Chapter 13 - Miscalculation - Part 3
Monday, 10th of May 2021 - Kabul, Afghanistan:
In the beautiful blue skies of this newly created utopia, a figure in a black body tight armour was flying.
All black thin body tight armour is made of nanites and it covers his whole body, including his face.
That person was known as Ion. He is also the man known as Nazar.
This is Nazar’s fourth [personality/existence]. In this form, he is a hero with no evil in his heart. In this form, he has a full set of psychic powers. Using the psionic energies within him, he can use telepathy, telekinesis, force field, constructs, psychometry, hypnosis, illusion, omnilingualism, mind control, mind link and many more powers. If the user is skilled enough, the user can use their psychic powers to even manipulate matter on atomic level - and Nazar is a very skilled user of this power.
Right now, he is flying at Mach 20 using his telekinesis in the blue skies of this utopia. Even though it was evening, it looked like it was noon. The sun was up and there was no sign of the sun setting down any time soon.
Nazar looked down and saw what had changed.
This used to be a war-torn country but now it was nothing short of a utopia.
He landed on top of a tall building and looked down upon the city. This building didn't exist until a few days ago.
Standing on top of it, he could feel the unrealness of this building. It did not feel like a normal building.
“Hm… tall buildings which were not there even a few days ago. Clean air and clean water and a much, much better infrastructure? That was not the case until a few days ago either. Interesting.”
Nazar looked around and found out that it was more than that.
Peeking the minds of others slightly made him open his eyes wide open.
“Illness, poverty and crime rate has really come down to zero, hasn't it? No. There is something else.”
He let out a sigh and flew up.
“Now, where can I find the reality warper?”
He flew up and up and behind him, a few cars were flying too.
“Time to experiment.”
Using telekinesis, he was pulling a few cars behind him.
A few hundred miles above the city, he stopped and looked down on the city.
The cars were floating next to him.
His hand twitched and the cars started to twirl around him.
It started to move even faster and faster.
A thin smile appeared on his face under the mask.
He then pointed his hand towards the city and the cars started to fly towards it at an unimaginable speed.
Increasing the cars’ weight and speed, it started to burn up on reentry.
Nazar started to fly after them a few seconds later.
The cars crashed into the buildings and they were destroyed.

These tall buildings started to fall.
Nazar was flying down as he saw something incredible yet expected.
The buildings were being rebuilt.
However, as the buildings were being rebuilt, he saw something. It was being rebuilt as if it was a game. It was recreated as if pixels were coming together and not matter.
Those buildings that were falling down were now standing back up now.
Increasing his weight and speed, landed in the street. After landing, the ground shook and a crater appeared in the street.
But Nazar saw the crater vanish and the street was back to normal.
However, before it returned to normal, Nazar saw something else. Below this street was another street which was very damaged.
“Artificial layer covering the whole city and the whole country.”
Nazar let out a sigh.
“Weak reality warping if you ask me. You need to change it on a molecular level if you really want to--”
Nazar trailed off once he saw people staring at him in fright.
He was supposed to be the hero. He was supposed to be saving lives and keeping people safe, but now he was damaging their utopia. They knew it was not real but they couldn't help look at Nazary with wary eyes.
He let out another sigh and flew up once more.
“Aah, I am so hungry but I need to get rid of this reality warping shit and be over with it. And then I have to find out what the others are up to. And then I have to explain everything to my family. And then I can eat.”
He frowned.
“Oh well, it means I need to get over with all of this shit ASAP and then eat peacefully.”
He let out a sigh and then looked around.
He used his telepathy and found out what had happened.
The people’s minds were not overtaken but they couldn’t do everything they wanted. For example, a criminal thought about committing crimes but they couldn’t commit since their body won’t respond to them.
“It looks like I need to take my stronger form.”
He closed his eyes.
(Okay, so I need a new form since in the other forms, I either appear as a human or as an angel or demon and people can see my real face.)
He thought about creating a new form.
(So, I need a form in which no one can see my true form and I appear as a super powerful being…)
Then it hit him.
“Got it!”
(Calculating power levels and physical attributes.)
Nazar opened his eyes.
“Time to get rid of this armour.”
Nazar’s nanite based armour started to vanish.
It started from his feet and went up to his head. His armour started to vanish and his casual clothes appeared.
(Creating [personality/existence].)
His form changed. It was just a human silhouette made of pure bright white light.
(In this form, I am a powerful reality warper with strong reality anchoring. I am also a popular… popular? No, I mean powerful.)

Nazar gathered her thoughts.
(Okay, so powerful matter and energy manipulator. I am… uh… also a powerful power manipulator. I can also manipulate physiology. Ahh, damn it. I am giving myself absolute manipulation. This should make it easier. Okay, so I am also giving myself detection and absolute restoration. Full set of psychic powers... and um... I will add more powers later. Now I can find that person responsible for this.)
Nazar’s form was now complete.
He used his detection power and found the culprit rather easily in this form.
Once he started using detection, he searched for abnormal energy that is not found in humans.
Nazar found the person in the mountains and flew towards it.
He reached the culprit within a few seconds.
Once Nazar reached the mountains he saw something interesting which made him stop flying.
In the mountains, there was one spot that was not affected by reality warping.
He went down to that spot and found a man lying down on the ground.
“” the man said slowly in his native language, Pashto.
For some reasons, this man had noticed Nazar coming and was talking to him.
Nazar knew why that was the case.
Without even noticing, this man had noticed Nazar's energies.
“”
“”
He heard Nazar’s voice. It felt more artificial than human. It is as if an AI from those old movies was speaking to him.
The man forced his body and looked at Nazar.
“”
The man thought to himself.
He forced his body to move and sat up.
“”
“”
The man lowered his head.
“”
“”
The man looked at him.
Streams of tears were falling down his face.
“”
“”
The man was staring at Nazar.
“”
“”
Nazar sighed.
As the man was staring at him, he noticed how abnormal Nazar’s current form. He had noticed him coming but he was not sure what it was. He was staring at him but couldn't tell what it was.
Furthermore, he couldn't understand it, but he was seeing something else.
He was seeing the immense energies of Nazar.
Jalil wasn't sure if Nazar was even a human.
“”
“”
“”
Coming out from Nazar's emotionless voice, the man didn't want to believe it.
Anyone would find it hard to believe Nazar. And for someone as religious as Jalil, it was even harder to believe.
“”
“”
Nazar looks at the man and found out that his vision was not great and his right leg was missing.
“” the man said out loud.
“”
Nazar kept quiet.
“”
He didn’t believe Nazar was a god. But he also couldn’t ignore the immense energies around Nazar. Jalil didn’t understand it himself but he knew Nazar was powerful.
Nazar kept quiet as the man spoke to him.
He had thought about this before.
He could fix everything.
“”
Hearing that, the man gave Nazar a confused look.
“”
Nazar raised his voice a little.
Jalil became even more confused. He could tell Nazar was angry even when the voice didn't change in tone. He knew Nazar was getting angrier by the second.
But at the same time, he wondered, what is he? Why can he feel Nazar's anger but not hear it or see it?
“”
Nazar trailed off.
All of a sudden, the man fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
Nazar took his human form.
His hand lit up with energy and as he slammed it into the ground, the artificial layer flickered and vanished. It flickered as if it was made from pixels before it vanished completely.
Nazar stood in the place for a few minutes and thought about something.
(Should I…?)
He shook his head.
(Maybe I shouldn’t.)
He scratched his head.
Nazar looked around and frowned.
(Damn it. Everyone was healed but now they are back to normal. Despite being confused, they were also happy deep down. And there was hope for them, even though it was false.)
Nazar was currently looking at a child with no legs who was trying to stand up.
He looked away from that immediately.
But all he saw was an old woman who was holding a small kid who was about to die.
He averted his gaze over and over and over again.
Despair, despair, despair. That's the only thing he saw.
“Why did you put me in this position? I ran away from things like these for two decades. I...”
He looked down and closed his eyes.
(If I heal everyone in the world, it would surely make the world a little happy. But if I were to heal everyone, humanity would be stuck in the same boat; depending on others...)
Nazar frowned at his own thought.
(And I promised Aarin that I won’t interfere… Ah, fuck it.)
Standing in the mountains, around his body, green energy flew out of Nazar and in less than five seconds, it covered the whole world. It touched everyone and everything. Human, animal, planet, and more. Everything.
(Now I went and did it...)
Without even thinking about it a lot, he healed every single person and animal on the planet. Everyone who was ill or hurt was now perfectly fine. Even those with mental illnesses were healed. Everyone was in perfect health at the moment.
“Shit.”
He took a few deep breaths.
“I will need to find others. Let’s see what they are up to. I need to confirm if they are good or bad. That's all. Nothing else.”
A piece of paper appeared out of thin air and fell next to the man.
It had something written on it; I will be back soon. And learn how to control your power without causing something like this again.
Nazar forced a smile and then teleported out.
