(Average+) Skeleton Knight in Another World

Series in one sentence:
Skeleton man is from our world, but why?

Series in more sentences:

A man suddenly awakens inside the body of his in-game avatar, but when reminded of his choice of race and power level, decides he shouldn't stand out too much.

After helping an elven warrior who learns of his appearance, he lies to her about his predicament and calls it a curse. When she brings up a possible cure and he experiments with his own magic, he begins to believe he might very well be cursed.


An alright anime with unnecessary flaws, one of them being the choice of genre. Why is the main protagonist from another world? Why does he care so little to be stuck in a game, or a walking skeleton? It muddles the story, as the mystery of a knight suddenly finding himself cursed is interesting
enough. Now the mystery is "I'm from Earth, how did I get here?", but it's one the main character himself doesn't care for.
Animes like these rarely bring the protagonists back home, this is a red herring mystery, for lack of a better word.

Also, that molestation scene the show opens up with is really.. not great. It's not the only instance of a woman about to get sexually assaulted. A cheap way to make us hate a villain, I wish there was less of it in anime.
