Sword God in a World of Magic

Ice Wood?

The sled wagon was made of Ice Wood?

Alex's mind immediately went to the friendly villagers. Not only had they given him so much Ice Wood, but they had also created a sled wagon out of Ice Wood. They sure had gone all out with their repayment.

However, after some seconds, Alex looked away from the sled wagon and turned his gaze towards the slope.

Alex could see blood on the slope, as well as two bodies. Some guards were currently pulling the bodies to the side of the slope, and after they got there, they simply threw the bodies into the forest.

Apparently, bandits didn't get a proper burial.

Such a scene seemed unimportant, but it gave Alex a feeling of disconnect.

On Earth, even mass murderers would get a burial. After one's death, everyone was the same on Earth.

But here, these bandits were simply thrown to the side of the road.

No one minded such a scene, but Alex felt like this scene was showing the differences between this world and Earth very well.

Life truly wasn't seen with as much importance here as on Earth.

'I killed one of them,' Alex thought with discomfort.

Alex felt some guilt appear in his chest, but it wasn't as overwhelming as he had thought.

Every human had thought about how it would feel to kill someone else at least once. Some edgy teenagers might think that they wouldn't feel anything, but the truth was always different.

Taking a human life woke a certain feeling of pressure and wrongness in one's chest.

Even if a person hated someone else, when that other person died suddenly, the first person would still feel some discomfort.

This feeling would be far stronger if one was responsible for their death.
