Chapter 6: Learning a new way to fight
Akram told us that Abdul Wahab was the one who taught people about fighting in their region. So Wahab was the one who would teach us the basics.
They also said that they didn't have time as they were scheduled to go check on other regions and see if anything was wrong there. Meaning we only had 2 days to learn from them which were Saturday and Sunday.
They taught us many fruitful things and without realizing, 2 days flashed by.
We still hadn't completed the basics and wanted to know more but they said, "We have to go, You should figure out the rest yourselves. You have 6 months to decide on a Malik alright?"
Adeel at the time asked furiously, "Wait! isn't this unfair to our region? What if we are the only ones who don't have Malik!? There is a high chance someone might do something here... and we are not even taught the fighting basics to their fullest! How are we supposed to defend ourselves!?"
"That is not our problem." was the reply to his answer.
In the past 2 days we were taught this:
...
Wahab: "First, I am going to tell you that there are many ways to use Dark Matter but all of them originate from our hands.
What I mean is anything that doesn't require Direct Hand Force to be executed cannot be done by Dark Matter. Such as, Pistols, Shotguns, MachineGuns, and the like.
For example, in Pistols, you have no real contact with the bullet so you can't apply your actual force on it. Since you can't apply the actual force on it, you can't apply the propertizer on it either.
So, the bullet would move in its original dedicated speed and give the required output of power.

On the other hand if I were to use Archery, It would work spectacularly and with even more power than a pistols' bullet.
Why? Cause in Archery, you are in direct contact with both the bow and the arrow. Thus, applying actual force and the propertizer on both."
And the major part was...
Wahab: "Now, at first, to practice your mastery over Dark Matter, such as how fast you use the propertizer to execute a Dark Matter related skill, you use real physical objects such as a sword and coat Dark Matter over it and use it for combat and training.
Coating with Dark Matter enhances a physical objects' Durability, Power, and Speed.
But at Advanced combat level, we use sole Dark Matter for combat and create objects for combat such as a sword from it because it gives more diversity in our attacks.
Now, on to the topic of Propertizer.
You see, learning how to accept Propertizer into your body and using it to change a single property of Dark Matter does not make Dark Matter usable for reality.
Dark matter has to be converted into one of these for use: Air, Land, Fire, Water.
No, we are not living in the Ancient Greek Era or something like that. I meant it has to be converted to something related to this. Be it a compound or a element.
I know Fire is counted as air but its impact is so different from Air that it has to be counted as another field.
Now, people usually learn to convert Dark Matter in all forms. Then as time goes by, they suit themselves to a field, master it and then if wanted, combine it with other fields to create new techniques.
Another thing to know is when you convert Dark Matter into either of the 4, it is always black. So it can be called Dark Lightning, Dark Air, Dark Fire and Dark Water too."

This was the theoretical part. The practical part was...
Wahab: "To use Propertizer, you have to accept it in your body. Now, the way to.. accept Propertizer in your body is.. very weird.
Even we don't know why it is like that but... It is what it is.
Don't think this is some kind of bull-sh*t alright?
So... The way to learn to accept Propertizer in your body is... to see a certain group of Propertizer continuously without blinking for a straight 5 minutes. It should be the same group of Propertizer that is lurking around.
By a group of Propertizer, It is like (points to a propertizer lurking around) this. This is a group of Propertizer. (Points to another propertizer lurking around) That is another group of Propertizer.
Meaning if you even shift your focus from that certain group of Propertizer for a second.. The 5 minute timer will restart.
And you will have to do it again.
Same with the blinking. If you blink, the 5 minute timer will restart.
The good thing is when you have accomplished this, you won't have to ever do this again to accept Propertizer in your body.
After this blink excercise, you will automatically be able to accept the Propertizer without needing to do this again but how fast you can accept it depends on your practice.
Meaning you have to keep practicing to make your Propertizer handling efficient and stuff."
Yea, surprising right? But it is what it is.
They said they would teach us basic fighting style if we were able to learn propertizer which we weren't able to in the past 2 days so... They left without teaching us anything about the basic fighting style when using Dark Matter...
Now on to the present:
...
Haji: "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THEM!"
Ryan: "Chill bro, everyone is angry for the unfairness to our region but we can't do anything about it... We should be thankful cause Wahab taught us in a way that was easily understandable by us"
Umer: " *Sigh* The only option left to us is..."
Adeel: "To create a fighting style by ourselves.."
"..Or use a martial arts fighting style that already exists..".

Dungeon Darwinism: Deepest Dungeon
Dungeons are a lot like sea turtles. They’re born in clutches of dozens, if not hundreds. A hundred may be born at one time, buried in still burning cities, or in forests where the canopy hides the sky, or in ocean trenches at the bottom of the sea. But only one in a clutch ever makes it to the surface. Everyone knows about dungeons— monstrous factories that emerge out of the earth, full of riches and Arcana and power— and monsters. But most of humanity only know about the dungeons that make it. Mark doesn’t know anything about dungeons. He isn’t from this world, and only as a victim of circumstance has he become an unwilling half of a dungeoncore. The other half is a Dark Lord. (Rewrite)

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

I'll leave updates here every once in a while, if for some reason you're still actively checking on this incredibly slow story T-T The path of cultivation is often portrayed as one stained by bloodshed. But is that truly necessary? Heaven is merciful, after all. On a rather ordinary day, a peasant girl was whisked away by a strange old man. In a hall of great white jade, she was offered the chance to cultivate. ...too bad she's as lazy as a sloth. Slice of life Xianxia with fairly little action in early chapters, more focused on comedy.

The Tale of A Fortunate Slave
In the world of Valeria, The capital of The Kingdom of Albert is besieged and yet our story dose not begin in a stronghold or castle. Our protagonist is not strong or powerful, quite the opposite in fact, she is a ex-slave. An ex-slave that got "lucky" in a way that some fear and despise while others enjoy and like her. This is the story of the quite Ash the slave turned personal servant of the daemon princess Lucy Darkheart. This is very much a work in progress so please understand if there's any mistakes or errors. Not only that but I am a novice so that kind of thing is to be expected. Thank you! Edit: Updates are whenever I make one or two new chapters so expect them to be as inconstant as a dragons fire breath. *Tags and Genres may be added as the story progresses. I have a Twitter now cause it would not stop bugging me when I wanted to look at news for a game, the link is here, https://twitter.com/JustAPhoenix2 . I don't know if it works or not on the edit screen, but you can copy/paste it anyway. I may do stuff there like give insight to some of the more trivial parts of the characters lives. (That refers to ALL character, not just Ash.)
