New World Arc
Upon awakening a gamer finds himself in his avatar body that he used in his online game. Going by a river he is shocked to discover that his facial appearance is that of a skeleton due to the customization skin he used. In unfamiliar territory, the gamer decides that it would be best to hide his appearance and search for inhabitants. He spies a band of bandits attacking a group at a distance. While contemplating whether or not to get involved, after he sees the the bandits about to rape a pair pf women, he springs to action, killing the men. The women introduces themselves as Lauren Roberts, a noblewoman, and Rita Farren, her maid. Introducing himself as Arc, the knight agrees to escort the two ladies to the town of Rubierute. Though he refuses a reward, to avoid meeting Lauren's father, Buckle, as it would cause complications should the noble ask to see his face, Rita gives him a copper passport to allow him easier passage through any city in the territory.

After selling several articles from the bandits for funds, Arc decides to become an adventurer, thus he registers at the Rhoden Kingdom's Adventurer's Guild. After subjugating three beasts to gain admission into the guild, Arc takes an assignment in Rita Village. He meets a young girl named Marca, his client and helps her collect herbs in the forest. The pair come across two Giant Basilisk, to which Arc slays to protect his charge, though the other escaped. And later upon returning to the village come across the Fanged Boar, which Arc also kills and offers its corpse to the village. In order to avoid creating a panic amongst the villagers, he asks Marca to refrain from mentioning about the Giant Basilisks.

A few days after returning to Rubierute, there is an uproar of an adventurer group known as Iron Fang slaying a Giant Basilisk. Though Arc knows they are taking credit of his deed, he allows to so as not to draw attention. The tale of the monster slaying attracts the attention of Viscount Buckle, who questions the validity of their claim. Arc takes the opportunity to vouch for them stating he saw a pair of the creatures in the area.

Arc later travels to Diento and hears rumors that a band of adventurers that vanished near the base of the Calcutta Mountain Range. While doing some hunting in the forest, Arc is ambushed by a band of thieves, but he easily dispatches them. He finds the thieves based in a cave and slaughters the remaining men. Arc beings to salvage what goods he can take, and comes across a strange green fox creature in a cage. Taking pity on the creature, Arc releases it and heals its wounds inflicted upon it by the bandits. Rather than run free the fox chooses to remain as Arc's side, to which Arc names it Ponta.

Arc and Ponta traveled together back to Diento an came across a lone figure by the Rydel River. Arc notices that the figure is an elf and decides to greet him. The elf taken by surprised by Arc'a abrupt appearance readies to fight. Arc attempts to show his sincerity, though the elf doesn't trust the human knight, but eventually lowers his guard upon seeing Ponta. The elf explains that Ponta is a spirit beast and normally wouldn't approach humans. The elf explains he was searching for a group of captured elves before departing back into the forest.

Arc eventually reached Diento and the next day decided to explore the surrounding forest. He spied a pair of elves fighting against a band of kidnappers who had taken several elven children. While debating on whether or not to interfere, after the humans began to coerce the elves to stand down with the threat of harming the children, Arc acted and attacked the kidnappers. After the kidnappers were all killed, Arc proceeded to free the elves from the cage, but was stopped by the female elf who demanded why he should be trusted. The appearance of Ponta however alleviated her concerns and he was allowed to use his magic to heal and free the children from the Collars of Submission.

Arc takes a commission with the elves promising to help free their brethren in Diento.
