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.

THE WATCHER OF THE INFINITE

TITLE: THE WATCHER OF THE INFINITE ​[The Primal Spark] In the beginning, there was only the Void. I was a simple man until the Genesis Core was seared into my chest—a divine power that shattered reality into a Myriad of Continuums. I became the Watcher, a ghost forced to witness the chaos I created. ​[The Mirror’s Sin] But in one of the splintered worlds, I met him—My Mirror. He was a version of me who refused to let my wife, Elena, die. In his desperation, he ripped open the fabric of Chronos to save her, breaking the timeline forever. His love became a cancer. From his sin, Parasitic Earths were born—dark, twisted worlds that are now feeding on the life-force of my original creation. ​[The Harvest of Darkness] By saving one life, he doomed billions. The rift he created didn't just leak time; it leaked the Primal Infections. Now, the once-pure realms are being choked by shadows. He brought the Blood-Thirst of Vampires, the Feral Rage of Lycans, and Forbidden Magic into a world of logic and machines. ​[The Final Hunt] The universe is dying. To stop the Parasitic Earths from consuming everything, I must step down from my throne of silence. I must hunt my own shadow across the dying worlds, reclaim the scattered fragments of my power, and purge the darkness before the last light of the Myriad goes out. ​They call me a failure. They call him a Savior. But only one of us can survive the end of time. ​I am the Architect. I am the Executioner. I am AETERNA.
