[Bloodsabre Gentleman]
That was the title which the surrounding people branded Shang with after the day his fight with the elder from the Wang Family.
The Wang Family did not do anything to shut the mouths who learn about as there is no way one can wipe anyone’s memory of seeing the red sky which was created by Shang’s killing pressure. The third son of family head, Wang Chencai was later seen entering the shop with apology gifts.
Chencai is not only the visitor. Other families and factions who are living in the same province, the Luo Province where Shang’s shop is, sent their servants and underlings to request for his services.
Shang is seen as a valuable asset and If he agrees to join, no one can prevent them from doing what they want in this province. Sadly, Shang rejects all requests and advances, saying he just want to live a normal shopkeeper’s life.
Shang also makes a promise to the Province Lord who personally comes to the shop that if the province is in danger, he is willingly to lend a hand.
Regarding the request from the Snow Mountain Sect, Shang turns it down, saying that unless the weapons have chosen their customers, he will not be selling any of them.
After declaring the closing time for the shop and requesting the visitors to leave, Shang and the girls finally find some peace and quiet.
Shang: Alright, all of you go up and rest for the night
Xiao-wan: What about you?
Shang: Me? I will be here for a while before going up. You girls will have a field day tomorrow, so get an early rest.
Girls: Understood.
Making sure that all the girls are gone, Shang sits behind the counter and takes a breather.
Shang stares blankly at the closed doors of the shop.

????: Going off again?
Shang turns to the female voice from the stairs.
Shang: Nanami… How do you know?
Nanami: So many years together and I don’t know the husband I shared my bed with? Don’t treat me like a fool.
Shang: Ha ha, only my wife know me best.
Nanami: So which world will you be going this time?
Shang: I don’t know… It could be a martial world with politics and mysteries, a medieval world with angels and demons or a normal world where things that I know don’t exist.
Nanami: Normal world? You mean a world where there is no such thing as cultivators, immortals and martial artist?
Shang: Something like that.
Shang stands and walks towards the doors.
Nanami: Shang…
Shang: Yeah?
Nanami: The path of strength… I don’t think we can make it...
Shang: Hmm.., Is that what you have concluded after yesterday fight?
Nanami nods to his reply.
Shang: Indeed, anyone would think the path of strength is worthless after a fight with a being who is True Immortal and higher.
Shang: But sorry, Nanami. I decided that I will walk the path of strength.
Shang disappears after stepping outside.
Nanami’s thoughts: Using nothing but physical body and strength to tear apart the universe… Is that even possible?

8 108Nevertheless, A Fantasy World
Aldieas, a world where five races exist in harmony namely, the Humans, Vasters, Serensis, Oreals, and the Alpsis. Before, this world was bathed in a gruesome bloodbath because of countless war between the races that created their own kingdoms. The lack of progress of the Era earned the disapproval of the God who created the world resulting in sending thirteen Demon Lords to dominate the world and erase any existing races. As the five races fell into despair, they summoned a hero as last resort to fight off the Demon Lords. The hero that was summoned, a lone man, has brought hope and salvation to everyone. Eventually, the hero defeated the Demon Lords but because of what he witnessed about this world, he himself becomes dismayed and chose isolation. Thousand of years has passed and the world has reached a new Era. Right then, the Hero decided to check on things. Author's Note: Do think that this is extremely similar to my other story settings. It's slightly r-15 but I guarantee that any explicit will be tone down. Further emphasis on the story genre will be updated soon.

We have always wondered if there were Gods or higher beings. We always thought that these beings would love and care for us. We were wrong. When we stopped believing in them and their existence, they were angered since our only to use for them was to extract our faith and turn it into an ambrosia-like substance for them to consume. With our usefulness gone, they decided to use us in a different way. To watch us struggle and suffer for their entertainment. After being transported to a new world along with the rest of humanity with only the clothes on his back, Devin Santos is now faced with a choice.
