Sword God in a World of Magic

Thunk!

Alex's mind was thrown into disarray suddenly. It was like he had just received a punch to the head.

Alex's hand went to his butt out of reflex since he felt some pain coming from it.

That's when he felt grass.

'Grass?' Alex thought.

Alex opened his eyes and looked around.

Forest.

This was the only word that appeared in his mind when he saw his new surroundings. Thick pine trees were all around Alex. Alex could hear some birds chirping, and he heard the buzzing of insects. The smell of nature also immediately assaulted him.

'Sure enough, I have been sent somewhere, probably that God's main world or something,' Alex thought as he looked around.

Alex stood up, and while doing so, immediately noticed something peculiar.

'Standing up is easier than before,' Alex thought.

Alex looked down at his body, and his brows furrowed.

'My big belly is gone,' Alex thought.

As Alex looked at his own body, he noticed that he had a slim build. On top of that, he wore different clothes now.

Right now, Alex wore black cloth pants and a black shirt.

Surprisingly, the fabric felt rather nice.

However, Alex noticed something else that he didn't like one bit.

'I'm smaller,' Alex thought with narrowed eyes.

Previously, Alex had been 187 centimeters tall, but now, he barely reached 160 centimeters, according to his estimations.

Alex touched his face and noticed that it was also rather slim.

'I'm smaller, my unnecessary fat is gone, but my muscles are also gone,' Alex thought. 'This is either the body of someone that only does cardio, or I'm in the body of a teenager. I don't think that this God would send me into a grown body that's only 160 centimeters tall. After all, he wants me to become powerful, and height is an insane advantage in physical combat.'

'So, I'm probably in the body of a teenager. Assuming that I will reach a height of above 180 centimeters in my adulthood, my current height of 160 centimeters means that I still have quite some growing to do.'

'This means that I'm probably in the body of a 14-year-old,' Alex thought.

Something on Alex's head tickled him, and he moved it to the side.

It was hair, and when Alex noticed some strands of his hair, he also noticed a different change.

'Well, seems like my blonde hair is gone,' Alex lamented as he saw his new black hair.

After getting familiar with his new body, Alex looked around himself and noticed two things.
