Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang didn't seem any different than usual, but deep inside, he felt like he had nearly died, which might actually have been true.

'I did it, somehow,' Shang thought without showing anything on the outside. 'Going on the offense had been the right call.'

Shang wanted to sigh so badly, but he couldn't show any uncertainty on the outside.

"So, what now?" Shang asked. "Do I just get resources now?"

"You're a special case," the Keeper said, still looking away from Shang.

"Usually, we would assign you to a very powerful Ancestral Mage to study under them, but you're not a Mage. Assigning you to any Mage might not only not help you but even restrict your growth."

"You're the highest authority when it comes to training as a warrior in the entire world. No one has the necessary knowledge to contradict what you think is best since your way has been proven to show the greatest results."

"Under normal circumstances, your teacher would evaluate your growth and request resources from us based on what they would think would be best for you."

"We can't do that with you."

"Of course, the Temple of Blood won't just give you free rein since you can't guarantee that you will reach a level of power that makes you valuable to us."

Shang didn't move.

"Because of that, we decided to make it a bit different for you."

"We're not going to blindly invest in you, but just pay you very, very well for your work. This will produce short-term results that will prove that you might become valuable in the future."

Usually, Shang would have already told the Keeper that she should get to the point. However, he decided against it.

Earlier, the Keeper had only been Shang's employer.
