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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNRSQpfe1

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?2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZVaR5iyag

Finally, I notice my own appearance.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LInMZAI0h
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1yfszaHLH
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJahTluB32e

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2BUDs4blm
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoJOxJkSNs
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGd3EZI0Rf

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zxLDNKCQ

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRwf1h0vgX

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS9PoESSm3

2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6oSdGoHPy
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdstlyD1I1
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aaCy4lNhI
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvTS3rsdF
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡual8LtS96N
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGXUCGW8tU
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdc0TMeMaL
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHwp2EFh7
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlTPfAhB0B
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytmEeWKGE1
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl64Q6jtVFX
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uEGlTPsll
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdpnwd2FDS
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVLy9dUJdq
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjriRhTYLPZ
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLbODMreb5
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAyX4cnbgk
No… It’s different from the game.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wLA0RLdqo
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTrkPHqIah
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC9OpMRCqu
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKbw0socdD
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?2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDPvFUTvI
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks8CdHlX0b
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR2tyXM3At
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGmXs2jtE8
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy6hAtfIGG
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPeqZrkLLS
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVKLNVbIpj
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWjQdkCrIn
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuBVHs1bjN
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aCJSwGQAX
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlABfrcX4wK
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQkVXlE7U
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?2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB6ybgfBli
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BQ2G3qn0r
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73DL1jBBjX

I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3szdQLiaI
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7M07Wvd1R
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzolXwZDST
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CklZhqtPP
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DtfE3Rtbm

However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf0N7wp7Xk

I give up…2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcH23jNvnt
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDdHRfFE3g
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnDiiCMXt8
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfuP0nMQF
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO2fe5sPMF
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvnl3RMKbl
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLo1EdlN4g
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINCrmuDPKZ
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9suivboQDR

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS78yOkiLxl
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt87cZuOd59
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW4klMJFxd

Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EbifmrY5C

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbd2wvU0ME

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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6kQFMq9iy

I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ1f5zMyuG
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbcIx3V84w
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.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFhTCfsbWU
2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhxci9JJIE
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTSzuTmoAZ

2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XFlY2fMjm
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…2017Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFloXLPHo7F
