The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast shadows across the ceiling of Adam’s room as he lay there, his thoughts racing.
His eyes wandered over the faintly glowing patterns on the ceiling, and then it struck him like a bolt of inspiration.
"Wait... if I can learn any skill from Mikasa, pratham, or even myself in a second... why not try learning sothing from Sona?"
A spark of excitent flared within him. He look up slightly, carefully glancing at Sona, who was curled up on his chest, her golden feathers wrapped protectively around her tiny form as she slept soundly.
Her serene expression gave him pause. "I don’t want to wake her up... but it won’t hurt to try, right?"
"Connection," Adam whispered softly.
A translucent, purple window materialized in the air before him. The text read:
___________________________________
Your skill ’Connection’ allows you to learn one skill from any of your creations. Choose wisely.
___________________________________
Beneath the ssage were three glowing options:
__________________________________
• Pratham’s Skills
• Mikasa’s Skills
• Sona’s Skills
__________________________________
Adam’s gaze settled on Sona’s Skills. With a gentle touch of his mind, he selected it, and another window appeared, listing her abilities:
__________________________________
1. Telekinesis
2. Teleportation
3. Telepathy and Mind Reading
4. Nightmare Inducent
__________________________________
His lips curled into a grin. "Telekinesis... that could be incredibly useful. Let’s give it a shot."
With a deliberate focus, he selected Telekinesis.
Imdiately, a congratulatory ssage flashed across the window:
____________________________________
Congratulations!
You have learned the skill: Telekinesis.
____________________________________
The mont he confird the choice, a wave of warmth surged through his body, making him shudder.
The heat intensified, and he felt a strange pressure building within. His body began to emit faint wisps of steam as if the energy was trying to escape.
On his chest, Sona shifted slightly, disturbed by the heat radiating from him.
Adam froze, willing himself to remain still so as not to wake her. Thankfully, the sensation soon dissipated, leaving him with a strange sense of empowernt.
He opened his eyes slowly, taking a deep breath. "That... that was intense."
Another purple window appeared in front of him:
____________________________________
You can only learn one skill per day from your creations.
____________________________________
Adam chuckled. "One skill a day? That’s not bad. At least I’m learning sothing, and telekinesis alone is worth it."
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the notification and glanced toward his desk, where his phone rested.
"Let’s see if this really works."
---
Adam focused intently on his phone, ntally commanding the telekinetic energy to lift it.
To his amazent, the phone trembled slightly before rising smoothly into the air.
It floated toward him, its screen turning to face him as if it were presenting itself.
His heart raced with excitent as he realized the full extent of his newfound ability.
"I didn’t even have to move a muscle," he muttered under his breath, his lips curling into a triumphant smile.
"This is incredible... and maybe it’s so seamless because I copied Sona’s experience along with the skill."
Satisfied, he guided the phone back to the desk with a simple ntal command.
"Adam!" His mother’s voice called from downstairs, interrupting his reverie. "Dinner’s ready!"
He glanced down at Sona, still fast asleep on his chest. Her golden feathers glimred softly in the dim light. "I can’t just shout back and wake her up... let’s try using telekinesis again."
With a deep breath, he focused on Sona. The golden aura surrounding her seed to respond to his thoughts as she gently lifted off his chest. Her small, peaceful form floated in the air, cradled by an invisible force.
Adam carefully guided her to the empty spot beside his bed.
She hovered montarily before descending gracefully onto the mattress.
He released his hold slowly, ensuring she landed softly without stirring.
For a mont, he held his breath, watching to see if she’d wake. But Sona remained undisturbed, lost in her dreams.
He exhaled in relief. "That was... easier than I thought," he murmured.
As he stood, a thought crossed his mind. "Sona might be incredibly powerful, but she’s not invincible. If soone with telekinetic powers targeted her, she could be in real danger. I need to make sure she’s protected."
His mother’s voice echoed again from downstairs, pulling him out of his thoughts. "Adam! Dinner’s getting cold!"
"I will think about it later. Right now I have to go downstairs or else mom and dad will co upstairs." Adam thinks
With a resigned sigh, Adam shook his head and made his way downstairs.

The dining table was already set, and the comforting aroma of ho-cooked food filled the air. His parents,
Rachel and Ricky, were seated, waiting for him.
"You’re late," Rachel said with a teasing smile as he took his seat.
"Sorry, Mom," Adam replied, serving himself. "Got caught up with sothing."
Ricky raised an eyebrow. "Caught up? With what?"
"Just... so experints," Adam replied vaguely, earning a knowing look from his father.
Dinner passed with light conversation, though Adam’s mind was elsewhere.
The possibilities of his new skill, the implications of being able to learn more, and the responsibilities that ca with them weighed on him.
---
Back in his room, Adam climbed into bed, exhaustion finally catching up with him.
He glanced at Sona, still peacefully asleep on the adjacent mattress.
Her delicate features seed almost angelic under the soft light.
"She’s been through so much today. She deserves the rest," he thought, pulling the covers over himself.
As he stared at the ceiling, his mind wandered back to the earlier experience of copying Sona’s skill.
"If I can do that with her, what else is possible? Could I... learn every skill she has? Or Mikasa’s? Or even sothing new from Pratham?"
The thought both thrilled and terrified him. He had unlocked sothing extraordinary, but with it ca a profound responsibility.
His eyes grew heavy as sleep claid him. The last thought that crossed his mind was a quiet resolution: "I’ll master these powers... for them. For the world I’m creating."
