By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMb1BnWB1b

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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oGFXfZ1ro
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvwW7sfRno
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?1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRxGYAohG0
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tIA3YTf8M
Finally, I notice my own appearance.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ9qQ8Fovk
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJPfgmrlKO
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPevjGiFQaG
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i98GdAuAL
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUmA4LJbhk
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLksvMNhHqU
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfSI1YvV0b
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgUVQm81hS
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR679qBSA0
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnNmr6nAD3
“What the hell?!”1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLC2vMoCKM
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb1EtcoQQN
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ochW72df
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSya1F8CW6o
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOn5jRcCDg
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YgIRGAAGT
“What the hell?!”1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeEQ6eUy04
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lLGQzjKLU
I scream again.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsoRpBCrc
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPQMyOVf7a
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGjmDGcMu3
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjjR1v3HPL
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vI1zEkvCv
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4eCr6qReS
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzjdpEcW6s
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOwcRjlcB3
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRDBkWFWmZ
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUvtcmjxO5
“Really, what the hell…”1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo94WUNUGGN
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPj226gFlA
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAgtAOfjjV
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcUSxN7OFg
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLZp4jhsO
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbLX8Gehtb
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZhNZ68mbq
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ3B8uADLZ
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZHljXKtzy
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAoGS9Xu3z
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxYwnA5dYr
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSupcTxLUQY
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbDpyZ3ZW
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFq8ln024
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2F4sbdNq3
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsNrYCo1uR
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAn5imogO9
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtNolVsPXD
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmTVJDJeRD
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpE2liwp0h
No… It’s different from the game.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMdFoAwceL
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrKiNyLzNQ
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGJRdo329Z
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRmD4tNNuj
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?1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFRTuZ8FXr
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34WoPiCbv
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk9A3Xz89o
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoWOIfu9g2
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaHq0pedHA
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8znCVetuT6
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4xeRIejo9
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztpd3RUiQn
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RY4ChOr1j
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FDW1gKatb
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLlfZq0sI1
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd4TwjENpX
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?1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmkKdNJYVv
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7QGzR6bS
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCECQ05xxW
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKMq5tgOP
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFgUSrvUD
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW4IS5X36i
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea0LdYvvW1
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrrqHSWLQd
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg4GZyVapu
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FnR9KSS4E
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjDI1Y6Ayc
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zxNp671jb
I give up…1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI1MdgjGLF
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDu0rTU3Z
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8137xchYH7
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg2w9iCD41
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOQyXJnH8M
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJx3JWX7yg
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dL7sC65P0
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQUWS3RXUR
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrn2tmqhBA
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6LSFFzW3c
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXuUDF18v
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVL3spOurD
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qkWIC0gx
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04HKYaa8OY
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gq2NYFyeL
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZg5lpKt9
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdaUidtVI
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqghAo3VaTN
At that moment, my mind goes blank──1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkOSqdTzkf
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrtQ55zcQ7
“─Damn…”1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G1q9dNvde
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTESAV3e51c
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNUhtAucOJ
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlqkgozS4A
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThfgxsmFZF
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4mQs3leYK
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPAK0vzvQT
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISUgBZlgdp
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFUYn1I8MP
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJVpgt5Gpu
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWBOEADVQV
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCa6EmemWj
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTIJHCbqXm
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRHGxYPuwz
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ9i54fdD2
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2FdEK0odO
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…1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0l47DkVHO
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED3PxinfKl
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYEdd6gkrF
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokm9EeIG4K
This is very bad.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTYIsUqAZ4
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPlsvxcqXE
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LwGfMY109
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26mU2jgfJ0
My current future plans were just revoked.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa9oMvtU34
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ukJ0TgjFs
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBHDmMB12P
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMixYM0XRN
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8xfhT8HRm
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oBmlZlE59
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRWc5cZ6NR
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7718Of5MW
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzEP3GbtRh
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrVfoJkzbL
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?1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ghlykvWYS
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8YxXHpwl6
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXDGhn0Zo7
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjpkrxp9pB
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO1ZPd5wrg
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABxbSzxlqs
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFAADRjLuQ
1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJEC1k5V6
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.1920Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mStDjX7uP
