Book lion

A word for book worms who refuse to be called book worms. Book lions are simply cooler, and therefore, some readers refer to themselves as book lions.

Big lion

Big lion is one of the three universal beings, alongside pheb and the merciless sun god. He is one of the last two remaining since he nuked pheb. Big lion is constantly seen by his worshippers when they summon him at their churches. His worshippers believe that he will destroy the earth and create a new, more perfect world. The only thing stopping him from achieving his dream is the merciless sun god whom will do whatever it takes to protect humanity.
Big lion appears to his followers as a 40 foot tall lion with a overarching arm of darkness. He can fire lasers of pure radiation and command the shadows to do his will. Wherever he goes he leaves a path of radiation and those who he encounters quickly lose their hair and age and wither until they die. Only his worshippers are safe from this.
person 1: who on earth is that?
person 2: oh no.
person 1: what is it?
person 2: its Big lion. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
(person 1 and person 2 age and wither and turn to dust as Big lion approaches)
