Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next couple of days, the mortals became acquainted with the outside world.

To them, it was literally like a new world had been made available to them.

There were rivers, trees, wild beasts, and many other things they had never seen before.

The grand openness of the outside world even intimidated them severely, but they also realized the great potential.

The water in the huge river was incredibly clean and plentiful. They would no longer need to purchase water from the people that owned big barrels!

Additionally, the abundance of space also made it possible to build more farms.

Would the scarcity of food finally end?

Yet, the mortals had no idea what they should actually do with all of this space.

Additionally, which plot of land belonged to whom?

Also, there were no walls, and it felt dangerous out here.

The guards watched the mortals, and over the next couple of days, the mortals became less fearful of the guards. Additionally, the guards also didn't kick every mortal that passed their way. After all, the mortals weren't breaking any laws right now.

Then, the guards were basically assaulted with second-hand embarrassment. The way the mortals handled the outside world was pathetic. They were just randomly claiming things and building things.

And the very things they were building definitely didn't look good.

Of course, Shang also noticed these things, and he was already working on a solution.

He hadn't expected the mortals to be that terrible at creating new homes.

But after a while, Shang realized why they were so incredibly bad at this.

The gangs, or more precisely, the lack of gangs.

The three High Mages had watched the gangs over the last couple of days with their Spirit Senses, and it hadn't been very difficult to make a list of all the gang members.

All the gang members had been executed already.

Yet, even though the gangs were a parasite on the mortals, they had also been their leaders.
