《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 180: A Marathon to Enter History 1
Advertisement
So the system was forced to change its prediction again before it was a year of normal training and with the help of the third job and the stamina bar Jake could win a marathon.
This went to in a year of extreme training as Jake was doing he could increase his stamina and with the help of the third job and without the stamina bar he could win with his own marathon effort.
But Jake did not seem to be satisfied with that and managed to lessen that estimate in 4 months, the reason for this beyond Jake's dedication every day in training was because Jake's pride to always be honest made his potential mature faster.
So his training was several times more effective and he managed to protect his pride, it was the same that happened when the Elite team was losing in the final minutes of the fourth period of the national championship final.
In that game, his team was playing very badly and Jake had to try to take the team to victory alone, in that game Jake exceeded his limit several times and managed to lead the team to victory, this time Jake again broke his limits and managed to improve.
After that Jake rested happily at home, even if Jake had a mentality of more than 40 years his body was still that of a teenager and Jake was always looking to do something new.
He had to take responsibility indicating to Matthew's company that they would go bankrupt if they did not switch to the digital camera, even though Jake knows the things of the future does not change the fact that trying to advise a company of more than 300 million to move to another product is difficult.
Jake has also never ceased struggling every day in training his basketball skills; in addition, he has always taken on the responsibility of being the captain and main player of the team.
Jake also had several sponsorship contracts that totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars all month, he had to play well and take care of his image so as not to harm these companies.
Jake also had hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment which was very stressful, even knowing that this business is sure to work.
Jake was now trying something much more difficult and important, which is to fulfill his dream of running in a competition, he had to train for months to get to that point.
And Jake still had an even bigger goal that was to win several gold medals in the Olympics, he wanted to represent his country and hear the national anthem playing from the top of the podium.

Jake was doing all of this at the age of 16 and would continue to try harder and more, just the goal of being the best basketball player in the NBA is already a goal that many have fought for a lifetime, and it is an honor for all life.
After a few days Emily finally showed up with the reports Jake had requested, he knew it was difficult to do without the help of a computer, but Jake had asked Emily months ago so he hoped she had more than enough time to organize everything.
As Jake looked at the reports that were more or less what he remembered the company's growth in the stock market, Jake was afraid he might have influenced a bit about it, but it seemed that not.
"It took me a while to get the reports because I've always been correcting the data with the stock market update."
It seems she had noticed that Jake was a little dissatisfied with the delay, but that was not why Jake was really busy over the last few weeks, he wanted to have those reports to have the confidence to increase his investment.
And in the stock market as soon as you made your investment more could give profits in a good phase as was the company Cisco in the stock market, Jake was very pleased also to see that he had the cash to receive dividends from the company stock.
So he would have to invest less money from outside and could use his own stock yield, Jake had invested $ 250,000 in 1992, now in 1995 that figure had multiplied by 5, but that could not leave Jake happier.
Because as he had no way to invest much in that time did not yield much profit, his actions which were money he did not move in 3 years was far less than he could win in a year of sponsorship.
But if someone like Matthew or Tiffany and Clara had invested a few million would already have made a few million profits, but now Jake was also thinking of investing too much every year to have more in a few years.
But Jake did not want to invest everything he had because he had other plans to make with the money, Jake had bought more than 6200 shares in 1992 with 250 thousand dollars, now he had 25 thousand shares I am worth a million and 250 thousand dollars.
In those 3 years, he got almost 100 thousand dollars with dividends received for his actions, so he wanted to buy another 910 thousand dollars in shares that give more than 18 thousand shares, so he would have more than 43 thousand shares.

Now he could use the dividend money to not have to spend all the money he had put together that year of sponsorship after buying the restaurant for Eva and also the car for him, now Jake still had close to $ 200,000 that would be used for other investment.
So Jake told Emily to invest the $ 910,000 in stock and after she'd do it that she'd report everything to him, so Jake would have something else he wanted Emily to do in the next few weeks.
Emily was very impressed with Jake because of these actions, after all, he was only thirteen when he made that first investment, even the great stock analysts thought that investing in tech companies was risky.
Emily knew that Jake was investing everything he had and that his family was not rich and could risk losing that money if she were not just Jake's assistant and lawyer in charge of making the investments she would have advised him to withdraw that amount investment while he had a profit.
But time showed that she was wrong and stock values kept rising, so when Jake told her that she wanted to see the investment report of the past few years she thought Jake would sell his shares and stay with the profit.
But Jake looked like he'd never thought of doing this and invested almost the value he'd invested before, a few weeks ago Emily had made a meeting with Oliver, Matthew, and his father and they talked about a lot of things.
But one of the subjects that were most talked about was Jake, the four people were one of the few who knew that Jake had made that investment, at that meeting when she said that the actions had valued in 5 times Matthew and Emily's father said they repented of not investing a few million.
After all, they would have a 5 times valuation in the stock, but this time Jake was investing again and Emily was sure that her father and Matthew still would not have the courage to invest in these actions, now she had to see if Jake would be right again.
After a few days if he spoke with Emily Jake passed in the restaurant to talk to his mother and Anna, the two congratulated Jake again for being in another regional championship final.
Since they were always very busy and could not talk to Jake for long, Jake had come a few times a week in the restaurant so as not to bother the two in the restaurant, the business was going well as always with the always crowded reservations.
So Jake talked to Lola for a while, but now it was dinner time, and everyone who had made reservations had already arrived so Lola as a receptionist was free for the time being.
After talking for a while Jake went home to rest, it would soon be the game of the regional championship final, even if it should not be a game harder than the game the semifinal that opponents were at the level of the national championship, would still be a game with more pressure for being the final.
The team was still training a lot to correct the mistakes in the style of game that happened in the last game, it was not much because the team managed to attack well in the game and did not waste many attacks which is important.
As the game started to slip away, Mark and Carter were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. Jake tried to focus their attacks down the middle. However, Jake did not manage to connect with it, as his teammates had hoped, and the ball went out.
So much so that when Nathan and Lucas entered the game Elite team defense had improved a lot and the opponents did not have much more space to attack, yet Coach Mike had more confidence in David and Harrison for important games like that.
Jake agreed in parts with this, they managed to win last year with much more difficulties than that year, while Mark and Carter are playing well in defense and David and Harrison play well in the attack the team can be a winner as always.
In addition, Nathan and Lucas were very skillful but they too were very young and so the coach was afraid that they could not withstand the pressure of playing in an important game, as reserves whenever the team needed they could play.
With just a few days left for the regional championship final, Matthew called Jake saying he was going to go to the company, Jake had already been warned by Oliver and so knew that it should be the new digital camera that was being produced.
So Jake was a bit nervous at the moment, after all, if the camera was bad the company would not be completely free of the risk of bankruptcy, Jake went to Matthew's company expecting the first digital camera to be a success.

The Infinity Islands
I was just supposed to be a normal guy! I was about to graduate from my normal university with my normal English degree, about to begin my first foray out into the real world. But somehow, I had ended up worlds away instead. Far, far away from home, in a world that should have been just like mine, running and fighting for my life in a war I didn't understand. None of us knew why or how we were there or what we were ultimately supposed to accomplish. But that didn't really matter, did it? In my new world, there was only one rule: survive! --- Hey all, I'm Ken, and this is my first time sharing a story online. This story is heavily inspired by Terror Infinity, if it wasn't obvious from the title. I've been interested in making a Terror Infinity story for a while now, but I have a lot of problems with its system and mechanics, so I decided to just make my own system instead of trying to adapt to that one. If you find any mistakes, typos, or awkward phrasing please let me know in the comments so I can fix it! I hope everyone can enjoy this story but, even if you don't, please let me know why and what you think I can do to improve. Thank you. (The original picture for the cover can be found here)

Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
