Sword God in a World of Magic

CRRR! CRRRR!

The sound of something heavy being pulled along the ground resonated throughout the forest. Except for this sound, everything else was silent.

This was the sound of the Stalker's corpse being pulled through the forest.

White snowflakes fell down around Alex as he walked through the deep darkness.

Suddenly, Alex saw a slight golden light coming from the sky. If his eyes hadn't been strengthened, he wouldn't have noticed this little bit of light.

Above the layer of clouds was a golden shooting star, its light barely visible to him.

'A golden shooting star that's so bright that I can even see it through a thick layer of clouds?' Alex thought with furrowed brows. 'That's strange. However, this world is already strange enough. This is just one more oddity added to the pile.'

Alex looked back down.

This golden shooting star didn't concern him.

After a while, Alex arrived at his clearing.

He hadn't seen another animal or creature all this time.

If it had been a month ago, Alex would have met at least one creature that had been drawn to him due to the sound, but Alex's position had changed.

He was no longer the vulnerable, new survivor.

Now, he was one of the hunters of the forest.

A normal animal would be frightened off by the Stalker's corpse, and a powerful creature would be able to feel Alex's power.

Stalkers weren't the most powerful creatures in the forest, but they also weren't weak.

Alex still remembered the two gigantic beasts he had seen when he had just arrived.

If Alex tried to attack them, he wouldn't even know how he had died.

He couldn't possibly fight against such behemoths with his current power.

Current was the keyword.

When Alex arrived at his clearing, he let go of the corpse and sat down beside it.

Shing! Shing!

Alex took out his sword and started to skin the corpse.

In the silent, cold night, only the sound of cutting could be heard.

It was like Alex was the only being in this world as only darkness surrounded him.

After Alex was done with skinning the Stalker, he took the hide and put it near his hut.
