This is a dark piece which has a lot going for it.
As everyone has said, the kick isn't as good as the rest of the track and it does eat into some of the head room so I would look at maybe filtering out some of the unwanted frequencies.
It's a very top heavy track and needs a bit more work on basslines. Perhaps work in a complementing bassline that weaves around the melody.
There are a few moments in the track when I feel that the pads need a bit more to give it a sense of depth. Not too keen on the pad sound as it is but it could be complemented by another pad and perhaps get a bit adventurous with the panning. At the moment the track seems very compact.
The tempo is perhaps a little high for my tastes but that's a question of preference and isn't a big issue.
Overall a good job and definately deserves a listen.
With regards to learning how to master, at this stage I would focus more on the balance of your EQs and so on. Learning what frequencies eat up valuable head room and see what you can get rid of without loosing sound quality and so on.
What I like about this is that you have written a track that sounds different and isn't too bothered by what other people are doing on the scene, but that's the beauty of writing your own music.
Cheers
