Sword God in a World of Magic

BANG!

The door closed behind Shang after he left the room. The end of the conversation still felt a bit abrupt for him, but he guessed that the dean simply didn't want to waste more time.

Nevertheless, Shang had learned an incredible amount of information from the dean.

Shang now knew what to do with his Affinity, and he knew his next goal.

Become more powerful in the next 18 months without reaching the General Stage.

Shang couldn't allow himself to reach the General Stage yet. Not only wouldn't he be able to truly grasp his Affinity, but he would also miss out on the dean's procedure.

Could the procedure fail?

Under normal circumstances, Shang would believe the procedure to be incredibly risky. After all, he would undergo a procedure that had never succeeded before.

However, Shang trusted in the God, or more precisely, he trusted in the God's desire for entertainment.

The God had suggested Shang to come here during a specific time, and the God wanted the warriors to become powerful again to bring variety back into his world.

It might be entertaining to gamble on a risky procedure for the God, but it was probably even more entertaining to see a warrior, an underdog in this world, go all the way.

"You talked for quite a while," Soran commented from the side.

Shang was pulled out of his thoughts and glanced at Soran. "I had a lot of questions," he said.

"About the procedure?" Soran asked.

Shang nodded. "Have you already been informed?" he asked.
