Earth's Alpha Prime Chapter 23

It doesn't matter if it was dancing, swimming, boxing or any other sport. As long as it was a physical activity that needs muscle memory, I was able to grasp any technique within a day.
But it was not as simple as learning them instantly by just watching someone performing a particular technique.
I needed to be taught in person, and while teaching me, they had to share their experiences and l couldn't learn something that even the person who teaches me doesn't know.
The extent to which I could learn depended entirely on the skill level of the person that teaches me. Still, I was only able to grasp the techniques at an extreme pace.
I had to train my body like any other person. If I were not physically strong enough, I would be defeated by a person who has the same skill level.
Since my childhood, I picked up a hobby where I request my parents to find a state level or a national level athlete in any sport to teach me for a week.
Even though I was able to learn from them, I would lose If there was a competition between them and me.
Because for every sport, there will be a different physical requirement and targeted pieces of training, and with that, the professionals could bring out their potential in their respective sport.
As long as I learn high-end sports techniques, and if I physically full-fledged train my body to meet the particular requirements of any specific sport, I could even become an Olympic level athlete.
But my goal never was to be competitive because my dream has always been to learn every sport, martial art, playing musical instruments and many other special activities that exist out there.
As I kept on learning these various physical activities, my rational thinking and capacity to keep calm increased without me even realising it.

But still, it can't be compared to the calmness that I experience from being in the full-on emotionless state of .
Memories continued to flash, and the series of devastating events that happened because of the conspiracy against our Enterprise that took place in 2015 appeared within my mind.
It all began in the first week of July, as a car explosion took place when Grandfather was about to get in his car.
If not for the family's Chief of Security, Uncle Aadrik noticing the bomb placed under the car through water reflection and saving my grandfather at the right moment, grandfather wouldn't have made it alive.
But that was not the same for Uncle Aadrik as he protected my grandfather with his own body and most of the shrapnel from the Explosion hit Uncle Aadrik.
My grandfather survived, but he entered a 'Coma' state from brain trauma that was caused by the impact of the explosion.
Uncle Aadrik was our family's Chief of Security for the past 15 years, and I knew him since I was two years old, and all of us treated him as a part of our family.
Uncle Aadrik's son, Rownak, is the same age as me and Rownak's younger sister, Riya is a year younger than us, and we all grew up together since childhood.
Uncle Aadrik's death was heart-rending for all of us and especially for Rownak, Riya and their mother.
In the next few weeks after the Explosion incident, all the minor shareholders in our Enterprise started to sell their shares back to our Enterprise. They took back their percentage of the invested money.
Following the next week, a hacker attack took place, and all the files and transactions of the donations made were erased in our Enterprise servers along with the donation bank transaction details.

The same day of the hacker incident, many fake reports and evidence started to appear in social media. They began that our Enterprise 'Nav-Yuga' feigned giving any donations to the poor, and it caused an uproar.
With that, many of our Enterprise's customers started to sue 'Nav-Yuga' through a class action lawsuit. Tens of thousands of people kept on joining the class action lawsuit against our Enterprise.
During the trial, none of the charities or the individuals who got donations from our Enterprise testified in Court.
Moreover, few of them even testified against us saying that they never received any donations and that our Enterprise threatened them to lie in the court.
With that, we lost the case, and the court-ordered our Enterprise to pay 1.65 Trillion rupees (22.4 Billion dollars) immediately.
After all the things that my Grandfather did to help those in need, charities and the poor, and all his good intentions were met with injustice.
That was the beginning of the downfall as the stocks of our Enterprise went down a clean slope.
After liquifying most of our assets and properties, we were able to pay 1.65 Trillion rupees (22.4 billion dollars), and all that was left was our house and the main headquarters of Nav-Yuga.
After the court incident, most of the customers treated Nav-Yuga as a fraud Enterprise, and sales of our Enterprise reached the bottom.
The rate at which our Enterprise suffered losses, it would take another year to undergo complete bankruptcy.
None of our relatives and family friends helped us when we drifted into dire situations and cut off their ties with us.
That was when I understood the cruelty of the world, and it was also when my ability to trust others fell to rock bottom.
After that, my brother Kay and I investigated, and after digging deeper into the reasons for all the incidents that happened, we found that the vast conspiracy against our Enterprise that was orchestrated by the 4th largest conglomerate Quadnite Inc.
The same conglomerate that was rejected by my grandfather when they tried to buy out our entire Enterprise several times in the past.
But we didn't have legal evidence of the conspiracy to reopen the case, and since our Enterprise businesses were plummeting, we focussed on stabilising the Enterprise.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
