《The Riddler's Handbook: "Lorem Ipsum"》A Great Number of Eggs
Advertisement
This morning, Knight had to oversee a delivery of eggs. He had the exact amount of eggs written down on his checklist but he wanted to make sure that this number was true. So he walked up to the merchant and said “Excuse me, but how many eggs are you delivering this morning?”
The merchant scrunched his eyebrows trying to remember but sighed, “I am sorry sir knight but I do not remember the exact amount. However, I did write this note for myself.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a wrinkled note. It said...
When the number of eggs is divided by 2, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 3, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 4, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 5, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 6, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 7, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 8, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 9, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 10, one egg is left over.
When the number of eggs is divided by 11, no eggs are left over.
The exact amount of eggs is the smallest number that meets the above requirements.
Knight looked at his checklist and nodded. “Alright! It matches.” He said to the merchant. “Pleasure doing business.” The merchant said as he left. What number was on Knight’s checklist?

Apocalypse at Mighty Max
God sold us out and the world ended... well, sort of. God may have sold us, or at least, our universe but our world didn't end. Instead, the new owners decided to play, and we all know what that means: Monsters, a System, Magic, Cultivation, and, of course, two new moons! Thanks for reading! I appreciate the interest. This is a rough draft and is intended to flesh out some ideas for a novel that I had. Maybe figure out if I want to do this author thing, you know? If you want immediately OP MCs, fights every chapter, a harem, this is not the story for you. Sorry about that. If you're willing to put up with a long growth curve, an MC that doesn't know what he's doing most of the time but is trying his best both to survive and to help his friends survive, you might enjoy the story. I'm just trying to have fun, maybe create something that in a second draft I can sell on the eBook market. If you're not into that, not into providing helpful comments for revisions, hey, that's cool, but do us both a favor and stop reading now. ** Oh, release schedule For the first weeks, I'll be releasing a chapter (1800-3000 words) a day. Following that, I'll be releasing whenever the mood strikes me. If I get some feedback, the mood might strike me more often, hint! hint!

As he ponders its meaning, he is approached by Nechama Davila, a young Israeli archaeologist who believes Peter and his father harbor information about a stolen artifact of immense importance.

Dragged out of semi-retirement to investigate, Brisling returns to the CDC in Atlanta, where he confronts his tragic past and a looming viral outbreak beyond his wildest fears.

This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read on WP!" -- @linahanson, Wattpad Ambassador"Intelligent, mysterious, beautifully written ..." -- @Megerah111"Very Dan Brown like ...

RELINQUISH
Sometimes I wonder why the world isn't decorated with something as cool as magic... Why can't we manipulate the laws of the world? Why does the story about God sound too fake to be believed? Why the hope for this world to be saved from the bottom of everyone's heart can never be fulfilled... Then I landed on each conclusion from each of those questions... That humans are the most cunning, meanest and stupidest creatures who are most desperately expected to not have any power including magic itself. That it is not God that we should believe in, because they themselves do not believe in how disgusting human nature really is. That everyone's hope is not for the world to be saved, but for the world to be destroyed in order to save their own selves. That the world from the beginning, was not meant to be saved... (I frequently revise and update the use of sentences in the previous chapters without disturbing the original storyline. so sometimes it takes me a little longer to publish a new chapter.) I have the same novel posted on another website (Webnovel.com , creativenovels.com) with the same name (RELINQUISH)
