The Gods Are Addicts
In a universe where gods are not omnipotent but addicted to worship, devotion, and the energy it feeds them, Eryndor, once a deity of unchallenged power, begins to feel the hollow ache of eternity. Every prayer, every chant, every act of devotion that once nourished him now tastes like ash.
Haunted by a craving he cannot name, he attempts the impossible: to quit worship. Withdrawal is excruciating. His divine strength fades, his visions blur, and hallucinations of other gods—half whispers, half specters—taunt and tempt him back into omnipotence.
As the gods themselves watch with amusement and scorn, Eryndor descends into the raw, unbearable reality of mortality. Pain, fear, longing, and love—experiences he had ignored for millennia—flood him. Each moment is fragile, fleeting, and intoxicatingly human.
In a story that is part addiction narrative, part philosophical meditation, and part soul-wrenching coming-of-life tale, The Gods Are Addicts explores what it means to truly live: to embrace imperfection, mortality, and freedom, even at the cost of divinity itself.
Eryndor must decide: reclaim godhood and eternal supremacy, or surrender to mortality—and in doing so, discover the beauty of life itself.
