Chapter 15 - Miscalculation - Part 5
Kyiv, Ukraine:
It was afternoon and the boy known as Illya Kolisnyk was sitting in his classroom.
As he was sitting down near the window and was looking out excitedly instead of paying attention of the teacher.
“”
While he was looking out, he saw a figure in pure white form appeared outside of the window and spoke to this boy.
Once he saw Nazar, his eyes widened in surprise.
“”
On the boy’s face, a wide smile appeared.
“”
“”
The boy stood up excitedly and ran out of the room.
His teacher called out to him but he didn’t listen.
With a few seconds, he was already outside the school building and was now standing on top of the roof.
The boy found Nazar on top of the roof.
“”
Out of all of them, Nazar was confused about this one the most.
“”
“”
Seeing the boy’s enthusiasm, Nazar was taken back a little.
“”
“”
“” Illya replied excitedly. “”
“”
“”
“”
Seeing the super excited and his enthusiasm, Nazar was taken back even more.
“”
“”
“”
“”
Nazar let out a sigh.
“”
“” the boy screamed in excitement as he jumped up.
While he was jumping, he noticed something.
He landed on the roof and looked very troubled.
“”
“”
“”
Immediately after, the boy went down and went to his class.
He started coming up with excuses.
Nazar watched for a few minutes and smiled.
“There was a time when I was like that too.”
(Okay, I need to get over with the rest in the few minutes and go explain my situation to Emma and the others as soon as I can so I can be over with it. And maybe eat in peace?)

He then vanished into thin air.

Berlin, Germany:
A middle-aged man known as Martin Becker was sitting on the floor near the entrance door of his home and was looking at the pile of his burnt up shoes.
“”
He heard a voice from behind him which didn’t feel human.
He turned around and saw a figure made of pure white light.
His heart skipped a beat once he saw that.
The man jumped in his place due to fear.
“”
“”
The man placed a hand on his heart as he breathed heavily.
After a minute or so, the man finally stood up and faced Nazar.
“”
“”
“”
“”
The man’s calm face distorted and formed a disgusted expression.
“”
“”
Nazar touched the man’s chest.
“”
Once Nazar touched him, the man felt those energies going away.
The power he once had was gone.
“”
Nazar said that as he was engulfed by the thin air.
Full of regret, he sat down on holding his head in his hands.

Sydney, Australia:
A muscular man with brown hair and green eyes was lying down in a hotel bed in Sydney, Australia.
He was watching TV and drinking wine when a figure made of pure white energy appeared.
“Holy shit!”
“You have Gravity Manipulation, right?”
The man nodded as he got out of his bed.
Nazar was standing in front of the TV and he noticed that everything else around him was shaking.
“Your power is useless against me.”
The man sighed and everything stopped shaking.
“What will you do with your power?”
Hearing Nazar’s question, the man rubbed his chin as he thought.
“I don’t know, help out my organisation? That’s exactly what I am going to do, to be honest.”
“Organisation?”

He loosened his hands and sat on the bed.
“I am part of the No Names.”
“An organisation known for assassination, kidnapping, mass genocide and more, right?”
“Yes. And now they have a super-powered weapon under their hand. Isn't that cool?”
“I see. So, that’s your standing. Good, neutral, good, failure and now bad. I like the odds of this.”
“I won’t ask why or how… But I will tell you this.”
The man narrowed his eyes.
“I will use this power really well. I will use it for what you people call ‘evil’. And you will regret giving me this power. And the world will know the name, Chris Fisher. And--”
“I am looking forward to it,” Nazar said as he vanished into thin air.
“I went and said it,” the man muttered to himself. “That guy seemed powerful. Hopefully, he doesn’t kill me in an instant.”
He took a deep breath and stood up.
“I need to practice this power a little.”
He left the room and took a car.
“I know a really good empty space for practice.”

Toronto, Canada:
Inside a lab, the tall and muscular man known as Matthew Wilson was lying down on top of a bed.
A doctor was standing above him and monitoring.
While that was happening, Nazar appeared before him.
He was floating right above the man.
“Strength?”
The man nodded.
He didn’t seem scared or surprised.
However.
Matthew looked around a little and his eyes widened in surprise.
What he did find surprising was that no one seemed to notice Nazar was here.
Everyone else was doing their tasks and didn't notice an entity of limitless power being next to them.
“Interesting!”
“Are you the person who gave me my powers?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“As an experiment.”
“Huh?”
“It’s an experiment. To see how the world can be changed by ten… No, nine people.”
Matthew didn’t understand what Nazar was trying to say, so he just let out a sigh.
“But why does my power hurts to use?”
“Oh?”
Nazar was actually surprised.
“Every time I use my powers, my body feels immense pain.”
“Ah.”
“It hurts like hell to use it. For example, if I punch a wall, I can do it but after its done, I feel immense pain in my body.”
“Hm. That’s because your body is still not used to this power.”
(And a weakness that I didn’t know he will get… Ah, fuck. Did I accidentally base this on Deku from Boku No Hero Academia?) Nazar thought to himself.
Nazar let out a sigh.
“It will get better soon. So, you just need some experience.”
“Ah, I see. Thanks.”
“Also, where do you stand in the spectrum of good and bad?”
Not understanding what Nazar was saying, Matthew tilted his head a little in confusion.
“Are you a good person or evil?”
Matthew let out a sigh.
“I guess good.”
“Good. Neutral. Good. Failure. Bad. And now good. Interesting.”
(I was hoping for 50/50.)
“O-oh?”
Nazar then vanished into thin air.
Matthew looked around and confirmed once more that no one saw him.
Nazar moved on to other targets.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
