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.
The bishop turned his head in astonishment.
All he saw, in the night, were three blurry figures walking out from the corner of the village. One was tall, the other two short. They stopped not far away, smiling, and looking to the crowd of the Church's people with slightly mischievous expressions.
The priests were forced to stop advancing in attack.

After ascertaining, the Bishop realized, in utmost shock, that the three opposite of them were the captives they had brought onto the ship with them— the three young people who had come from the cult, causing the octopus attacking their ships to retreat, and were finally tricked by the bishop to go aboard the ship, and even forced by them to point out the sea routes.
As though a cold bucket of water had been poured onto him, the bishop's excitement disappeared instantly. At that moment, he even thought that he had come up with some illusions, and his right hand, which was holding on tightly to the cross, suddenly trembled.
