Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang continued down the street absentmindedly.

Alex had died.

In fact, Alex had long been dead.

It had always been Shang that had existed in this world, and Shang realized that now.

Earth didn't matter.

Earth might as well not exist.

Earth might as well be a fantasy.

They were memories of a time that had never happened.

It was nothing.

Shang wasn't sure what he was thinking about while he was pulling the sled wagon for several hours.

He only knew that he was thinking but not what.

Shang continued pulling the sled wagon, and it felt easier than before.

It was like a conflict inside him had vanished.

Going forward had become easier.

Shang's mind went back to the events from last night a couple times, but the emotions associated with the event became duller and more distant.

These things had only happened last night, but Shang felt like they had happened an eternity ago.

More merchants passed by Shang, and they all praised him for his actions. However, they didn't throw money at Shang like the first merchant.

They were only happy that there were fewer bandits now.

Shang only looked at the merchants with a distracted expression and only muttered a quiet thanks for their words.

Some of the merchants wanted to start a conversation, but Shang always only gave one-word answers, which essentially made it impossible for a proper conversation to occur.

After a day of pulling, Shang arrived at his destination.
