Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slowly walked away from the training field, scratching his chin as he thought about how he should proceed.

'My goal is obviously power. To get there, I need to increase my Battle-Strength since I can't work on my level right now. To increase my Battle-Strength, I need more experience. I'm very good at fighting against beasts, and I'm more than fine with Battle-Strength in that regard.'

'So, logically, I should work on my Battle-Strength against humans. However, the issue is that I can't even properly fight other humans since my weapon gets destroyed with basically every attack. So, the first priority should be my weapon.'

'Sarah has taught me a lot about Affinities and weapons, and I'm pretty confident that I should get ore fitting for my Affinity.'

'Now, the question is, how do I have to combine the ore to make it work? If I were to combine the four different Affinities I have that I know of, do I need to get one-quarter of each, or do I need to get a full load of each?'

Shang wanted to look at his sword, but he remembered that he wasn't allowed to pull it out without a very good reason.

'That's the issue. Do I need all of it or just a bit? I mean, the logical first step would be to buy two units of ore with a Fire, Ice, Light, and Darkness Affinity. If that still isn't enough, I can simply buy more.'

'Luckily, my weapon isn't simple, and I don't need a blacksmith. The God gave me the weapon precisely due to the absence of powerful blacksmiths at the higher levels. He said it's too much to force me to blaze two paths at once. So, according to him, I don't need a blacksmith. I probably only need to put my sword close to the ore.'

'Can my sword handle multiple Affinities? Oh, why am I even asking? I think the God thought of that. I don't think that something like that is too hard for him.'

'So, first step, get two Units of ore for everything, and to get there, I need money or Contribution Points.'

'I still need to ask Sarah where I can get the ore relatively cheap, but that has to wait for the next lesson, which should be in two days.'
