[Skill [Jack of all trades, master of none] was acquired.]

[The ability to copy skill, the skill can only be copied if the user saw the target activated or triggered the skill.]

Skill?

"We've gained success! This is one of the powers of the legendary Magerna's Grimoire! It is the start! Our world domination will begin here! Now, we only have one of them, but sooner, we're going to have an army of unbeatable warriors!" One of them shouted while raising a thick blue book.

I tried to move but something was stopping me, perhaps, it was the red circle light around me.

For some reason, it is now already slowly fading. I hope I can move once it's gone.

"However, isn't his horn a little bit different?" One of them asked.

Ain't it?

I hate to break it to you, Mister, but it's fake!

One of them walked towards me, I couldn't see his face but the smile on his lips was apparent. He is also the one who was holding the thick blue book earlier, it seems he put it down somewhere. "Now, I'm going to use my taming magic on him so we can easily put him under our control."

I need to get out of here! But I can't move!

His hand lit up in yellow light and aimed his hand at me. He remained that way for a few seconds, and suddenly stopped, his face revealed when he looked up at me with his widening eyes.

What? I didn't do anything.

"Is there a problem, Magister Lukas?"

The old man in front of me removed his hood revealing his bald head and immediately looked back and shook his head. "No-nothing, let me just concentrate and stay silent."

His hand lit up in yellow again while aiming at me, but it ended up not doing anything.

The red light was slowly fading and I could slowly feel that I could finally move my hand.

I raised my hand to scratch my head and that made him release a lot of sweat in his shiny head.

"Magister Lukas, the magic circle is already fading."

The others removed their hoods too, revealing that this group was a gathering of middle-aged men who for some reason decided to do this shit.

Baldy Lukas immediately nodded. "I know, don't worry, it is almost done."

He's still doing the same thing while making a 'please work' face.

Don't tell me, your skill is malfunctioning old man?

Speaking of which, he already used his skill twice, I thought my skill will activate once the target's skill is cast?

Is my skill malfunctioning too?

I stretched my arms as the magic circle around me slowly faded away.

Baldy Lukas walked back and faced the 9 people with him looking at him with great concern. "I just thought, rather than influence him with magic, why not show him that we're worthy of his assistance?"

The 9 people with him looked at him with disbelief, I mean I would too if I were in their position.

Don't tell me he has no plan B? He's that confident of his own skill?

"What is your plan, Magister Lukas?"

"I- how about we weaken him first, then I'll just capture him after?"

What does he think of me? A Pokemon?

All of them immediately nodded. "Let's do that, let's weaken it first, maybe it is still too strong to get tamed."

All of them started to walk toward me while raising their staff. Leading the way was baldy Lukas.

Baldy Lukas raised his staff. "Come forth and aid us! Frost Tiger and Black poison Boa!"

At once, two monsters appeared in front of me. A massive white tiger roared as it jumped out of the yellow portal, and along with it was a massive black boa. Both of them were taller than me!

These things exist here?

I could finally move but there was still an invisible barrier blocking my way to get out.

Maybe because the red magic circle is still not fully gone.

I have to buy some time.

"Mere humans, you dared to awaken me from my slumber? Do you know what the consequences of what you've just done are?"

Looks like it was effective, they stopped and stared at me with panic on their faces.

I raised my hand and aimed it at them. "You all will face an agonizing death." I clenched my fist.

Baldy Lukas looked at the other while shivering. "I changed my mind, let's just get rid of him and just summon another one."

"I agree." The 9 others said all at once while repeatedly nodding.

They aimed their staffs at me and unleashed countless fireballs at the same time the two summoned monsters jumped on me at once, but the barrier was already gone and I managed to escape from my approaching demise by jumping away from them, if I didn't jump fast enough, I would probably inside the stomach of the snake right now.

[Skill [Fire Magic] was acquired.]

[Fire Magic.]

[A skill that grants the user the ability to invoke and manipulate the element of fire. As well as the other elemental skills, the strength of this skill is dependent on the amount and potency of the user's mana.]

That's it! It finally worked.

Their attacks stopped, maybe they want to check out if I'm still alive.

I've got a skill thanks to them. I don't know how powerful it is when an inexperienced user like me casts it but I hope it is enough to defend myself.

I raised my hand and aimed at them.

Please work.

"Fire magic."

Before I knew it, the room was instantly covered in fire and burned everything inside the room in one attack.

The gigantic fire coming out of my hand was just a straight line of fire, but due to the room being enclosed, the fire was everywhere.

I immediately turned off the magic and ran towards the only exit.

This magic is dangerous!

Yep, I accidentally burned them alive.

The giant boa was gone, the giant tiger was gone, and even the middle-aged men club was gone, well almost all of them.

I walked towards the entrance and saw Baldy Lukas crawling, his entire body was completely burned and releasing a huge amount of smoke.

His hand lit up in yellow-green upon activating a skill.

[Skill [Healing Magic] was acquired.]

However, his current strength was not enough to keep on using it.

"The Magerna's Grimoire, I tried to save it, but it still got burned down. How did that happen? It's supposed to be safeguarded by protection magic created by Magerna herself."

Beats me!

I walked toward him. "Such a dangerous item shouldn't exist, it deserves to be eradicated."

Yep, here goes my only way to get back home. It got burned to ashes with the people who brought me here.

However, even if baldy survived, I don't think he knows how to get me back to my world. If I'm planning to enslave someone, I don't think I would waste my time on how to get him back. Besides, if they can, they already had done it when they noticed that they couldn't subdue me.

Baldy Lukas stopped moving so I left him behind and ran to find the exit in this massive stone building.

"The knights are here! We need to-" I heard the voice of one of the guards from a distance.

Did he say knights?

I put my hand on my chin. "That would be a pretty bad situation to get in, there's a good chance that they will treat me as one of these guys and attack me as well."

As a precaution, I'll just take my leave for now.
