The Last Embrace Chapter 294
Advertisement
That night, Jessy was resting in her bed after finishing four blood transfusions, one more to go and she will be able to finish a total of five blood transfusions for the day, not bad.
She just had dinner with her mother in the canteen, and she also finished downloading six lotto draw videos, including the actual draw footage.
She has been staring at the lotto balls, the way they rise and fall and many of them failed to reach the opening where the winning numbers will suppose to pop up. Then it happened, one of the balls shoot up...then another...and the rest follows....completing the 6 winning numbers.
That's kind of mesmerizing how did it happen? It happened so fast!
So, how can she exploit or manipulate those lotto balls?
Hmm, she can freeze the rest allowing 6 numbers to float...it's easy...but she needs to buy one winning ticket first and gave it to Olivia for safekeeping. And the lotto balls that contain the same number on Olivia's ticket must be the balls that need to win.
Then another problem will occur...
The Lotto Chairperson is the one who will choose which attache case is going to be used for the draw that night, each of those attache cases contains the lotto balls needed for the draw. The problem is, she can't enter the mind of that Chairperson to know exactly what specific attache case she will be picking up for that night.
The only way to ensure Olivia's number will win is to get inside that room where the attache cases were being kept. Then tamper all the lotto balls somehow, allowing only Olivia's number to come out on that lotto machine, hmm...that would be easy peasy.
Getting inside that room...isn't hard.
Tampering the balls, manipulating them is a bit blurry as of this moment because she can't use the freezing technique because it's a live draw where millions of people are watching on their television sets.

Freezing the other lotto balls during the live draw is not feasible!
Freezing the lotto balls, or tampering those balls before the live draw is the only way to ensure 100% winnings!
Well, she could go inside that room, freeze the cameras then work on each attache case one by one and manipulate all the balls...like putting some glue on the balls bottoms so that they won't move inside the transparent box, and only those balls that have no glue will shoot up to the top and become the winning numbers. But there is a problem with the glue technique because the Chairperson has to remove all the balls from the attache case and put it all in the transparent box and the manipulation will be discovered in no time, lol, such an epic fail!
Hahahaha, Jessy laughed aloud alone in her room, amused by her silliness.
She kept watching the video, unfortunately, her mind was no longer cooperating with her, it wasn't suggesting her any solution to her dilemma.
Her two hours break went by quickly.
She reluctantly gets out of the room and went to the clinic to finish the last blood transfusion for the night.
~~~o0o~~~
After the blood transfusion ended, Jessy went back to her room and turn on her lappy to play the lotto videos again, she was getting obsessed with it, trying to think of a perfect idea on how to win the lotto flawlessly?
After a few minutes of watching the videos, she entered the bathroom to have a shower and changed into her pajamas to rest for the night, she left her lappy to continue playing the lotto draw videos.
While she was inside the bathroom taking her shower.
Adam suddenly arrived in her room.
He went to her bed and watched the video playing on the laptop. It's just some lotto draw, he ignored the video and lies down on the bed, he already heard the sound of water in the shower, he waited for Jessy to come out of the bathroom. While waiting, he turns his attention to the video and watches how the lotto was drawn.

"Interesting!" Adam said to himself. If he will go broke one day, he can always buy a lotto ticket and win every draw, that would be abusing his powers, he muses. But that might not happen at all in this lifetime. Because he can always earn money the legit way without resorting to abusing his power and manipulate the result to his advantage.
He continues watching the lotto draw video, amazed how it's easy for the machine to pop up winning numbers effortlessly. But then in every draw, it's seldom that many people can win, most of the time only one, two or three emerged as the winners.
A few minutes later.
Jessy came out of the bathroom already wearing her pajama, she grinned from ear to ear after she spotted her beloved Adam sprawled on her bed like an elephant having nap time.
"Having fun inside the shower?" asked Adam.
Jessy grinned. "This lotto videos here kept me in the shower for a longer time," she said pointing at the videos.
Adam's eyebrows knitted together. "Huh? Why? Are you planning to buy a lotto ticket and wants to win the jackpot?" he asked, a smirk appeared on his lips.
"Yeah, you guess it right! The truth is, it's very difficult to win the lotto jackpot. The only way to win is to sabotage the live draw silently... but until now I still can't think of a better way how to do it without jeopardizing the whole live draw," Jessy smiled wryly.
Adam watched the video again, he was silent for a few minutes, concentrating to find a loophole on the live draw. Now that he sees it, it does look easy at first because he was thinking using his power a few minutes earlier that's why he thought he had the advantage but it's getting harder every second...how to execute the manipulation without interrupting the live draw?
He scratches his jaw in amazement.
Jessy climbs in the bed and looked at him in the eyes. "Do you have any idea how to do it? I will just buy a lotto ticket, then I want my number to win the jackpot, how to do it?"
They stared into each other's eyes, ideas were flashing in their minds.
Jessy rises from the bed, picked up a pen and paper from the drawer of her table and began listing the ideas they can come up with.
"Okay, let's write our ideas in the paper so that we can round them all together and chose the best way to beat the lotto system," she said excitedly. She always believes that two heads are better than one.
Adam becomes silent while gazing at his girlfriend's animated face. "Jess, you don't have to waste your time with these videos, just tell me how much money you want I can give you that amount. I do have huge money accumulated in my bank account through my modeling engagements, I would be happy to share them with you," he said seriously.

Conquest of Avalon
Revenge. The Kingdom of Avalon swept across the Empire of the Fox a generation past, conquering the heartlands and leaving the broken remnants to stew in the island duchy of Guerron. This isn't a story of Good versus Evil, of kindly kings doing their best to lift all subjects, or of unvarnished heroes doing battle against evil. Instead, this story is about power: who has it, who wants it, and what people will do to obtain it. It is about the violence inherent in the imperial project and how even the most well-intentioned rulers and conquerors are, still, engaging in systemic violence against those conquered and defeated. Our three point-of-view characters are a peasant turned fire wizard, an excitable duelist with more enthusiasm than sense, and a scheming mage-priestess bent on reclaiming her family's birthright and waging war on the foreign oppressors who rule her home... no matter the cost in blood or treasure.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
