Awakening Desire

Kael wakes up in an unknown world, moments away from being sacrificed. With no way to understand his situation, one thing becomes clear—he is no longer just human. He carries the soul of the God of Desire, a being feared and hated across the land. Faced with death, morality becomes a luxury he can’t afford. To survive, he must embrace the power within him, no matter what it takes. Whether it leads him to greatness or ruin, he will carve his own path in this unforgiving world. Every being is a slave to something, and desire rules over most.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

In a world where faith is law and desire is sin, a man awakens in the body of a humble priest—only to hear an unholy whisper in his mind. "Welcome, Host." [HOLY CORRUPTION SYSTEM] [Mission: Seduce a Holy Sister] [Rewards: Insight, Silver Tongue] Trapped in the rigid hierarchy of the Holy Empire, he quickly learns that true power doesn’t come from prayer—it comes from temptation. With every righteous soul he corrupts, the System abandons his old body and places him into a higher-ranking identity, granting him influence and abilities no holy man should wield. From priest to bishop, from knight to inquisitor, each conquest reshapes his fate, pushing him closer to the throne of divinity itself. But the higher he ascends, the deadlier the game becomes. The Holy Church is filled with ruthless clergy, zealous warriors, and hidden heretics—not all will fall so easily. If he wants to rule the sacred, he must outwit the divine. In this game of sin and salvation, only the most wicked desires will survive.

Matte suffers from vivid nightmares—fragments of an unremembered past. One day, he finds himself in the Void, an infinite, alien void without light or form. He’s met by a mysterious voice—disembodied but seductive—that provides no clues about its identity or aim. Without any sense of where he is or how he got there, Matte is suddenly wrenched from the Void and jettisoned back to Earth. Two hundred years have gone by, but he has no basis for understanding the strange, new reality of “null” that is already governing the world’s power structure. In the months that follow, as fractured memories return, Matte discovers an even more shocking fact: his return is not accidental, but the harbinger of something much, much bigger. He was destined for more than resurrection—his path will remake not just his past, but the future of the world itself.

“Oww…” I winced, lifting my throbbing head before glancing around and as expected the lab was in chaos. There was glass shattered everywhere, sparks fleeing from one place to another and the acrid scent of burning chemicals filled the air. Flames licked at the countertops, but what made my stomach drop was the gas spilling from a ruptured pipe. Crap. No one needed to tell me. I already knew it was toxic. The faint greenish tinge to the air, the sharp sting in my nose. It was more than toxic….it was deadly. And spreading fast and I couldn’t help but wonder what would have caused such an explosion. I tried to push myself up, but pain shot through my ankle, forcing me back down. I bit back a scream. “Dammit!” I cursed. That’s when I saw him. Liam. He was standing near the exit, scanning the chaos with an unnerving calmness and it was obvious he hadn’t seen me yet. Why the hell did he always have to be everywhere? He was already annoying enough. Ugh. I held back an eye roll. I tried my best to get up again but it was completely useless. I had sprained my ankle and there was no one around to help me…except him of course. Even if I wanted to yell for help, I’m sure the students left would be running towards the exit by now. So I didn’t have a choice but to ask him for help…apparently my only other option was dying and I couldn’t afford that. “Liam!” I choked out, coughing against the gas as it seeped closer. His head snapped in my direction. His eyes locked on mine, and for a moment, I thought he’d help. Instead, his expression hardened. He turned toward the door, ready to leave. God. He really was an asshole. “Wait!” I shouted, my voice cracking. “Help me! Please!” He paused, barely glancing over his shoulder. “I’m sorry, do I know you?” His voice was cold, detached and heavy with sarcasm. I gritted my teeth. My head throbbed, and the gas was making my vision blur, but I forced the words out. “We have classes together. Or have you forgotten the girl who was paired up with you in chemistry today…and do you even need to know someone to help them out?” I snapped. His gaze lingered on me for another second before he turned to leave and then I knew I had no choice. “If you don’t help me, I’ll tell everyone your secret.” My words made him turn. His dark eyes narrowed as he strode closer, towering over me. I had been holding it in for too long. It was high time I let it out. “My secret?” His tone was mocking. “Your fall must’ve really messed with your head, four eyes. Now you think a bluff is going to make me help you?” “It’s not a bluff,” I snapped, coughing violently. “I know who you really are, Alex.” His entire body stiffened. “Care to repeat that?” His voice was low, dangerous. I sucked in a shaky breath, the gas burning my lungs. “I know this identity of yours is just a cover, Alex Bronson.” I drawled. “So if you know what’s good for you, stop questioning me like a fool and help me dammit.” ~~~~~~~~ Eleanor is a 23-year old woman who was involved in a car accident on her way to her interview.

"Take her," the dangerous man orders casually, like I'm the most boring little human he's ever encountered in his life. "I said stay the fuck away!" I yell at him this time, causing him to tilt his head in amusement. "A little girl like you shouldn't be swearing at your elders. It's bad habit. Your daddy should have taught you better." Hold on.
