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.
Grant’s face changed immediately
"Benjamin... Has he always been in contact with you?"
"No, this is the first time he’s sent a letter in such a long time," Claude explained quickly, "This letter is for you but it didn’t manage to reach you, so I have to forward it to you..."
Grant waved his hand instead and interrupted Claude.
"Do you know what he did outside of the country?"
Upon hearing that, Claude watched as Grant became agitated, he then fell silent. After a short while, he answered to Grant by nodding his head.
Grant noticed that he was being inappropriate, he took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, but his voice still bore a sense of resentment, "He hid from all of us, became a mage, and even announced this secret to the public on the stake... Yes, he ran away, but did he think about what would happen to us?"
Claude looked up, "He went up to the stake for you."
