Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang just kept lying in the middle of the cave, breathing heavily.

He was so old.

He was so weak.

He was so tired.

Yet, there was nothing he could do but try to learn as much about his current situation as possible.

He had arrived at the end of his life, but there was still a way to extend it.

Shang hadn't achieved his goal yet, and he wouldn't stop trying to achieve it.

How many people knew the level three Concept of Death?

Extremely few.

The Concepts of Death were just as rare as the Concepts of Life, and the only two people Shang knew that had comprehended any of these Concepts were Queen Primordium and the Custodian.

The Custodian had comprehended two Concepts of Life.

But that was it.

Shang knew two Concepts of Death, which basically already put him on the level of one of the most powerful Mage Kings in the world.

Comprehending the level three Concept of Death would be even more difficult.

Yet, Shang wouldn't give up.

He never gave up.

Ever since he had started on his path to power, he hadn't given up.

This was his entire thing.

This was his entire personality.

Single-minded obsession with only one thing.

Undying and ceaseless effort towards one thing.

Shang had sacrificed so much just to achieve his goal.

But if he failed now, all of this would have been for nothing.

All these sacrifices would only have meant something if Shang actually managed to reach his goal.

Shang was not someone that was happy with what he had.

To Shang, there was no grey, only black and white.

Either he achieved his goal or not.

To him, dying as a powerful Cloud was worth just as much as dying to a Pest Cat when he had just arrived in this world.

For the first time in a long while, Shang actually thought back to his life on Earth.
