A game-lit story I think I read this year in which one of the characters has 'oath keeper' as a skill.

Thanks, but that's not the one.
When the character promised something, it created some sort of bond with the recipient.

It might be Axeman, by Shaddoth.

There are multiple TITLES awarded to the MC.
Just checked. That title is NOT one of his.
Just went down the rabbit-hole on the three Axeman-verse stories this author has written. Wow! What a great bunch of fanfic. A lot of good story elements, although the second one is a bit lackluster compared to the other two (2nd = knife guy).
Anyone who likes Shaddoth's Axeman should read at least one of these, and probably will want to read all three. (The three stories are technically independent of each other, but there is an obvious internal chronology. I think the Oath-keeper story is the latest in the internal chronology, but I also think that reading that one first didn't do me any real harm.)
Anyway, highly recommended!
A search for "oathkeeper" or "oath keeper" came up with nothing interesting. "Oath taker" came up with Beer League Scrounger by James Girvan as GameLit. I have not read it.
Good Hunting, limab
Might be thinking of Beer League Scrounger by James Girvan.
CH. 7 has the group give a binding promise and they each gain a "title": those making the promise get Oath Giver with an effect of losing one random status point if they break their promise while the person accepting the promise gets the title Oath Taker with a description of 'An oath taken is an obligation unfulfilled. Breaking an oath obligation forfeits one random status point.'
This is the only story I know of that has anything similar to what you described: "one of the characters having Oath Keeper as a skill".
Story is set in Shaddoth's Axeman Universe although there are minor discrepancies in system functionality between this author's story and Shaddoth's.
Thank you, limab and ralord82276.
My leg is now very bruised with my kicking myself. Unfortunately I'm not sure that will improve my memory.

Sorry. Can't help there. Used to have a memory like a steel trap (example family used to move every 1-2 years and whenever they needed info from previous locations such as dates, phone numbers, addresses, etc ... I used to be able to just rattle that stuff right off ..even up to 20+ years in the past) ... unfortunately, these days not only do I have trouble remembering why I entered a room but I also forget what I an saying AS it is coming out of my mouth.. will be talking to my stepson and halfway through a sentence just suddenly stop and then have to confess to not remembering what I was saying. Even when he tells me what I was saying, I have no memory of it and no clue what else I was going to say. Very frustrating.
