After everyone had finished their prayers, they quickly returned to studying the information contained in the ancient papyrus, which revealed the mysterious energy system.
Hussein held the papyrus again and prepared to speak:
Level Five – The Nervous System
Now, the brain must learn how to understand and send signals to control the energy. Initially, users may suffer from constant headaches or hallucinations due to the instability of energy within the nerves.
After overcoming this stage, the body becomes ready to choose the energy that suits it, though the energy is still not fully available.
Obstacles during the Qualification Stages:
1. Internal Enemies (Diseases and Physical Transformations):
Some may fail to adapt and die due to a malfunction in one of the systems.
Unexpected developments, such as the appearance of new diseases caused by the body's interaction with "Heka" incorrectly, can occur.
Some users may suffer from mental disorders due to the neurological effects of the energy.
Level Six – Genetic, Blood, and Mental Development
After passing level five, users enter the true genetic transformation stage, where the body begins to evolve at a deeper level.
Genetic Evolution: With continuous exposure to "Heka," genetic mutations begin to appear, leading to permanent adaptation to the suitable energy. However, users still cannot fully utilize it.
The body and mind become connected to the type of energy most suitable for them.
Blood Evolution: The blood becomes more efficient in transferring energy, granting users the ability to bear higher levels of energy without side effects. The color of the blood may slightly change depending on the amount of energy acquired, and some users may gain a faster recovery rate.
Mental Evolution: The brain starts receiving and analyzing energy in new ways, granting users advanced cognitive abilities, such as faster reactions, deeper thinking, or even sensing the energy of others. However, the risk lies in losing control of the mind if balance is not maintained.
Obstacles and Risks during this Level – Beware:
1. Unstable Genetic Mutations: Abnormal mutations may appear, hindering control over the energy, leading to physical deformities or complete bodily collapse.
2. Mental Exhaustion and Self-Destruction: Some users may mentally collapse due to the immense pressure on the brain, possibly resulting in insanity or loss of control during the mental evolution.
Level Seven – Stabilizing Adaptation to Changes
After undergoing all the genetic and mental changes, users must stabilize these changes to avoid serious side effects.
Details of Adaptation and Stabilization:
1. Gene and Energy Stability: The body fully adapts to the energy suitable for it, automatically correcting any malfunction.
2. Balance of the Nervous System and Mind: If mental abilities have evolved excessively, the mind re-adjusts itself. If physical strength increases, the body regulates its energy consumption.
3. Adaptation to the Environment: The body becomes more efficient in absorbing energy, and the immune system adapts to using it rather than resisting it.
Risks:
Failure to stabilize the changes may lead to loss of power or even death.
Some users may experience their bodies rejecting the new energy, causing intense physical or mental pain.
Level Eight – Discovering and Developing Talent
After stabilizing the body and mind, users can focus on developing their individual skills.
How is Talent Discovered?
1. Trial and Error: Users try various skills until they find what suits them.
2. Analysis of Genes and Energy: Some individuals have a natural talent for a specific style.
3. Environmental and Cultural Influence: The environment in which the person grew up may affect their combat style.
Examples of Talent Development:
A physically strong person may excel in wrestling or using heavy weapons.
A fast and intelligent person may excel in stealth or using light weapons.
A person with high mental abilities may become an expert in planning and strategies.
Level Nine – Understanding the Dominant Gene & Deep Sleep Stage
After passing through all the previous levels, the user's true gene begins to emerge, the gene that determines their final abilities.
How Does the Dominant Gene Appear?
1. After long periods of training, the body begins to analyze the powerful genes.
2. The gene may come from one of the parents or be a rare mix between them or even from the grandparents, but it was dormant until this stage.
3. Once the gene is identified, a sudden development of power occurs, revealing unprecedented new traits.
Why is Deep Sleep Necessary?
During sleep, the brain re-organizes the information, and the body rebuilds itself according to the new gene. Sleep is a necessary process to integrate all the developed abilities, so users will be forced into deep sleep.
Without sleep, or insufficient sleep, the user may suffer from constant fatigue, confusion in their power, or even a physical collapse.
What Happens After Waking Up?
The user becomes completely stable in their power.
They now have a natural ability suited to their genes, making their power unique from anyone else's.
They no longer suffer from adaptation issues.
They gain the ability to use their energy efficiently.
But don't think that you now control "Heka"... you are still far from it! I'll see you at the second level, my grandchildren...
At the bottom of the papyrus, there were medical recipes to help humans adapt to these changes.
Everyone stared at Hussein in shock... This wasn't just an energy system, but a complete biological transformation for humans! Yet, they were still far from "Heka."
If Ra had discovered this system, which equals the power of the mysterious beings, what would their true power be? And what is the exact power of our enemies?
The next stop: Everything changes, and the world is not that simple...

"Now that the 'Heka' energy system has been revealed, and you've seen the intensity of the events and plot twists—what do you think of this chapter? And what are your thoughts on the 'Heka' energy system itself? I poured my effort into crafting it, so I'd truly appreciate your honest feedback and a follow-up review of the novel!"
