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 heart was not moved by the old man’s threats. Instead, he suddenly looked to the mages behind the old man.
Come to think of it, since they had resorted to burning the books, this showed how the Declaration of the Freedom of Magic had caused a certain reverberation in Desert City. The monopoly of the ‘Desert Shadow’ was being threatened; that was why the old man had burnt the books in such a hurry.
So… Had these other members of the ‘Desert Shadow’ been affected?
"Hey, incantations or laws of meditation, the Declaration of the Freedom of Magic has them all. Why did you still take orders from this old man and burn the books?" Benjamin shouted at the mages behind the old man.
That was right. Not only was he going to knock the props out from under the old man, he was going to do it in front of him.
However, the retort that came from the opposition mages was not as satisfactory as he had expected.
