Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slowly opened his eyes.

Everything was silent.

However, in comparison to last night, the silence wasn't oppressive.

It was just that, silence.

Shang's head wasn't hurting anymore.

His mind wasn't under pressure anymore.

While he had dreaded the silence during the last night, he enjoyed it now.

It was just calm.

For a while, Shang only lay on his bed, looking at the ceiling. He could see some orange light coming from the two slits in the wall. It was either morning or evening.

Shang didn't stand up immediately.

He only remained lying on his bed, enjoying the calm and silence.

Last night went through his memory again, and he remembered how he had felt.

'Last night was difficult.'

'But everything actually isn't as bad as it seems.'

'I'm making quick progress with my power, and I reached a major milestone just recently. I can upgrade my sword now.'

Shang looked at the sword lying beside him and remembered that the sword had wanted to be close to him.

Shang touched it lightly, but it didn't react.

'It's still difficult to believe that there are such things as living weapons. Guess I'm still too used to Earth.'

Shang looked at the ceiling again.

'I'm still on edge when thinking about that day,' Shang thought with furrowed brows. 'However, things aren't as bad. I don't need to achieve cold-heartedness in an instant. I still have a long way to go.'

'Yes, that event has taken a lot out of me, but I'm sure that I can recover. I'm also sure that I can get used to it.'

'After all, many teachers probably went through something similar, and they still managed to reach the Commander Stage. Sure, in the grand scheme of things, that isn't very powerful, but they also live in a weak world.'

'I know that there are at least eight Realms in this world, and I only know of five, but this area is still a small microcosm of power. In this microcosm, the teachers are already pretty powerful.'

'So, if they managed to get through something like this, I can too.'

'I only need time and effort, and I have a lot of both.'

The same issues that had plagued Shang's mind yesterday now only looked like minor problems.

Why?

Because he had slept.

That was it.
