Arin had been practicing tirelessly for weeks. Crawling was mastered, Walking had improved steadily, and his mental skills—Listening, Observation, and Remembering—had merged into something extraordinary: Super Senses.
At first, he didn't know exactly how to use it. He could feel his awareness had expanded; every sound, movement, and detail in the room was sharper, clearer. He tilted his head and suddenly noticed a tiny crack in the floorboard, the faint rustle of a mouse outside, and even the soft rhythm of his mother's sewing needle.

He took a cautious step forward. The floor felt different under his feet. He could sense the uneven spots before his legs even stumbled. His body adjusted instinctively.

Every step became smoother, steadier, more confident. Super Senses was not just mental—it was physical too. His body reacted faster, anticipating obstacles before he even saw them.
Arin's parents watched, astonished. "He's walking so well… and he's paying attention to everything!" his father said, a wide smile on his face.
"Yes… it's like he can feel the room," his mother whispered, holding her hand to her mouth.
Encouraged, Arin crawled toward his small toy ball, then stopped abruptly. The ball had rolled near the edge of the rug, which could make him slip if he stepped there. But thanks to Super Senses, he detected the subtle difference in texture and stopped safely. He adjusted his steps, picked up the ball, and walked back to his mother without faltering.

Arin realized something exciting. By combining his mental awareness with physical movement, his growth was faster than before. Every step, every observation, every detail remembered was now amplified by Super Senses.
He tested it instinctively. Standing still, he closed his eyes and concentrated. The sounds of the room—his parents' breathing, the ticking clock, the faint creak of the floor—formed a mental map. He could sense the layout of the room perfectly without looking.

By nightfall, Arin lay on the floor, exhausted but proud. The soft glow of his skill panel floated in his mind:
[Skill Panel]
Crawling – Mastery (100%)
Walking – Basic (65%)
Speaking – Basic (20%)
Super Senses – Basic (25%)
Hard Work – Intermediate Proficiency: Active
The fused skills—Listening, Observation, and Remembering—were no longer listed separately. They had merged completely to form Super Senses, a single, more powerful skill that guided him physically and mentally.
Arin closed his eyes with a small smile. This is only the beginning. With every step, every detail, every subtle sound… I can grow stronger than I ever imagined.
And with Super Senses guiding him, the world no longer felt ordinary—it was full of possibilities.
