《The Third Word》Chapter 34

"The boy...behind you...He's so pretty!"
said in excitement. (Recap)
I turned back to see who she was calling pretty but I just saw a few nurses and some people sitting on the chairs but no 'pretty boy.'
"Oh Kelly! Please don't leave my cabin just like that-" A woman came running and bent in front of the little girl. The woman was wearing a doctor's coat.
"I'm so sorry. I left the door open and she sneaked out. I'm her psychiatrist. She's a very imaginative kid so please don't believe what she said." The woman told me.
"That's not a problem. Nice to meet you. I'm Gwen Smith." I said and shook hands with her.
"I'm Marie Frost and my office is right there." She said, pointing towards a room few doors away from dad's ward.
"May I ask...what did Kelly say?" She asked hesitantly.
"She said there was a boy behind me and called him pretty. But apparently there wasn't anyone." I answered.
" I see. I need to work a lot on her. If you could please excuse us?" She asked.
"Sure. Bye Ms Frost?"
"Yeah I'm...single. But I'm getting married next month." She smiled brightly.
"Congratulations." I said and Ms Frost took Kelly along with her to her office.
Mom's coffee!
I hurried to the elevator, got mom's coffee and returned back in the elevator.
Right when I walked past Ms. Frost's office, I heard a very familiar voice of a man.
"I want to know something regarding 'The Miler's Suicide' case." The man asked.
"Oh, what makes you think I have some information?" I heard Ms Frost.
"Because he frequently visited this hospital for counselling sessions." He answered.
"I'm a psychiatrist, not a counsellor."

"Of course, I'm a detective by profession and I'm educated enough to know the difference." He said," Where is the counsellor?"
That's...Mr. Richard Cooper, the detective who had visited our school. It's the same gruff yet smooth voice with a mix of American and British accent. Wasn't the investigation closed? Why is he still investigating about Ethan's case?
"The counsellor quit her job last month." Ms Frost answered.
I moved a little close to the door to hear clearly.
"Has it got something to do wi-"
"Certainly not. As I mentioned, it was last month and this incident happened recently." Ms Frost said,"Kelly, don't eat those pens!"
I heard Kelly giggle while Ms Frost sighed,"Please leave. I have more important work."
"Then, thank you very much."
I immediately started walking as Mr. Cooper was about to come out. I went straight to dad's ward before Mr. Cooper could see me. Even if he did, he wouldn't recognise me instantly.

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.

Blood Blue
Mayevil is a renowned assassin who is known to complete any mission without fault. A hybrid that is ostracized by each of her respective halves. To her peers, she is an enigma as distant as she is powerful, a person they cannot hope to understand or relate to. Yet, while this is how they see her, the reality is that she is simply confused. Without a greater sense of purpose, her day-to-day life repeats itself over and over again. In the hope that she will eventually find joy or meaning, she continues, without so much as understanding why, as much as why not. Encountering noble vampires, powerful martial artists, and haughty mages all the while, her journey will prove to be a difficult one. This story is inspired by the works of Kinoku Nasu, and various martial arts-oriented stories such as Kengan Ashura and The Raid. Expect a mix of magic, comedy and fight scenes, with a sprawling fantastical world. As a side note, while the story starts off relatively tame, there may be some less than wholesome things that happen later on, so do be warned! Hello!
