Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang once again returned to the palace, which was adorned in black and red colors.

Although these events had already taken place and Shang had merely unlocked a new memory, it felt as if he were encountering the God once more, much to his displeasure.

The Shang of the past, who was blonde and overweight, was not someone Shang wanted to see.

As always, the God wore an arrogant smirk while observing the young Shang.

Fortunately, this time, the young Shang knew exactly which question to ask.

He repeated the God's words, asking, "How can I acquire enough Mana to reach the Eighth Realm without assistance from the Empires and without attracting immediate attention?"

At the time of asking this question, Shang had no knowledge of Aterium, and most of the concepts mentioned were unfamiliar to him.

Mana?

Eighth Realm?

Empires?

And what did all of this have to do with being noticed or not?

The question was remarkably specific.

The God chuckled slightly and responded, "What an excellent question," indirectly praising himself.

"You know, you're actually fortunate to have asked this question at this moment. Although you may not realize it, this is likely one of the most pivotal moments for you in the future, if you manage to get there."

"Although I doubt you will ever reach the Seventh Realm. That would be quite extraordinary."
