CHAPTER 22: Conspiracy
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.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
