Benedict Society

On the day of the SAT exam, my girlfriend’s childhood friend, Benedict Casper, forgot his admission ticket at home. She insisted on retrieving it for him, but I begged her not to go. In the end, Benedict missed his final chance for taking the exam and, overwhelmed by despair, he jumped to his death. Years later, my girlfriend, Ella Simpson, and I graduated from Whitmore Institute of Technology, landed high-paying jobs, and built a picture-perfect marriage. But on the anniversary of Benedict’s death, she stabbed me repeatedly, her voice trembling with rage, “You killed him. If I’d gotten his admission ticket, he would’ve never jumped.” When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the exams. Ella’s frantic voice rang in my ears, “I have to go back, Dominic. I need to get Benedict’s ticket!” This time, I smiled and said, “Go ahead. Be careful on the way.”

Akhirnya, pada kunjungan ke-60, aku melihat tunanganku keluar dari kamar Diana dan kabar baik pun datang. Akhirnya Diana hamil. Namun bersamaan dengan itu, Keluarga Liander mengumumkan bahwa Benedict dan Diana akan menikah. “Ibu, ada yang mau menikah di rumah?” Aku memandang ruangan yang dihias dengan meriah oleh penyelenggara pernikahan, lalu dengan dingin menggendong anakku yang polos, menjawab, “Iya, ayahmu akan menikah dengan orang yang dia cintai.

Bukan perkara yang mudah menerima seorang wanita yang disodorkan kepadamu hanya karena terlalu lama sendiri! Tidak masuk akal! "Begitulah, mau dikatakan apa? Nasibmu memang sejelek itu, mengadulah pada Tuhan." Benedict mendecih, ia menggeleng mendengar kalimat terakhir Cathy, ia tidak percaya Tuhan. Juga tidak percaya dengan keputusan keluarga besarnya yang menjodohkannya dengan wanita keturunan budak, alias miskin. "Selain sifatmu yang arogan, ternyata kau juga banyak omong."

A decade of planning culminates in a nearly bloodless coup in the Kingdom of Aleghor. King Benedict takes the throne with the intention of eradicating the corruption which was synonymous with the rule and name of his predecessor, King Atomas. It is a task that proves to be harder than overthrowing the kingdom itself and while Benedict sometimes compromises his values while acting with the best intentions, his actions will take their toll on himself and those who support him. When loyalties start to fall into question and control starts to slip away from Benedict, how far will he go to ensure the survival of his dream to eradicate the corruption and bring peace to all men in the kingdom? How far and long will the loyalty and love of his supporters last? This fantasy is set in a city against the backdrop of a city similar to Pompeii and the volcano, Vesuvius. A character similar to Samson in the bible helps to create an epic fantasy story including romance and tragedy. With the events similar to the life of Samson described in this novel, do not expect this story to be religious. It isn't. It is also only one part of the overall story. It is also not a retelling of the end of Pompeii.

You’re worth nothing more than a couple of dollars!” I picked myself up, dusted off my dress, and handed him an invitation. “You know, Benedict, the Bradfords have another heir. “And shortly afterwards, you’ll address me respectfully as your sister-in-law.”
