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.

Abyssal chains

In the holy empire of Elyndor, touching the Abyss is the greatest sin. Those who survive its kiss gain power that rivals the gods—while a creeping curse devours their humanity. Kael Voss was born a noble, trained as an assassin, and condemned as a traitor. On the day his executioner raises the axe, a Rift tears open above the plaza and floods him with pure Abyssal power. Shadows rise at his command, ravenous and alive. In a single heartbeat he slaughters hundreds and awakens as the first of a new breed: a Devourer. Fleeing the capital,shade accidentally unleashes two legendary monsters the Church kept chained for centuries: Veyra Thornblade — the Crimson Berserker, a walking catastrophe wrapped in living thorns and unbreakable chains, addicted to battle and bloodshed. Seraphine Nocturne — the Calamity Witch, an ethereal sorceress who can erase existence with a whisper, burdened with memories older than the empire and a seal that—if broken—will end the world. Branded the “Three Harbingers” of an ancient prophecy, the trio becomes the most wanted beings in Elyndor. Inquisitors, nobles, and fellow Abyss-touched all hunt them—some for justice, others for the power inside their veins. To survive, shade and his cursed companions must feed the Hunger growing within—devouring Rifts, monsters, and, if they lose control, each other. But the Abyss is no gift. It is a predator. And it has chosen these three broken souls as its perfect vessels. Seal the Abyss and lose everything. Devour it—and become the new gods of a dying world. In a land where power corrupts and trust is suicide, three monsters will carve a path of blood toward salvation… or utter damnation. Abyssal Chains: Devourers of the Void Power has a price. Hunger always collects.
