Sword God in a World of Magic

Years passed.

Shang had no idea what was going on outside, but nothing changed in his little world.

Every day, he just kept fighting against the most powerful beasts he was allowed to summon inside his inner world.

He kept dying over and over, but sometimes, he managed to win.

Every couple of months, he would summon an Ancestral Abomination when no one was paying attention and absorbed it.

As more years passed, Shang even accidentally comprehended more Concepts just due to the sheer number of fights against powerful beasts.

Shang had learned the level two Concept of Light, Particle, which worked on the mass-aspect of light.

Sadly, as a level two Concept, it wasn't that useful to Shang. It only increased the mass aspect of his Light Mana by a bit.

Shang also comprehended the level two Concept of Darkness, Blindness, which worked on the brightness aspect of Darkness Mana.

With that, Shang wouldn't need as much Mana to suppress an enemy's senses inside a domain or corridor of darkness.

Just like the Concept of Particle, it wasn't that useful.

Shang also comprehended the level one Concept of Ice, Icicle.

This Concept increased the power of Shang's icicle-based attacks by a bit, but it wasn't really worth mentioning.

Eventually, a hundred years had passed.

In Shang's world, nothing had changed.

This century had passed without anything happening inside Shang's little world.

Shang had kept track of the time and paid attention to what the Lightning Manor would do.
