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."

8 387Void Hopper
The Progenitors are long gone, but their technology and culture live on. Trillions of beings from hundreds of species speak the Progenitor language, eat Progenitor foods, and use Progenitor technology. The backbone of this society are Hoppers - smugglers who transport goods through the dangerous dimension of the Void. The crew of the Discordant Note is on another routine job when they come across a member of a species nobody has ever seen before - a human. He has no memory of his past, his culture, or of the world he came from. What does he remember? He knows how to operate a multitool, fire a blaster, and how to kill a Sarcorian with his bare hands. Now, the crew and their newest member must steal a powerful ancient artifact, evade the clutches of the powerful Encephalon corporation, and discover the truth about the Progenitors.

TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
