"This world's restrictions don't affect us," Mim surveying the landscape. "We could skip all the nonsense and just go straight to the demon king."
William looked around the unknown world with amazement. "But wouldn't that be a little boring? Wenny always says everything needs a proper story."
Mim shook her head in denial. "That's a lie because Wenny doesn't have a proper story," sigh... "I should explain about Wenny's true nature. Long ago, a kind-hearted old woodcutter had a large, ugly lump-(wen) on his cheek."
"..." Both left the forest heading towards the village.
"One night, while lost in the mountains, he took shelter in an abandoned house. He began singing beautifully to pass the time. A group of dokkaebi's arrived and heard his lovely voice. They believed the lump on his face was the secret to his singing talent. They politely asked to take the lump, and in return, they gave him a huge pile of gold and treasures. The old man happily went home with a smooth face and newfound wealth. News of this spread. A greedy old man who also had a lump on his face decided to copy the trick. He went to the same house at night and sang terribly on purpose, claiming his lump gave him an even better voice. The dokkaebi's removed his lump too... but quickly realized the singing was awful and they'd been tricked. Angry, they punished him by slapping the first old man's discarded lump onto his other cheek. Now he has two big lumps. That's why Wenny always has a mask."
"So what happened to the first guy?" William fighting a four clawed bear asked Mim.
"The first person lived a few years but ultimately got killed and his riches stolen." Without a care she sliced the bear.
William in relief of the help got back to his knees. "So... What happened to Wenny then?"
As if not wanting to tell she remains silent.
"Then can you tell me what kind of beings are you?" Hearing that mim happily started explaining.
"I'm called an Ego. Ego's are Creators chosen vessel's wait I'm getting a head of myself. Let me calm my mind." Mim takes a deep breath slowly letting it out. ""First, there's the God you know from Earth. The most powerful being. Below that, there are... many things. Layers of existence. Among them are the Creators. They choose vessels that best fit them and bestow blessings and powers. Those vessels are beings like me. We're called Egos."
William nodding to the information. "So how powerful are you compared to Wenny?"
"My strength is tied to another Ego. Just hearing his title you might understand why, 'Loved by All Creators'. The only Creators which didn't even acknowledge him were Wenny's and mine."
William was surprised at the power rankings. "So Wenny is the second or third strongest?"
Hearing that mim almost burst into laughter but still maintained her delicate appearance. "Actually Wenny is the weakest one. Since his creator didn't choose him."
Hearing that William's brows furrowed his mind in deep thoughts.
"Wenny's creator had three vessels not proper Egos, just candidates. They fought to prove who was worthy. Wenny won. And when it was over, the Creator chose me instead."
Arriving at the village they both searched for a place to sleep. Luckily a kind old farmer suggested they stay at the barn only for tonight.
Mim continued her talk. "So in a fit of anger or madness he fought against the Dokkaebi's which are still connected with him. Each of them slapped a lump on his face till he became a massive lump. Basically how he creates clones. I don't really know what happened to the dokkaebi's but Wenny started fighting against other Ego's. The Ego's wanted to kill him but since Wenny's Creator showed me kindness I volunteered to watch over him so that he doesn't do something stupid. If he kills an Ego then he is screwed I cannot help him then."
"Now I understand, thanks mom for explaining everything." William with a happy smile laid-back on the hay drifting into sleep.
Mim softly smiling turned the hay into a comfortable big mattress.
Mim kissed William on his forehead. "I'll be back soon ok son?" Her clothes turned into battle armor.
She quickly created a portal and went through.
Seeing the mess Mim almost wanted to kill Wenny. "I was gone for a half a second!"

What happened...
"You getting the [key]? You even lost a fight against those furry goblins! You're just a sad excuse for..."
Rolling towards his legs was a separated head all bloody the fur crimson, the horn broken in half, the face full of terror still present.
Soon another head and another. His words cut short looking around every Wenny threw a head, each different in size and length.
"Y...you! Killed them all?" His pupils are in shock at the massive mountain of heads.
"Killed? No, I would say annihilated, wiped out, extinguished." Wenny's all spoke with an eerie voice.
"You know I'm a subordinate of the Moon.... Ego if you try to harm me he will know, Even the [Golden flower Mim] won't save you then!" His face turned happy when he saw Wenny stop his movements to think.
But Wenny soon smiles even the mask slightly cracking from his smile.
"Oh?, actually she's the only reason why I haven't slaughtered the Ego's." Without a second word Wenny plunges his hand into the subordinate.
Soon after, Wenny's followed each piercing its body. Soon they formed a massive fleshy lump.
From the massive lump a single drop of blood morphed back into Wenny.
The lump also consumed back the massive head mountain.
Wenny standing in the empty domain about to fix his mask cracks.
Through a swirling portal of gold and white stepped a figure clad in seamless blue armor that moved like water. It covered every inch without a single gap, yet flowed with her movements. Mim emerged fully. "I was gone for half a second!"
