《The Riddler's Handbook: "Lorem Ipsum"》Bagging Marbles
Advertisement
Today, the King was having another discussion. However, he was not speaking with Knight but with Jester. He said, “Jester, I have a problem only you can solve.” Jester was filled with excitement and eagerly awaited his next sentence. “I have a 231 marbles.” The King continued, “and I want to put them in bags. However, I want to be as inefficient as possible and use the greatest numbers of bags possible. There must be at least one marble per bag and no two bags can have the same amount of marbles.” He then reached behind his throne and pulled out a huge bag of marbles. “Here are the marbles.” He said as he handed them to Jester.
“Thank you your majesty,” Jester replied as he slung the bag over his shoulder. “Excuse me, I will solve this riddle in my office. I will bring back the exact amount of bags you need.” He happily said as he walked towards the main throne room doors. “Oh hi Knight!” He shouted as Knight walked in. “Hello Jester,” Knight replied as he watch Jester leave and closed the doors.
After the main doors were sufficiently locked, Knight kneeled in front of the King and said, “Your majesty, about yesterday’s discussion.”
“Ah yes, Dragon riding was it? If the Benson Brothers and the young dragons could grow up together, that would be splendid. Please call in Father Benson. This is a something we must discuss together. Maybe we can all ride together.”
--------------------------------------------
As the King, Father Benson, and Knight prepared to meet with the Elder Dragon and his family, Jester was running around town, from store to store and buying bags. This is not enough. I need more bags! He thought. How many bags does Jester need?

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
