Hell:

Nazar was surrounded by the Council of Demons. He is surrounded by 12 of the strongest demons in existence.

And he is not scared.

He only ever felt fear a few times in his life; once when he first met Lucifer. He was scared of that power levels. And when he met his God.

“This is where you die, human!”

Nazar vanished into thin air.

The demons looked up and Nazar was floating above them.

(This is my best chance.) Nazar thought. (This is the best chance to gather more data on the demons.)

He waved his hand and hundreds of pillars appeared out of nowhere.

All of the pillars hit one of the demons.

(I can end it quickly if I wanted to…maybe. But I want to see something.)

The demons took the attack as if it was nothing.

(Data about how they fight and their power levels. And be ready for them.)

One of the demons laughed.

“I thought you were stronger than this?”

(And to see how well I fare against them.)

“I see they have overhyped you.”

(I need to see how well I can fight.)

“Yeah, I know.”

(Plot Armour.)

He tried to add power but it did not work.

(I mean Probability Manipulation.)

Probability Manipulation is a power which allows its user to manipulate the probability of ‘things’. When this power is being used, things can happen when it should not or thing will not happen when it should happen.

(I am going to survive this no matter what.)

He is planning on using Probability Manipulation to try and survive by manipulating the outcome of each attack.

The demons started attacking Nazar.

Energy balls, fire balls, energy beams and more were attacking Nazar from all directions.

Nazar moved his hips from right to left. And vice versa.

Then he ducked his head and then flipped.

As he was doing that, another massive energy beam was going to shoot him right in the stomach.

However, he bent his upper torso to the right and managed to escape the damage.

“That was close,” Nazar muttered under his breath.

“No matter what you do… you will always be just a mere human.”

When he heard the demon, Nazar had a thought.

What was so special about him? What redeeming qualities does he have?

(Why do I have so many people around me? Supporting me and cares for me?)

A demon appeared in front of him.

The demon was not teleporting but he was using raw speed. But Nazar could not keep up with it.

(I have 0 redeeming qualities.)

The demon slammed his fist into Nazar’s face.

(I don’t really have good looks.)

Nazar managed to recover himself before another first was smalled into his face.

(I have a shitty personality.)

Nazar flew up and up to try and escape the demons.

However, it was pointless.

A massive beam of energy was heading towards him.

Even if he moved, he would get hit.

So, he finally used his Probability Manipulation.

He manipulated the probability of the attack and it suddenly changed its direction.

Instead of following Nazar, it made a sharp right and went somewhere else.

Nazar laughed.

“It worked!”

While Nazar was celebrating his ‘win’, another demon stabbed him with a spear made of energy.

(I have genius level intellect… but at the same time, I make a lot of dumb decisions.)

The spear was stabbed in Nazar’s heart.

He tried to take it out but the demon pushed it even more.

“You are just a human at the end of the day.”

“How are you even surviving in this dimension?”

Nazar closed his eyes.

(The only special thing about me is this damn power.)

And then he realised something.

(What if I never had this power? And was never born in that wretched family?)

Another demon sent a flying kick and hit him in the head.

(What if… I wonder, why did Emily put up with me?)

Even though he was getting beaten up by demons, he was still not feeling any pain.

(Did we spend all that time together because she wanted to… or was it because the Nameless One was somehow controlling her?)

“I think he is dead.”

“No, he is not.”

“Yeah, I know… but it would have been better if he was dead.”

The demon laughed.

“I wonder why he cannot die.”

“Maybe he is really important to the universe?”

“Like Lucifer?”

(Lucifer?)

Nazar immediately opened his eyes.

(They said everything will be destroyed if he is killed. But I did kill him when I was taken in by the Nameless One.)

And then he noticed something.

He never considered that option.

(Was it all an illusion?)

While Nazar was thinking about old stuff, the demons noticed how his eyes were open now.

A demon came flying down towards him and kicked him in the stomach.

Nazar found himself buried in the fiery ground.

The fire burnt his clothes, even though they were made of nanites.

So, Nazar had to make new clothes.

(Why am I here?)

Very early in the morning today:

Nazar was not sleeping. He was lying down on the sofa in the living room.

And the light was off too.

He was just staring at the ceiling.

All of a sudden, the Dreamer appeared before him.

“What are you doing here?”

“We need to talk.”

Nazar sighed.

He then waved his hand and both of them appeared on a faraway planet.

It was an empty and cold planet.

The Dreamer was a little confused but he did not really care for this environment.

“How did they die?”

Nazar thought about it for a second.

“Well, your father blew himself up and then your mother did the same.”

“‘Your father’....? ‘Your mother’...?” He said very, very slowly.

After a minute of silence, Nazar said something.

“So, what did you want to talk about?”

The Dreamer took a deep breath.

“You see, when I was in ‘stasis’, I could hear mom and dad’s cries.”

“Hm?”

“They were always under the demon’s control. Almost all of their lives. And not just them, everyone else who was working for him.”

Deep down he knew that his parents might not have been evil… but then he saw them again. When the Nameless One resurrected them. He removed that thought completely. He knew that his parents were nothing but evil.

“And sometimes the demon would let them be themselves. And then they would cry to next to my ‘dead’ body. I… They talked so much about how they regretted it.”

Nazar listened but he was not going to take any of this seriously.

“When our sister ‘died’, they both talked to me about how they regretted everything… And how they wish they could have done it differently.”

“As far as I know, they never really cared about me. And that’s all the reasons I need to hate them.”

“You… You are not wrong. It is true that they did not care about you…”

Nazar was not surprised. He was expecting this answer. And he did not really care.

The Dreamer thought about what he wanted to say next.

“But you have to understand, they feared you. You are a god. A being so above the rest of us.”

Nazar sighed.

“I just… I just wanted to let you know that they were good to us. They did not deserve to die.”

“This is what you wanted to talk about?”

Nazar laughed.

However, it was a very short laugh.

“I guess there is no point in keeping this a secret from you.”

The Dreamer was confused.

“Then let me tell you a secret.”

Nazar narrowed his eyes.

“I knew that your mother was under control. And I am the one who killed her.”

“Wh-what are you say--”

“I knew that she was under control. And I still killed her. I manipulated the explosives within her and blew her up above London.”

The Dreamer’s eyes widened in shock.

“It was all part of my plan. Get caught, mess up with their data, delete it, learn more about the experiment, kill everyone involved and more. And then I also freed hundreds of other people.”

Nazar could see the horror in the Dreamer’s eyes.

His eye colour was changing constantly.

It changed from red to orange. From yellow to dark green. From light blue to grey. And more.

Each of those eye colours showed an emotion.

He had rage in those eyes. He had feared. He had sadness. And more.

“What… kind of monster are you?”

“The type of monster your mother and father created. Blame them, not me, you bastard!”

The Dreamer raised his right hand to his eyes.

And they were now glowing red.

“JUST HOW COULD YOU KILL HER?”

Nazar frowned when he heard that.

“Oh, shut the fuck up, you were dead. You don’t understand shit.”

“...”

“You don’t understand anything. You just came back from the dead and pretend everything is okay. They did not care about any of us. They cried at your deathbed? Haha. Don’t fucking joke with me, you bastard!”

Nazar took a step towards his brother.

“If I had died then… They would have been laughing. And the only reason they were going to mourn my death would be because they could no longer mess with me anymore.”

The Dreamer took a step back.

“You were your mama’s boy. I wasn’t.”

The Dreamer could now see the anger in Nazar’s eyes.

So, he started to feel fear.

“You don’t understand anything… You were dead. You had it easier.”

“Nazar… Calm down!”

Nazar did not notice that he had changed form when he was talking.

He was completely unaware of it.

And he also did not notice that the ground beneath him started to crack.

Nazar punched the Dreamer and he was thrown away.

“You don’t know them as I do. When the Nameless One resurrected them, they just wanted to mess with me.”

Then Nazar noticed the black energy field around him.

“Tch.”

He changed back to his normal form.

Now:

He was buried beneath the fiery ground.

“Why am I here?” Nazar muttered.

He got up and saw the demons around him.

Without wasting a second, they all hit him with an energy attack or a weapon.

Nazar managed to mess around with some of those attacks.

He used his vector manipulation and repelled some of the energy attacks. A beam of energy was very close to him, so he took and repelled it using his vector manipulation. Once he manipulated that attack, it went back and hit its owner.

But it was useless. The demon took as if it was nothing.

A spear was about to stab into him, so he dodged it by moving to the right.

A fireball was about to hit him, so he changed it using probability manipulation.

The fireball changed direction and it avoided him.

Another one was going to punch him, but Nazar’s got disintegrated into nothingness.

He made removed disintegrated himself atom by atom.

The demons found themselves confused.

“...?!”

“What just happened?”

“It was not teleportation or speed.”

“I can still feel his energies… but it is scattered all over the place.”

After a few seconds, the demons heard laughter all around them.

They looked around and saw thousands of Nazars.

“What?”

“!!”

“??”

“Haha… This should be fun,” all Nazars said at the same time.

All of them surrounded the demons.

(Why am I here?) Nazar thought to himself.

All of his clones attacked the demons. They were using physical attacks.

(I am here because I hate these people. But more than that… I am just here to have fun.)

However, there was something off about them.

(I have not been able to feel pain. Let’s see if they can help me.)

As soon as they got hit by the demons, they would vanish into thin air.

The real Nazar slipped through the clones and managed to take out one of the demons pretty easily.

He used the others as a cover.

He got behind the demon and killed him forever.

He immediately tried to use the same strategy on another demon but one of them noticed it.

The demon who noticed it, he slammed an energy ball on the ground and all of the clones vanished.

“They weren’t clones. They were just illusions.”

“Ah, you got me.”

The demon slammed his foot on the ground and it opened up.

From the hole, a massive monster appeared.

Before he could react, he was eaten by it.

“What is this?”

He was inside the beast’s belly.

“It’s so hot in here.”

Nazar’s body started to radiate.

And after a second, he blew up like a star. It was not very big because he contained it.

“I am disappointed--”

Before he could finish, the demons ripped him in multiple pieces.

He was broken into small parts.

And it all took less than a second.

“As I said earlier, you are just a human.”

Nazar was still not feeling any pain or fear.

However, he then vanished into thin air.

“He left this dimension?”

“I guess we should leave him be for now.”

Earlier today - unknown planet:

Nazar was lying down on the ground.

And the Dreamer was sitting next to him.

Nazar told him about what they did to him.

After her told him the story, they both went quite.

After a long silence, Nazar spoke.

“Sorry,” Nazar said.

The Dreamer was confused.

“I know you cared for her and your father but I didn’t. If you want to try and kill me, I will let you kill me. But know this, I cannot die.”

“I know.”

“She might have been nice to me… but it looks like at least she loved you enough to kill you and get rid of you.”

“It was not just me. There were hundreds of other people who died like me.”

Nazar looked at him.

He did not know about that.

“I am not going to go on a rampage because they are dead. Or I am going to start fighting you for killing her. But I do know this now… in a way…”

The Dreamer forced a smile on his face.

“In a way, I am glad they are gone. What good is a life when you are being controlled? When you are not even living your own life?”

(Zerathos...)

“So, in a way, I am thankful to you. For saving her.”

(Demons...)

Nazar gave him an annoyed look.

(I hate them all.)

“Tch.”

“Did you alway hate them?”

Nazar thought about it.

“No...”

The Dreamer was actually surprised by that answer.

“At one point I wanted them to love like any parent would love their child. I was looking up to them. Chasing after them - through not physically. I wanted their attention but I never got it...”

The Dreamer smiled.

“Good to know,” he said very slowly.

Then Nazar noticed something.

(That’s right...)

He had something similar.

“I was not so different either.”

“Hm?”

Nazar sat up.

“When I was living with Emma for this long… She always looked up to me. Wanted my attention. Chasing after me. And I never even noticed her.”

Nazar punched the ground.

“Damn it!”

“Maybe you can be better from now on?”

“I tried that. I am still trying but is it really enough? Will it make up for the lost years?”

“No.”

The Dreamer replied very quickly.

“But we can. We can do it from now. We are a family. We can be together. We can give each other what we did not have until now.”

Aeron held out his hand.

“So, what do you say, brother?”

“Hm?”

“Let’s be better brothers to her. Be her family. And be close to her. Let’s not let her feel alone.”

Nazar looked at Aeron’s hand.

“We all want to make up for the lost years. So, let’s do it together.”

He then looked at his own hand.

He clenched it and then unclenched it.

“Let’s be family. Let’s start over.”

Nazar shook his hand with Aeron.

“Let’s all be a family. Me, you, Emma, Aria, our other cousins, aunts, uncles, and more.”

Nazar smiled.

“And if you ever go too far, I will bring you back on track.”

Nazar laughed.

“Good luck with that.”

“I can at least try, right?”

“Same.”

“Huh?”

“If you go too far, I will bring you back on track.”

“Deal!”

Nazar stood up.

“But I have to do something first.”

“What is it?”

“I am going to go to hell first and kill the bastard that ruined our lives.”

“And how will you do that?”

“I will figure it out before the day ends.”

Nazar looked down at his brother and smiled.

“After all, I can do anything if I want to.”

Aeron stood up.

“Do you need help?”

“No. I am going to do this by myself.”

“Okay.”

They both vanished into thin air and went their separate ways.
