By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAEljm5yqDr6
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAs09gcljo8R
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAV2njYD4o5f
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAsD39pElODS
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?1830Please respect copyright.PENANAPBgJXinYSr
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAP0lxXt2vb1
Finally, I notice my own appearance.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAcRgj2gJqCq
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAW1HQX4UvSj
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAxi3xGNhlke
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAqyndpLCsmh
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAG8JhLPrug2
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAKjSpPYlbk3
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAd3T7Q7MpJm
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAgtAegEX8rI
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAJfoiv8k2er
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAQTxCpYxyHE
“What the hell?!”1830Please respect copyright.PENANAXWdyx82nkR
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAkwRCWoCWXq
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA0epGRnO9Ic
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAGaTK560TSv
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAp6eymovBhR
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAFUwXRLoEaZ
“What the hell?!”1830Please respect copyright.PENANAhUoI8j0ocD
1830Please respect copyright.PENANABZk8okcf0R
I scream again.1830Please respect copyright.PENANANXZ3dkiJuD
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA83MJfdHZMO
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAMijU60slcF
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAt1oMs1P2VK
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”1830Please respect copyright.PENANAqRFAkpyx3D
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3uZIGxJjC
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAugbZ26OEQn
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAC1gLgYlk6N
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAl5CKaBOxXr
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAXEnVLx3vIQ
“Really, what the hell…”1830Please respect copyright.PENANAbpvXdL1PqJ
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAWljhhmBvFQ
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAmBhJsxMP1j
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ5VUsvU5r
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAvnGqgTkWIq
1830Please respect copyright.PENANABFEft02BfT
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANACj4hcaQGRQ
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAEI53NoiTlu
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA3XVTVQz1tw
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAm0ufqMW1BM
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAzl2p3va319
1830Please respect copyright.PENANASUkAgPs7hZ
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAIS0TwDiY9O
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAjDrZDINOsv
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA9XqbCqDYCa
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAylKzzAYEq8
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6xOvrSvD7
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA0PX8rVc2rD
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAKJEeeQRndf
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAD5vtcP4LrC
No… It’s different from the game.1830Please respect copyright.PENANASABuWieknB
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAnvK19wKmPv
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAR5gZLNK3iX
1830Please respect copyright.PENANADE7mmQAlbf
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?1830Please respect copyright.PENANARlJxPuUpjk
1830Please respect copyright.PENANArPmtaMtBfs
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAXdqNnTlYuu
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAOZbsACdJKa
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?1830Please respect copyright.PENANANNvgdggUdP
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA4QO8LeEuGn
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAsqACab6IHa
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAf1GK2E2ix3
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAYAseMzxIvY
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAurDQ5x6QfH
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANANBBNveEnWm
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA2RSkq9rPCn
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?1830Please respect copyright.PENANAyH0uijZLKR
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAQRulPtGE2x
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAoRHcoPklEi
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAuz8rFI592d
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…1830Please respect copyright.PENANA2OfajU1Tpj
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAAE2EihLnhQ
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA52Vg2xXR6w
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAwxrOppgOmh
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA7jj9H6wrfp
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAK5K5gSA2yg
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAdEGZH1Mp5A
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAvce3Tbjnkd
I give up…1830Please respect copyright.PENANABQRoHdb939
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA8YfmZZmqRg
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.1830Please respect copyright.PENANARMFfEGXcIU
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAJErY5UERhD
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAkJp3cOLRom
1830Please respect copyright.PENANADjF0UAcERd
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAOTqdCXF90r
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAR1RZmtx9Bj
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA5kCgIq5243
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA2rONnzvGS4
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Tv5y4p1M
1830Please respect copyright.PENANANUnUSYOKas
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAnR4mDWXwha
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAMf3eOyu7BH
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?1830Please respect copyright.PENANApKN7d4Tac9
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA1MxKDY0IfI
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAGLQ0bf1LnE
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAQybMR4d6NA
At that moment, my mind goes blank──1830Please respect copyright.PENANA2SAQ9Xi0xn
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAjKwucdgPwH
“─Damn…”1830Please respect copyright.PENANADqIwalFkQi
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAmO0Pihe5mK
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAZbz1EzyMyY
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAEtuKHh4gD4
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANApqxWsAoDDZ
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAJWhkNRN8YM
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──1830Please respect copyright.PENANASbee6gPlbv
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAG3VybO61zV
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAUg9vKIqB9k
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAS6gY7uyGGG
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAorWZwDjl9d
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAuitrhLyniy
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAPRR90MKKE4
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAFrBO2G0n8C
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…1830Please respect copyright.PENANAv6NN74Llqt
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAzEmnpQjEhV
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…1830Please respect copyright.PENANAFKprTw5LRP
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAOEMhok2hXA
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA4bfgNps3tN
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAYbwhMNhYK7
This is very bad.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAB8t622J6ik
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAbOjNjKxlci
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAIZY6qNC0da
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA08eMCDSXDs
My current future plans were just revoked.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAOMtBepGGR1
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAyFe0141XOJ
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.1830Please respect copyright.PENANANnzoz2iJrJ
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAOMz2aeeTrI
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.1830Please respect copyright.PENANArf9B6PP1rG
1830Please respect copyright.PENANADss85vxDLT
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANA1GdrMiofTL
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAyrZaSqGCJU
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAmjQgp4datm
1830Please respect copyright.PENANA9H3Yf8aVwA
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?1830Please respect copyright.PENANA6q9yxDJHU1
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAUkXl2xViyl
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANALEnE3KqQ1u
1830Please respect copyright.PENANARqqYTsdZs1
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAphw6aQdRp4
1830Please respect copyright.PENANACdYcj9zdgX
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.1830Please respect copyright.PENANAuBXmvXHb5V
1830Please respect copyright.PENANAk3vYL91GVF
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.1830Please respect copyright.PENANADq9XL6oMhp
