Xiang Yu was perfectly content with his mediocre life on Earth—average job, average apartment, average everything. That is, until he woke up in the legendary World of Cultivation, where martial artists fly through the skies and immortals battle over ancient treasures. There's just one problem: Xiang Yu wants absolutely NONE of that action. Armed with only his wits and a peculiar system that doubles his exp every 24 hours, Xiang Yu has one goal: become powerful enough to live in peace without getting involved in those ridiculous "protagonist" situations. No ancient tombs. No tournament arcs. And for heaven's sake, stay FAR away from anyone named Chen Mo, Lin Feng, or Li Yao—those names practically scream "main character who will drag me into deadly situations!" Starting with strength stats so pathetic he can barely lift a cultivation manual, Xiang Yu must somehow survive long enough for his exponential growth to matter. After all, doubling zero cultivation talent still equals zero... at first. Follow Xiang Yu on his hilarious journey from zero to hero as he desperately tries to stay invisible while his power skyrockets beyond control! Watch as he dodges cultivation tournaments, avoids suspicious elders bearing gifts, and runs the other way whenever someone mentions "ancient inheritance" or "chosen one." Join the adventure of the most reluctant cultivator in history whose only wish is peace and quiet, but whose exponential growth makes him the most terrifying force this cultivation world has ever seen! ————— Discord: https://discord.gg/UA679N6znA Wiki: https://infinite-awakening-my-exp-doubles-everyday.fandom.com/ Update = 2 Chapters Daily

It is no ordinary competition; fighters enter the arena not just with martial prowess but with Divine Marks, supernatural abilities granted by forming contracts with ancient gods, legendary warriors, or forgotten spirits.

Since he was six years old, Adrian Nero has always had a dream. Thanks to his father's influence, he developed a great interest in football at a very young age. He loved the way the game was played, the way a team of eleven players worked together to score as many goals as possible against their opponents while conceding as little as possible, he loved the tactical aspect of the game with teams trying to play to their strengths and their opponent's weaknesses. But more than those, he loved watching the players lift trophies after winning a tournament. That's right, the thing Adrian liked the most about football was lifting trophies. Immersing himself in any game, his favourite teams played, he always felt like he was there celebrating and smiling with them. He loved that feeling. 'I'll really be there one day.' He always thought to himself. Despite his father's love for the game, his parents did not exactly support his dream to become a footballer and preferred him to go to a normal school to study and get a normal job. However, all hope was not lost as his high school was one of the schools that strongly supported having sports activities in their curriculum and it wasn't just for formality's sake. Adrian fought his way through, becoming the captain of the football team as early as the first year of senior high. With his help the team grew to become quite a formidable one and was named as one of the favourites going into the qualifications for the intercontinental highschool tournament, a competition taking place in his last year of highschool and his chance to lift his first trophy. That was when disaster struck. Due to work reasons, Adrian was forced to move back to his home country with his family leaving behind the team he had worked hard to put together. However, he was fortunate enough to find himself in a school eligible to take part in the qualifications for the tournament. Finding out about that, he felt that all hope wasn't lost, a feeling that was soon carried away by the wind. Sino Academy, although possessing a very good and well-maintained pitch alongside the basic equipment, was one that never took sports seriously. In all the times they had participated in the tournament, they had only been able to get through the qualifications once but miserably failed to get through the group stage. This was an event of fifteen years ago. Facing a school with a non-existent team and players that lacked teamwork, coordination and motivation, Adrian couldn't help but feel that his dream was far beyond his reach.

My Own Experience with Recovery from OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS I'm talking about my own contact with Optimistic Hacker Gaius, which I had after being a victim of a bitcoin fraud. Desperate to find a solution, I looked online and discovered iForce Hacker Recovery, who had good evaluations, after losing $740,000 to a fraudulent website. We decided on a 10% fee for their services when I got in touch with them. But when Hacker Gaius only recovered $550,000, everything changed. They insisted on paying the entire 10% fee in spite of this. They insisted on the initial sum even though I offered 5%. When Hacker Gaius threatened to ruin my reputation and divulge my personal information if I didn't comply, the discussion became more heated. I discovered that they had gained access to my personal devices, which included Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and email. Thankfully, I turned to Omega Crypto for assistance, and they were able to safeguard my personal data and remove Optimistic hacker Gaius activity from my devices. I paid the 10% fee to iForce in order to prevent such threats. In order to warn people about the dangers of interacting with hackers, I'm sharing my story.
