Chapter 5: Introductions(1)
Akram: "So, the first thing you need to know is that, this dark thing is not dark matter. It is a force that is used to
change the properties of the Dark matter."
"What do you mean by that?" I was confused.
Akram: "Don't talk, just listen. What I mean by that is, Dark matter is something we cannot see. It exists everywhere yet it doesn't interfere with our reality. So, this force is used to change the properties of Dark matter so it is usable for our reality.
Such as, Combatting, shielding, sword-fighting.. etc.
Now, you must be wondering what is the point of this?
You must be thinking that... is it politics? arena fighting? or overall to enhance our daily life?
Well... to a certain extent, you are right but most of it is wrong.
Why?
You are not supposed to know that right now.
It is better if you know it afterwards.
Anyways, every 1000 years, there is a mass awakening for the ability to see the Propertizer, this dark thing.
Usually, awakening to Propertizing in between these years is almost 0. Yes, there are rare cases but they are very rare.
About 1 in a square of a billion trillion of people awaken to it in between the 1000 years, that is how rare it is.
So, the mass awakening happens every 1/4 of Earth's land.
For example there is North, South, East, West. In every 1 of these there is mass awakening.
And in each of these region's areas, there is mass awakening at different places such as:
If 2 countries exist in the South, then in the prominent cities of those respective countries, mass awakening will happen.
There is a Malik of every region. By region I mean the ruler of 1/4 land of Earth.

He is the one who controls the organizing of the people who awakened and choose a new successor-in-training.
by successor, I mean the one who will become the Malik after him.
To select a successor, all Maliks hold a Battle Tournament in their respective regions.
The winner or the leader of the winning team of the said tournament is chosen as the Malik successor.
That is where the general story ends.. but.. your region doesn't seem to have a Malik itself."
Umer: "Wait wait wait.. what do you mean by battle tournament. No, I mean I know but the question I have is why do we need to do a battle tournament? and what do we do in case we don't have a Malik? How are Malik successors chosen in the span of 1000 years?"
Akram: "I don't know about what you have to do in case you don't have a Malik, Maliks are usually very, very, ultra, super strong people and the people who are unique even amongst Maliks are... well.. Unfathomable. If there isn't a Malik here then... He is probably dead. I don't know how that would happen though..
Other than that, there is also someone who is above the Maliks, but.. you don't need to know that right now.
The Battle Tournament is of course to choose who is strongest amongst you.
About the succession, the Maliks rule for all those 1000 years because people like us live for about 2000 years. So, we have a good amount of people like us and some train themselves to be able to fight for us. The reason for Maliks ruling for all those years is because.. they have the most experience and since they are the strongest from their batch, they keep getting stronger so there is no need to select a new Malik.

When mass awakening happens, they are near their end so they leave it to the new generations.
What I don't understand is if the Malik for some reason died.. Why didn't an acting Malik come?...
Well not my problem. See you then."
Ryan: "Wait! How do we do the battle tournament? Is having a Malik necessary!?"
Akram: "Oh, that. Right, We will teach you the basics of fighting and manipulation of Dark Matter. After that you have to create other types yourself.
Choosing a Malik is necessary as he will keep the people of your region united and protected.
Also... one more thing..
Umer.. is not of your batch. Since today was the day the 1000 years mark passed. Today is the day when mass awakening will happen."
Umer: "What? I am a rare existence?... *sigh* I will think about that later. Also shouldn't all the fighting types be same in your.. whatever it is..?.."
Akram: "No... Every region has their own fighting styles. Alright, no more questioning. I am tired of talking."
*sigh*
"I still have more questions... but.."
"Let's get started with our training."
