[ 2nd Ego Level : Pitch Black (Highest?) ]
[ 2nd Ego : Mimesis Malefica ]
[ Mimesis Malefica : You want everything you like even if those things belong to others. You are willing to steal from them. Your desire is endless. Hence, you got this Ego.
Mimesis Malefica allows you to copy others’ Ego. You just have to shake hands for ten seconds with the people whose Ego you want to steal or copy. After that, you will see that you have their Ego. You can copy from the same person many times. There is no limit for that. ]
[ Note (1) : You can’t keep a copied Ego permanently with you. The higher the rank of an Ego the shorter you can keep it with you. If you copied a purple rank Ego then you can only keep it for one hour or two. It all depends on the type of the Ego. ]
[ Note (2) : You can’t use some specific Ego that depends on the type of a person. For example, you can’t copy from a fat man whose Ego is to make him thin. You are already thin. It won’t work on you. ]
[ Note (3) : There is always a price to pay for power. When you copy others’ Ego you will also be able to see a part of their memories. You will see why they got that Ego. You will be able to feel their thoughts and pain when you copy their Ego from them.
And not only that, when you will copy Ego from people, a tiny amount of life will be taken from them. Their life force will be reduced by a little margin. Keep that in mind while using Mimesis Malefica. ]
[ Note (4) : You can only copy two Egoes for now. The number will grow with you. ]

[ Copied Egoes : 0 ]

[ Message from the Gods : We are not expecting good or righteous things from you but just try not to make Seraphim worse than it already is. Please? ]
· · · · ·
Pablo read the description of both his Egoes many times and especially the details of his second Ego.
He was expecting some great things but he never thought he would get all that.
’This… well, I’ll be damned.’ Pablo finally spoke something. He didn’t know what to say.
’The special skills given by the Gods are too much. If you ignore the fact that I can only use them once a year or two, then those skills alone makes me a superhuman. And Altor really went all out to support me.’ Pablo praised the Gods, something he never thought he would do.
’What about your Egoes?’ Cupid asked.
’They are great as well. It’s very hard to shock me but Mimesis Malefica did it. A great name it has as well. Empathic Echo is nice too. It will help for sure.’ Pablo liked everything he got but something was still missing from the System.
’What about my stats? Like strength, agility, stamina and other things. They should also be in the System.’
’The Gods told me that you know how to make your own body. You can take care of yourself very well. Even at eighty five years of age, you killed the special force. So the Gods didn’t add your stats in the system.’
Pablo nodded. ’Fair enough. Guess I better start doing my routine workout.’
Pablo skimmed through the system once more and closed it.

After that, he focused back on the people sitting around him.
Draxus was still sitting on the chair, looking around Sera’s room.
Flash was one step above Draxus. He was walking around the room, touching various things. Pablo was surprised that Sera wasn’t stopping Flashy from doing that.
He then looked at Sera.
’Of course.’ Pablo found Sera staring at him and she was all smiles. She was touching Pablo’s hands but she would move her hands away just after touching for one second.
Sera was busy doing such things and as a result, Flashy got the free rein to do whatever he wanted in her room.
"Everyone, come back." Pablo called and everyone focused back on Pablo.
Flashy sat down and Sera also stopped being touchy with Pablo.
Draxus too stared at Pablo.
"I am going to ask some questions to all of you and you have to answer them. Alright?"
Everyone nodded and Pablo began.
"What is the rank of your Ego? The color, I mean."
"Mine is purple. The strongest after yours." Sera answered first. She was eager to tell Pablo her good things.
Pablo then looked at Draxus.
"Mine is purple as well. I wanted Black but the mirror said I wasn’t bad enough. I wonder what things Damascus has done to get a black one."
’You should wonder what things I have done to get it.’ Pablo thought and looked at Flashy.
"Mine is Brown. Not that bad. I can jump very high."
Pablo nodded. "And what about you two? What can your Ego do?"
"I got my Ego just today and fortunately, I know what it can do. When you were talking outside the Ego Reserve I heard you and I wanted to follow you, and just when I thought of that, my body blended in with your shadow on its own and that’s how I got to know I can stay in people’s shadows. That’s my Ego. I will give it a cool name later."
"Sure. What about you?" Pablo asked Sera.
"Um. I don’t know yet. I had to do various things to know what I got." Sera replied.
"Huh? Don’t you know what you can do now? Your body must be telling you something." Pablo said. He couldn’t understand why she didn’t know her Ego.
"Wait." Draxus chimed in as well. "Isn’t her Ego is moving things and healing people? She moved a chair, she healed my hand without even moving. Wasn’t that her Ego?"
"You are way off the mark. Shut up for a few seconds." Pablo instantly made Draxus’ shut his mouth.
He then looked at Flashy. "How did you figure out your Ego?"
"I got to know that I can jump very high after a day or two after getting my Ego. It’s the same for everyone. We have to figure out our own Ego. She’ll get to know eventually."
"I see. Well, Sera, you better find it out if you want to be of any help to me." Pablo made it clear.
"Yes. Yes. I’ll find it." Sera nodded like a chicken.
Pablo moved on from the matter but then he jerked his head back at Sera again. He remembered something.
"I can help you in knowing what’s your Ego." He said.
"You can?" Sera’s eyes lit up. Pablo helping her in something would be the happiest thing for her.
"Yes. I can." Pablo answered right away. He didn’t show it on his face but he was more excited than Sera.
’I’ll see my Ego as well along with this girl. What an opportunity.’
Pablo read the description of his Egoes again and reached out both his palms towards Sera.
"Give me your hands." He said.
Sera’s heart ran rampant, her feelings were all over the place but she didn’t want to make Pablo wait so she put her trembling hands on Pablo’s palms.
As soon as Sera came in contact with Pablo, Pablo activated his first Ego.
Some notifications instantly came from the system.
[ You are using Empathic Echo on Seraphina Herald! ]
[ You will see what she feels for you! ]
A surge of electricity ran inside Pablo’s body as he flinched by the sudden realization.
’This girl loves me to death.’
Pablo stared at Sera’s red face with no expressions but deep down, his mind was already planning ways to use this new information for himself.
All the doubts he had whether Sera was acting like she was in love vanished, now Pablo knew for sure that the girl was head over heels for him.
’Alright. That’s some information. Now the good part. Show me her strength.’ Pablo used his second Ego and the System did its thing.
[ You used Mimesis Malefica on Seraphina Herald! ]
[ A high ranked Ego detected! ]
[ Copying her Ego… ]
[ Stealing a small amount of life from her! ]
[ Keep holding her hand for ten seconds… ]
[ Now showing her memories… ]
Another wave of electricity ran in Pablo’s veins and a plethora of memories surged inside his mind.
He saw Sera growing up, her mother getting beaten up by her father, he saw her telling her mother to run away and then he saw her killing her own mother.
He saw the Angel Andrezj and he got to know she got him because of the prayers of her mother. He was her guardian angel. He saw how she used Andrezj to make her father, the count of the Numb city, her mere lifeless puppet. He got to know Sera was the real count of the city and he also saw how madly Sera was in love with him.
More than that, he also got to know that Sera was trying to make Pablo fall in love with her so that he would confess to her first.
While watching all the memories, Pablo was feeling the same feelings as Sera because his Ego worked that way and he could sense the Queen complex she developed after killing her mother, after destroying her father and after getting an Angel for herself.
All these memories lasted only for ten seconds but for Pablo it felt like a long time.
Sera also flinched a little during the process as her life force was taken away but Pablo was only focused on the good part and it arrived…
