A bit before Aiden awakened.
William had just finished his training for today, and now he was just lying on his bed, thinking about the past two years.
It had now been two years since William gained the memory of his past life.
Over the past two years, he has dedicated everything he had to getting stronger by learning more spells, improving his swordsmanship, and making his own combat style. He even ascended once, and last but not least, he increased his mana again. He now has 30 mana cores, and his current mana grade is C-, which isn't bad.
While William had improved a lot over the past two years, he still didn't feel safe going to the neutral continent.
If possible, he'd like to wait at least two more years until he's stronger.

------------------------------------------------------------
William couldn't help but smile at how much stronger he had gotten.
He was really proud of himself, and even now, if someone asked him what the best feeling in the world was, he'd answer it was the feeling of getting stronger.
Even after 2 years, he couldn't get enough of the hit of dopamine he felt from getting stronger. At this point, he was definitely addicted.
On that note, Rex had taught him a brand new type of energy called aura; this was apparently the energy that martial artists preferred to use.
However, while it was mostly intended for martial artists and their body enhancement, it also served the purpose of strengthening spells.
Apparently, each person had a unique colour aura. William's was crimson-red.
At this point, he had started noticing that the colour crimson was really reoccurring in his life.
After all, first his eyes were crimson, then even the colour of his mana was crimson, and now his aura was crimson too.
Honestly, Crimson wasn't exactly his favourite colour in his past life; he definitely was more of a blue or purple kind of guy, but over the years, the colour definitely grew on him.
Now the most important change over the past 2 years was definitely his ascending.
William thought as he clicked on his aspect.
---------------------------------------------------------- Aspect Name:Walking Calamity

Aspect Ascension: 3rd Aspect
Flaw: Terrible luck; slight chance of personality being affected by aspect.

Contracted Soldiers
1. Shadow hounds x 35
[Chaos Servants]:-
Absorb A, S or SS rank natural treasures to summon a servant of chaos who stays in the shadow world until called forth. The summoned servants depend on the treasure used (as you ascend, you can use different tiers of treasures to summon).
Summoned Servants:-
1.Noir
2.Golden Sting
3.Machak
2nd Ascension Ability: Power of Darkness

3rd Ascension Power-Shadow Slime (Aspect Beast)
1. A dark slime-like creature that grows in size and strength as the user ascends. It can consume weapons, armour, or items and then recreate a strengthened version of them with 100% magical conductivity.
2. The user can also combine the properties and abilities of the consumed items to make new, stronger items.
3. The user can make any shape using the slime as long as he's familiar with it.
Consumed items:26
------------------------------------------------------------
His 3rd ascension ability was definitely a lot more unique than his 2nd ascension power, as it gave him his first ever aspect beast.
He then stretched his hand forward, and a gooey black blob manifested.
William commanded it to turn into a bunch of shapes.
It first became a simple dagger, then a spike, then a sword, and then a helmet before it returned to being a blob.
At first, William was a bit sad about his aspect beast, as he also wanted a cool summon like his father's griffin.
But after some thinking, he already had the power to summon monsters, so something like this that provides utility is definitely a lot more useful than a simple summon.
Plus, it's really unique and allows him to never be out of a weapon, and he can also create his own weapon.
Right now, his go-to weapon was the Blade of Runnera that his father gifted him, combined with a few other abilities from other artifacts.
He really didn't want to feed his father's sword to the slime, but in the end, he convinced himself it was for the best, and Rex also chimed in, giving him permission.
Another thing to note was that he had acquired a new chaos servant called Machak; it came from an A-grade natural treasure.
It was a blue-muscular human-like monster with big pink lips, a blue skin tone, and four huge arms.
The creature looked like a wrestler from his previous world.
Since he was bored anyway, he had already done his daily checkup on his own stats.
He decided to go meet Zephyr inside the memoirs. Today he was feeling confident, so he planned to challenge him to another duel.
It's been 2 years of constant of nonstop training; surely he could now at least beat a kid version of Zephyr, and even if he loses again, he should at least be able to last more than 5 seconds, right?
With that thought, William entered the Memoirs.
