Chapter 24 - The Hero - Part 3

Tuesday, 9th of March 2021 - dark of space:

Nazar felt the disturbance very early in the morning and left the princess’s bed immediately.

He has been flying in the dark of space towards the disturbance for an hour now at top speed.

(I am so close...) Nazar thought to himself.

Increasing his speed, Nazar was getting closer.

After another hour of flying, he finally reached the centre of the disturbance he felt but couldn’t explain.

“It’s a planet…?”

Nazar landed on top of a green hill on this small planet.

He looked down and saw a town which was covered in walls.

“This looks like a world from a fantasy story...”

He looked around the world and found it extremely weird.

The small planet was split into many different areas.

There were small towns here and there. Each town was surrounded by walls.

Each part of the planet had a different type of towns. Some of which felt like it was more developed than the rest, but still not as developed as Earth.

“Looking at this world… Haha. It feels like I have entered World of Warcraft.”

Nazar continued to look around.

He noticed many different races which were all from fantasy stories.

“Humans, elves, dryads, orcs, dwarves, giants, goblins, etc. And each has their own country. Very interesting…….”

Nazar’s mouth opened wide in surprise.

“Dragons...”

Nazar saw colourful small dragons that were used by these races to travel.

An excited smile appeared on his face.

“Freaking dragons!”

Nazar, who has met a dragon who is probably bigger than a solar system, was still excited when he saw a small and colourful dragon on this fantasy-like world.

Looking excitedly towards the dragons, he noticed someone behind him.

“Who are you, traveller?”

Hearing the sound from behind him, he frantically turned around as his smile vanished and saw a beautiful petite woman with silver hair and crystal purple eyes with snow-like skin.

(She is beautiful. Unlike the princess, she has a more mature aura around her.)

“I am Nazar. And who might you be?”

“I- I am Rina Greenphord.”

“Nice to meet you,” Nazar said as he smiled.

(Height: 1.73 CM. Weight: 71 KG. B cup… Eh, she is beautiful.)

“So, what brings you here?”

Hearing that question, Nazar froze in his place.

(Huh?)

Nazar’s eyes widened in surprise.

(I can’t remember why I came here...)

Seeing the troubled look on Nazar’s face, the woman tilted her head in confusion.

(Where am I?)

Nazar looked around with a horrified expression on his face.

“M-mister? I-is there...”

Nazar jumped up and looked around.

(What kind of world is this...?)

He looked at the same world as before but he was not excited at all.

(Dragons? What are dragons doing… Why does it resemble… What does it resemble…. Huh? Why am I here?)

Nazar slowly landed with a horrified look on his face.

“Hey, mister… Are you alright?”

Seeing the troubled Rina, Nazar wanted to leave the planet but something else happened.

Looking at the troubled Rina, Nazar’s vision flickered and fell to the ground.

“MISTER!”

Wednesday, 10th of March - London, Earth:

Nazar’s eyes opened slowly.

The first thing he saw was the creamy coloured ceiling of his apartment’s bedroom.

“....What? Where…?”

Looking around in confusion, Nazar noticed he wasn’t wearing any clothes.

“My nanite-based clothing… Only I and Solace can control it...”

Nazar was wondering who could have taken off his clothes.

He removed the blanket that was on top of him.

Doing so made him freeze in his place.

“Keh.”

With his mouth and eyes open, he saw something which he didn’t want to believe.

“Stains on the bed sheets, the smell of someone I don’t know, DNA of a someone I have never seen…….”

Nazar gulped.

“N-no, it can’t be….”

He stood up but his clothes did not appear around him.

He tried but it wouldn’t appear.

So, he manipulated the molecules in the air and made clothes for himself.

Wearing black jeans and a black shirt, Nazar went to the bathroom where he froze in his place once more.

He touched his cheek to confirm it.

“Lipstick on my face, a bite mark on my neck…”

Nazar didn’t want to think about the worst possibility.

So, he did not think too much about it.

But he didn’t let it go.

“I am going to that planet again… Wait!”

Nazar noticed something else.

“Where is Solace? I can’t feel her inside my head... But why?”

လလလ

Thursday, 11th of March - London, Earth:

Nazar woke up early in the morning and was breathing heavily.

Looking around frantically, he found out it was the same as yesterday.

Everything was the same as yesterday.

“Stains on the bed sheet, missing clothes, the smell of someone I don’t know, DNA of someone I don’t know - but its the same as yesterday, lipstick on my face, bite mark on my neck… Fuck!”

Nazar held his head in his hands.

“Solace!”

Saying that Solace materialised from thin air.

“What’s wrong, Nazar?”

“Why are you not inside my head?”

“Because you removed me from your head?”

Nazar slowly looked at her with wide eyes.

“You said you don’t need me anymore. And wanted to try controlling your emotions on your own.”

“Did I?”

Confused, Solace nodded.

“Yes. You told me you no longer need me in your head.”

He stared at her blankly.

After a few minutes, he stood up.

“Solace, stay here for the next 24 hours and don't move. I want you to watch everything that happens. And record it.”

“What about your nanite-based clothes? They work as an armour, can change your clothes the way you want but also gives you the ability to record everything, right?”

“And a few more features like teleportation but...”

Nazar took a deep breath.

“There is something wrong. So, can you place watch this place?”

Solace nodded.

“Of course, I will.”

A stiff smile appeared on Nazar’s face.

(I will have her confirm my suspicions...)

Friday, 12th of March - London, Earth:

Nazar woke up in the morning and it was the same case as the last two days.

Except for two things: he remembers a bit from last night and Solace was here.

(I remember a silhouette above me with glowing eyes… but of which colour?) Nazar thought to himself. (I remember her saying something like this; “Your time will soon be over, hero♡♫!”)

He sighed.

(I talked to that woman named Rina yesterday and she said that I fell to the ground and then enveloped by the darkness. Interesting. Does that mean someone with darkness manipulation, perhaps? Then who? I wonder who...)

Nazar noticed something.

(Oh, that’s right! Solace is here.)

Nazar looked around the room at Solace.

“!!”

But she couldn’t be found anywhere in the room.

“Huh?”

Nazar stood up.

He made clothes for himself.

Nazar looked around and found out that Solace was disintegrated into small atoms.

He waved his hand and she was back again.

Absolute Restoration is a powerful ability.

Solace appeared as she was before but she was confused now.

“What happened?”

“I...”

She looked around in confusion.

“You left but then came back quickly with a woman. You didn’t seem like you were in control. And then the woman touched your clothes and it got dispersed into nothingness. And then you two started making out. And then… And then...?”

Solace stared at Nazar.

“What?”

A smile appeared on her face.

“Oh, there is lipstick on your face.”

Nazar knew that.

But why did Solace change the topic?

“Oh, I see. Anyway, there was nothing out of the ordinary when I stayed over last night.”

Nazar slowly walked out of the room as he thought.

(Memory manipulation.) Nazar thought to himself. (Whoever they are, they have erased her memories… But why?)

Then it hit him. He realised something.

It was right in front of him.

(They left my memories untouched to confirm my suspicions? And because they want me to know that I was too powerless to stop it?)

Nazar sat on the sofa and stared at the wall.

(But why did I forget it the other day? Why couldn't I tell that woman why I went to that planet? Why did I suddenly forget it? It doesn't make sense... Wait!)

Staring at the wall, he blinked a few times.

(Huh? Could it be...?)

Nazar chuckled.

(They wanted to see if they were powerful enough... They wanted to know if they could manipulate my memories.)

He started to laugh.

"Hehehehehe..."

It was a laugh that didn't belong in here.

Solace looked at him in confusion.

"Hehehehe... This is a joke, right?"

Nazar gritted his teeth.

"RIGHT?!"

(Why? Who are you? What do you want? Why me? My power? Again?)

His body started to shake furiously.

(There was a little bit of DNA left. After checking it, it doesn’t match anyone I have ever seen. Not even the woman I saw on that planet. Then who are you? What matter of being are you?)

Without noticing, the whole building was shaking.

(DAMN YOU!) Nazar cursed this enemy in his heart.

Solace noticed it but for some reason, she could not move.

“NAZAR!”

Solace shouted out and looked at Solace.

She was becoming undone along with the walls of the building and the equipment in the room.

“The whole world is becoming undo--”

Solace dispersed into nothingness.

(Who is powerful enough? None of the angels can do something to me since I am their direct superior… Nameless One? He is still alive but in another dimension, so that’s not a possibility… The Supreme One……. He is in the same place as the Nameless One...)

Not noticing what’s going on, everything was becoming undone at a molecular level around him.

Not just his house now, but the whole world.

The vibrant colours of the world were getting replaced by a bright white light.

People were getting dispersed at a molecular level. Things were getting dispersed at a molecular level.

(My ability to not be affected by those beings lower than me. I have tried it… but who… Emily…. No, I took away her energies when she was newly born. She shouldn’t have that weird energy within her… Then what or who?)

Not noticing what was going on around him, Nazar’s body was shaking furiously.

He was also scratching his face as blood sprouted from it.

(The dragon? No, I don’t feel their presence… but why would the dragon do this? Isn’t he &$% himself…. Shit! What the hell is going on…?)

He finally noticed his emotions were going into turmoil.

Anger, confusion, and more negative emotions were going out of control.

“Huh?”

His eyes finally opened to reality.

“What?”

He looked at his palms and saw it shaking.

Then he looked at his surroundings.

His eyes opened wide once he noticed it what he was doing.

“No...”

But.

He was not able to fix it. His thought went into disarray and he was panicking.

His heart started beating faster and faster and he lost complete control over his surroundings.

He couldn't even feel his hands anymore.

Looking around him with wide horrified eyes, Nazar felt two hands on his face.

Two warm hands that didn’t feel like it was from this world.

All of a sudden, his heart rate went back to normal and he could think once more.

As soon as Nazar calmed down, the world went back to the way it was. Solace was back too.

He fixed everything in a second and no one ever remembered anything.

Without looking back Nazar said, “Thanks, Aarin.”

From the corner of his eye, he saw the side of Aarin’s face and she was smiling.

“You’re welcome.”

Aarin moved away from his back and was now standing before Nazar.

Nazar looked at the muscular yet feminine woman with blonde hair and blue eyes before him.

Aarin put her hand on her hip and said, “Do you know what you just did?”

“Sorry.”

“And what the hell are you doing, Solace?” She said angrily as she looked at Solace. "He was going to destroy the whole world and maybe even the whole universe."

Hearing her angry tone, Solace backed into a corner.

“Eh… Ah… Hm… Uh….”

Not knowing how the best way to put it, she vanished into thin air.

“Aarin, …………………………………………………………….”

Nazar’s mouth moved but words didn’t come out.

“What did you say?”

Seeing the confused look on Aarin’s face, Nazar noticed his voice was not coming out.

(When I try to say it out loud, I can’t…?)

“Eh, nothing.”

Nazar stood up and forced a smile on his face.

“Thank you again, Aarin.”

(I will go to that world as many times as it takes until I find answers.) He thought as he clenched his hand.

Manchester, UK:

Hundreds of miles away, in a small apartment, a petite blonde woman with blue eyes was lying down in her bed, sleeping.

She was in deep sleep once the world started to become undone around her.

However, she was not affected.

“Ngh... ”

She groaned because she felt a little cold as her blanket above her vanished.

Opening her eyes slowly, she froze.

“No...”

She started to breathe heavily as her eyes widened in horror.

“Not again... ”

Looking around, she saw nothing but bright white light.

Seeing that, her body started to shake.

“Is it me doing this again… Or is the Nameless One back….”

But all of a sudden, the world went back to normal.

She was sitting on her bed again.

Her blanket was above her.

“Oh shit!” She shouted as she stood up frantically.

She held her palms together. Within it, a white energy ball appeared.

Seeing that, her shoulders relaxed.

“Phew. Thank god it's okay.”

Letting out a sigh of relief, she wondered.

“So, who did it?”

Uneasy filled her heart.

“I really hope it’s not the Nameless One.”

The blonde woman sat on the bed.

“I need to find out...”
