Sword God in a World of Magic

"I felt horrible because I knew exactly what he would do," Alex said.

"Alex, remember what we talked about?" an older man with grey hair said as he leaned back in a comfortable chair.

Alex sighed. "Shang is me. I am Shang," Alex repeated in a bored and practiced tone.

"Yes," the older man said. "Even though you two have been split into two, you were still the same person before that."

"There are instances where there are actually multiple people living in the same mind, body, and soul, but that was not the case for you."

"Whatever Shang was doing was also your doing. You can't just push all responsibility on Shang's shoulders."

Alex sighed once again. "I get that, but itjust doesn't feel like it. After all, I couldn't imagine doing these things. That's not who I am."

"It's not who you are, but it's partially who you were," the older man answered.

"Maybe it's easier to accept that you were Shang in the past when remembering that you are no longer connected to Shang in the present. After all, I fixed the incomplete parts of your Spirit. You are now fully your own person."

Alex nodded again. "Maybe," he said with uncertainty.

Silence.

"When can I leave?" Alex asked.

"I already told you," the older man said as he leaned forward in his chair, "after you've finished your mandatory course for long-term happiness."

"The Gravitas Mental Health Clinic has treated Sextillions of Immortals, Gods, and Heaven Breakers.

We know what we are doing, and we know what kind of problems nearly all immortal beings go through."

"The most common problem is setting power as your goal instead of as a means to an end."

"In your case, it's revenge and regret. Your hatred for Shang is too strong."

"I believe taking your revenge would be in your best interest, but first, you have to achieve a mindset that will allow your mind to heal after revenge. If you don't have that, you will only feel empty."

Alex sighed again. "I get it. All of this is for my best."

The older man nodded.
