By the time I noticed it, I realized I had no idea how I got here.1826Please respect copyright.PENANADaAdGCsFjh
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAq8hXisU05P
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAUEkPAjjNSU
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAuCJkC2Olqg
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?1826Please respect copyright.PENANA4uKkOGMQeA
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA6nOiDlCGdB
Finally, I notice my own appearance.1826Please respect copyright.PENANASTDhF2ssIE
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAygQ4HdfWV2
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAkT07KmtjOn
1826Please respect copyright.PENANABNNTdj1sCO
A jet-black mantle blows in the wind; inside the mantle, small glimmers of light can be seen, invoking thoughts of a starry night.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA5WAzTDCBlu
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAVOn9sVkveH
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAX0To90vi67
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAap9hbmKurM
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAtqJlQfZnk2
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA6ABT4NKpZX
“What the hell?!”1826Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2nBWmokto
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAJicKBpWxA8
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAbBbIPt8oN4
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA1IbLThPhj9
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ0HyEJTNE
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAqOKsvKo5nF
“What the hell?!”1826Please respect copyright.PENANAaVAD6pcvm7
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAbpCQtaZpaA
I scream again.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAaX3BKWFl3Y
1826Please respect copyright.PENANANavA052Ycs
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANANlutcetNET
1826Please respect copyright.PENANADaDd9wN2D4
“【Flying Dragon Slash】!!”1826Please respect copyright.PENANALeWxEIjq6A
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAlcqJofPw77
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAX9qQAT6ywG
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ6ppjzxcc
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAFU2bQKc8UJ
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAhT6Tn3l577
“Really, what the hell…”1826Please respect copyright.PENANAgQag9wprXs
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA7dIh53gHNm
Finally, I have the feeling that my thoughts have calmed down. But I still did not understand the situation.1826Please respect copyright.PENANALUqhF0vKPK
1826Please respect copyright.PENANApzULMmzhn3
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANADDs1QNsWCj
1826Please respect copyright.PENANADavqz7hpfP
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5JC45MrnU
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA0kKTmMyzOw
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAw2AGpq5qtx
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAXub5afLV26
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAyUaoCOcGVW
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAnYrdHP22O3
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAa1VwNzEOuH
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAM51xP7VXmj
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAo14c6W6E9S
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAnqpda5uWf3
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAB9g7hcDhAU
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA7cTEPPIjAL
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAO2TdIguna5
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAnENXBJrCHO
No… It’s different from the game.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAuMlwLeJEOB
1826Please respect copyright.PENANApo7vsVOMZF
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANALD0dkGuWC8
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAPO4AvJsH9X
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?1826Please respect copyright.PENANAoA3Mn8Wg78
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAIUH8WmzyMN
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAWpt0nznn5f
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA6tKfTljIeT
With me often reaching the highest level of my occupations, am I able to use all the high-level skills that I had?1826Please respect copyright.PENANAB8X5rlT6ij
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAIueWjr7Sj9
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA1PZNunrg2P
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAn25Q1OPgu8
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA8UNaOuAIOe
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAZjwLWWvhhc
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAhSk3HefPzh
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAZdGwxq5KSy
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?1826Please respect copyright.PENANAKK97J4oyOG
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAyoia8snxj5
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAZeC2bGQqZZ
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA0bRn9zxCtB
I try to invoke the Magician’s support skill,【Transfer Gate】. Pale light is emitted as a three meter wide magic circle appears…1826Please respect copyright.PENANAgRgCeZbC02
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAS2JqvK9Hu3
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAUbhQgAFWl3
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA2sAzHavFM1
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAaBqlM09AdL
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAIsYwQhVYAd
However, I don’t know any locations in this world, It seems that I didn’t move because of this fact.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAXlvjd1Po23
1826Please respect copyright.PENANADGi8jcaJ5U
I give up…1826Please respect copyright.PENANAPnYSLpcZQ7
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAW5LeKVSXG6
Wait, there should be one more skill available for movement. The support skill,【Dimensional step】.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAglVHF7z5M8
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAeEdqr6XPww
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAxKbF4bWMEx
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAHAbscXzthz
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA08b1fGbwxz
1826Please respect copyright.PENANALkny7DY9kA
So I continually use【Dimensional step】to navigate the landscape.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAtbvovsJr7p
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAgCLCy08xWJ
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA06YyM5m5NF
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAJBdBfVhnJz
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAnks46QwyyL
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAHLtLh4vSv9
Why don’t I take a break and have a drink of water?1826Please respect copyright.PENANAj0ly9wQSdn
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAPkgWPeztNo
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAwCJSS8dqxm
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAv3GP70dtze
At that moment, my mind goes blank──1826Please respect copyright.PENANA8kDKINJO2j
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAkyixPdEkYg
“─Damn…”1826Please respect copyright.PENANA0uPvPrtmPd
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAiBdfo9zaIl
My mutter is lost inside the noise of the water.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAMdl7tZ2WxY
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAy5eYYFiQ4z
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAcU2cHrqpcX
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAsin05ERaSv
The water was reflecting the figure of an armored skeleton──1826Please respect copyright.PENANAWkwIbLC8Pk
1826Please respect copyright.PENANANepvfMH20l
I completely forgot it. The kind of avatar I played the game with.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAIVWP5XXikA
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA1iU6KH7Q4d
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAjXChR2Mu5m
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAriKqTYK6Ex
There were also special avatars that charged a fee in order to be obtained; one of the special avatars was『Skeletal Body』.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Q6a0friF
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAG6G6kEJiSG
Despite the fee, “it won’t matter if I’m completely covered in armor,” is what I told my friends…1826Please respect copyright.PENANA6nY0vKG3gK
1826Please respect copyright.PENANArVVmJgWXI9
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…1826Please respect copyright.PENANAnaeOwkb7uo
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAiSIqt8nAcx
To escape reality, I had thought of the past.1826Please respect copyright.PENANArl6xK4IgpN
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAS5aIXXLuc1
This is very bad.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAY6wnnaJsCt
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAfDlDe2SxZW
I can not remove my helmet in public with this appearance. In fact, if I do, I might become a target for monster subjugation.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA8SBXyTQqk7
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA5PucahAf2Z
My current future plans were just revoked.1826Please respect copyright.PENANANG3LvHVscV
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAMoQ3BDn1kO
I will live quietly and not stand out as best as I possibly can.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAcNJzn3PFl6
1826Please respect copyright.PENANA8b4bBkZ0bl
However, my body armor is quite luxurious, and it could attract attention alone… Yet, I can’t remove this equipment.1826Please respect copyright.PENANApxMVmIIIox
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAgCUwpair5P
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANANGPIrHcE9J
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAbc6JCeI7AE
I have to carefully scrape together some money for the time being.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAwzgXknm9TD
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAV5DEgU20rt
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?1826Please respect copyright.PENANAB2XO4Buc11
1826Please respect copyright.PENANACg8yHsADNb
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAEPzXtYz1yU
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAssSbthUk3n
A skeleton laughs in a high-pitched voice in my head… Oops, my mind tried to escape reality again.1826Please respect copyright.PENANAU4K1Danrng
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAEvX1ee5Pp4
First, let’s reconsider the idea of looking for a city. Perhaps I will find some people living at the end of the river.1826Please respect copyright.PENANARjAxFYL3gF
1826Please respect copyright.PENANAyesXVCXZZv
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.1826Please respect copyright.PENANA0Jn3oqJpGI
