[Skill Gained - Meditation:
The system alerts Alex of his new skill yet he couldn't hear it as he was too focused on clearing his mind of anything that may interrupt him from sensing mana and chi, although he asked the system to informed him of any new skills and levels he unintentionally ignored the prompt, too focused on clearing his head instead. A few hours pass and Alex finally gets out of his 'meditation'. He starts to look around with a surprised look on his face, unsure of what just happened, his eyes showed a multitude of emotions before finally settling on annoyed.
"Ah Fuck!! I fell Asleep. Hey!! System, why didn't you wake me up?"
[You didn't ask me to do that so I didn't bother, how am I supposed to know what you want without you telling me?]
"You're a part of me of aren't you, couldn't you know what I am thinking? Isn't it how I've spoken with you all this time."
After listening to that explanation Alex starts to have feelings of Anger and regret, he wonders if asking for the 'system' in the first choice was the right idea as it has done nothing but anger and criticise him since he as had it. A few moments pass before Alex judges that him asking for a system was a good idea and that the 'System' would be of great help in the future even if it pisses him off.
"So I guess I should go back to meditating, System wake me up if I fall asleep."
After asking the system to wake him up if he falls asleep Alex tries again at meditating to sense.
10 years passed until Alex noticed that he hadn't aged at all during the time he was here.
"System is there a reason I haven't aged since coming here?"
[Yes. Taran made sure that time was frozen within this dimension as long as you are here. For the time being, you are Immortal. There would be no point in you being here just to die of old age and getting nothing out of it, although he could have set a limit for how long you could be here before you start to age he probably didn't want to go through the extra hassle.]
Alex knew that many years had passed since he had started his training, although he didn't feel the passing of time in the slightest, this confirmation from the system helped confirm Alex's suspicions that he hasn't aged since living in the dimension.
He continued live in this dimension that Taran had made for him, training, creating and trying to reach the limit of every skill and technique that he could think of, as well as, any of the skills that the system suggested he learns. Training both his body, chi, mana and soul,
With the former 2 improving his physique and the latter 2 improving his mental and spiritual capabilities. Delving into the secrets of mana, chi, the body, the mind and the soul. Training in many different uses that they can or could be used for. Alex started his training by trying to change his mana into the different elements such as the basic elements of fire, water, earth, wind, and over time creating and developing his own spells to master his manipulation over these elements.
He meditated and gathered chi and mana from his surroundings, and improving his strength every second he could. Alex waited before each major increase in strength as he didn't want to get too strong too fast, waiting each time so he could build a stronger foundation and train his control over his newly gained strength. Over time Alex trained and refine his skills, learning new skills, discovering the many secrets of these pieces of knowledge and learning new languages both magical and non-magical. Even going so far as making his own language with its own writing and pronunciations along the way.
As training was the only thing that kept him from slowly going crazy he did nothing but train and occasionally have some resting time, talking with the system to pass the time. Even making his own diary that he would write his thoughts into and possibly write down any sudden inspirations that he would get. Even if time wouldn't were it down constant use would going to far as to enchant it to be near indestructible, making several such diaries each different from the next. He dedicated his first diary to how he trains, the different routines he took to get stronger form the first day to the current one.
"System! It's annoying to keep on saying 'System' when i refer to you, it's such a mouth full, can I give you a name or would you prefer to name yourself."
[Sure you can name me. What do you have in mind?]
"How bout Luna? It's simple and I can't think of anythin' else"
[Okay, then from now on my name is Luna]
100 years Later
Underneath a fur blanket made from the pelt of a golden lion lay a young man, with the short black hair and a muscular frame, sleeping soundly.
[WAKE UP!!! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!!!]
The young man, hearing this blaring noise in his head, woke up with with a jolt.
"Argh! 5 more minutes."
[Alex, if you don't wake up now I'll keep on yelling at you until you do wake up. Now WAKE UP!]
Alex, knowing there would be no way to get out of this, woke up. Why fight a war you know you're going to lose? So Alex woke and started his training, pushing himself to his physical limit, Training his skills to improve his mastery before finally meditating to rest his mind.

Looking at his stats Alex was upset about himself.
'Although I have improved a lot since I began my training, I still seem to be lacking, weaker that what I could achieve, but why do I feel this way.'
Following this train of though Alex went through the journals that he had written over the years and looked over the different aspects of his training that he thought could be causing this displeasing and unfulfilling feeling inside of him. Starting with his first journal that focused on his experiences with training his body. One by one Alex read them all at the same time using a technique he had invented, 'The Blood Clone Technique', by moulding and slowly fusing his Mana, Chi and soul energy together and infusing some of his blood Alex made a technique that allowed him to create solid clones of himself that he had a link to.
After a clone had fully read a book the clone would be absorbed back into the body so Alex can obtain the memories of the clone and try figure out what the problem is. Alex made this technique to improve his training speed, as after a clone had trained long enough they would be absorbed back into Alex strengthening his body and slightly improving his chi, mana and soul energy capacity. However Alex hadn't developed this technique enough as the technique was still filled with flaws, when absorbing a clone the mental and physical fatigue that the clone had accumulated over the time would also absorbed. Alex would need to rest before absorbing more clones back into his body as without proper rest and time for the body to heal the body will end up getting damaged causing his training to become stagnant until he had fully healed. A piece of information Alex found the hard way as he tried to rush his already fast training.

Sitting on a log next to a fire roasting a massive boar, sat a young man with an focused and eager look on his face, some drool coming out the side of his mouth and a loud rumbling echoing into the surroundings.
A few minutes later...
"Finally! the meat is finished, I can eat."
While devouring his meal Alex looked decided to look at his skills.

"Hey Luna the ways these skill are put together makes seem to cluttered can you change the format slightly."
[Sure, what kind of organisation do you have in mind or would you rather I sort it]
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"You can sort it, it's just the way it is now it is difficult to read with too many words together in the same space."
[Alright, how about this kind of set up]

"Hey Luna, How long do you think it would take for me to reach this Ascendant Rank thing?"
[At the pace you going I'd say a few thousand years. Although This could be shortened if you knew what you were doing. A very talented person on Isaria would normally take a few hundred years, as compared to them who has someone who they could find that could teach them you have nothing, although the less talented would need a lot more to reach this. Just continue your training and you'll get there]
