Sword God in a World of Magic

After absorbing the Abomination, Shang took out his Communication Crystal.

"Yes?" came the neutral voice of Jerald.

"I've advanced."

Silence.

"Really?" Jerald said with a much brighter and shocked voice.

"Yes, I've reached the True Path Stage. I've created my True Path," Shang answered.

"Finally," Jerald said with exhaustion. "Finally, it's time."

"Not entirely," Shang said. "I want to undergo the trial before we do anything. This can increase my power even more."

"Oh, right," Jerald said, some of his good mood gone. "Yes, as discussed, it would be better if we do everything after the trial. Do you know when you will take it?"

"There have been some changes," Shang said.

"Changes?" Jerald asked with skepticism. For just a moment, he thought that Shang would go back on what they had agreed on.

"Not from my side, but from his side. You know who I'm talking about," Shang said.

Jerald didn't know who Shang meant.

"The God," Shang said after a while.

"Wait, he contacted you? He can just do that?" Jerald asked in surprise.

"Yes, he can," Shang said. "I was also a bit surprised, but it shouldn't actually be surprising when you think about it. This is his world. He can do whatever he wants."

"I guess so," Jerald answered. "What changes?"

Shang told Jerald that he was now responsible for his own power, not the warriors' power and that there would also be a new person coming soon.

"So, he's sending another one to take over your job?" Jerald asked.

"Correct," Shang answered. "He said that it would be a man since he kept referring to him as he. I can imagine that he would have received similar instructions to me, which means that he will probably only appear sometime in the next three years and not immediately."

"I have been tasked with helping him a bit by explaining several things to him. I would ask you to pay attention to people that are similar to how I was when you found me. Of course, as long as he doesn't actively show signs, it will be difficult to find him. It might even be possible that he doesn't even know about me. After all, I also didn't know about George being someone like me back then."

"However, he will almost certainly appear somewhere in the Storm Eagle Zone, and he will most likely try to enter the Warrior's Academy."

"It might take several months to three years until he gains the power and experience to get through the Warrior Academy's exam."

"Could you keep me informed about new students that might possibly be him?" Shang asked.

"No problem," Jerald answered.

"Thank you," Shang said. "Then, I will continue training until it is time for the trial. I will contact you when it's time."
