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

The battle academy was located in a secluded area, far from any cities.

It followed the same principle as Snowpeak Academy: they didn't want civilians nearby due to the risks associated with magical practice.

Mages were powerful individuals capable of causing significant destruction, especially when experiments went wrong—something common among beginners.

Even with protective barriers in place, having a city nearby wasn't worth the risk. Additionally, the quiet environment was better for studying and concentration.

William could see and sense the surroundings through Asura, and the sight of students milling about the academy's courtyard filled him with nostalgia.

The arrival of new students reminded him of his own first day at Snowpeak Academy.

'Will James be alright? What about the king? I need to return…'
