOw
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqY67tl8Tk
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i5RSRGdKA
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…2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxZ6l4WU0s
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemhmUBQoOc
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcksQCjcVbv

This is very bad.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2vrRoDYBu
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZsq5TI6VP
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MjDO0ypC6
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2LF2z0Fso
My current future plans were just revoked.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsHqJ23DDl
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uiYZfWulg
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBKaVEhBv9
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2HubMyO2N
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVtGhu82b
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcloSUxjxN3
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnjuXDIYxl
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw34DHxegDi
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWATNPHmWVU
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzUSDwTDZr
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?2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ871E7QEeJR
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcOQPY0MUC
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TC23EbWEn
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINSFcMDbh
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpCjUredM8
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJoCZyP3gv
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6gQ3VhGVm
2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwMxvNyDJ5
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.2099Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE75wWlV6lC
