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.
Benjamin’s meeting with the King did not last very long. After about half an hour later, they left the restaurant.
They had come to agree on a secret alliance.
"I can help you to take care of the Church but conversely, you should contribute in return. I want to build a real magic school. The land, manpower, funds... will be provided by you."
When Benjamin first made his request, the King was caught off guard. But he knew that he didn't have much choice. Benjamin did not have the intention to seize power so agreeing to these terms was better than being impinged by the Church.
Therefore, the King nodded in agreement and did not protest.
Thereafter, he started to provide Benjamin about the Church’s latest information. Benjamin then had realized, how deeply invested the Church was.
