Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang was looking at the diagram with a bloodshot eye as he gripped his hair tight with his hands.

He was stressed.

There were so many changes that needed to be made across all the different pathways that it would essentially revert half of the changes that had been made previously.

There were so many issues that needed to be resolved, and Shang hadn't even reached the shared Mana pathways yet.

Things would only get worse from now on.

Now, Shang truly knew how incredible the Mana pathways actually were.

Sure, they weren't perfect, but they were good enough for everything.

By just changing one tiny thing, Shang had made several attacks straight-up impossible to use.

Shang had been looking at the diagram for hours now, trying to find a way to solve the current issue.

However, he was reaching his limit.

He fixed stuff here and there, but there were simply too many changes across the entire thing, and the new pathways felt completely different from the old ones.

It was like the architectural style of these pathways completely differed from the natural one of his original pathways.

After a while, Shang got distracted.

He felt like it was becoming impossible, and his mind was trying to think of a different solution.

Shang looked at the old and new diagrams again and again.

He looked back and forth.

Right now, Shang wasn't exactly thinking about anything in particular. He was just looking at stuff.

Then, Shang looked at the outer pathways, which looked a bit more orderly and straighter than the natural ones.

Shang looked where they led and scratched the top of his head.

After that, he took out a completely new diagram and began to draw the outline of his body.
