Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang left the Caves for the first time in a long while.

He jumped out of the hole in the ground and appeared in the Wasteland.

At the moment, it was in the middle of the day, and plenty of warriors and Mages were running around, earning money.

In comparison to 30 years ago, the number of beasts Shang could see had been drastically reduced.

With the increased power of the average warrior, they didn't need to form teams anymore, essentially multiplying the number of hunters.

However, in order to stop the hunters from eradicating the entire beast population, several new rules had to be put into place.

For example, hunting in the Caves now required a hefty entrance fee. Additionally, more beasts in the Wild Forest had been put on the Blacklist so that they could grow up and be hunted in the Wasteland.

The Day of Chaos had also become much more manageable due to the reduced number of beasts.

But when Shang looked at Warrior's Paradise, it looked just like always.

It was still as imposing as back then.

In fact, it had even grown a bit in the past decades. The Earth Mages slowly widened the plateau Warrior's Paradise was on, allowing it to expand.

In the past three decades, it had probably gotten wider by around 200 meters.

Shang traveled towards the street that led to Warrior's Paradise and jumped.

With a bit of finesse and control, Shang could essentially run up the two-kilometer high road and easily land on it. He didn't even need to use his Blasts or a Talisman.

As soon as Shang landed on the road, he looked at the Wasteland again.

Memories entered his mind, and he remembered the first time he had seen this view.

Back then, he had seen how the warriors and Mages managed to jump up to Warrior's Paradise with their Talismans, and he also remembered how intimidated he had been when he had seen the Mages blast the beasts apart with ease.

Shang had been around 15 years old at that point.

Now, he was 47.
