No! Let me go!
Stop it!
Rita! Rita!
Miss!
Whoa, she pissed herself!
Bloody hell
No!
Stop!
Do you men realize
what'll happen if you—
Better worry about yourself!
We'll treat you nice like your
little miss soon enough.
There we go!
Stop it! Stop! Please stop!
Huh? Why's it so dark?
Who are you supposed to be?!
Hi there. It's me, Arc.
That was kind of repulsive,
so I went with a sneak attack.
Where exactly am I?
What the heck is this?!
The heck is this?!
The heck is this?!
Okay, calm down, me.
I recognize this gear.
It's got light and fire element resistance!
On top of all kinds of passive supports!
A totally OP set of armor!
The Holy Armor of Belenus!
The Twilight Cloak, which has darkness
resistance and provides mana regeneration!
Providing status immunities
that are based on your level
The Holy Shield of Teutates!
And the blade that strikes as fast
and bright as the lightning it's bathed in
The Holy Thunder Sword, Caladbolg!
No doubt about it!
This is my character
from that game: Arc!

I remember falling asleep
playing yesterday, but
Is this a dream?
Still, the sensation of holding this
sword seems too real for that.
Not to mention super-sweet!
I'm covered in metal armor
and I barely even notice the weight.
It's not hot, either.
Well, may as well try it out, I guess!
Let's see I think it was like this.
Wyvern Slash!
Wyvern Slash
Seriously, what the heck?!
Was the Wyvern Slash
skill always this powerful?
Maybe I can use magic, too
Fire!
F
i
r
e
Th-That'll come in handy.
Am I inside of the game somehow?
But it all seems way too realistic for that.
Let's see, yesterday I fell
asleep while playing
My primary job was Holy Knight,
with a sub-job as a Priest
Which means I shouldn't
be able to use a Mage's Fire at all.
Maybe I'm able to use all the skills
from the upgrade path to Holy Knight?
Summoner
Sacred Knight
Bishop
Sorcerer
Knight
If that's the case
Mage
Soldier
Monk
I'm super strong!
I am so glad I didn't get stuck
with just the Holy Knight skills!
The devs really threw those
together mostly for aesthetics.
And I wouldn't be a real gamer if I didn't
want to put these skills to the test!
But maybe I should eat first.
No food, and no funds either
Guess I better find a town or something.
Gate!
Gate
M-Makes sense
Gate is magic for teleporting
to towns you've already been to.
But since I wasn't given any options,
I assume I need to have a destination
in mind for it to work here.
Hang on, there's another skill that
should be handy for getting around.
Dimension Move
Dimension Move!
There we go.
In the game it let me teleport to
any point on the screen I clicked on
But in this world, it works as a kind
of short-range, line-of-sight teleportation spell.
There's not much delay to it,
so it should be pretty handy for transportation!
And to be honest,
I'm having a blast!
Man, that is some realistic-looking water!
Crap. I did pick the skeleton avatar
This is really bad.
If I show up in town looking like this,
it wouldn't just be a commotion
They'll try and exterminate me as a monster!
I refuse to become someone else's XP!
Okay!
Let's draw as little attention as possible!
That's the only way.
A-And I had better not take my
helmet off in town, no matter what.
Luvierte Castle Town
Did you hear?
There's another huge basilisk about.
I hope I never run into it.
Okay, cool, I seem to be fitting in.
How about it, Sir Knight?
I can make you a good deal.
Oh, I actually don't
have any money on me.
Well, that's strange,
considering how impressive he looks.
Can't have a fantasy setting
without an inn-slash-pub!
Now that I'm getting a better look,
this place is definitely
heavy on the medieval,
maybe not so heavy on the fantasy
What is this rich aroma?!
I-I need to get something
to pay for it with, first
I guess back alleys still look
the same, even in a fantasy world.
I'm telling you, even the vaguest
information would be enough!
You don't know when to quit, do you?
I couldn't turn anything up, all right?
Understand?
In spite of the fact that I paid double
your usual rates for the investigation?
And investigate I did!
But it wasn't a "payment upon
success" kind of job, was it?
Pain in the ass elf
Ex-squeeze me?!
Sh-she really is an elf!
Now that's fantastical!
I-I can't just stand here
She's gone? That sucks!
Mercenary Guild
A mercenary guild?
Here we go!
You could accept quests that'd
pay out in places like this in the game, too!
Impressive
Who's that?
Never seen him before.
Have you got a second?
You need a mercenary's
license in order to accept
the quests on the board, right?
That's right.
Then set me up with one!
Are you joking, mister?
From the look of it, you're a knight
who's already got fine employment.
Crap!
I should probably sound the
way I look if I wanna avoid suspicion!
Circumstances have
led me to require the license.
I'd ask you to not probe further.
Fair enough, I suppose.
But there's a trial before
you can get a license.
Beasts, monsters, or bandits.
You need to hunt three of any,
and then return with proof.
Woo, monsters!
Forgive me, it is a personal matter.
Then I need only bring
proof that I've slain three,
and you will provide my license?
Right.
Even the kids around
here know that much.
Understood. I shall return.
Do you suppose that
knight will be all right?
Leave him be.
You can tell his situation's complicated.
Forced to take merc work
to pay for his sick child, I'd say.
That's a damned tragedy!
Good luck, Sir Knight!
L-Looks like I got a
randomly-assigned backstory
One more to go.
One more and then delicious-smelling
grilled meat will be mine!
Gotta say, I was really excited about
the prospect of monsters, but
I guess the real fantasy
stuff is actually pretty rare.
Another boar?
An orc?!
A typical starter trash mob!
Now that's fantastical!
Commemorating the first
monster I've ever slain!
One orc, down for the count!
Episode 1
The Wandering Knight Sets Out to Make the World a Better Place
That orc was bigger than I figured.
M-Man, I just stumbled
into some real trouble!
From the look of things, I'd say that's
a lady in good standing and her maid?
Well, it's pretty obvious
where this is going.
Pretty obvious whose side
I should take, too. But
These are humans.
Not like fighting a monster.
It's less like hunting and more like PvP.
No! Let me go!
Stop it!
Rita! Rita!
They've got a huge numbers advantage.
Miss!
In PvP, if you're outnumbered,
you usually don't stand a chance.
Miss! Miss Lauren!
Whoa, she pissed herself!
Bloody hell
No!
Stop!
Man, it just keeps getting worse!
Do you men realize
what'll happen if you—
Better worry about yourself!
We'll treat you nice, like your
little miss, soon enough.
It'll be okay! I can manage this!
I'm covered head to toe
in Mythic-class gear!
There we go!
No!
Stop! Stop it! Please stop!
Huh? Why's it so dark?
Wh-What the hell just happened?
Shit, this is bad!
Wh-What was that?!
Boss!
W-Wait for me!
Wyvern Slash
Wyvern Slash!
Is everything all right?
Thank you for saving us.
This is Lauren Laraiya du Luvierte,
of the Luvierte family.
I am her attendant, Rita.
Hey, it was no big
I must ask, given your appearance,
are you a knight in the service of some lord?
Well, my character premise in the game
was that, despite becoming a Holy Knight,
I was hit with a nefarious curse,
and that I'm on a knight's journey across
the land to find a way to cure myself
Well
Ahem.
We can speak later.
For now, you should
clothe yourselves.
I shall clean up the
mess the bandits left.
O-Of course!
Thank you, sir.
Come, miss, let's be on our way.
All righty, these guys might be bandits,
but I'd feel bad just leaving their bodies out.
You can at least serve as
nourishment for the wildflowers.
Fire!
I've never killed anyone before.
Kinda surprised at the lack of guilt.
Is it because they were bad guys?
Those horses must belong to the bandits.
Glance.
Good! They're not
paying attention to me!
Time to loot all of the bandits' stuff!
There we go.
That oughta cover
my expenses for a while.
E-Excuse me
Y-Yes?
I see you two have
sorted yourselves out.
Thank you so much for aiding
us in our time of need.
It was a dreadful thing that happened.
I'm not sure how much comfort it is,
but I'm relieved you ladies weren't hurt.
And now I can head back into
town and get me some tasty meat!
We'll be returning to the Luvierte house.
If it's all right with you
Sir Snight, I can never thank
you enough for what you've done.
It's quite all right. No thanks are necessary.
I was simply in the vicinity.
What?! Sh-She's staring holes in me!
Sir Knight, you still haven't
told us your name.
I am simply a traveler
on a winding journey
My name is Arc.
And that was how the Knight Arc
took his first step towards a low-profile life.
Man, I'm still hungry.
Luvierte
That's three.
Can you draw up that license now?
Uh, I can, but
I didn't expect you'd be back with
your proof before the day was out.
Congratulations, Sir Knight!
Care to join us for a round?
Uh, I appreciate the offer,
but perhaps another time.
Mister, you forgot to take
the rune stone off the orc.
Rune stone?
You always wanna remove the rune
stone from any monsters you kill.
They can be made into
magic items and weapons.
And here's your mercenary license.
Very good.
If you're looking for work,
just check the board.
Nothing too remarkable
gets posted there, though.
If you want to take bigger jobs,
you'll need to join a mercenary guild.
Okay! Everything is set, now!
And with that being the case
Madam! I intend to celebrate.
Have the food brought to my room
as quickly as possible!
Of course!
Delicious!
So good
Flavors and fragrances
I've never had before.
And it tastes even better after the wait!
It's a little warm, but this ale is great, too!
Nice and fruity!
Rune stone from an orc, huh?
It's pretty!
I managed to handle some quests,
and I was able to get some food, too!
This is no game!
It's reality! Another world!
There's plenty of other
skills I want to try,
and more fantasy stuff
for me to encounter!
I can't wait to start questing tomorrow!
