F-ranker Sword Saint: My Soulbound Sword is Secretly SSS-tier!

A century ago, colossal stone swords descended from the skies, stabbing deep at the heart of twenty-eight cities. Like so began the Sword Trials. Worlds against worlds, species against species, set in a separate, unique, battleground realm that resembled the greatest sword-themed, faction versus faction MMORPG to ever exist. Levels, Legendary Equipment, Hidden Quests, Guilds, Territories, Spawns, NPCs, Sword Skills, Loot that could transcend worlds through a special currency… Only those who can awaken their sword marks would be called Bladeborns, warriors of their race. Armed with Soulbound Swords of varying tiers that decided their ranking in the modern hierarchy, they would fight for the continued existence of their worlds. Ending the battle, however, proved far more difficult than expected. A seemingly unbreakable hundred-year stalemate was reached. The apocalyptic ending eventually faded from everyone’s minds, and being a Bladeborn suddenly turned into a profession. Some even treated the Sword Trials as a mere game. Schools began adding swordsmanship classes as a major subject, and those who excelled beyond their peers at the same high school would be called Sword Prince and Princesses. One such celebrity was Daru Finnley, a young man who had an unusual love for the sword. Named the Fallen Sword Prince after a disastrous awakening ceremony, the label of genius changed into garbage overnight. But his “trash” sword held a secret. And so did his soul… Three worlds WILL fall. === For the month of December 2025: For every 20 powerstones / 5 golden tickets = 1 bonus chapter A cumulative total of 150 powerstones for the entire month would trigger a grand mass release event for the month of January 2026.

Becoming a God Starts with Acting

A world without gods struggles against cunning and dangerous monsters from another realm, teetering on the brink of collapse—until… Silvanus never expected to die at the peak of his glory. He was on stage one second, accepting his third consecutive Best Actor award. The next, he was dead—crushed by a falling glass stage light in a tragically ungraceful demise. But the worst part was yet to come. He didn't indeed die. Instead, he woke up in an entirely different world, one on the verge of being swallowed by darkness due to an overwhelming invasion of monstrous creatures. [Beep—Acting System activated! Greetings, my god. Please create your character and start collecting Acting Points!] Thus, humanity discovered that they now had gods, divine protectors who guided them in their battles against monsters… A god who feared everything yet could foresee the future. A narcissistic deity who commanded water and life itself. A depraved being who, despite his corruption, remained undefeated against even the strongest creatures. No one knew they were all the same person. "Worship me. Believe in me without end. And one day, I shall truly descend upon this world…" /// /// [Volume 2 - God felt emptiness—so He created a world. That world needed life, so He granted it rivers and trees. But the world should be more vibrant, and thus, God created the races... The Celestials, who proclaimed themselves God’s apostles, ruled the heavens and carried legends of a kingdom in the sky. Small in stature but great intellect, the Hobbits built an invincible mechanical empire. The Elves, who accumulated the wisdom of hundreds of thousands of years, possessed a civilisation that would never decay—masters of intellect, with legends claiming they could foresee the entire world's fate. The Undead, warriors who traded their lives for immortality. The Demons, actual monsters of the age, wielding the power to destroy all things—creatures who lived purely by their own nature. The Dragons, colossal beings of overwhelming might—existences none could dare violate. The Merfolk, rulers of the seas, are invincible within the ocean’s depths. And the Humans, the diligent honeybees of the world, endowed with an unending capacity for learning—destined to advance their own era eternally.] You can start reading from either Volume 1 or Volume 2.
