Chapter 1&2 Short Summary (Skip if recently read) :
Krish is a 21 year old guy living alone with his 18 year old sister Riya after his parents passed away. One day he finds an app that lets him make changes in anyone's body. Using the app to seduce his sister, they engage in oral sex.
Same night he discovers his childhood friend Alina is having a party at his neighbor Cathy's house. Discovering that Cathy is planning to get Alina taken advantage of by multiple men, he uses the app to get her out of there. The siblings sleep together, giving Alina her own room.
Fast forward to the next day, the siblings wake up with Alina still passed out in bed. They end up showering together, engaging in light watersports, and more oral sex. After dropping his sister to school, Krish and Alina decide to confront Cathy in her home. In her house, they find her tied up with rope, suspended in the middle of the room.
A stranger steps into the room, immediately running back, as he disappears out of thin air. Cathy reveals the guy to be the one who blackmailed her into doing everything that happened, and has been abusing her as well for weeks. The guy has teleportation powers with a device similar to Krish, as well as connections in the police.
Krish, Alina, Cathy and Riya end up escaping the area, driving outside the city in a car. As the night approaches, with Cathy and Alina sleeping in the car, the siblings engage in more risky play, while touching their friends in their sleep as well. By midnight Krish has a dream about a girl he keeps seeing from yesterday, as she leads him to an incantation, which sends him to a place, where he meets the mystery girl.
—----- Chapter 3 Starts from here —-----
"Understand everything now?" asked me Rose, the girl from my dreams, who led me here, after she unloaded a ton of information on me.
"Yes! But I have a lot of questions!"
"I'll answer them the next time we meet, just go to sleep anytime and I'll be there. We don't have much time here anymore. So, you have to go now, or you will permanently lose your physical body if time unfreezes while you're still here."
"I-I..." I stumbled as she placed her hands on my forehead, pushing down as I felt myself pulled through space, until I was back in my body.
I looked down on the paper in my hands, as the words slowly vanished, leaving nothing, but plain paper.
"So, what does it say?" Alina asked, startling me.
"You didn't hear me?"
"Hear what? You didn't say anything after Cathy told you to read it," Alina replied, looking at the rest of the group in confusion.
"No, his lips were moving, but there was no sound," Cathy added.
"So whatever this spell was, it protects itself too. Just like Rose said, no time has passed..."
"We're safe here, for some time at least," I replied as I looked around the room.
"You know that from reading that paper?" Cathy asked in a doubtful voice. "Let me read it!"
Cathy immediately snatched the paper from my hands as she looked at it in confusion and said, "It's blank!"
"Listen, It's hard to explain all of it, but he can't harm us as long as you stay close to me. His powers don't work around me."
"Why's that, then?" Alina asked me. "Even I'm suspicious of you now. The things I have seen since yesterday, none of them make sense."
"Guess I can't make them trust me without telling the truth..."
"Alright, full disclosure, I have powers too, but different. I can manipulate life forces to alter biology, which sounds absurd as I say it out loud..."
"See! I knew it!" Cathy blurted out. "And look at her, she knew too, she's not surprised at all!" Cathy said, looking at Riya.
"You're sure we are safe here?" Alina asked, cutting off Cathy.
"For now, yes... I don't fully know everything yet, but from what she said, we are safe as long as you guys stay around me."
"Okay then let's sit down and talk this out," Alina said as we moved to the living room.
I checked my phone, which had been gently vibrating in my pocket all this time. I unlocked the screen and it read,
"Singularity recognised! Press to begin transfer of all known equations, subset, Spark of Life."
"She wasn't lying after all then... I'm a singularity... but what exactly does that mean?"
I pressed the button as I felt information being poured into my brain. I kept a calm expression, as I looked around to everyone walking to the living room and sitting down. The bodies that were foreign to me, suddenly felt like I could reach them with my mind. I could feel the heartbeats around me, blood pumping and neurons moving around.
Within a few minutes, the process finished as I looked at my phone as it read,
"Transfer completed partially. Missing equations found, target unknown. Traceback logged into host. Attempting clean up."
"Missing equations? The hell does that mean?"
I sighed to myself, putting my phone back in the pocket. As everyone looked at me for more answers, I began explaining everything about it. For most of the conversation it didn't look like they believed me at all.
"So to sum it all up, you had a phone app with powers just like that guy's Teleportation glasses had powers in it?" Alina asked.
"That's correct."
"And now when you read that paper, it took you to the girl you keep seeing in your dreams, and she upgraded your powers, and now you can access them directly." Alina asked again.
"Technically, they were already part of me, she just unlocked it."
"This really sounds absurd... How did all of that happen and none of us noticed?"
"This dimension was supposedly frozen in time. I only got limited information before she sent me back."
"This dimension? What does that even mean? And why's she even helping us?"
"Uhhh... I don't know that much yet. She just told me that I'm supposed to be a singularity."
"What's a singularity?" Alina asked back immediately.
"I don't know that either... She said to immediately start practicing my powers because then I will be able to stop anyone that he sends, since he won't come near me by himself."
"What's her name?"
"Ummm... I'm not supposed to talk about her at all. Some sort of contract I'm bound by."
I looked as Alina finally finished questioning me and sat there thinking and contemplating. On the other hand Riya was sitting relaxed on the sofa chair, yawning as she stared at us in boredom.
"Fuck this is a weird feeling. Almost like being on the edge of a cliff resisting the urge to jump."
These powers felt to me like everyone's bodies are just a thought away from changing. Like I could pull a muscle within my brain to slow or hasten their heartbeats. If I focused more clearly on what I wanted to do, I could make someone aroused, begging for sex, sleepy, unconscious, or even dead at the flick of a switch.
"If you're that confident, then I don't mind staying until you figure out the rest," Alina said after a few minutes, breaking me out of my own thoughts.
"You're seriously listening to his shit? For all we know he could be working with that guy, and this might all be a setup!" Cathy said, getting up from the couch. "I'm going back to find somewhere else to stay put!"
"He'll find you instantly if you do that!" I stopped Cathy in her tracks. "The only reason he didn't, was because of my proximity to you."
"Convenient fucking thing for you!" Cathy said as she swallowed her anger and sat back on the couch.
"If y'all are done with your nonsense, I would like to go back to sleep. Only if Miss stuck up hadn't taken us on a road trip, we wouldn't have wasted all day running around," Riya said as she got up, stretching her arms.
We all eventually got up, walking towards the two bedrooms.
"So, how's the sleeping arrangement gonna work?" Alina asked.
"You two can sleep in his room," Riya replied immediately, and walked towards her room, pulling my arm with her.
"Wait! You two are gonna sleep together?" Alina asked, stopping us both. "Isn't that weird between siblings?"
"Why? It's not like we are having sex," Riya replied, as the rest of us looked at each other awkwardly.
"What the fuck... she's fucking unhinged."
"How about Krish and I share the room?" Alina suggested breaking the silence, looking at me for support.
"I'm not sleeping with this slut!" Riya blurted out.
I silently stood as the girls argued over the sleeping arrangement for a solid five minutes. Riya was consistently trying to get us the same room, however Alina seemed intent on not letting us.
"Fine! Then there's only one option, Riya and I will sleep in her room, you two will have to suck up for one night," said Alina.
I looked at Cathy, hoping she would immediately decline. She thought for a minute before saying, "Fine, whatever."
"It's settled then, Let's go Riya!"
I looked at Riya, as she glared at me angrily before walking into her room with Alina as the door closed behind them.
"You can take the room to yourself, I'll sleep on the couch," Cathy said immediately.
"That's why you agreed? That won't work, the living room is too far from this room. You need to be close enough to me."
"What? How close do I need to be?"
"Ummm... about 15 meters," I replied after remembering what Rose said.
"I'm not sleeping with you in the same room! No fucking way!"
"You're the one who fucking agreed! You know what? Do what you want, I need to rest after all this bullshit man!"
I opened the door to my room, as I immediately collapsed on the bed, burying my face in the pillow. Rose wanted me to start testing these abilities immediately, but all I could feel right now was stressed and overwhelmed with having so many interactions and processing going on in my head.
I kept trying to ignore the mesh of heartbeats and bodies around the area, trying to focus on things closer to me. After a few minutes, as I felt a bit relaxed, I took my head out of the pillow to notice Cathy was not inside the room yet.
