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 felt as though he had become a magic tuition teacher.
The merchants of Carretas are a tier of citizens that stood head and shoulders above everybody else. The Church had yet to influence them, and Benjamin needed more allies, which is why he eventually chose to approach the merchants. However, these people were not interested in opposing the Church, what they were interested in was the ability to wield magic.
Thus, Benjamin held out an olive branch for them.
With this, the two parties made contact. The name ‘Mage Benjamin’ became a hot topic amongst the merchants; they secretly passed on his name, saying that he was the writer of the Freedom of Promoting Magic. They claimed that he was available for hire and that he was willing to teach magic.
"Mage Benjamin, thank you for your time. When will our next class be?"
Benjamin smiled, "We’ll talk about it later. I don’t have much free time nowadays, you’ll have to make a reservation."
