GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

It is said that you shouldn't meet your heroes. Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal bloodline didn't have to meet the realm lord of High Heaven before he became disillusioned. His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he got some damning knowledge about why demons kept attacking his home and looting the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord turned to self-hatred for his weakness and mediocrity. Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He isn't at the bottom of the ladder in this strength-based hierarchy. He is a king of law, but that apparently isn't enough to guarantee your fate. His strength is also mediocre because it was granted to him because of his bloodline. He determined he had to change himself. He has to become better. He concocted a plan that is one part genius and one part greed. His plan for reincarnation led him to the trial of heaven that occurs every origin cycle. He needed Origin essence so he participated in the trial. He got more than he wanted from the trial. His plan for reincarnation would be a success after some adjustments. But now he has a different aim. He won't aim for just the realm lord. The realm lord has control of the High Heaven Realm. That isn't enough for Geraldirah anymore. He became greedier. He has his sight set on the movers and shakers of the Void Universe. Only the power to subvert the will of World Gods will do. The plan to create LEGION, the ultimate organism was then hatched. If one person cannot achieve something, what about a multitude of them? His journey will not be easy. He will have to overcome Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon kings and their Demon gods. The Void Universe is full of obstacles that will like nothing more than to put an end to his path. It is not that they hate him. They will oppose him simply because the era of conquest is coming. There are no friends in the era of conquest. It is everyone for themselves. And he will use everything and everyone for the advancement of Legion. AUTHOR: I cannot promise that you will like it. I can only promise that the book is original and unique. It is something new. The MC is neutral evil. He is willing to sacrifice everyone for his goals. He is smart and the antagonists in the book are cunning. https: https://discord.gg/wA7n2M23Aw Power Stones Goals: 1400PS -1 Extra Chapter. 2000PS - 2 Extra Chapters. 3000PS -3 Extra Chapters. 5000PS - 4 Extra Chapters.

A MAZE OF GREED

A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper. "Ruth!" ******************* They say that there are only two types of people in the world - good and bad. Good people get happiness in their life while bad ones have to pay for their wrongdoings.

The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon

The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

Examples of Greed in Science Fiction
In 'Avatar', the corporate greed of the RDA Corporation is a major theme. They are only interested in the valuable mineral unobtanium on Pandora, regardless of the destruction they cause to the native Na'vi people and their planet. Another example is in 'Blade Runner' where the Tyrell Corporation's greed drives them to create replicants for their own profit and power, without considering the ethical implications of creating sentient beings as slaves.

How is Greed Portrayed in Science Fiction?
Science fiction portrays greed in various ways. It can be the pursuit of rare and valuable items, like in 'The Fifth Element' where the main antagonist is greedy for the stones that can save the universe, but he wants them for his own power. Greed is also shown in terms of territorial expansion, similar to how in some space - exploration based science fiction, certain factions try to claim as many planets or star systems as they can for their own wealth and influence. And often, the consequences of this greed are dire, such as the destruction of relationships, civilizations, or entire planets.

greed, anger
Greed, anger, and obsession were the three poisons mentioned by Buddhism. They referred to the excessive paranoia of likes and dislikes, the excessive paranoia of dislikes, and the fundamental unreasonable reality. Greed refers to having greedy thoughts about the object of one's love, anger refers to hatred, resentment, and the psychology of harming others, and obsession refers to the darkness of one's mind and ignorance. These three kinds of troubles were thought to be the root causes of human troubles, hindering the understanding of nature. Greed, anger, and foolishness were the shortcomings of human nature and needed to be overcome through cultivation. The purpose of cultivation was to comprehend, to be aware, to seek proof, and to let the heart obtain true freedom. The specific methods to overcome it included precepts, meditation, and wisdom, which purified the mind through precepts, meditation, and wisdom. The overcoming of greed, anger, and obsession also required correct cognition and behavior, as well as the guidance of education and culture.
