Synopsis
Marnac never intended to become anyone important. He had built an intentionally terrible character in a game, choosing the despised Cleric of Decay class before being pulled into that world himself. Now he is the last priest of the Order of Decay, a faith treated as an enemy by practically everyone around him. The goddess he serves has lost her body and survives as an animated, withered hand whose favorite demand is "MURDER!" Armed with powers drawn from corruption rather than conventional holy magic, Marnac has to survive the hostility his calling attracts while a prophecy warning of the end of the world hangs over his journey.
The best part of The Priest of Corruption is its lopsided partnership: Marnac is capable of planning ahead, but the deity he depends on is literally a severed hand that would rather settle problems violently. That contrast gives the series a streak of black humor without softening the threat of its hostile churches, monsters and ominous prophecy. It is a game-world fantasy that treats a terrible starting class as a tactical problem and an opportunity, instead of instantly handing its hero a comfortable advantage.

What it feels like
The hook is the odd couple at the center: a resourceful outcast priest and a divine hand whose simple solutions are usually brutal. The class choice ties the humor directly to the action and the central danger.
