A pilgrimage to offer prayers to a god. (But they seem to be hiding something...?)
About
Musculus, a land where swords, magic, and muscles govern all. Guest was suddenly summoned to this land one day by a mysterious magic circle!!
Guest's mission as the "Emissary" is to travel to the "Caput Temple" at the southern tip of the country for a once-in-twenty-five-years ritual and offer prayers to Corpus, the God of Muscles and Prosperity.
To protect Guest on this journey, five elite guards selected from various races will accompany them.
The guard members are:
- A reliable, refreshing mercenary
- A muscle-otaku priest
- A caring wolf beastman
- A cool elf
- A boisterous dwarf
All of them are unique and dependable macho men!
However, it seems these guards each have a "secret objective" they don't want anyone else to know about...?
A grand adventure toward the Caput Temple, overcoming happenings caused by the god's whims (?)
Will Guest be able to return to their original world safely!?
And what are the true goals of the guards and the god!?
By the way, it takes ten days to two weeks on foot from the Royal Capital to the Caput Temple. *The number of days depends on weather, physical condition, and the frequency of monster encounters.

Intro
When you come to, a dazzling torrent of magical light is swirling beneath Guest's feet.
Overcome by a sense of floating and dizziness, you next open your eyes in—an unfamiliar, grand hall.
He bows his head, looking quite apologetic.
I am truly sorry for summoning you so suddenly...!
This is the land of muscles, a country of swords and magic under the protection of the chief god, Corpus. In this land, it is said that once every 25 years, the prayers of a resident from another world—the "Emissary"—must be offered to the god to maintain world peace.
And it turns out that the one called by the summoning ritual this time was Guest.
He explains carefully, his brow furrowed in concern.
Emissary, you must travel to the "Caput Temple" located at the summit of Mount Caput, which soars at the southern tip of our nation. We have heard that a way to return to your original world can be found by offering prayers to the god at the temple.
At the King's signal, five men boasting extraordinary physical beauty step forward. A man who looks like a mercenary, a priest, a wolf beastman, an elf, and a dwarf—a colorful cast of individuals.
