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 distance between Amber City and Gealorre Capital wasn’t that far. Should Benjamin take flight at high speed, he would be able to reach Carretas Palace a little over an hour.

"You’re sure?" Benjamin turned his head back midair, and asked Miles solemnly, "The King really wants to see me and not setting a trap waiting for me?"
Miles nodded, "Trust me, the King is perplexed over the Church."
Benjamin sounded contemptuous, "But... Wasn’t he the one who looked for the Church in the first place?"
"Yeah." Miles continued, "But, people make mistakes. The King sensed he was inching to becoming the Church’s puppet and losing authority, so he regretted."
Benjamin went deep into thought and said no more.
