Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex ran towards the village. He actually didn't need to run since he had plenty of time, but Alex just couldn't control himself after arriving in an area without an overwhelming number of trees.

'I can run so fast!' Alex thought with exhilaration.

As Alex ran down the hill, some birds living in cold climates flew above him. They were searching for prey, but there was not much prey during the cold.

The winter was slowly making way for spring, but spring wasn't completely there yet. If Alex had to put a month to the current weather, he would say it would be the end of February or the start of March.

Alex ran for about fifteen minutes, and he arrived at the village far too early.

In a sense, Alex had wished to run more.

'I can always run more later,' Alex thought with a smile.

As Alex came to the village, he noticed that there were no guards.

There were also no pedestrians.

In fact, there was no one.

Alex blinked a couple of times in confusion.

'That's weird. I was sure I saw some people walking around.'

Alex looked around the abandoned village and thought of something.

'Is it me?' Alex thought.

Alex looked around the village. It was currently in the middle of the day, and all the villagers should be working.

"Who are you?!" someone suddenly shouted.

Alex looked to the front and saw a burly, middle-aged man walking past a house.

He had a spear and wore some simple leather armor. His hair was brown, and a long and scruffy beard adorned his face.

Alex immediately associated that man with a smith.

He looked like the typical smith one would find in movies and shows.

"Hello, I'm… Shang," Alex said nervously. He had nearly wanted to say his original name again.

"What do you want?!" the man shouted aggressively. "We don't have any money, and we are protected by the Northern Wild!"

Alex smiled in embarrassment. "I think you misunderstood me. I'm not here to do anything to you."

"Lies!" the man shouted. "You charged at our village! Speak the truth, or I will kill you myself!"

Alex scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "I ran because it felt good."

"It felt good?" the man asked in surprise.

"Yes," Alex answered. "I've been in a forest for the past six months, and this is the first time I'm at a place not filled with trees. Running down the mountain and feeling my new power after my trip just felt too good."

The man eyed Alex suspiciously. "Is that why you are dressed like a thief?" he asked coldly.

"Like a thief?" Alex asked in surprise.
