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 was very surprised to hear Asura's voice again. He knew the same slave traders who had captured him had also taken his sword and surely sold it to someone.

"How are we talking like this? I thought the seal had cut off our connection," William said mentally.

"Yes, it did, and that's why I asked you to put your blood on the sword. Now you can talk to me."

"That's great, but where the hell are you? I'm stuck at the end of the world here, working in a mine, mining mana stones…"

As much as talking to Asura was a great thing, William still had no idea if it would help him in any way.

Maybe it would help with the loneliness and give him someone to talk to, but what he needed was a way to escape, not just chat.

"Really? What a situation… Well, I'm far away too. I ended up being sold to a wealthy merchant who lives in a village. Can you believe it?"
