Arc is the main character of "Skeleton Knight in Another World." He fell asleep while playing an online game and woke up in a world that looks like the game, inside his powerful skeleton avatar. Arc is dressed in the best gear: Belenus’s Holy Armor, Cloak of Night Sky, Teutates’s Shield of the Heavens, and the sacred lightning sword Caladbolg. He has maxed-out levels and a variety of magical powers, such as attack spells, teleportation, healing, and resurrection. Arc tries at first to live quietly and hide his skeleton body. Things change when he meets Ariane and reveals his secret to the elves. Throughout his journey, he searches for a way to break his “curse” and sometimes regains his human form through magic or special hot springs—but these moments are often overwhelming. Though lacking battle experience, his cleverness, handy skills, and real-world knowledge make him unique in this strange world.
