One Page From Pdf Novels & Stories

I pulled out the first stack of bound reports and started reading by candlelight. Nothing. Trade agreements, border disputes, none of it useful. I pulled a second stack, then a third, working through letters with broken seals and ledgers that meant nothing to me now. An hour passed. Then two. My eyes ached from the candlelight, and more than once I nearly put the whole cabinet back and told myself the seal meant nothing at all. I almost missed the last folder, tucked flat against the back panel like someone had wanted it overlooked. Inside, a single page, half burned at the corner, the ink faded but legible.

“What?” Lila asked. He held up the metal fastener running through the papers. “There are gaps.” Vanessa leaned closer. “What do you mean?” “See these marks?” He pointed to tiny tears near the punched holes. “Someone removed pages.” Silence. Vanessa immediately checked the file index. Her eyes widened. “He’s right.” “There should be forty-three pages.” She counted the papers. “Thirty-eight.” Five pages were missing. Lila’s pulse quickened. “What kind of pages?”

He reaches for another folder, then his phone rings. He looks at the screen. "I need to take this." "Business?" "Unfortunately." He stands. "I'll be back." "I'll survive." "I know you will." After he leaves, I continue sorting through the remaining files. Most of it is routine, nothing unusual until one folder feels thinner than it should. I frown. The pages are numbered. Page three, page four then page six. I blink. "Where's page five?" I flip through the folder again, slowly and more carefully this time. The paper between pages four and six has been torn out.

Could you please tell me why I cannot read the next page or any other page? [Host has understood 1% of the content of the First Page] [The Second Page will be accessible after the Host gains 100% on the first page] You!! AGGHH! Why aren't you letting me be overpowered! [I've overpowered the host enough. Get to work!] As I thought of destroying the book, I became furious, but I calmed down immediately. Relax, it's nothing to worry about. There is no free meal available. I got a gist of how the book works, the reader moves onto the next page once they have understood 100% of that page.

“Did you read everything?” “In one hour? Yes, sir.” confidence laced her voice. Attention to the smaller details was Fiona’s specialty. This was the only reason why she survived in her ‘part time’ job. “These are—” His gaze darted towards the stack of paper in front of him. “A total of seventy pages. Twenty pages of research and graphs. I read everything.” In the first place, today was her first day at the job. It was only right that she… showed off, right? “There is something wrong in the procurement, page twenty-seven.”

I murmured to myself. A few pages of paper that were stapled together fell out and landed on the floor right at my feet. I closed my eyes and sighed before bending down to pick it up. The paper looked old and felt quite fragile from aging in my hand when I picked it up. My eyes landed on the first page and my eyes widened at the content on the page. I sucked in a breath before quickly turning to the next page and then the next as my eyes hungrily took in everything that was written and printed on the page. Why is this here?

She knew that hidden within these seemingly ordinary documents might be critical information, and she was the one who could unravel the mystery. Alicia carefully removed the first document, a thick company financial report. The paper was slightly yellowed from long-term storage, but was still in good condition. She quickly flipped through the pages, her eyes scanning the pages at an astonishing speed. Every number, every data point, was firmly etched in her superb memory.

I still have a few months of my Luna training. I still have a lot to learn but I am pretty confident in my abilities and I know it will get easier with time. My phone buzzed and I checked. I smiled when I saw that Hillan texted me. “Here is the p*f of what I told you about. Will bring the physical copy when I visit.” His text read. I downloaded the file and clicked on it. My eyes widened when I saw that it had four thousand pages. Four freaking thousand. That’s a lot of pages to read. I quickly texted back a thank you and clicked the file again.
