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.
After discussing about the forbidden spells with Frank, Benjamin had dinner and went back to his room.
Originally he had planned to meditate to gather more water elemental energy, but when he sat on his bed, he couldn’t help but frown like he had forgotten something important.
….what did he forget?
After frowning for a good while, Benjamin suddenly had an epiphany.
Previously in the Underground Remains, he had found a dead adventurer in one of the hidden rooms. He had taken two old and broken books from that corpse and kept it in his bag as some sort of reward. He’d forgotten all about them until now. Since he was free, he decided to take them out for inspection.
The dead explorer must’ve been a mage. Although he seemed to be from a distant past, the books were still printed in an understandable language. Benjamin hoped that the wisdom of these ancient texts might lend him some help or inspiration.
