《ONESHOTS》Roses Day Out
Advertisement
Children's giggles and waves of laughter can be heard through the cafe as both run to the section where the flowers are displayed looking over the pretty roses in different hues.
"Alie, Alie wait for meeeee...." - Roseanne
Roseanne shouted before her elder sister being her twin who was older than her by a minute.
"Anne c'mon, it's pretty!"- Rosalie
"Rosalie, Roseanne what did I tell you about running" - Jeff
"Yes Papa!" -Alie/Anne
"Dear, let them it's their day out today" - Bible
"You spoil them too much, they don't listen to me anymore"- Jeff
Jeff grumbled as they sat on the couch to take an order. Today they spent. A day out together since the twins just got out of the hospital a few days ago. Bible was chuckling as he saw Jeff furrowed his brows as Anne was swooning at the roses almost tipping over it luckily Alie was there to support her.
It's been 2 years since they adopted the twins, Alie was energetic and lively while Anne is a meek child, a little sickly at times nevertheless still very adorable.
They already lost hope of adopting kids since being together for 5 years because they couldn't find the perfect child for them, when Jeff came by an orphanage at that time the twins were only 3 years old, he came by Anne first who was crouching down the bed of roses at the backyard. Anne was never up for adoption because of her sickly condition the orphanage decided not to recommend them to Bible and Jeff when they came over naturally twins should not be separated so Alie was out of the question as well. As the process for selection went on the two were waiting in the backyard playing in the garden of roses.

Jeff went around the vicinity to check the garden out when he came by Anne.
The kid in her pink sun dress was poking at the leaves of the roses teary-eyed.
"Hi, there? What are you doing here?"- Jeff
Anne who was wary of strangers look around, clutching her dress.
"It's okay I am a visitor I just came by to look around I won't hurt you" - Jeff
Jeff tried his best to be less daunting flashing his sweet smile. When he felt those little hands grab the hem of his shirt. The sweet teary eyes kid looked at him biting her lips.
"What's wrong sweetie? Are you crying?"- Jeff
Anne shook her head, pointing at the roses.
"Mister, the rose it's going to die. The caterpillar bit holes... *Hick .. " - Anne
She began to cry in small sobs. Oh, how Jeff's heart broke for this poor girl.
"C'mere sweetie, don't worry. The rose is strong like you are it won't die easily. Let's just move the caterpillar to a different place Mmmmm?"- Jeff
"O-okay mister"- Anne
I felt the need to open my arms to her for a hug, as snuggled her pretty little head to my chest. Patting her back to make the poor kid calm down.
"Hey! Bad mister!!! Don't bully Anne!!"- Alie
When I turn around I saw an identical face to Anne's, I was surprised as I looked at both of them.
"Whoa, pretty mister!"-Alie
She was pointing at me.
"Yes, very pretty right?"- Bible
Bible was already in the garden and before I knew I was having tea with Anne and Alie with Bible on the rose garden of the orphanage. As we came to know their circumstances through one of the nuns caring for them it was unfortunate for both kids. I felt so sad for them.

"Dear, what are you thinking?"- Bible
He turned to me as Alie and Anne chattered about the sweets they were eating.
"They are very unfortunate at a young age, Alie seems to be mature and Anne is sickly, Bible why do I feel upset about this" - Jeff
"Jeff, I knew you'd be like this I wouldn't have suggested one for adoption. You are too kind but we just can't do anything about it." - Bible
"Anne was crying, such an innocent kid crying for a rose fearing for its death" - Jeff
He reached my hands and clutched them.
"I knew you were a softie, but this you love the kids mmm?"- Bible
"Bible, babe I don't know if I'll be a good parent" - Jeff
"We'll take time okay, if you want we can just have occasional visits while you make up your mind"- Bible
"What about you dear, I know how much you want to have kids, I'm sorry I couldn't give one to you" - Jeff
"What matters is you, Babe, I'm okay if you're okay. So just take your time, I'll go with whatever decision you want" - Bible
"Pretty mister and Scary mister are in love!" - Alie
"You bratty why am I scary now? You said you liked me a while ago.."- Bible
Bible chased after Alie who was laughing and giggling with Bible.
Then Anne tugged my shirt.
"Will pretty mister love us too, if I hold your hand" - Anne
It sure did melt my heart. A month in and we decided to adopt Alie and Anne. Changing their names to Rosalie and Roseanne of course keeping their old ones.
"Papa a rose for you!"- Roseanne
I was brought out of my musings when Roseanne came and gave me a yellow rose.
"It's your favorite color! Yellow!! Papa, the rose is yellow!"- Roseanne
"Awww thank you Luv, what about dad? Doesn't he get a rose too?"- Jeff
She began to pout.
"Oh what's the matter Luv?"- Jeff
"It's because we couldn't find a black rose, the clerk said they don't have one"- Rosalie
"Oh my come here sweetcheeks!"- Jeff
I hugged them as Bible looked at us dearly smiling. Then I whispered to both of them.
"Why don't you get dad a red rose, I'm sure he will like anything that comes from the both of you" - Jeff
Rosalie reached for Roseanne's hand.
"Come Anne we will find the best rose for Daddy!! Cheer up okay!"- Rosalie
"Okay, we'll be back Papa!"- Roseanne
Both gave me a peck on my cheeks and wandered off.
"I don't see my Dear worrying about being a parent anymore?"- Bible
His arms snaked to my waist as he tugged me closer to him.
"They love you much more than me, pretty mister" - Bible
I chuckled and slapped his arms softly, giving him a peck on his cheek.
"You spoil them rotten I wonder who's being the great parent now?"- Jeff
"I'm happy, Happy I could be with you and the kids." - Jeff
"I know me too"- Bible
He snuggled his head into my hair.
"Stop, we're in public... Scary mister!"- Jeff
I stood up laughing as he was in a scowl I often tease him a lot with that but he was smiling afterward.
"I better check on the kids, Rosalie!! Roseanne!! Don't run!"- Jeff.
Bible contented look at his family never did he imagine what it felt like to be complete. It was warm, it was home the two little roses that made it all complete in the arms of the love of his life. He could never ask for more.

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)
Ever been a god? Well, I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea. Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't my thing. Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope? ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English, the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it. Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thing that came with my other works... Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series. So let's get a shovel and fill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever. And now the disclaimer everyone knows: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

A monologue story about a man who died and was reborn in a new world of mysteries and intrigue. Where monsters and magic are common place and gods are plentiful. The story follows his life as fate conspires to bind him to a path which he will eventually struggle to come to terms with. *** The story is a slow burner inspired by web novels with the main character accounting every action in time.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
