Sword God in a World of Magic

Knock, knock, knock.

A young man knocked on a big wooden door.

"Come in," came from behind the door.

The young man with grey hair opened the door and walked into the room.

It was a nice and cozy study with a couple of books.

On the table at the back of the study sat a friendly-looking old man who was currently reading a book.

"Sir, we received one more complaint from the Water Emperor, two more from the Wind Emperor, and four more from the Twilight Royalty," the young man said with professional politeness.

The older man on the table only sighed in helplessness.

"Is it because of the increased quantity of Abominations again, Wester?" the old man asked.

Wester, the butler, nodded. "Correct, sir."

The older man sighed once again. "By how much did it increase this time?"

"Compared to 20 years ago, the quantity of Abominations has doubled, sir," Wester explained.

The older man rubbed his temple with one of his hands. "I guess we can't chalk this up to coincidence anymore."

"I was surprised that you managed to do that until now," Wester said with an unchanging expression.

Once again, the older man sighed. "So, the Child of Calamity actually is out there, and they have reached the Adept Realm."

"It seems so, sir," Wester said.

"Well, I guess we have to widen the scope of our search. How long ago did the old Child of Calamity die?"

"About fourteen years, sir," Wester answered professionally.

"Fourteen years, huh?" the old man mused. "That's a bit more on the faster side for reaching the Adept Realm, but not completely outstanding yet. However, it is still far faster than for any of the Areas."

Wester didn't answer.
