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.
Benjamin's only good news was that, in the next few days, Duke Collin did not bring up the matter again.
His intentions were actually transparent: to arrange a purely political marriage and create relations between them and Benjamin, thus getting the support of the giant that was the Academy of Magic. However… Benjamin was still slightly unable to deflect such an attack.
Even the System spat on him, "You are truly destined to be forever alone."
Benjamin could only shake his head helplessly and take refuge in the tavern next door, waiting for their plans to official begin. Duke Collin was also tactful to notice that Benjamin was not keen on the idea at all, and so he did not visit and trouble him anymore.
