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.

Reborn Scumbag: Jizzing to the Top of the Music Empire and Hollywood

In the sleazy, cum-stained underbelly of 2010 New York—Liberty City's rotten core, where pop queens like Beyoncé and Cardi B are exploding onto the scene like jizz from a money-shot—Leon Smith, our chain-smoking, reborn asshole protagonist, wakes up bewildered as fuck, puffing on a cig while plotting his ascent to scumbag supremacy. "What could be more liberating than being a total prick in this capitalist shitshow?" he muses. "Becoming a filthy rich, fame-whoring prick, that's what!" Armed with a twisted system that refreshes monthly "shameless entries" like "liar" to unlock his inner douchebag powers, Leon dives balls-deep into the music biz cesspool: dropping ghostwritten albums that slap harder than a pimp's backhand, seducing starlet cunts for clout and contracts, manipulating capital like a Wall Street wanker jerking off to insider trades, and thieving ideas from every talentless hack in sight. Betrayal's his foreplay, lies his lube, hypocrisy his happy ending—and in this greed-fueled orgy of American excess, those sins are goddamn virtues. He'll backstab producers at MTV Awards, forge gangster beats in smoke-filled studios, and worship money like it's the holy grail of golden showers. But with rivals sniffing his trail and the system's devilish blessings egging him on, will Leon climb to the top as the ultimate entertainment emperor, banging pop divas and bathing in blood money? Or will his scumbaggery backfire in a spectacular clusterfuck of lawsuits and beatdowns? Strap on, you degenerate fucks—this rebirth rampage is a vulgar vortex of hip-hop hustles, celebrity cock-teasing, and unapologetic assholery that'll leave you rooting for the villain while questioning your own moral butthole.
