You are an evil god, ruling over greed, lust, envy, and vileness.
Under the persecution of the righteous gods, you have few followers. Only sinners who have fallen into the purgatory of suffering will beg for your mercy in their despair.
Gods survive on faith. To stay alive, you have no choice but to show them mercy and make them your servants.
*
A prince whose right to inherit the throne was stolen, then exiled, promises to sell his soul and serve you for the rest of his life as he lies freezing and near death. You embrace him tenderly. Later, he becomes king.
A holy son framed by a conspiracy and left with a ruined reputation prays amid mud and misery, willing to turn his back on the Holy Lord and worship you as his new master. You answer him graciously. Later, he becomes pope.
A general betrayed by the royal court and left with nowhere to be buried swears amid overwhelming hatred to spread your glory across the world in exchange for revenge. You accept his offer eagerly.
*
You discover that as long as you show mercy to those who have hit rock bottom and help them escape their predicament, faith comes easily. Your divine power grows stronger and stronger, until even the righteous gods have to keep their distance.
But why are your followers so fanatical about you, filled with greed, spying eyes, desire, lust, and possessiveness, even intent on desecrating you?
*
Because they were followers of evil all along.
They have twisted their souls and long for you with all their hearts. They love you greedily, entangle themselves with you in their dreams every night, and covet your attention, love, and favor.
...My god.
★ An innocent, happy, carefree newborn evil god VS followers rescued from despair, passionately in love, and humbly yearning for you
★ A refined and elegant crown prince, once noble and bright, later sinister and crafty VS a cold and beautiful holy son, once pure and innocent, later depraved and lustful VS a handsome, strong general, once brave and upright, later violent and unrestrained
