The Priesthood: The Price of Power

The Priesthood: The Price of Power

Goendri
In the Book of the Heralds, it is written what a priest must give to gain power: "Forget joy; understand what power brings. Power brings misery, and to understand what misery is, one has to forget all joy. Understand this, human, for those who are powerful should carry the pain of the living on their shoulders and the pain of the dead in their hearts. So those who have no power can live with joy." Join Kanrel on his quest to find the truth of the mysteries that he is presented with: the Angels and the Otherkind; what is their connection; and why do the Angels prophesy of a coming war, an ascension of the Otherkind, and the destruction of humanity by the will of the Betrayed? Follow him as he starts as a novice and becomes a fully-fledged priest while vowing to carry the burden of power for the sake of the weak, but all comes with a cost... Forget joy. - - - What to expect: The story is a bit slow, mainly focusing on thoughts, different ideas, and feelings that the main character, Kanrel, experiences in his life. So do not expect many action sequences. FYI, this story was first posted on to another site/app by me. I would link it here as proof, but I am not sure if it is okay to link to another site that offers a similar service as does WebNovel. Also, the picture in the book cover is generated via the AI option here.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint [Complete]

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.” After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark. He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. DISCLAIMER: This isn't mine.

The Plaguefeather

Death means nothing to a man who lives to create it... To someone who only gains by taking, who delivers pain without ever feeling it, to someone like Deon Ravenheart. A name whispered in fear, yet seen by none... A ghost. An assassin. A grim reaper in the flesh. He simply did what he was best at—ending lives, including, eventually, his own. But instead of oblivion, he wakes up somewhere else. In another body. Another world. A place that doesn’t just threaten pain—it promises it. And for the first time, Deon isn’t the one pulling the strings. Here, pain is the language of survival, and for the first time, Deon might finally learn what it means to feel everything he once ignored. Maybe he wasn’t meant to live in the world he came from. Maybe this one was always waiting for him.
