I can't log out.
I panicked. If I think about it, I don't know how to log out. I didn't receive an explanation or a tutorial.
How do I return to reality?
「Logout...」
I was murmuring that, but nothing happened.
「Logoff. Close. Interruption. End. Menu. Open. Save」
Nothing happen.
「Menu open. Main menu. End menu. Options menu. End options. Window. Window open. Menu window. End window. Memory. Save. End save. Overwrite save. Reset. Clear. Comeback. Return. End. Over. Finished...」
I tried everything I can think of but nothing happened.
I can't return to reality.
No, rather, is this really a game?
My senses are telling me this place is real. Without a doubt. It is impossible that this is a dream.
Even if this was really inside a game and a virtual reality, I have never heard of such a perfect virtual reality. Yet, through only a click with the mouse in the browser. Headgear or something like that, I don't have such equipment.
And I have a sense of reality yet this is not a virtual reality world. If I have to say it in one way or another, this is reality.
But, there is a reason why I think this is a game. I use appraisal and look at myself.

Because that kind of thing is possible, this must be inside a game, right?
However, after seeing my appearance, I have confirmed. The blood stained in my jersey.
If this was a game, things like blood disappear. So if this was a game, why didn't the blood disappear no matter how much time has passed?
Is this place really inside a game? No, if this is a game, why can't I log out? Can I return to reality?
[Warning! You have selected to thrown away this world to live in another world. It is not possible to come back to this world. Do you continue?]
The last memory at my house. At the end of the setting, I'm sure that question appeared. That may be true.
Certainly, I can use appraisal and I have what seems to be the level 6 weapon armament, Durandal, as well. Just because this may be inside a game, I can't be relieved. If this is the setting of the world that I choose, that warning that appeared may be real.
「Excuse me」
When I was thinking about such things, the village chief has entered. He entered with a tub made of wood, filled with hot water.
「Ah, yes」
「Please, wipe your body with this hot water」
There was what appears to be a maid, an old lady and she leave the tub and a plain towel. It's only a piece of cloth rather than a towel.
「Sorry」
「A change of clothing was prepared. Because your clothes got dirty, we have to wash them」
「Please do」
The old lady fold up the clothes and put them on the plank. From her age of 66 years and the impression that I received, I think that she's the village chief's wife. After finishing, she went out with the village chief.
I, who was alone, take off the jersey and wipe my body with the towel. The jersey has red stains in several places. Thieves' blood.
There is no sign that it's going to disappear, no matter how much time passed. If this is not inside a game, of course it's not going to disappear. As expected, this is not inside a game.
I let out a great breath.
Indeed, I can use appraisal, and I have the level 6 weapon armament. Nevertheless, who decided that this was the inside of a game?
Final warning. It's really not possible to go back.
Including the last warning, this is a world where the settings I chose are valid. In other words, this is reality. The warning was for this other world.
Yes. I have to accept this.
I noticed. I was only escaping from reality.
From what reality was I escaping from?
Homicide.
If this was within a game, I only defeated a character in the game. But if this is not a game, I didn't kill a character but a person.
That's why, I wanted to think that this is a game.
It is only an escape from reality, a wish. Just an illusion.
I must accept this. This is my reality.
I've committed murder. I killed a person.
Killing while thinking it is just a game event, but the sensation of Durandal still remains in my hand. I took the life of another person.
But if I think about it. This is a world where it's normal that thieves attacks a village. If I can't log out, it's possible that I'm going to have to kill somebody again. I will not be able to avoid that.
If I can't avoid that, it's likely that I'm going to be done for, thinking this is just a game. When it's important I have to be cold, or I'm going to suffer.
The opponent was a thief.
I don't need to be depressed or worried. If i didn't do it, they would have done something to me. It's necessary that I have to accept this reality.
I breathe deeply one more time and prepare myself.
This is reality. And, this is the world I'm going to live in from now on, To live, it's necessary to dirty my own hands. I don't need to fear that. I must do whatever is necessary.
This reminds me, there is another reason to think that this place is from the settings I have chosen. I try to think about the character reset.
The character screen appears in my mind. It seems that it's possible to move the cursor in the image.
Resetting the character with the bonus points appear to be possible. As expected, all of the setting is adjusted. Even the last warning is included.
I don't know why the bonus points became 1. I used them completely, did I failed to notice?
For the time being, I closed the character setting.
I'm going to change to the clothes that the village chief brought me. The shirt and the trouser are large. Though both are indigo, the color of the trouser is darker. Although they are stiff and uncomfortable, it's not to the point I can't wear them.

Apparently this does not count as equipment. I don't have Durandal in my equipment, must be because I removed it from my waist.
By the way, should I remove the bonus equipment?
Durandal is certainly an amazing sword. A very amazing sword. I felt it when I was fighting the thieves. Aiming with it was very easy.
If this is a game, they can't steal it. But, if this is not a game, there is no such restriction.
I have sandal boots on. This certainly belongs to somebody. If I can make the sandals boots from someone mine, they can make Durandal their's too.
This is dangerous for two reasons.
First, if they steal my Durandal, there is the possibility I will lost the 63 bonus points. The bonus points are the few allies I have in this world. No, you can say they are the only allies I have (the 99 points). I cannot lose them.
Secondly, the person that stole Durandal might be aiming for my life.
What is the death penalty in this world? The level decrease and you revive in the church?
In any case, it's better if I don't carry Durandal often. If it's really necessary, I can just reset the points.
The moment Durandal is stolen, I only have to erase it. Let's try to enter the setting when I don't have Durandal. …I can't tamper with the level 6 weapon armament setting. The ring is equipped, so I can change its setting. Like I figured, when Durandal is stolen, I lost the bonus points.
I close the character setting and carry Durandal. I reopen the character setting in my mind.
I remove armament 6. The bonus points became 67.
How should i use the bonus points? I chose necessary experience 1/10 and increased experience x10. Bonus points remained: 35 I chose necessary experience 1/20, bonus points: 3. I chose Job setting and third job (bonus points 2), bonus points 0.
The character setting closed. Durandal has disappeared.
I think about job setting.
My job appears in my mind. Villager Lv2 Thief Lv2 Hero Lv1.
Because I choose the third job in character reset, it increases by one. When I choose Hero Lv1, the information appears in my mind.
Hero Lv1 Effect : Increased HP – Increased MP – Increased physical strength – Increased stamina – Increased wisdom – Increased spirit – Increased dexterity – Increased agility Skill : Over howl (TL: I don't know how to translate that skill, but I think it's like a war cry)
Did I have it from the beginning? No, that is impossible. If I acquired the thief job when I stole the sandal boots, then the hero job comes after. Maybe it was when I defended the village from the thieves.
I tried to change my first job to hero but I couldn't do it. I can only choose villager or thief as the first job. Why?
The effect of villager is an insignificance increased of stamina. No skills. Quite shabby.
It can't be helped, I'm setting the third job as hero Lv1. The effect of hero is amazing. At least it can't be compared to villager.
The second job is thief Lv2. The effect of thief is a very small increased in agility. It's better than villager.
The job setting is finished, the status is confirmed.
