Kubei was just an ordinary pencil and button pusher working a day job, hating his boss and making horrible speeches when one day he fell asleep after pushing an all-nighter. When he woke up, he was bound to a chair, facing three creepy robed women and in a body way too young and way too weak to be his own. As he slowly came to, he realized that he was no longer in the same universe as he was before. He had teleported to the Kingdom of Helius, where an all-powerful church rules its lands and wages war against the elusive group known only as Mages. Armed with an incredibly cocky neural interface that just won’t shut up and his own sheer wit, our MC will find himself not just fighting to survive, but maybe even something bigger than himself.
The mages around started to be on alert following Benjamin’s statement. They looked toward those spies who were standing up and started to notice how suspicious they were.
However, there were still people who were unwavering.
"If that’s the case… Then we will attempt a Grenade of Holy Light." One of the spies put on a bold face and blurted.
"Alright then, please start."
The situation was growing intense. These spies exchanged glances. Some of them were unwilling; it was quite obvious that not everyone had the determination to break their faith under such circumstances.
The mages summoning the divine art was definitely contrary to the Church’s teachings. The reason for them, as mages, coming forth as spies was to wash away their "sins." If they attempted the Divine Art while undercover, wouldn’t they be dwelling deeper in their sins? Hence, from their perspective, this was already becoming a paradox.
