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.
Beyond the most eastern part of the Kingdom of Helius, even further east than the Valley of Broken Armies, was a once a powerful empire that was bordered by the Crusader Gateway.
During the time of the Empire, its relations with the Kingdom was intense. Many wars were waged between the Empire and the Kingdom on the name of religious inquisition. The Church wanted to spread its beliefs far and wide but the Empire resisted, in fear the monarchy would fall to the divine power.
More than ten years ago, tension was brewing between the two nations. To address the situation, the Kingdom even launched a huge scale war education. This was how the "mock tactical games" came to be.
Nevertheless, the confrontation did not last. One night eight years ago, things took a turn for the worse when the King of the Empire suddenly died.
The whole Empire fell into chaos.
