This show contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

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 a*s 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?

sh*t, 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 k*lled 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 k*ll.

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!
