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.
"Big Brother, I want to go home."
This was the first sentence that Benjamin heard as he gradually got closer to the four of them.
At first, his plan was to follow them into a dark alley, then make a surprise attack. Also, he had to take the strange Magical Instruments from them before they get the chance to use it, and then only continue interrogating them.
However, his changed his mind again after hearing what they said.
They came from a relatively mysterious force. He wanted to get more information, therefore, eavesdropping was more reliable than interrogation as he might even get some unexpected news.
He was patient; he carefully got closer to them and listened to what they said.
"How can we go back like this?" Benjamin vaguely heard their voice from not too far away, "We still have not finished the tools that the elder gave. We can still try again."
"But... the exhibition is already over, where can we go?"
