So that's the history of how humans got powers almost 2 centuries back.
My power is Pathokinesis means emotion manipulation, which is the psychic ability to influence, control, or manipulate the emotions of oneself or others.
It works like this. I can sense the emotions coming from a person and manipulate them according to whatever they are feeling. I can manipulate the feelings and emotions based on what I want them to feel.
Let's say I encounter a situation where someone is feeling overwhelmed by anxiety. With my power, I can focus my thoughts and energy to project a calming aura, gently soothing the person's troubled emotions. It's like casting a tranquil spell, enveloping them in a sense of peace and serenity.
Another Situation is:
Imagine I'm in a crowded room, surrounded by people who are blissfully unaware of my psychic abilities. I spot my target—a wealthy businessman who holds the key to a lucrative business deal. With a subtle flicker of my mind, I can begin to weave a web of deceit, manipulating his emotions to suit my agenda.
First, I plant seeds of doubt and insecurity, subtly eroding his confidence and clouding his judgment. As he grapples with uncertainty, I swoop in with false promises and flattery, stoking his ego and feeding his desire for validation.
Next, I can twist his emotions like a puppeteer pulling the strings of a marionette. I can amplify his greed and ambition, fueling his insatiable thirst for power and wealth. With each passing moment, he becomes more pliable, more susceptible to my influence.
I know It's scary how everyone is so dependent on emotions. I can detect lies. Sense dangers.
But Just like how great power comes with great responsibility, it also comes with flaws. Powers are like human extensions. We cannot use them as we wish
There is a drawback to every power.
My Drawback is....

Soul Drain: Whenever I harness my pathokinetic abilities to manipulate emotions, I undergo a gradual loss of my humanity. With each manipulation, a piece of my soul is drained away, leaving me feeling empty, detached, and devoid of empathy.
How ironic is it, that the one who can manipulate emotions cannot produce emotions?
That's the price we have to pay for using them too much.
Usually, soul Drain stays up to 1 hr based on how much I use my powers. It depends.
Just when I thought every person cam I saw a tall impending figure with a majestic aura and enchanting spirit can and sat in front of me
I was observing a peculiar person. Suddenly I feel like he's seeing me back.
It's like looking into a void space.
There is a saying right "When look at the void, the void looks back at you."
I felt in my gut, that he's not an ordinary person.
I'm more surprised because I can't sense his emotions. It's like a nullify effect
