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.

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
