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.
When he heard the question, Benjamin began to panic.
Damn!
Before he could hesitate, he started an incantation so he could be ready to subdue the knife-scarred man with magic in the shortest time.
What the man said was enough to ruin the whole plan.
Actually, regardless of what the knife-scarred man found out, Benjamin should be able to deal with it. For him to discover the gun was part of Benjamin’s plan, since it will lower the man’s suspicion.
But the knife-scarred man somehow found out that he was a mage.
Magic was Benjamin’s trump card, if it was revealed, Benjamin’s situation would be reduced from infinite possibilities to him just hanging onto a single thread of luck. At this moment he could only start an incantation and pray in his heart that the knife-scarred man would not have time to react just after discovering his identity. Otherwise, he might have fallen directly for that man’s trap.
Luckily, it looks like the knife-scarred man had only just found out the truth.
