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 advocates for surrendering beside him continued, "Indeed, all of us have come here on behalf of the great director’s words. If this so-called huge barrier ends up shattered, I’m afraid the danger of our situation would only escalate; we can’t guarantee that we can safely return to each of our own cities either."
Logically speaking, these few Regina officials didn’t need to be present at Rock City. However, their determination in coming here, it was as if they wished to witness the day the casting got broken through, and all this was enough to justify their decision to surrender.
