Sixteenth Basket of Mantaos

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos).  Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... 
Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom.
However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

Why Did You Summon Me？

<p>Looking at the subtle changes on the face of the young girl across him, he knew that she had already put the pieces together and guessed his real purpose. Before, when the Divine Warriors mentioned that the Steppe Barbarians had been keeping their noses clean these few years, he could roughly guessed that the new King must be not fond of having clash of conflicts with the Alpine Barbarians. In that case, even if his rhetoric was a little far-fatched, with the Divine Warriors backing him up, he was certain that the other side would be unlikely to refuse his request.</p>

<p>As he expected, the outcome was exactly how he predicted. After a short moment of hesitation, the Barbarian King finally opened her mouth, "Yes, our Warrior Gala does not discriminate against outsider. If all of you really came with the intention to observe, then without a doubt, I will welcome you with my open arms."</p>
