No good deed goes unpunished.

"A foreign force is kidnapping people to another world."

"Seven of your hero comrades already fell, returning as mere empty shells."

"Your memory will be wiped to keep you safe from them."

"And you...will reincarnate to a new identity, and face them once again."

No good deed goes unpunished. And Theo's great need for excitement made him the right choice for this suicide mission!

But why is his system taking so damn long to install? Why did he reincarnate into someone that died from bullying? And why is his system about magic... in a world where practicing magic is forbidden.


And...leads to a cushy spot on a burning stake?

Hero System: Mage's Survival in a Cultivation World
