Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex slowly stood up, and as soon as he did, his eyes widened.

Alex looked down at his body with wonder.

'My muscles, they feel fine!' Alex thought with shock.

Alex moved his body around and did some light, basic exercises to test his body.

Sure enough, he felt completely fine!

It was like he hadn't just trained for four hours!

As Alex looked at his body with shock, the realization that this world was nothing like this previous one really set in for the first time.

Alex had done enough sports on earth to know exactly how he should be feeling right now.

Yet, not even the slightest feeling of weakness was present.

'The feeling of weakness while doing the workout comes from the built-up lactic acid, but after such a long resting period, the lactic acid has already vanished. The feeling of weakness after that comes from the small, torn muscle fibers.'

'So, since this feeling isn't present, does it mean that my muscle fibers have already healed?' Alex thought with surprise.

'Have I already gone through the recovery phase?!'

Alex tried to comprehend his current situation.

He was even more shocked by this revelation than when he had seen the giant hedgehog.

Why?

Because Alex knew exactly how insane this was.

Alex remembered a gaming term from his past life.

This was broken!

'So, I can literally give my entire body several workouts each day?'

However, Alex's feeling of shock and exhilaration quickly vanished.

Why?

Because Alex's mind was going to a dangerous place.

'Theoretically, the more damaged the muscle, the stronger it will become. The problem on earth is that the recovery period for such damage would be so long that it wouldn't be nearly as efficient as training normally.'

'But here?'

'I'm not even sure if the power increase comes from the workout or the absorbed Mana. It could be that I only need to damage my muscles to make them absorb more Mana. I might not need to do actual, traditional training.'

Alex's eyes focused on his left arm, and he felt a complex mix of feelings.

Anticipation, nervousness, fear, curiosity, greed.

Was Alex a normal human?

When living in a normal environment, sure, he could be called normal.

However, if he would remain normal while being flung into a new world, the God wouldn't have chosen him to enter his world.
