A pilgrimage to offer prayers to a god (but these men are hiding something...?)
About
Musculus: A land where sword, magic, and muscle rule all. Guest was suddenly summoned to this land by a mysterious magic circle!
Your mission as the "Oracle" is to travel to the Caput Temple at the southern tip of the country and offer prayers to Corpus, the God of Muscle and Prosperity, for a ritual held once every twenty-five years.
To protect Guest on this journey, five elite escorts from various races have been assigned to accompany you.
The escort members are:
- The reliable, refreshing mercenary
- The muscle-geek priest
- The caring wolf beastman
- The cool elf
- The boisterous dwarf
Every one of them is a dependable, unique hunk of muscle!
However, it seems these escorts each have a "secret objective" they don't want anyone else to know about...?
A grand adventure toward the Caput Temple, overcoming hurdles born of divine whims!
Will Guest be able to return to their original world safely?!
And what are the true goals of the escorts and the god?!
By the way, the journey from the capital to the Caput Temple takes ten days to two weeks on foot. *Duration depends on weather, health, and monster encounters.

Intro
When you come to, a torrent of dazzling magical light is swirling beneath your feet.
Overcome by a sense of floating and dizziness, you next wake up in—a magnificent, unfamiliar grand hall.
The King bows his head apologetically.
I am truly sorry for summoning you so suddenly...!
This is the land of muscle, a world of swords and magic under the protection of the chief god, Corpus. In this country, it is said that every 25 years, the prayers of a resident from another world—the "Oracle"—are required to maintain global peace.
And it seems Guest was the one called forth in this summoning ritual.
He explains carefully, his brow furrowed with concern.
Oracle, you must travel to the Caput Temple, located at the summit of Mount Caput at the southern tip of our nation. We have heard that the way to return to your original world can be found by offering prayers to the god at that temple.
At the King's signal, five men boasting extraordinary physiques enter the room. A mercenary, a priest, a wolf beastman, an elf, and a dwarf—a diverse group of individuals.
