"Mom!" I called out, the words escaping my lips with longing. For so reason, I felt like I'm becoming more human in front of her; becoming more emotional.

It was as if she had the ability to make others show their true emotions.
I wanted to touch her hands too; I missed her so much, and this mont being stolen from by a copycat hurt my ego.
The desire to let go of my control and unleash a torrent of anger on my copycat surged within . The internal struggle was evident, but I stopped myself from succumbing to the rage, afraid that my mother would witness such an unsightly version of
She turned towards , her gaze slowly locked up to et my eyes. However, the expression on her face was far from what I expected.
A look of confusion, doubt, and a hint of curiosity painted her face. It was as if she were caught off guard, trying to piece together the situation.
In that mont, I felt a surge of negative emotions, but I managed to calm myself down. I considered the possibility that her initial reaction was simply because my copycat was the first person she saw.
And now, she was just confused because there were two Zyden's in front of her. Any person would probably have the sa reaction if they found themselves in the middle of such a confusing scene.
But her next words hurt .
"Who are you?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. Her tone sounded curious and a bit skeptical.
"It's , Zyden," I said, trying to walk closer.
But before I could take a step, that annoying Zeker guy summoned his own invisible hands and pointed them at .
"Lady Zayen, be careful. This guy can shapeshift; he copied Zyden's face," Zeker spoke up, painting as the bad guy.
"Stop lying to her. I'm the real Zyden," I protested, still holding back my anger. My innate skill, Super Sadism, was already on full effect, making want to torture them.
My mother did not reply; instead, she just gazed at .
'That's right. I knew she would recognize ,' I thought to myself, seeing that she did not imdiately dismiss the idea of being her real son.
Suddenly, a flicker of recognition crossed her face. It was evident in her eyes that she had rembered sothing, and in response, she instinctively covered her mouth in shock.
"I-Impossible, it succeeded ?" she exclaid. Her reaction was unexpected.
"What do you an?" I asked, growing curious because her words was not normal for a mother who rembered her son. .
At this point, I wanted so clarification. 'What succeeded ?'
"This is not the right place," she replied, trying to regulate her breathing. It seed the shock of the mory she recalled made her lose composure.
"Zyden," she called out.
"Yes," we both answered at the sa ti, but she was clearly looking at my copycat.
"Do you know her, Mom?" my copycat asked.
"I think I know what's happening now. But it's hard to explain. For now, all I could say is, he is telling the truth" she explained.
My copycat was shocked, and even the other guys looked at each other, still doubting her words.
'Heard that, fuckers? Just wait. She said I can't hurt her, but I can kill you guys.' I looked at them with a look of contempt.
"Are you sure he's one of us ? I can't detect the Zol Blood on him," Zeker protested.
'I will kill you first after I got my full powers back' I made a ntal note to disposed this guy later. How dare you doubt her words.
"I will explain later," my mother replied. "Please stop pointing your powers at him, " she pleaded.
Reluctantly, the three retracted their powers. The tension in the air eased for the anti .
As for , I just went along with my mothers words. My mind was still confused, like a puzzle missing so pieces, making everything feel uncertain.
"Please follow us, Jin-hoo," she said, using my family na.
She still rembered my last na, aning that she recalled our lives together—the ti when she took care of , where she and Dad doted on .
It was true that I felt a bit insulted that he used my last na, but when I looked at her, I couldn't really get angry. After all, she was my mother.
"Hey, can you change your face first? It's weird that we have the sa one," my copycat spoke up.
"Why don't you change your face? I've had this one since I was born," I replied, lying through my teeth.
In reality, I used to be pretty unattractive and chubby. I only took on this appearance when my charisma increased.
"You think I have the ability to just change my face? I'm not a freak like you" My copycat sneered.
"Weakling," I spat at him.
"Both of you, stop," my mother intervened, and despite our differences, we both felt compelled to follow her.
I was suspicious that maybe she used sothing like mind control, but my Shield Of Z did not detect anything.
She was the first one to approach , and standing side by side I could see a smile on her face.
"I will explain everything to you later," she said, touching my cheek.
I felt warmth spreading, and my heart started beating fast.
Everything seed to slow down. Despite looking thin and weak at the mont, she was still as beautiful as I rembered.
Her long jet-black hair, her snow-white skin, her red lips—everything about her was perfect. None of the girls I had ever known could compare to her.
"Okay, Mom," I replied, holding her hands against my cheek. I really missed her.
"I..." She blushed a deep shade of red when I did it, unlike her reaction towards my copycat
'I know it. My mom loves more,' I chuckled to myself, hearing that her heart also started beating faster.
But at the sa ti, it felt weird that she started avoiding my gaze. Was she embarrassed about showing affection to her?
"I missed you, Mom," I said, now using my two hands to keep her palm against my cheeks.
