He started reading the book right away, luckily it is a magic book and you can read it in the darkness. At first he couldn't read anything, he couldn't understand the new alphabet that the book was composed of, after an hour of looking at it and visualizing those cryptic letters in his head, the actual translation and train of though appeared on his mind. He's currently stuck underground with nothing to do, so he might as well continue reading a gain some of the skills.

2. Eldritch Flame (Rank F - Stage 1/10): flame which flickers dark-green, black and grey, it is able to burn hot, corrode and freeze randomly with proper training. (Control spell)

'Let's start with summoning a lesser undead, so first I took out the processing tools out of my spatial pouch and put it beside me and started grinding the broken bones from the skeleton I wrecked a couple hours later' John following the instructions word by word "Thanks buddy for sacrificing yourself to my cause, whatever that is" after carefully grinding the bones and he dropped a drop of blood from his thumb after piercing his finger with a shard of bone, he took his tome from his spatial pouch and started his incantation it took 3 minutes to finish his incantation.

The white dust mixed was being devoured by the blood and it began growing at a noticeable speed until began to shape and mold into a regular skeleton with a tinge of red on his bones, this skeleton just like the previous one has red glowing eyes.

"Ok, it's time to get out of here! Hey Skelly, yes you! Berry Skelly help me push upward" while trying to help Skelly, he noticed that there was actually no need to do such thing he had a lot more strength and stamina than he does. The skeleton struggled to lift coffin door because of the gasket and the dirt above them, until finally the coffin door gasket broke off and we were able to lift it open having dirt all over wasn't fun at all, luckily I wasn't buried too deep or getting out of the coffin would have been a good experience.

Tremors started occurring the amount of Energy liberated by every aftershock was just really scary. Skelly pushed him into coffin and defended me until the tremors subsided which happened for a total of 12 hours straight.

**********************************************************************************************************

A couple of hours ago in the Earth's Core roots started coming out, like a baby chick popping out of an egg, a Sapling starting growing through Earth's true north and it's roots opened earth and laid it flat like a pancake and started regulating the Earth's gravity and Atmosphere... Actually gravity

and pressure was four time stronger than it was previously.

The roots separated earth in 4 regions:

North - Was where North America, Greenland and Europe

South - Oceania and Antarctica

West - South America and Africa

East - India, Arabia, China and Russia

The tremor destroyed all major cities and towns, electrical energy was rendered useless, by the electromagnetic wave released when the World Tree opened Earth inside out. On the other Earth living space was quadrupled.

People started to gather and do villages and gathering information of what has happened around the World, a lot of people. Despite people's refined culture, the infrastructure was brought back from modern house to more rustic kind. It was more like taking a long step from scratch, at least the mind set is different. But there was a lot of unexpected change, animals started to mutate and grow stronger by their contact with ether. Humans too, apparently many of the martial arts and fighting techniques were actually derived from ancient tomes that were adulterated over time, many of the myths were proven to be truth as many of them started to feel their body getting stronger.

Randomly spawning magical beast and races around the world. New region have been added to Earth: the Underworld currently locked zone, at the shadow of the floating disk.

After things calmed down, daylight was at its very peak, it was noon, the environment was eerily calm outside, no human movement could be observed... the Cementery was in ruins, on the other hand major changes occurred in plain sight a tree is currently standing firmly in the middle of the horizon "What the hell is that!!!! It's huge!!!! Why can I barely stand and breath..." said John while looking at the skyscraping tree. Skelly looks at him confused, he has infinite stamina and does not need to breath, so what would he know about what he's talking about

"Hey Skelly, I finally was able to catch my breath, why are we still on this cementery? Should we actually get more components inside the tombs and graves" He yelled to Skelly that was silently patrolling around the Cementary. John didn't expect that a scream would trigger a reaction from these burial grounds, the dead started awakening and coming out of their graves from their tiny plot of land, where they slowly struggle to come out. Five skeletons that had already able to freed themselves from their underground prisons and started walking toward John's direction, they're eyes were glowing as vigorously as Skelly, with a flame of hate that wants to devour every living thing! Their eyes fixed on me and only me, while completely ignoring Skelly.

Guys what's your opinion on my character so far, did I boosted him a little too much? I have given him tools, as he uses his tools will be dependent of him and him alone. I just hope I don't end up giving him cheat and end up being too boosted, without him putting the work. As to what kind of person he is, I'll let you slowly learn about him. I added a little bit of lore as well and hope you guys like it. The character is currently unaware of what's going on at the moment.
