Enzo gasped as his mind reeled from the experience. His body felt weightless yet unbearably heavy, his senses torn between overstimulation and eerie numbness. He lay sprawled across the floor, his breaths shallow, sweat pooling at his brow. Every nerve in his body buzzed with an unnatural energy, as though he had been torn apart and stitched back together in an instant.

  The room around him blurred at the edges, lights flickering in and out of focus. His fingers twitched as they reached for the device now melded against his skull—the **MicroSynape Set**. A sleek, metallic crown-like apparatus hugged the contours of his head, cool to the touch yet thrumming with an undeniable presence.

  “O.I.A.,” Enzo muttered hoarsely, his voice barely above a whisper. “What… just happened to me?”

  The synthetic voice of the **Optic Innovation Assistant** responded with its usual precision, calm and unshaken.

  “**Synchronization complete. User 01 has successfully bonded with the MicroSynape Set.**”

  Enzo pushed himself up, his muscles protesting against the unfamiliar sensation coursing through them. His head pulsed with a dull ache, fragments of a thousand unprocessed sensations flooding his mind. He staggered towards his bed and collapsed onto it, hands running over the gloves he now wore—**sleek black fabric woven with microscopic metallic threads.**

  “How does it work?” Enzo exhaled, trying to steady himself.

  Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

  “The **MicroSynape Set** functions as a neural interface, directly linking your brainwaves to an electromagnetic output. It allows you to influence micro-organisms and manipulate the surrounding environment via controlled electrical impulses. Your thoughts, when properly focused, serve as commands.”

  Enzo furrowed his brows, rubbing his temples. “You’re saying… I can control life itself?”

  “**In a manner of speaking. However, limitations exist. Your abilities depend on your understanding of the biological and physical principles governing your environment.**”

  Enzo’s gaze flickered toward the mirror across his room. His reflection looked back—disheveled, drenched in sweat, eyes still wide from the residual shock. He raised his gloved hand, fingers splayed, focusing on the faint hum beneath his skin.

  Electricity crackled, the static charge dancing across his fingertips, illuminating the dim space in brief flashes of blue.

  “The gloves,” O.I.A. continued, “**are equipped with specialized conductive fibers that amplify the electrical output of your nervous system, allowing for controlled energy discharge. Meanwhile, your Static Generator Shoes continuously collect and redistribute kinetic energy into bioelectric potential. Over time, your body will naturally adjust to sustaining and directing this power.**”

  Enzo clenched his fist, watching the sparks fizzle out. “So… I can shape the environment. Control life. And all of this is possible because of electricity?”

  “**Yes. Electrical fields influence biological activity at microscopic levels. Given proper knowledge, you could direct neural signals, accelerate cellular growth, or even disrupt organic processes. However, without the appropriate scientific understanding, your control will remain crude and ineffective.**”

  Enzo’s mind spun at the implications. This wasn’t just some gimmick—this was real power, boundless and terrifying in its potential.

  “So what now?” he asked, voice steadying. “What’s my next step?”

  “*Education.*” O.I.A.’s tone was unwavering. “**Your potential is dictated by your knowledge. Without a solid understanding of biology, physics, and chemistry, your abilities will remain untapped. Master the sciences, and you master the world around you.**”

  Enzo exhaled, running a hand through his damp hair. He had always dreamed of breaking limits, of proving the impossible possible. And now, standing on the precipice of something beyond comprehension, he realized—this was only the beginning.

  With a smirk, he cracked his knuckles.

  “Alright then,” he muttered. “Tomorrow I going to hit the books but now I got to rest.”Enzo said as he fell asleep with his MircoSynape set and gear on.
