I am the creator of New Life on the Earth
Chapter 61: The First Skill

Chapter 61: The First Skill

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 something from Sona?"

A spark of excitement 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 message 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 Inducement

__________________________________

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.

Immediately, a congratulatory message flashed across the window:

____________________________________

Congratulations!

You have learned the skill: Telekinesis.

____________________________________

The moment he confirmed 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 empowerment.

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 something, 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, mentally commanding the telekinetic energy to lift it.

To his amazement, 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 excitement 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 mental 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 glimmered 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 seemed 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 momentarily before descending gracefully onto the mattress.

He released his hold slowly, ensuring she landed softly without stirring.

For a moment, 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 someone 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 come 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 home-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 something."

Ricky raised an eyebrow. "Caught up? With what?"

"Just... some experiments," 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 came 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 seemed 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 something new from Pratham?"

The thought both thrilled and terrified him. He had unlocked something extraordinary, but with it came a profound responsibility.

His eyes grew heavy as sleep claimed 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."
