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.

For a moment, Morris was dumbfounded.
"Soul's Fire… There's really an inheritance? How did you discover this place?"
