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.
Maybe it was because it has been a long time since Benjamin disguised himself as a beggar, when the mages turned their heads, they could not recognize Benjamin.
"I’m sorry, we are also very poor, we have no money to give you."
Hearing this, Benjamin impatiently shook his head. He wiped the dirt off his face and looked at the five people again, and said with a soft voice: "It’s me, Benjamin, do you really not recognize me?"
Immediately, the five of them recognized Benjamin, a few of them were so surprised they quickly covered their mouths, almost yelling out loud.
Benjamin could only quickly gesture for them to be quiet, to not be so excited.
"Tea… Teacher Benjamin." Joanna said in a low voice, "why are you here also? Did those guards bring you in? They say they are capturing mages under the command of the queen, what is going on?"
Instead Benjamin replied: "I’m here to look for you, where are the others? Where did they go?"
