Exploring New Powers

The streets below Biodun's apartment buzzed with restless energy. Neon lights flickered against the slick pavement, their reflections shimmering like distorted memories in the evening rain. Inside his dim room, the only light came from the system interface, hovering with a quiet, almost expectant hum. The distant sound of traffic was swallowed by the soft ping of a new notification.

Gssmzzz!

Ding! New Feature Unlocked: Skill Fusion.

Biodun’s pulse quickened. The system, always a step ahead, had finally offered him something truly unexpected. For days, he’d been testing the boundaries, pushing the Evolution System to its limits, but this... This was new. He squinted at the glowing text, trying to steady his breathing. "Skill Fusion?" he whispered to himself, a mix of curiosity and wariness threading through his voice.
