《Law of God (Book 1)》Chapter Twenty-Seven
Advertisement
"Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and you will keep secret all of the proceedings of the grand jury conducted in your presence? So help you God." Mr. Anderson, the oath said.
Mr. Anderson is a public pledge that a person will perform some action or duty, generally with the promise of doing so truthfully. Mr. Anderson the oath can also be used as a way of promising oneself to support a cause or an entity.
"I solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Mr. Biltmore, the witness of the trial, answered back.
While proceeding during another trial, I sighed, and eventually the trial began. Mr. Biltmore had started being questioned by Mr. Lewis, and Mr. Biltmore sighed, after Mr. Lewis had asked Mr. Biltmore about where he was the night before my client Colson Edwards had murdered his sister, Emelia.
Then Mr. Biltmore started to explain about where he was, he said he was at a hospital visiting his mother, and Mr. Lewis asked another question, he asked Mr. Biltmore did he receive a phone call from my client, and Mr. Baltimore sighed, saying, yes.
I was in the kitchen at home, and I was cooking this time besides ordering take out. I was trying to do better on my budgeting, and saving more money, less spending.
Jacob wanted pizza for dinner tonight, but then I made a homemade pizza instead.
Once I took the pizza out of the oven, Jacob sat at the kitchen counter and I blew the steam off the pizza, laid the pizza on top of a cutting board to keep it from burning the counter.
I sighed, taking off my oven mitts. I asked Jacob what he's up to? Jacob didn't say a word, and he just looked at me. "Are you excited about your field trip tomorrow?" I asked. Jacob shrugged, and I softly smiled, understanding him.

It was a nice evening, currently around 6 o clock. I received a message from Mandy, and I looked at the text. It said that she needs help, and I frowned, confused. I texted her back and Mandy wrote back.
I texted her once again, and still no response. So I gave Mandy a call, and it went to voicemail. I sighed, and I tried calling again. By the second time I called, and the third time I texted Mandy. She still didn't respond back.
I told Jacob that if he'll be okay being home alone, and I couldn't get Mrs. Hutchinson to come over and watch Jacob. She was at a meeting, but then I suddenly had a change of mind to let Jacob stay home alone. So I went to bring him with me to Mandy's house, she only lived fifteen minutes from me.
As I drove onto the highway and I tried calling Mandy once again, it still went through voicemail. I sighed, and I continued to call until she answered. Mandy didn't reply, and it was just a silent sound. As soon as I arrived to Mandy's house, I told Jacob to stay in the car, and I opened the door after unbuckling myself and immediately ran up to the door of Mandy's home.
I rang the doorbell, and knocked, rang the doorbell once again and knocked. "Mandy?" I asked. I noticed her lights were on and I took a peek at the window. I saw Mandy passed out on the floor, and I immediately opened the door, which Mandy must forgot to lock it, and I ran up to her, and tried to wake her up by patting her face, and asking her what's wrong.
Mandy wasn't waking up, I noticed she was bleeding in between her legs. "Oh shoot," I said, freaking out. I pulled out my cell phone and I dialed for help. After I explained to the operator what the emergency was, I continued trying to wake Mandy up and she was severely bleeding. "Mandy, come on, wake up," I said. I then told the operator what Mandy's address was. I was trying to remain calm.

Until a few minutes later, the an ambulance arrived and the paramedics bought the stretcher inside the house. "How long has she been like this?" One paramedic asked, I shrugged, not knowing. So the paramedics helped put Mandy on the stretcher and they rushed her into the ambulance.
I immediately got into my car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Mandy needed emergency surgery. I was waiting in the waiting room with Jacob, and I was doing my best to not worry.
I sighed, until the doctor came into the waiting room, and he saw me waiting. I looked up at the doctor, immediately stood up from my chair and as I walked up to the doctor, asking how Mandy was doing in a furious tone of voice. Dr. Ronem said to me that Mandy had suffered a miscarriage, thinking that she was my wife. I was just stunned, and I couldn't even believe it.
Dr. Ronem showed me the way to Mandy's room. When I walked in, I saw her lying on the hospital bed, with an IV in her hand, an ID bracelet around her wrist, she had a nasal cannula in her nose to help her breathe, and had on a hospital gown. I sighed, walking up to her, and Mandy's eyes were closed. I didn't even know my girlfriend was pregnant.
I was thinking maybe Mandy was raped, and kept it a secret from me. I pulled out a rolling chair and sat next to Mandy, and held her hand. She looked pale as snow, and her hand was severely cold.
It took a day for Mandy to wake up, and I stayed at the hospital the whole time. Jacob was with me in the room, and I couldn't stop thinking about the fact Mandy had a miscarriage.
Until Mandy started moaning, and her eyes were slowly opening. I heard her making sounds, and I softly tried to call her name and Mandy noticed me. Mandy then asked me what happened in confusion.
I took a deep breath and sighed. I held her hand once again, and I told Mandy she suffered a miscarriage.
Mandy was still confused, I could hear the machines beeping, and Mandy just looks at me like she didn't know what I was talking about. I sighed, and I told Mandy once again that she lost a baby.
Mandy then started crying, and she didn't know how in the world she ended up being pregnant. She's not married and Mandy explained to me that she's on birth control. I asked Mandy if it was possible she was raped. Mandy then continued crying, and was freaking out. I shushed Mandy nicely, and I was doing my best comforting her. As Mandy was recovering in the hospital, I tried to explain to Mandy that she needs to tell the police that she's been sexually abused.
But Mandy didn't agree. She would think that the police wouldn't believe it. I sighed, and I told Mandy that she must. Mandy then continued to cry, and Mandy and I were just stunned the whole time.

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.

Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.
