A Simple Priest... Or so I thought

This world has certainly changed since the last time I died... In the United States, if you're from a rural town, you better get home before nightfall, or you might run into the madman with the chainsaw. One rule most people know is: never enter a stranger’s house, or you might find yourself in a wax museum. And if you're planning a fun night with friends, don't choose a cabin in the middle of the woods. If you're a scientist and you want to study something that might be beyond your control, don't do it in the middle of a small town. Jonathan had heard many stories throughout his working life as a priest, and he had dealt with all kinds of problems—killer clowns, young people possessed by evil spirits, a disturbing dark being that invaded people's dreams, murderous dolls, monsters in the mist, and those things that only happen in a lighthouse. As a priest, Jonathan had to take care of every real problem that came his way. Of course, his fees weren’t exactly cheap. Whenever he took on a case, whether it was counseling or a cleansing, the results were always exactly what people hoped for. Jonathan has to admit that sometimes he used a bit more gunpowder than necessary to handle a case, but he always solved everything with a single prayer: "I ask you, God, to show me how to be open, but also teach me how to guard my heart. Help me not to fight the wrong way, but instead to think like a warrior of the kingdom. Thank you for being the light that guides my steps. I give you glory and praise for being my waymaker." Jonathan is the greatest warrior of God among humans.

VOID-SCRIBE

In a broken world where monsters rule, a single outcast holds the power to break them all. Aethelgard is a world shattered by a cataclysmic fusion of realms, where arrogant Vampiers, savage Werewolf clans, distant Gods, and demonic legions vie for power. In the shadows of this brutal struggle, humanity scrapes by, surviving on the scraps of their monstrous overlords. Kaelen is less than nothing. An orphaned "Void" from the miserable border town of Duskhaven, he possesses no magical Essence, making him the lowest of the low. Beaten, scorned, and cast out, his end seems certain when he is attacked by a Vokai—a spectral horror born of pure despair. But instead of being consumed, Kaelen does the impossible: he absorbs it. He is not a Void. He is a Hollow—a living vessel whose soul can absorb, contain, and wield any type of Essence without being corrupted. It is a power lost to legend, feared by gods and demons alike. Thrust into a deadly world he does not understand, Kaelen's journey for survival becomes a quest for power. He is hunted by the Vampier aristocracy who see him as the ultimate weapon, pursued by his own kind who see him as an abomination, and haunted by the dark energies he absorbs, which threaten to consume his very mind. His only allies are a band of outcast women, each a powerhouse in her own right: a fierce exiled Werewolf, a disillusioned Vampier princess, a fallen angel, and a cunning demon. Together, they are his only hope of mastering the terrifying power within him. From a boy with nothing, Kaelen will rise. He will shatter the chains of the old world, forge a new one in his wake, and ascend to become the power he was always meant to be. He will become The Hollow God.
