A month had passed since Aldric first activated the Sign-In System, and in that time, his life had been transformed in ways he never could have imagined. Every day brought new rewards, each more powerful and versatile than the last. With the combination of his intense training, the incredible gifts from the system, and the secrets of his Void Dragon body, Aldric's power had grown exponentially.
The mornings always began the same way, with Aldric activating the Sign-In System. He had come to look forward to these moments, eager to see what new abilities or tools he would gain. Today was no different. As the early morning light seeped through the tall windows of his chamber, Aldric closed his eyes and focused his mind.
"Sign in," he whispered, a familiar command that now felt like second nature.
The surge of energy that followed was like a bolt of lightning coursing through his veins, filling him with anticipation. Then, the system's notification appeared in his mind, clear and bright:
**[Congratulations! You have signed in successfully!]**
**[Rewards: Storage Ring with Infinite Space, Complete Negative Status Immunity, Shapeshifting Ability, Unique Skill: Predator, All Elemental Affinities, 1,000 Cultivation Pills, Spirit Field, Private Training Ground, Elemental Affinities: Void, Space, Chaos, Time, Gravity, Sound]**
Aldric's eyes widened as he reviewed the list. Each new reward was a testament to the limitless potential of the Sign-In System. The addition of new elemental affinities—**Void, Space, Chaos, Time, Gravity, and Sound**—made him almost tremble with excitement. He had already unlocked the affinities for the traditional elements, but these new ones were on a different level altogether. These were rare and esoteric elements, each with the potential to reshape the battlefield and alter the very fabric of reality.
His Void Dragon heritage, which granted him access to Origin Mana, allowed him to tap into the most fundamental and primal form of energy. Unlike regular mana, which was bound by the rules of the world, Origin Mana was limitless and unrestricted. It could amplify the power of any spell or ability to its maximum potential. Even the simplest of spells could become cataclysmic forces of nature when fueled by Origin Mana.
Aldric's heart raced as he thought about the possibilities. With the ability to control **Void**, he could erase anything from existence or create vacuums that would suffocate his enemies. **Space** manipulation allowed him to bend reality, teleport across vast distances, or even trap opponents in spatial distortions. **Chaos** was unpredictable and wild, capable of disrupting the natural order, while **Time** gave him the potential to slow, accelerate, or even stop time altogether. **Gravity** manipulation would let him control the weight and movement of objects, creating crushing force fields or making himself lighter than air. Finally, **Sound** manipulation could produce devastating shockwaves or silent attacks that bypassed conventional defenses.
With all these new powers at his disposal, Aldric felt a surge of confidence. He had always known that the path to true strength would be difficult and filled with challenges, but now he was more prepared than ever to face whatever lay ahead.

Over the next few weeks, Aldric threw himself into training with a renewed vigor. The **Private Training Ground** became his sanctuary—a place where he could explore his new abilities without restraint. It was isolated from the outside world, ensuring no interruptions as he experimented with his newfound powers.
Aldric first focused on mastering his **Void** and **Space** affinities. He created small voids in the air, practicing control and precision. At first, the voids were unstable, flickering in and out of existence, but as he grew more comfortable, he could maintain them longer. He used them to erase targets and objects within the training ground, marveling at the ease with which he could make things disappear.
Next, he experimented with **Space** manipulation. He learned to bend space around him, creating short-range portals and warping objects from one place to another. He practiced teleporting across the training ground, moving so quickly that even the fastest enemies would be hard-pressed to keep up. Each use of the space affinity brought him closer to mastering it, allowing him to manipulate reality itself.
As he moved on to **Chaos** and **Time**, Aldric realized just how powerful these affinities were. Chaos magic was erratic, a force of raw unpredictability that could disrupt mana flows and cause spells to backfire. He practiced creating chaos fields that scrambled magic around him, rendering enemy mages powerless.
Time manipulation was more delicate, requiring precise control. Aldric spent hours in meditation, feeling the flow of time around him. Eventually, he learned to slow time in a localized area, making his movements appear blindingly fast to anyone outside the effect. He could accelerate time to age objects rapidly or even stop it briefly, though this required immense concentration and drained a significant amount of his Origin Mana.
**Gravity** manipulation was a different challenge altogether. He practiced altering gravitational fields, increasing the weight of objects to pin them down or making them so light they floated in the air. He could create areas of intense gravity to crush his enemies or nullify gravity to leap vast distances. Each use of gravity felt like bending the very laws of the universe to his will.
Finally, he turned his attention to **Sound** manipulation. With a thought, he could create sonic booms that shattered stone, or send out silent, concussive blasts that knocked back anything in their path. He practiced modulating sound frequencies, creating waves that could disorient or even render an enemy unconscious.
As Aldric trained with his new elemental affinities, he also continued to explore the abilities granted by his Void Dragon body and Origin Mana. This unique combination allowed him to amplify any spell he cast, turning even the most basic magic into a force of unimaginable power. A simple fireball, when fueled with Origin Mana, could become a raging inferno capable of melting steel. A basic wind spell could become a tornado that ripped apart everything in its path. The potential was limitless, and Aldric knew he had only scratched the surface of what he could achieve.
He continued to make use of his **Shapeshifting Ability**, perfecting the art of changing his form instantly. This skill allowed him to blend seamlessly into any environment, whether by taking the form of a harmless creature to avoid detection or transforming into a formidable beast to intimidate his foes. He found that combining shapeshifting with his other abilities opened up even more possibilities for combat and strategy.
The **Unique Skill: Predator** also saw frequent use. Aldric absorbed the abilities of various magical beasts and creatures he encountered within the simulated environments of his training ground. Each new ability added to his arsenal, making him more versatile and unpredictable. He consumed the essence of a shadow panther, gaining its ability to meld with shadows and become nearly invisible. He absorbed a storm eagle's power, granting him enhanced agility and the ability to summon powerful gusts of wind. Every day brought new opportunities to learn and grow.
Aldric also took full advantage of the **1,000 Cultivation Pills**. These pills accelerated his progress, enhancing his cultivation and strengthening his mana core. He could feel the energy within him becoming more refined and potent, his control over his powers growing sharper with each passing day. With each pill he consumed, Aldric felt himself drawing closer to breaking through the barriers of his current rank.
The **Spirit Field** flourished under his care, yielding a bounty of rare and valuable spirit grasses. Aldric used these grasses in various alchemical experiments, creating potions and elixirs that enhanced his abilities and provided him with new ways to manipulate his environment. The Spirit Field became a vital resource, supplying him with the ingredients he needed to continue his growth.
By the end of the month, Aldric had reached the **Peak of Mana Novice** rank. His mana core now shone with a radiant light, a testament to his progress and dedication. His body was stronger and more resilient, his mind sharper and more focused. He had mastered a wide range of abilities and powers, each one making him more formidable than the last.
Standing in the center of his **Private Training Ground**, Aldric felt a surge of satisfaction. He had come so far in just a month, but he knew that this was only the beginning. The path ahead was still long, filled with challenges and mysteries, but he was ready. With the Sign-In System, his Void Dragon heritage, and the power of Origin Mana at his side, there was nothing he could not achieve.
Aldric took a deep breath, feeling the calmness of the moment wash over him. He knew that tomorrow would bring new challenges, new opportunities for growth. But for now, he allowed himself a moment of peace, reflecting on his journey and the road that lay ahead. The future was vast and full of possibilities, and Aldric was ready to face it head-on, knowing that his potential was as infinite as the void itself.
