《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
For the first time in her career,Judge Baek was thinking of calling in a personal favor.She had a few friends who were in the police department and the medical field.She needed some answers faster.The recess was going to end soon and she hated to leave the decision hanging for the next session.
Picking up her phone she called a number and the phone was answered with a curt,"Hello."
"Hello Commissioner Mo.This is Baek Song calling.How are you?"
The answering voice warmed incredibly and answered,"Judge Baek!I am doing really well.How are you doing?Are you on leave today and not in court?"
Judge Baek answered the questions with a smile and then proceeded with her request,"Commissioner Mo,today I am calling you to ask for a favor.I need details of a person's medical records but I don't know which hospital to look in on.Can you help with that?"
"Of course I can.Tell me the name of the person and I'll call you back with all the information.But I expect that you will let me win the next round of poker when we play..."
"Of course I will.The person I want to know about is Ru Long.His medical history for the last 4 years.He is the son of Ryu Long of Lance Inc."
Sputtering sound..."Ryu Long...Judge Baek...you don't ask for simple favors,do you?I hope it is nothing serious..It wouldn't be wise to offend him..."
Judge Baek smirked and asked,"You need to work hard to win the poker round."
She kept down the phone and after interlocking her fingers on the desk leaned back and closed her eyes.Her hands were tied due to the system.Even if there was a grain of truth in the boy's words,she would not be able to protect him totally.She was being pressurized and threatened from the higher ups to rule in the mother's favor.The fact that Ryu Long had still not tried to use his power made her more inclined to rule in his favor.She was aware of the man's clean reputation and how he did not accept any favors so he was not obligated towards anyone.But her career was being threatened.She was at the end of her service and if now she was framed then all her life's work would be waste.On one side of the scale was her past and the other held a child's future.Her decision and conscious was clear but the execution was difficult...Her musings were interrupted by the shrill tone of the table phone.

"I have e mailed you the child's medical reports from 2 years ago.That is the only hospital record he has other than the normal vaccines.What more I am also going to connect you to a Paeditrician who can explain the report.He is calling you now. And you be prepared to lose this weekend!Bye!"
He had hanged up before she could thank him.She opened the email and answered the phone which was ringing on her desk.
As she discussed the reports,they discovered that the reports had been tampered with.The diagnosis read simple food poisoning but when you studied the medicines used it indicated a much more severe poisoning.The child's internal organs had been harmed and even after the stomach had been pumped and poison removed,the child had slipped into a coma for a few days.His brain had slipped into shock and the child had been saved with great difficulty and it was considered a miracle.After putting down the phone,Judge Baek's face was red with anger and even Dr Wen,who had been a part of the discussion had understood the situation enough.They had reached two conclusions.One that,Ru Long had been harmed by his mother and this had led to the break up of his parents' marriage.And the second that the little child may be suffering from PTSD.

Palus Somni
It is the final days after the end of the world and you only have one month left before the last sanctuary erupts into chaos. There's a dead body hanging from a tree and cadaverous giants watch you sleep at night. The end is already here, you just don't know it yet. Now rated in the top 3% of all novels on Royal Road! Palus Somni (‘Marsh of Sleep’) is a worldbuilding webnovel about what happens when your God forsakes you. Inspired by gothic horror and mingled with British myth and folklore, join the Alucinari nuns as they struggle with day-to-day life after the world has ended. Every night when the sun sets the monstrous Gol, colossal beings with too many teeth, awaken and roam the marshlands. Only those with a faithful heart will be spared. Young acolyte Wille has never seen the walls fail, but when a fellow nun is murdered within their sanctum the very safety of the monastery is thrown into question. Did the Gol find a way to breach their defences, or is there a human traitor amongst them? The answer lies both far in the past and deep beneath the earth, through the maze of ancient catacombs. With a cast of over thirty different characters, watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness at the hands of a callous and unforgiving world. Discover the secrets of Palus Somni through letters, diary entries and notes found scattered across the monastery. Uncover the mystery of the grotesque giants that stalk the night and bring your challenge to the Gods themselves. Each character has their own handmade pixel art, and every update includes a music recommendation for a dark atmospheric dungeon synth album that you can listen to while you read. Slice of life meets cosmic abomination: Palus Somni is a collection of intertwining stories, some chapters are stand-alone tales while others feed into the overarching narrative. It is an exploration into a community, and rather than focusing on any one character the story meanders through the convent, exposing the hopes and fears of its inhabitants. Story updates every full moon.

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
