By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAMjT06D9gye
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAJirdYkiarz
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAEe43fSUIcI
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA5IjpR9nfml
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?2272Please respect copyright.PENANAx5xyogwICM
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAFwkLUGq7uo
Finally, I notice my own appearance.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAYnh5z6L7UM
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAyPeKUkEXDq
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAn0c077MFzz
2272Please respect copyright.PENANArqwIs5CI5a
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAPlfvVYLsJb
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA3fULIUt4Pt
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAEFWJbw7U4C
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAvfgcqOCOam
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAZRDMZ0DluW
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAL8YEfIx3a9
“What the hell?!”2272Please respect copyright.PENANAfnbYRpggvv
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA8MkECE4S5A
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA4flJ5JE8ZS
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAGFgm8Mubej
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAWHUiqNwMu8
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAj375bn0dmK
“What the hell?!”2272Please respect copyright.PENANAT9D2AuR3oH
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAgEcEnCcYHj
I scream again.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA7ibiybThmZ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAWo9nkP0n8h
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAcTsRrY0o0R
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAAqUcZytqeu
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”2272Please respect copyright.PENANAvOvZ5Qz6fJ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAy47qZS2UMC
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA9cM759CztN
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAAp5txFU7O5
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAk6UnEvMBy2
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ErkpQGRX
“Really, what the hell…”2272Please respect copyright.PENANAik32BJtt7s
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAksKaNieNiz
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAvv3ByUurx5
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAKcaevqXcDD
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAwHzaqDAqZd
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAPmDIo0pwlO
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAy6oYtjfzHL
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAAaqR0WaoV7
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAKuvI3plL6n
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAecF9ahefo8
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANASo0A8zHNiT
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAjokJUWpC0i
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAyj3bBtwvCa
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAxRMeMOl9Hn
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAbMcBS5KBtL
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAxTCyHoNCbr
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAg1LKUvYb2C
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAo60jly2r2o
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAvjhQPE9Hco
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAKVnlap1vS1
No… It’s different from the game.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAZHzgjdjbfG
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAegnUmCiaDm
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANADuez6IU1iT
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAKrYAY7i6sa
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?2272Please respect copyright.PENANAkyzSZdmFNi
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAD01kGIzb83
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAXdIzRLEo3Y
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAwayUHd4ipv
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?2272Please respect copyright.PENANAAUjEbKNzCe
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAQV3TTNjO1b
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAyapLffCAgg
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAyBWLMqHIFh
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAy4lLWARTDV
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAUaaoqCyKz9
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANANfHh9UOENZ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAAF7aZgEZqB
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?2272Please respect copyright.PENANAF6dWkpB6rJ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAhTnXzpXmks
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAq9sQSrPKFz
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAv5SLHgYwVG
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…2272Please respect copyright.PENANAELQzQ0jTUJ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAOTA3dgtq4T
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAiN1rxa1nD1
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA5bWrDM0GtE
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA0mLQzkM2Wr
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA1IHxOBDC0t
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAJQpFkXx5sb
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA6MPlwkMQOj
I give up…2272Please respect copyright.PENANAmKPzBuuIHi
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAVxJbsi00Mc
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAL65O86ioBr
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA9L1ilvQYlT
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAK8YL4ZBIdR
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAvFF3Hurn1u
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA4iYuHlzk8W
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAjwcSh3Pp48
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5TruJ3Vli
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAEyP0vrfmj6
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAKqlcCxva73
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAs4tBBhACuh
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ4yJ0y4fo
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAY3EUww3X7J
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?2272Please respect copyright.PENANAOkSmaxjaGb
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAzTB3rh7QTe
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAnkI9U3M7Ya
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAkJzHTu0TKN
At that moment, my mind goes blank──2272Please respect copyright.PENANA4SdMDNaqOg
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gk1DuUDyc
“─Damn…”2272Please respect copyright.PENANAYqEbqYAve6
2272Please respect copyright.PENANATZhGFeah5N
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAg8sMpOLPyu
2272Please respect copyright.PENANASFaekuxUAa
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAKNJDGh3qIE
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAnRhiR49jI6
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──2272Please respect copyright.PENANAWYoeL8HMWi
2272Please respect copyright.PENANA8v6pUkzwCY
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAFmGGTehcmc
2272Please respect copyright.PENANArbUll6N3TM
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA1a0Nj52Snc
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAEx5wx03c5Q
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAcL8f2Vac4D
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAAJy4yQtI1n
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…2272Please respect copyright.PENANAPo3Lkp58Tc
2272Please respect copyright.PENANATQxQHcmVCp
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…2272Please respect copyright.PENANAVglepcweeH
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAxfCY5r7qC6
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAMtaB3Ul2dP
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAIHmkYTx1U5
This is very bad.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA9btGIcXgyE
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAlADcrVbaOi
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAXCqmhNRaXE
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAt3wFXuP3gZ
My current future plans were just revoked.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAlWmgAVEnzR
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAkejTk5hllT
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAkoa0MunnOa
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ZiuuHcTz
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAJdM3qo4QsZ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAU5MztDvQxm
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAXokkaxcwUd
2272Please respect copyright.PENANArQFtH187Ya
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA2OQZJFqJYu
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAWedNkRWdCW
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?2272Please respect copyright.PENANAOVnCdBxdTJ
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAriJrPFk0G8
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANA7SWRa42IGB
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAgcG5tO9uFp
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAMAzSuhFoAK
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAS9rQqfD1UE
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.2272Please respect copyright.PENANAo683ZlGGkW
2272Please respect copyright.PENANAPurT2Ell1n
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.2272Please respect copyright.PENANALGfcHiAjZn
