94. Small Steps Make the Big Changes
Alex stirred, his consciousness split between the waking world and deep sleep. Half of his mind registered Edwin’s measured footsteps approaching, while the other half clung to the cozy dream his mind had conjured.
“Good morning, Master Moore,” Edwin’s crisp and formal tone cut through the last bits of his sleep, and he let his eyes open. “How did your experiment go?”
Alex grunted, fumbling around for his phone to pause the text-to-speech that had been running. He paused the playback of his notes and with a mental nudge, he turned off the [Parallel Mind] skill that he’d maintained through the night.
As his mind reformed into a complete unit, he studied his own thoughts. His tiredness left him quickly as his mind kicked up into full gear, and the half of his consciousness that had been awake and listening to study material for the last six hours tiredly rejoined his main thoughts.
The first thing he noticed was the notification in his vision for the skill leveling up.
| Congratulations, [Parallel Mind] has leveled up! |
