William and his college class are ripped from Earth and thrown into Aethel, a world on the brink of collapse.  Everyone gains incredible magical powers – except William.  Mocked and underestimated, he's an outcast among heroes.  

But William has a secret: an SSS-ranked skill that lets him travel to Aethel's past.  Learning lost magic from ancient masters, he'll surpass his classmates and become the true savior Aethel needs. But can he overcome the dangers of the past and present to forge his own destiny?

While others studied about the first mage, William could go back in time and see the first mage himself! While others dreamed of seeing a dragon, William could go back in time, hatch a legendary dragon egg and turn it into his puppy. While others used common materials to craft their items, William could go back in time and mine materials that weren't find anywhere in Aethel anymore.

Is it unfair? Perhaps, but William was not the type of person to not use the powers the universe gave him.

Summoned with an SSS-Rank Portal Skill

William seized the opportunity, slipping away unnoticed while the others were distracted. With Stuart's camouflage, he melted into the shadows, moving like a ghost through the labyrinth.

The man, realizing William's disappearance, tried to redirect the attention. "There's someone else here!" he yelled, pointing towards William's last known location. "We'll all lose the treasure!"

The pirates and fish-men turned, their eyes scanning the corridor, but saw nothing.

"Stop lying," one of them snarled, his face contorted with rage. "You're just trying to escape! Now tell us everything you know about this place!"

William knew it was only a matter of time before they saw through the man's ruse and used his knowledge to reach the treasure. He couldn't afford to linger.

Once out of sight, William dropped the camouflage and broke into a run, Stuart perched on his shoulder, guiding him through the maze.
