------ 8 Years Later ------
The sun shone over the large windows of the Martin Mansion, no longer situated in Kochi, it has been 5 years since they had moved to Delhi for Prince's progression in cricket. The family company had grown to new heights.
The Martin name was on nearly every building and shop in the city, Bibin had crafted an empire for his family. From bars and nightclubs across the state of Kerela, to Bars, nightclubs, supermarket chains, malls, jewellers, automobile dealerships, airports, Rental Companies, Arcades, Stadiums and even more. The family had gone from rich to uber, mega rich. It was safe to say that the family had over 5,000 different ventures across the country, there was no state that didn't feel the influence of the Martin family empire.
The sun finally had reached a point where Prince could no longer keep his eyes shut, he blinked away the searing heat and sat up looking briefly out the window and to the pool that the family had built in... he checked the clock... only 4:30 AM... clearly he forgot to close his blinds. He fought himself up to a standing position and headed to his en suite bathroom where he went about his business and brushed his teeth making himself presentable before getting into a set of baggy tracksuit bottoms and a black muscle shirt which now hugged, defined and clean cut abs and pectorals, round and flexing shoulder muscles, rolling back muscles and a defined body in general, at sixteen years old, he exuded the presence of a person much older, standing at an impressive 6 foot, not usual for Indians at just sixteen, puberty still coursing through him.
Prince knew this was where his utilisation of the system would matter the most, growing strength, presence, and height means he would be able to grow better... faster. Surely? He glanced at his reflection before curling his hair gently with his hands and mentally speaking to the system.
A screen floated above him now, showing stats...

< Author Here- As you can see he is good, easily one of the best in the under 19 pool... no where near the likes of giants though in the senior team>
Prince quickly pulled up his skills counter...
Body Control (Maxed)
The foundation of all his abilities.
Gives Prince near-perfect control of his muscles, grip, balance, and posture.
Can modulate breathing, steady pulse, and stabilize movements.
Focus Sync (Basic)
Aligns vision and breathing rhythm.
Keeps concentration stable for long periods under match pressure.
Kinetic Mapping (Basic)
Creates a short-term spatial awareness grid in a 10-metre radius.
Helps in fielding, footwork, and predicting ball direction in motion.
Adrenaline Modulation
Controls stress hormones and maintains calm even under extreme tension.
Prevents panic, overexcitement, or fatigue spikes.
Pattern Memory
Memorizes precise motion patterns for batting and bowling.
Allows instant recall of technique — the same movement, same rhythm, every time.
Zone Sync
Temporarily slows Prince's perception of time by almost half.
Makes him see every frame of movement, allowing perfect timing and reaction.
Lasts around fifteen seconds, with a two-day cooldown due to heavy brain load.
Dynamic Growth Accelerator (DGA)
Speeds up the rate at which his muscles adapt and recover.
Converts fatigue into microscopic growth instead of breakdown.
Also enhances learning — the more he trains, the stronger the improvement curve.
Sensory Integration Module (SIM)
A complete body-sense overhaul.
Improves trajectory reading, motion balance, and prediction ability.
Lets Prince feel the air, the ball seam rotation, and the angles of fielders as if mapped directly into his nerves.
Sub-components include:
Ball Trajectory Prediction
Kinetic Awareness Mapping
Neural Focus Lock
As for the store and player specific packages... Prince had been saving up points earned through his sweat blood and tears, too mass purchases these skill passages, "Not yet," he whispered to himself... the selection for the under nineteen squads was just a week ago, and Prince had promised himself to wait until then...
He opened the store to gaze at the skills he would eventually be able to get... if he was selected after a great year playing now for Delhi... there were no hard feelings when he left Century Cricket Club, he still faced the likes of Aru and Rohan in national competitions... With him now playing for Delhi, the last 3 years have been followed by wins in every major national tournament so far.

--------------------------------------------------
Prince eventually rid the system from his brain and trudged down the large and wide steps of the mansion and did laps of the massive grounds, he ran until his body and system felt the need for his recovery system to kick in, ten minutes later he was in the gym, a three hour session of small cardio, intense weight lifting and targeted muscle training and calisthenics, before he sank into the swimming pool and did laps to ease his body and recover from his intense training.
By the time he showered and got into a fresh baggy tracksuit (trend going on here), and this time a large jumper over his bare body, it was about nine in the morning and the small family was situated around a dining table. Prince walked up to his parents and...
His little sister Anna, who was born before they moved to Delhi, when Prince was eight, when he had heard the news of his mother being pregnant with Anna, Prince had already thought that this was different from his previous life as a single child. Maybe, this time, since he wasn't such a disappointment, his parents wanted another child.
Prince sat down and poured himself tea as he greeted his parents, "Ma, Pa, good morning," he ruffled Anna's hair as he sipped his tea to which the six year old did not take kindly, she slapped his hand away pouting.
"Prince don't be so annoying," his mother chided him but he shared a laugh with his father, as he boomed out.
"Oh come on dear wife, older brothers are made for annoying little sisters, oh prince, you're aunty was so fun to annoy when we were children."
The family laughed and breakfast continued before Bibin left for an emergency investor meeting, Anna was taken to her designated room to be home-schooled by Maria, this left Prince alone with the servants.
He trudged the mansion grounds before walking to the nets they had built for Prince's practice, he found gear tucked under the ball machine and instantly padded up and he weighed the bat in his hand before turning the pitching machine on. The first ball, he pulled for a perfect cover drive, well balanced and executed with proper technique. He pulled the next one for what would be a six over mid-on.
Prince spent hours perfecting his batting, then his bowling, until he had to physically sit on the floor gasping for air. A day well-spent in his eyes.
Soon he would know... if he would be selected for the u19 series.
