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.
Today was not an ordinary day for the sewers of the outer city.
Cold mist drifted, and there were corpses everywhere. The ornamented armors on the floor were dented and scattered everywhere on the frozen mud. In the nearby frozen murky waters, there were already pieces of ice drifting.
What made this day more unusual was that what had happened before happened once again.
On the brick flooring of the sewer, Benjamin was tormented by the curse as he was rolling around in pain and not able to do anything.
Another attempt at "I can retaliate", but another failure.
Michelle walked over the Cleaners’ corpses, and walked to Benjamin’s side. She stared down at Benjamin, without any expression of surprise, as if she had already expected this to happen.
"You never wanted to help me get the treasure, did you?" She said.
Benjamin wanted to reply, but the pain held him back from doing so.
