Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang saw a bit of his young self in Oliver. Sure, Shang had already been different from Oliver back then, but there certainly were similarities.

"Earth?" Oliver asked with a shocked expression. "What do you mean?"

Oliver tried to seem oblivious, but Shang could easily tell that Oliver knew what Shang was talking about.

"You are not the first person sent from Earth to this place, and you won't be the last. These words have been said to me by my predecessor, and now I'm speaking them to you," Shang said evenly.

"Just like you, I have come from Earth. I was sent here when I was in my early twenties, and I was a retired professional MMA fighter back then."

Oliver still looked shocked.

There was someone else from Earth here?!

He had thought he had been the only one!

"So, you also came from Earth?" Oliver asked.

"That's what I said," Shang said coldly.

Oliver flinched a bit at Shang's cold voice. Oliver couldn't imagine someone like Shang being from Earth.

"What was your job on Earth?" Shang asked.

Oliver looked a bit uncertain. "Well, I was researching semiconductors."

"What's that?" Shang asked.

"I basically designed microchips."

Shang furrowed his brows. "That doesn't seem very fitting to this world. Why did the God send you here?"

Oliver scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed and nervous smile. "Well, I also loved playing RPGs, and I-"

"The missile?" Shang asked with raised eyebrows.

"No, not the missile. You know, role-playing games," Oliver quickly corrected.

Shang's brows furrowed. "Please keep your sex life out of this discussion."

Oliver looked even more shocked and appalled. "No, that's not-"

"Why did the God send you here?" Shang asked again.

Oliver wanted to correct Shang regarding the RPG thing, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything. The pressure Shang exerted compelled him to follow his commands.
