However, things take a dark turn when he finds himself trapped inside the game world, possessing the body of the “Priest of Corruption”—a character designed to be hated and disadvantaged.
The story explores themes of redemption, resilience, and the pursuit of power. Despite having terrible stats and being despised by everyone around him, the protagonist gradually discovers hidden strengths linked to the mysterious hand of a goddess he possesses. This hand becomes both a blessing and a curse, providing him with forbidden powers while attracting dangerous enemies.
The protagonist’s struggle to rise from the bottom is compelling. He must rely on cunning, strategy, and the dark powers of corruption to gain influence and survive. The alliances and betrayals he faces add depth to the plot, while the dark tone and morally gray choices make the story unpredictable and engaging.

Plot of The Priest of Corruption
The protagonist’s journey begins with a simple mistake. After using cheats to create a character in a popular game, he presses the play button and unexpectedly wakes up in the game world. Worse, he finds himself in the body of the “Priest of Corruption”—a character with abysmal stats, despised by both commoners and nobles alike.
Armed only with a dried-up hand of a woman, he soon realizes that the hand belongs to a fallen goddess. This artifact grants him access to forbidden powers of corruption. However, using these powers comes at a cost—both physically and mentally.
As he navigates the hostile world, the protagonist faces distrust and hatred at every turn. However, his strategic mind and the goddess’s hand give him an edge in battles and political maneuvering. He starts to uncover the truth behind the goddess’s fall and the hidden forces manipulating the world’s fate.
As he grows stronger, the protagonist faces a moral dilemma—should he embrace the power of corruption to survive, or find another way to carve out his path? His rise from outcast to influential figure challenges the world’s established order, drawing the attention of both allies and dangerous enemies.
