By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ57aIOlxH

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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFOlQFnrEJ
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8esGQYrCcc
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?1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQmSzmHuUw
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIonHWi81X
Finally, I notice my own appearance.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkdRUVwP0z
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1J16g5xX
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXjYElLwaC
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWsyIMu9lS
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfsGNuYRDs
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG90EKnjPsD
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdbz1SVYfZ
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avZbMdxgt
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuFpesNyH8
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoiu2PM73Q
“What the hell?!”1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDlkD8H1hp
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PriTz6TZO
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVtAdDT36U
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6huWBFd91
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4tOSgg71b
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmfSJVCIF6
“What the hell?!”1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Y3TRUkPT
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhpkQsQ6NP
I scream again.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2bQHiBao
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEFmZUXa4k
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL7vwO0Dpn
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS0jbaXFnI
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqd2wdtpHR
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aHvJNkjhr
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bxqefGEls
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsKrp2DxDE
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDM9tPFekV
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELYifPkQGE
“Really, what the hell…”1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGDukg9b2h
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw9SV66HJV
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vdGH7xUyP
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6VUnBbiJf
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqYWkn3vPY
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvVpgSRS34
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQWBMbLMqK
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9LDf2YtCx
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxl3wPoxKs
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur4Z5ywowO
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGL61kaorB
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8X0yvKFf7
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrhYAH0d6a
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIeiuc6Kpx
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVApo0XS6x
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe1KNaHaXq
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LzKfAkVw
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70wNFxF4L
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jiyA0axX
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NnQlubPcr
No… It’s different from the game.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIBa2nd0ug
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppmrBfSxyI
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IbVluKw6W
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRynGsHKfg
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?1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCgPbuv0nv
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlKxQHwfBU
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn81jilYJrC
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9FL8hiXVl
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjbXba0Xc
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dJnl9hhdr
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9lsqVaz8e
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY1wxhniVO
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYNt2SehZ
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnVVZH0cT3
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp3rQ4GNpG
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2cggu8j4i
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?1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIslaaqYfLY
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDlVhVeRmb
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0cX8JoKP7
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI6uOjqKeG
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgHEwEZN4
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfDD899Rnc
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDKeNa8CHR
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrVoijQVh9
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV62YJ9zN3O
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnvWKUXBkp
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifHJS66K1u
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHK9LdiS7c
I give up…1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX9L5pnpBo
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxIF3LyDHo
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVNBnnTqL8
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2qJLgnB25
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZTdi8EkxE
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtocbS50EQ5
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf5DJJGYE5
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfseT9GidN
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkR6wMuf8G
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQEzZItuhB
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbW6NC7PpY
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDCrxEspAh
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVXpb8kI8p
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLyJ5cO4rk
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXarvYVJsk
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEe74Av4gM
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0vieCLr2t
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHls5PkJwG
At that moment, my mind goes blank──1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW7PnUrJnC
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoaA2l1qCi
“─Damn…”1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO29StyZseG
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG46cTHd8v
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHTEFM3qPj
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnwT9597Fe
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3oHLFYOV
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnpxkjoAK7
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg2A5JT4zt
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCoAE8fmg5
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWjCt58Q7b
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzjHhR7Oyv
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuhcrJscKT
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBK8GIXLIp
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8QvcxAof2
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEdnzrUHeu
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYLfA7IsK4
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2JLYAn6zR
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…1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3o425ghis
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M1XWTalFf
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna8W1y2j4S
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuyatOZIJO
This is very bad.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBirZmLcU
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxH0l6oUxz
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MBzmLdUFv
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9VySyR4BB
My current future plans were just revoked.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOCvCyNAi6
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjSuKXsDMc
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrRzqoFDXO
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQruYZ8cBT
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2EVWKFk9e
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMPy3atpPd
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihK49dZLOG
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rVTwoFlWP
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3z6cfwnzH
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72fH9pvmaG
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?1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLuDJ7UohU
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVWXd0k7uE
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ckg49AsvA
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLuaCxjjhZ
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPr17U4aKv
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSynuVNzLfF
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5utp2OBTmB
1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlON0sHC2n
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.1960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLJjbE4gUV
