** It's mentioned in ''Fiendish Codex II'' that this is why Lawful Evil characters often make deals with devils - they expect to swiftly take positions of power and prestige in the diabolic hierarchy after their deaths. "No tyrant looks upon a wretched lemure and thinks that this will be their afterlife."
* In the [[Mutant Chronicles]] book ''Ilian'', there are two short-stories on this theme. Humans who joined [[Religion of Evil|the cult of Ilian]] because they wanted to become the exploiters rather then the exploited. And of course, their futures are ''so'' bright, since Ilian will smile upon them forever... until they fail or get backstabbed by each other, that is. Suckers.
* ''[[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40,000]]'' and ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Warhammer Fantasy Battles]]s'': Many people who join Chaos cults do so in the hopes of attracting their chosen god's favor. Unfortunately for them, said gods are just as likely to ignore them, give them what they want or subject them to horrible (or benign) mutations.
