Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang took a deep breath after he finished the letter.

The contents of this letter were beyond shocking.

Then, Shang read the letter again to make sure that he hadn't missed anything crucial.

"If you are reading this, it means I am dead."

That was how the letter started.

"My name is Lucius Volstad, and I am the Mage God, formerly known as the Mage Emperor."

Shang remembered the corpse the God had kicked around the room.

This was a letter from this person.

This was a letter from a person that was on the same level as the God of this world.

"If you can read this, it means that you are the successor to my legacy."

"Just like you, I have been cursed with this Affinity that binds me to the Abominations. I have control over Fire, Ice, Light, and Darkness."

"You and I are known as the Children of Calamity in this world. The more powerful we become, the more powerful the Abominations become."

"Our rise to power is their rise to power."

"If we are weak, only Abominations up to the Third Realm appear, but if we are powerful, even Abominations of the Ninth Realm can appear."

"If a Child of Calamity in the Ninth Realm doesn't help the people of this world, an Abomination Emperor will destroy the world."

"As you probably already know, the Abominations are also our source of power, and we need them just as much as they need us."

"In the eyes of the world, we are the enemy. We are the very thing that threatens the existence of the very world we live in."

"The solution the world has come to is to keep the Children of Calamity as weak as possible for their entire lives. If a Child of Calamity is found, they will be given a home, plenty of wealth, freedom, longevity, and status."
