By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2047Please respect copyright.PENANABANSQI1IBP

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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAyVLFD0UUi2
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAGEh4OBXKXD
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?2047Please respect copyright.PENANATg4eCebs3L
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAdraIcs3v88
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAvDvWSvFsV4
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAQEbFJFdK6t
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAc8EZeUVR5A
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAeWAdzzFjm5
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAca4Lmsac2S
2047Please respect copyright.PENANALJG8ylvjNq
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAbBDEiguGST
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAcUzklAPPgk
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANArNrxp0tzGF
2047Please respect copyright.PENANABa7rvKzAhS
“What the hell?!”2047Please respect copyright.PENANAB58Fc5QqUK
2047Please respect copyright.PENANABdbhCrgfFm
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAji9BmtbGkp
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAP6Leldstki
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAZLeivD6vul
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAiogp1D6nt6
“What the hell?!”2047Please respect copyright.PENANAqwrjQ1xeae
2047Please respect copyright.PENANANpLEofvwHG
I scream again.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAXZfOQzWI4j
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAKZRIjilHNc
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAdzJy1PtkdS
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAQVsD8iVQIb
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2047Please respect copyright.PENANA7SCKDFa80w
2047Please respect copyright.PENANADzguoJrrQz
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAwkwzCbr1MM
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAXamUSjnDMD
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAHJFv01H5vE
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA3mujBlhLpb
“Really, what the hell…”2047Please respect copyright.PENANAXzvo4vhNWP
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA26tdW0xzyM
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAWyHvsRZV1t
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAntcXZsAPLG
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7KkeUMkFl
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA821zK9HqDK
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAKjdW15jyOa
2047Please respect copyright.PENANApcuGPPg7Mo
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAo8oG5uhazk
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA19lyd4qXhJ
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAoz6DH5tMaH
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA2GlqdcnyoN
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANA9HYAZkXPuZ
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ6dGK2qUN
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANArKUtpSZm9V
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAymZrhLyc82
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAtOuz7tEpwI
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA9o96jwqYmN
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAHBU9FpGpFG
2047Please respect copyright.PENANARHyKaxPYrp
No… It’s different from the game.2047Please respect copyright.PENANADdkOHfJisn
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAzpLWytgAgf
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAyy7WkQdigg
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAKvb5SWzlM0
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?2047Please respect copyright.PENANAUuzX0GhNFP
2047Please respect copyright.PENANATTT5yz9ydV
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAKkyaFmo5c0
2047Please respect copyright.PENANASc3r5Wti7a
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2047Please respect copyright.PENANAH4tOS7ADIK
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAFdaDKhtcmv
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANALQEwBu11W1
2047Please respect copyright.PENANABrlSxyKvXp
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAc3P2IpV9Zj
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAblGUae4V2r
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAOJzxvWmJvS
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAoBbTGbx1NZ
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?2047Please respect copyright.PENANAM0LnfpzjAh
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAF8gRwS5qFd
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAa1SwQTOMn3
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAgv7WEwpeTi
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2047Please respect copyright.PENANA5oQ68tEgHY
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAHEXpIK2DC4
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAP41fsqvyTS
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAelems70Bc9
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAVeQW77fhGP
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAPJYtDZSsZe
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAEIlFB4nOSr
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAti1d3ySyNs
I give up…2047Please respect copyright.PENANAGRIshdRLzg
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lfp60TAp8
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAnXLmeBVBV4
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAQOs6r1SReJ
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANArDpRE3MTew
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAPL34mYU4XU
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAGVLmICO0Oc
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ceksu4qRT
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2047Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z3UDdka11
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAtohQhoRue3
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANARp008K2opg
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAbcjP5WozuZ
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAAHFsF6Belf
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAOKbJTTmtTT
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2047Please respect copyright.PENANAHLz6RTXOjY
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAbovWnxfzNg
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAzydGj5065E
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAuaG4XCKOTz
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2047Please respect copyright.PENANAY8WT6fH5yL
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAQRPpiq948m
“─Damn…”2047Please respect copyright.PENANAAXvpt3BZMz
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAoLnJ4PNxin
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAHoRElCDOVs
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAlObfYrsCVj
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hs84y8871
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA4MVhCRlrp1
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2047Please respect copyright.PENANA9QLU43E5Rq
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAzvdU0hPRaj
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAe0SErrlqTq
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAyhZ1dWTfVe
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAsY9U8dwb5o
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kjs1X3gX0
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAdA1GKZDAMB
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAPT0Rr4L8vQ
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2047Please respect copyright.PENANANz5btUov6S
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAdtqLgtN5cY
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…2047Please respect copyright.PENANA1AFYJRvMrw
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAp0BeKXAzdT
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAI5ep7NuMah
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAKnG8rGt1ce
This is very bad.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAmfVA50oxHD
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAkg6zj98l1E
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAWpDbCIHK4o
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA4xuBTymVkB
My current future plans were just revoked.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAxK4TJ314X2
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAH8C3xpTkq3
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2047Please respect copyright.PENANA4dkbZLSaQL
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAMsIdLakKwl
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAF5FQOF2kmp
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAyJuibv2JFb
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAIy4A2sMRIe
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA9kbRuoX8nA
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAd3tm0oPI4s
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAeBpj1rzXjr
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?2047Please respect copyright.PENANAXrWLVBbLUB
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAgxTnMBluBN
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9mNf9jOd8
2047Please respect copyright.PENANA3PWHqD4vZb
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAuujQluJJEq
2047Please respect copyright.PENANAPyPLYNtRuy
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAVEk5SBt6Dn
2047Please respect copyright.PENANASuCUr2U7sR
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.2047Please respect copyright.PENANAwdILI8y0jF
