Noah stood in his spot for a few minutes yet nothing seemed to be happening.
"Well, that was anti-climatic." He sighed.
Though his move might have been a bit too advanced for his level, Noah was sure that he should have been able to use it.
'I guess I can use some…' Noah suddenly paused as he saw a blue rectangular window popping up in front of his face. No voice echoed inside his head which he found strange.
Every time a window opened, the words written on it were supposed to echo inside a person's mind. Noah now had to manually read the words written on the window.
< Spirit Time Magic has been used. Mark of the spirit and guardian of time, Ayame has been found on your body. >
< Reevaluation in process… >
Noah raised his eyebrows in surprise as he hadn't expected Aiko's actions to have left a mark on him. Though he had a feeling that whatever she had done would work in his favor.
< Reevaluation done. >
< To make up for the loss of skills and such, you will receive a skill exclusive to only you(counting only your current realm). >
< The corresponding skill can only be pulled through a gacha and may give you a random skill like 'succubus transformation. >
< Pull a skill? >
After reading the long set of words, Noah's jaw twitched a little. He felt as though he was playing a game created by one of the game companies in his world.
Though it was expected since those games had been based on the order of the world.
Noah knew that the randomization of the skills could either work in his favor or could leave him with a fcked up skill. But since he wasn't at loss either way, it was a win-win situation for him.
"Pull skill," Noah muttered in the end as he saw the blue screen being replaced by a golden screen.
< … > The screen had three dots on it which were continuously moving up and down across the window.
Noah felt as though an eternity passed in such a manner but the dots finally changed into words.
< Game Of Time [EX] >
"That's the first time I have heard of such a skill," Noah muttered before pulling the details of the skill.
---
< Game of Time [EX] >
"Time will continue to flow and will not stop for anyone. Living beings would forever be stuck in this game of time, regretting the past, not knowing the future, and only living the present."
- All of your skills, whether new or old, can be reverted to their past form or advanced to their future form. You will have to learn the skill, however.
- Once reverted to the past form, you will need to meet the qualifications again to upgrade the skill.
- To advance to the future form, you will need to meet special qualifications.
Note: This ability WILL work on legendary and divine skills as well. This skill is also passive and will work while detecting a new skill.

Noah inhaled sharply once he was done reading the details of his newly obtained skill.
'It's similar to the Exclusive skill, Evolution.' He noticed after reading the details however both the skills were vastly different.
Evolution was something that ten people in the world had. The number would be ten at all times and if one of them died, the next lucky newborn baby would get it.
Evolution worked similarly to the skill Noah had gotten, however, it had some restrictions.
It only worked on 10% of the legendary skills and didn't work at all on divine skills. It also didn't allow one to revert their skills to their past form.
'Though why would I need to do that?' Noah thought curiously as he wasn't sure why anyone would want to convert their skills to the past form.
< Proceeding to show an example. >
< The skill 'Spirit Wind Magic: Jinn's Blessings' has been converted into 'Hermes's Sandals' >
"Hmm?" Noah looked surprised to see the skill working on something that he hadn't learned. "Oh well, it's still all right."
Noah then went near the window before hauling himself up and sliding his legs through the window. He did the same with the rest of his body and moved out of the window.
Noah looked around to make sure that no one was looking at him before activating his skill.
"Hermes's Sandals." He suddenly felt the circulation of wind mana inside his body, the majority of it gathering in his feet.
Noah felt his shoes changing a bit as he looked down to see that two five inches long pure white wings had sprouted from the opposite sides of his shoes.
'I didn't know that this skill had a previous version as well. Maybe I will ask this from Jinn if I ever meet if in this lifetime.' Noah then decided to test his new shoes a bit.
Since he had infinite mana, he could also use some of his other elements simultaneously. So to make sure that he wasn't seen, Noah used a bit of his spirit dark magic.
That was one major difference between using normal magic and spirit magic.
Noah could easily use his mana to do various things without having to use a skill whereas a normal person could barely do anything without the help of a skill.
'This should be enough.' He scanned his body once to make sure that it had been hidden with the help of dark magic.
Though he wasn't completely gone from the place, his body had blended in with the night surroundings.
Noah then jumped in the air lightly as the wings on his shoes started flapping. Noah soon started gaining some serious height, going seventy meters in the air in less than a minute.
He could see his house shrinking from there while looking at the nearby buildings. The skill was similar to what he had been using in the first place except that it was dependent on the shoes.
Noah spent a few minutes roaming around his house to get himself familiarized with the shoes before going back inside his room.
"I should have put it here only…" He muttered while rummaging inside his closet. Noah dug through it for a few minutes before his hand firmly clasped around a metal object.
He then pulled his arm out to look at a 5.10 inches metal object with a cracked screen. This had been his phone which had been broken by the group of bullies a few weeks ago.
Erika had promised to buy him a new phone on his eighteenth birthday which was today.
'I better take some data out of this before going to the store tomorrow.' Noah remembered the disaster that had occurred the last time he had gone to buy a phone.
He would take the data out beforehand to make sure he wouldn't witness a repeat telecast.
"Now it's time to go for real," Noah muttered before sliding out of the window for the second time.
The cover of dark magic he had created was slowly starting to fade and Noah had to do it again. He had spent thirty minutes in such a manner and could not afford to waste any more time before morning.
He once again activated his skill and took off night sky, making his way to the first bully's house…
