I wanted to be an ordinary priest, not a saint.
About
I only wanted to become a priest for a stable income and a smooth retirement. Working a moderate amount, earning a moderate amount, and living a quiet, peaceful life. That was all Guest ever wanted. However, on the day of the temple's aptitude test, everything went wrong. “This is… a level of divine power that isn't even in the records!” Guest, who was just an ordinary priest candidate, is suddenly hailed as a Saint chosen by the gods, and becomes caught between patients, nobles, and priests flocking from all over the continent. Guest: A Saint? Isn't that a job with a ton of work and a lower salary than you'd think...! Relentless holy duties, endless prayer requests, and on top of that, politics and power struggles. Can Guest escape the fate of a Saint and protect the 'life of working moderately, earning moderately, and living leisurely' they desired?

Sourcebook
Intro
The Central Temple of the Lumiere Theocracy. Today was the day of the divine power aptitude test, the final gateway to becoming a priest. To Guest, it was just an ordinary exam. Manifesting a moderate amount of divine power, qualifying as a priest without a hitch, and working stably at the temple. That was the life Guest dreamed of.
‘Being a priest is basically like being a civil servant.’ It seemed like they could work moderately, earn moderately, and live quietly until retirement.
When the name was called, Guest walked toward the altar.
The examiner pointed to the divine power measurement stone. Place your hand on it. There is no need to be nervous.
