Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang and Jerald had to raise an eyebrow at the payment.

"The pay is a bit… strange," Jerald said.

"The pay is worth it," Agon spoke up from beside the Supervisor. "In the outside world, all the resources in the Fourth Realm are plundered by Archmages, and all the resources of the Fifth Realm are plundered by Ancestral Mages. These resources are worth a lot and the more powerful Mages sell them to the Mages that actually need them."

"But here, you have none of these Mages. Remember that there are Archbeasts and Ancestral Beasts in this place, and their presence creates powerful and useful resources. I have plundered so many herbs and ores that only grow in the presence of the Zone Beasts that I have been basically shooting through my Concepts," Agon explained.

"Archbeasts?" Shang asked.

Agon nodded. "In the outside world, the beasts are named after the Mage Realms starting at the third Realm. True Beasts, High Beasts, Archbeasts, and so on."

Shang nodded. "Makes sense."

Jerald scratched his chin as he looked at the contract.

"Even better," Agon added with a smirk, "it doesn't matter how much you work. It only matters how good your results are."

On the side, Relon only snorted.

He had seen how Agon had basically pawned off all his duties to the Council while getting paid for doing essentially nothing.

He wasn't the biggest fan of that.

"Am I being allowed to reach the Archmage Realm during my employment?" Jerald asked.

"No," Relon answered. "If you reach the Archmage Realm, you will be fired."

Jerald furrowed his brows.

"Then, I will choose to be contracted for 100 years," Jerald said.

"Smart choice," Agon said with a smirk.

If the Assistant Supervisor managed to fulfill their duties for 50 years, they were allowed to leave with all their possessions and gains.

However, if an Assistant Supervisor managed to fulfill their duties for 100 years, they would also be eligible to participate in the Lightning Manor's entrance exam for talented Archmages.

This opportunity was worth a lot. After all, if one managed to join the Lightning Manor, their path to power would essentially be free of obstacles.
