Abdullah looked at his status in shock and confusion. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked the system the questions running through his mind.
— Why has my ethnicity percentage increased?
The system replied:
[Because you have gained the bloodline and essence of Set, your ethnicity percentage increased. As for the rest, they have unified — which is actually better for you, so there's no need to worry.]
Abdullah said:
— Then why isn't it 100%? Why only 99%?
The system, in a sarcastic tone, answered:
[Do you think human genes are that simple? They must remain mixed so you don't fall ill or die quickly, or develop any fatal flaws.]
[Right now, your body holds 97% of your original ethnicity, 2% from Set's bloodline and genes, and the remaining 1% is the optimal unifying percentage for your case.]
[In other words, you could say your body is one of the best in existence — genetically complete. Do you understand what that means?]
Abdullah's eyes widened.
— Wow… I didn't expect that. I thought — like in the novels — that reaching 100% would make me stronger. But I guess things work differently here. Well, no matter.
Looking at his current level, he smiled:
— I finally made it here… it really was a tough journey.
He moved his arm to feel his power, but was surprised to sense no difference at all. It made him feel like a joke without knowing why.
— Isn't it normal that when you advance to a new level, you feel a huge surge of power, and your body just needs time to adjust? What's going on here?
[-ـ-]
The system sighed.
— [Can I disconnect from you? I feel like I've gotten myself into trouble I can't handle, and honestly, I regret it.]
Abdullah looked at the system.
— Alright, I get it… can you just explain it to me? I honestly don't know.
The system replied:
[Fine… but tell me first — what do you think the "Deep Sleep Phase" is?]
Abdullah said:
— It's the transition stage between the body's rehabilitation level and the next level. It's necessary, and in it, the mind reorganizes everything and adapts to the changes made during the rehabilitation phase before entering a new stage.
The system confirmed:
[Correct. This stage is crucial — without it, your body might change in unnatural ways. That's why no matter how long it lasts, you should never wake someone during deep sleep.]
[As for why you don't feel stronger, I'll explain with an example: when you train with weights, what do you feel?]
Abdullah answered:
— At first, I feel muscle fatigue, but later I can train normally.
The system continued:
[Exactly. On the first and second days, your muscles ache, but as days pass — even if you don't notice — your body is getting stronger, able to lift heavier weights.]
[This happens thanks to sleep; your brain adapts to the training while you rest. In deep sleep, it's the same — your body is "training" and adjusting without your conscious awareness.]
Abdullah smiled:
— So that's why I feel normal, like I'm still at my old level. Alright… I'll test my strength later.
Then he looked at his new options:
— What are these new energies? What's the Energy of Faith and the Haka of Chaos and Origin? Are they different from normal Haka?
The system replied calmly:
[Press the exclamation mark or question mark next to the energy.]
Abdullah did so, and the status screen shifted to display a definition.

Energy of Iman
A true power derived from Iman (faith) in the pillars of Islam. It can only be wielded by those whose belief is sincere and unwavering, making it a blessing for the faithful and a curse for the doubtful. It was used by Muslims in ancient times to win wars against mighty empires such as Rome, and no one could stand against them when it was active.
Conditions to Activate the Energy of Iman:
1. Belief in Allah → Grants protection from unseen forces and evil.
2. Belief in the Angels → Manifests as inner guidance, or even indirect assistance in moments of despair.
3. Belief in the Divine Scriptures → A deep understanding of divine wisdom becomes a source of unique spiritual strength.
4. Belief in the Prophets → Enables steadfastness through trials and prevents deviation from the truth.
5. Belief in the Last Day → Grants the courage to face dangers without fear of death.
6. Belief in Divine Decree (Qadr) → A source of patience and acceptance of challenges, making one unbreakable in spirit.
This energy shields the soul from negative emotions and, over time, strengthens the body.

Abdullah raised an eyebrow.
— An energy that protects me from negative emotions? Isn't this just pure cheating?
The system chuckled:
[Do you think understanding the situation and making a plan is that easy? There are even stronger "cheat" sources out there — so don't be too surprised.]
