Hey there
Recently I've been playing some Cultist Simulator where one of the driving forces of the game is a sudden desire for knowledge (and some other options like power) that appears and drives you from your regular desk job into looking for something more.
Further on into the game you can even lose by getting complacent with your job and forgetting about your desire, its wild.
That sort of feeling really resonates with me (studying engineering while having a desire for knowledge about classic studies for example) and so I'd really like a book that explores something similar.
It obviously doesn't have to include any cosmic horror elements akin to those of Cultist Simulator, what I'm looking for is basically someone who tries to break free from a regular "complacent" situation and instead desides to dedicate themselves to something "greater" (could be knowledge based, could be finding out some ancient truths, looking for an ancient artifact/lost city, stuff like that)
Thanks a bunch!!
