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 could only slowly begin to accept the fact that the System had now become a 5-cent-special-effect "funny" emoji after 10 minutes straight of laughing.
It doesn’t matter now... He never had high expectations for the System in the first place.
"How did you save me from the dagger?" He faced the taunting face, trying to maintain a serious expression, "What’s your new ability? Show me."
"Ah, about that..." the System’s tone suddenly turned a little awkward. "Honestly, I’m not so sure what happened either. But if you return to reality, I can show you again."
Return to reality? It can’t do it in the Space of Consciousness?
Thinking along these lines, Benjamin left the Space of Consciousness and returned to his room in the hotel feeling confused. He was daydreaming on the bed; his surroundings were very quiet, with not much noise around.
"Can we begin now?" He asked silently.
"Hold on, it won’t be much longer...I’m counting down now, 3, 2, 1, start!"
