The first skill
John sat with his legs crossed, the bag resting in front of him, he began to unpack its contents.
John took out a small bag containing some gold coins and put it to the side, then he took out the phone that Arthur had told him about.
He looked at the phone in his hand. It resembled the sleek design of an Apple phone from his world. "Why isn't it working?" he muttered in confusion while attempting to turn it on, but there was no response.
He attempted various methods to turn it on, even resorting to a few comical dances, but the phone remained unresponsive, refusing to offer any sign of life.
Suddenly, an extreme idea came to his mind. "What if it only responds to mana?" John tried to summon the mana within his body, but it was somewhat difficult.
He felt the mana inside him, but, unfortunately, since it was his lowest rank, he faced some difficulty. However, in the end, he managed to infuse some mana into the phone.
Fortunately, the phone began to light up in his hands.
He started looking at the phone and was shocked. This phone was incredibly advanced, despite being in the forest. It had network connectivity and internet access, and the fact that it could be operated with mana was mind-boggling. This was pure madness! Damn the chargers.
"Urgh, this is disgusting" John muttered as he entered the communications office. There, he found two numbers: one labeled 'Arthur, the best master,' and the other just a number without a familiar name, which John assumed was the contact Arthur mentioned. He reluctantly edited the name.
He set the phone aside and resumed searching through the contents of the bag.
He admired the book in his hand, noticing its black cover trimmed with delicate golden embroidery.
He glanced at the book in his hands and noticed the words "Shadow Dance" written boldly on its cover. "Oh, I suppose this must be the skill Arthur mentioned," John exclaimed excitedly to himself.
He was very excited to learn the skill and opened the book with enthusiasm.
He opened the book quietly, but to his shock, when he opened it and read the first word on the page in front of him, the book turned into a white light.
"Damn it, what is this?" he shouted in terror, but his screams were futile. The white light that had replaced the book began to disintegrate and fly towards him.
"What's happening?" he yelled, trying to run, but the particles were too fast, entering his body quickly. John looked around, confused, trying to understand, but he couldn't.
"Arrrrgh!" John screamed, gripping his head as he sat on the ground, his face pale and sweaty.
After a while, he calmed down, and the color of his face returned to normal. He looked at his hands, where the book was, but it had already disappeared.
"This is amazing. I wish something like this had existed back in my school days," he exclaimed excitedly as he reviewed the information that flooded his mind. This information was contained within the book that transformed into white light.

"The hell, does he want to turn me into a killer?" John muttered in annoyance, running his hand through his long hair.
