By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIV4GTj8qL

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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8fsOgCk8
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpgsEmM3l
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?2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfs2CrAklY
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN5AXFbLE4
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL1PqQdhRG
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNJK88tyrt
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FQQ5m83JW
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbfkwG10o4
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGDsWpGs1
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFoygQipe8
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YncDCd632
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjGn9oCBt
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6AqM2kcjf

“What the hell?!”2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1SMM7sqKM
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5Qh55J9Z
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbODSpKLk8
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnlWCYdI28
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCLsxmjiCU

“What the hell?!”2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gR4OeOHAM

I scream again.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSDseQHdTW
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg3nsYO95K
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGJrhg2dQQ
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPxsr9fSUf
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROdHv22qg0
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe5JpuU3PZ
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75o8DciZ3X
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufjwVcsuAg
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWqVXCWp9f

“Really, what the hell…”2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5tTuzXcq7

Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMg5bv5Hn
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuEJ1ENo4y
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FiN5Sab5D
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHj569baXk
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU7Bi12BnW
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ9fvIDCpa
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtNQ6QsY7m
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMhnUiMHjq
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdjJ8gWuWD
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3R0dSnVsN
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjJDCy6SUV
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerxNPEZB6L
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBGpAgZpfs
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW2bUCskna
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBC5cvlFBg
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrcZNUSJP
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4vKSiumXf
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxuhZgpbVa
No… It’s different from the game.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsiqPMTsjE
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5kJt2P7j
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6mEUrdSIr
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64xg1BWbZT
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?2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXdYA3F37j
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJnj9Sarid
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VgQFSqxMg
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4byWZwVeMk
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WPhmRBU4z
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTtP7SvirL
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoXR2LybzP
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6QoZFrkgA
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Yxb54ceI
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJpHIgLlc2
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtCl2IQVes
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRTnR34N4K
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?2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3qKNN9y1s
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iRhuz4Brk
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ryka38en6
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXsdMBYdft
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3MIEtRkLS
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28tHMg9p3p
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV2iav5K2S
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF0wLkRU6I
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPVZ8W8ATi
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEn0Vgz9nJ
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9AXgUCJL4
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4jvHppFMv
I give up…2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqt5U4zQ8
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvat2OgeYNZ
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcCk6sjwR2
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fkxUJtXqv
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKeydMybLq
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcflGjTnEPk
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokuJeXoa11
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrQCf8VQwZ
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdwZxpCtHw

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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKUngohrPz
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoNd2qwSos
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7Ek2ZRxd
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad4p6ZvjQp
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9fPgbmUh
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbqfacXsan
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsPGhuG0CK
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jdbe4MSDW
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0cLcnDrSg

“─Damn…”2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsbac8Slwb

My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtJbvlGOJS
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gWufsJKih
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElfZPyKXIZ
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8kHE8qy48
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7wIu76lc5
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR7kN17b4q
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqsop9HIPC
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Hd91UJJz
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoKrT31sFn
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSYLK5gWWK
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOFFb70E4
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A7Xq2bXdr
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolSdPJwBV9
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNPefy9lg
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…2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LrCkc24yC

This is very bad.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf6Od6f18J
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPACq97vFR
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefizcuqMDS

My current future plans were just revoked.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCtpFfj6e

I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxd8KqKHX
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYQ0q1hJIh
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTkqegNcGi
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehZeH42bYI
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH21krgur8
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT1oXHNh9v
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUppPsP2YkK
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkchkNoJt3
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?2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY70JrXilN
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrIruSv22D
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n72uvsHCn

First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQdKp1ZHMi
2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR1bLl9oPh
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.2059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVpfvR0auu
