Sword God in a World of Magic

It has been three days since Alex had started training his body, and he had made quite a lot of progress.

The masochistic training had been hard to handle in the beginning, but Alex slowly got used to it after literally jumping over his shadow multiple times.

After the first couple of jumps, Alex didn't want to feel any more pain.

It was just too much.

However, after he saw a visible improvement in his strength, he forced himself to continue.

The taste of power was just too enticing.

However, on this day, he would have to abort his training.

Alex had run out of water, and the beast he had killed had started to get infested by insects. Due to the cold climate, the meat was still edible, but the insects inside the corpse were simply too disgusting.

On top of that, the smell of the beast was slowly vanishing, and Alex had already seen a deer coming into his visual range before it fled after seeing him.

Three days ago, no animals had appeared close to this place.

This meant that Alex was no longer safe.

Thunk! Thunk!

Alex jumped to the tree and shot himself upward again with his legs, grabbing the lowest branch.

Three days ago, Alex wouldn't have been able to do something like this.

The growth of his physical power was terrifying!

Right now, Alex's body was even more powerful than his old body had been at its peak.

Mana made a huge difference in the speed of Alex's improvement.

Alex quickly climbed the tree and looked around. There were so many animals in this forest, so there had to be some kind of water source.

However, due to the trees, Alex couldn't see the ground from up here, making it difficult to spot any water source.

Alex could only check for spots with fewer trees.

Alex found a couple of them and decided to investigate.

At the same time, Alex would also search for more food.

BANG!

Alex climbed down from the tree and jumped the last bit, not receiving an injury.

'Well, I guess it's time to investigate,' Alex thought with a frown.

This would be the first time he would truly leave this place, and he didn't know what would wait for him.

He only hoped that similarly powerful creatures like that monster he had killed by luck were rare.

Otherwise, he might die.
