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.
Even though Benjamin did not count them all, but through a rough estimate, he could tell that this group of people were about thirty men strong.
He had a bad feeling about this.
It didn’t matter that he was unsure of their identity or purpose, but they may be just a random group of travelers that were passing through, but to Benjamin they were already a nuisance. They even chose this remote small pass, the only reason is to hide away from prying eyes. To encounter this group of people, isn’t it just the same as revealing their tracks?
So, he had to think of something, to deal with the situation in front of him.
"Didn’t you say that we would not meet anyone if we took this road? What is this then?" he couldn’t help but question in his mind.
"What can I do? These people don’t like taking the major roads, it can’t be helped." The System explained, "If you want to blame anyone, blame your own bad luck, no matter how far out the road, you still met someone."
