"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

This question was in the back of Theo's head for as long as he could remember.

Ever since he saw Veila for the second time after his awakening in this world, he couldn't help but feel like she kept on stalking him. After all, what other business a damn inner sect disciple like her would have with a mere outer sect disciple who was at the very bottom of a social ladder like him?

Thankfully, after all this time, it was finally Theo's turn to ask the questions he had. And what was even better, Veila wasn't really in a position not to answer.

"Stalking?" Veila asked, turning her head over to the side. "What does that even mean?"

'The look on her face is… genuine,' Theo thought with a sigh. 'I guess the language of this world isn't as developed as the one I originally came from.'

"Following. Why have you been following me?" Theo reworded the question in a way that stopped the girl from deflecting it.

Long-awaited discussion
