By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2068Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tanwty1dQ

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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAaxV5rx0auc
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lj3l6XPBg
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?2068Please respect copyright.PENANAsSNSPsqhbp
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAMlj6pnk6kk
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAwWvLi2l0PE
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAIa5cSo7clR
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAyfPsT9aM0y
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAEMCTaAKAJj
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAz86ojCrKx2
2068Please respect copyright.PENANACkdwewZ04U
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAIDMF9LbNBS
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAU7AzwnaXUi
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAWZwQqPBo5U
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAtjiVOCeyPo
“What the hell?!”2068Please respect copyright.PENANASjIlVO4C06
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAKtmmdGlxYK
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANANd7IvH0oer
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAmzwCPArvZu
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAT9CwAbYOUx
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA3wP4jVXe1Y
“What the hell?!”2068Please respect copyright.PENANAHSht2tE7nk
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAECuv4pCn99
I scream again.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAqRV9kQCH4d
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAngUdINXBN1
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAiFGSbU9b4c
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAcrPLP5ubMS
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2068Please respect copyright.PENANAhEYmxCELNv
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAhPb5p31Oul
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAEXU0oizRqZ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA2rmA98Tgo7
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4a6A8iw0L
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAurd43APUp6
“Really, what the hell…”2068Please respect copyright.PENANAjmGukhlEey
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAuzOwKKaGNK
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2068Please respect copyright.PENANANS8oQSljnS
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAQWt8Uxx3cz
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAjUv8vzt8cS
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAloU1CcYMag
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAkwd6rmqFWr
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAqmwMOjf0u9
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAy2fXCumTyK
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAM8bA66inZC
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANATZEG3TNNrQ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAq6mQMGUgRo
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAutq0tvWl3I
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAeSraNnWrWt
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAsbze723UIU
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAQj08aXSlIy
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAi6kkbX6RPC
2068Please respect copyright.PENANACmRo72CZmg
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAmXgUW6ZY3K
2068Please respect copyright.PENANASdyO0UxTWg
No… It’s different from the game.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAiipYKolCDR
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAVb1HsLuNQX
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAHQfL0ZBFX0
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAwGtzQ7TKOQ
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?2068Please respect copyright.PENANAnqlcd9T2BB
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAiKDs7IlChb
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAZgdk7LQ41f
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAtMtUU7LKAO
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2068Please respect copyright.PENANAjjJxT7x0UA
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAMq5DaSprfw
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAUnEDZTnrws
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAwE0q1vY4L1
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAw3upTpysle
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAy7MbgcBzRM
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAnsPsOtwP43
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAOjYdMSJ4aj
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?2068Please respect copyright.PENANAgTNZ4O9KpL
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAwNlMDrRe08
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAzRZM7vgqHo
2068Please respect copyright.PENANANN2GXu2lRx
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2068Please respect copyright.PENANAe7FnRohk01
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA4rRbGr69SI
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAr62tHXgPIO
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAZAeL2FJnsa
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANATV6DjOMraZ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA7roK3mEvQA
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2068Please respect copyright.PENANA4uwpxP9JIG
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAlLOGklGVJP
I give up…2068Please respect copyright.PENANARfMOEUz8hf
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA0qTNWYvXk6
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAIB7jmqAfbZ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA5jEF8llcx1
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAkpiuWOurc8
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA1edG1BsPAZ
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAGf3kIw7TR8
2068Please respect copyright.PENANATETi1L2ByX
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAYpZPdo1zHg
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAilNZ7jcUza
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAH0rfP9k6jK
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAX6JTOs4Aj4
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAsRaEv6H0fC
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAcQdKwsaDBU
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2068Please respect copyright.PENANAeOFFsVVwhZ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAIxvVcoPs4C
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sc3bmxgdK
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAzL4tSti9E1
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2068Please respect copyright.PENANAC2M1P93mcc
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAhUdOcC9r92
“─Damn…”2068Please respect copyright.PENANAUOi7WtYyRa
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAvM9bw3f7gw
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2068Please respect copyright.PENANA6BguXDJuBP
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAsdh2kCb4Rv
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAQItXockHvr
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAtiEp3jx610
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2068Please respect copyright.PENANAVnSPKFWXAZ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANARGrRGfneSG
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAw8LUjxTos9
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAup8FOi5wDJ
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAwrIz4F8KDZ
2068Please respect copyright.PENANApg7mRWx5Or
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2068Please respect copyright.PENANA3rVobfDdM9
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAFYwNofwbFT
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2068Please respect copyright.PENANAWAxLdEdjC3
2068Please respect copyright.PENANApPOPm8a01X
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…2068Please respect copyright.PENANAa7PIwo721L
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAoVbcumrbPJ
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAKdpc3qcl4B
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAT6iq1nLtbG
This is very bad.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAJV0dWFrgmT
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAV4i5RMZx1E
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAa5xMvVoLPp
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA00gCQ2T11y
My current future plans were just revoked.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAnMumjIwuBa
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAMbgvj1KmVB
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAbdcw2DQvrP
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAsyRG8OtR3g
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAE8lTpg2J4S
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA7cBIru0KbN
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAoKy6vIdbxn
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAYdnytxgXaT
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2068Please respect copyright.PENANApkcvBrZTvt
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8UITHX7vI
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?2068Please respect copyright.PENANAUULkVuiDzu
2068Please respect copyright.PENANApLLpISr5XE
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANACgfvjfRx0e
2068Please respect copyright.PENANASSu0qQitqA
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2068Please respect copyright.PENANArxI4XkBb7W
2068Please respect copyright.PENANA445uY2GbP8
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAt7O6GVjF4T
2068Please respect copyright.PENANAiMoShpGw1h
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.2068Please respect copyright.PENANAsUn5Fk1WxQ
