[Disclaimer]: This story is fictional. While some locations and elements may be real but used as fiction, others are entirely imagined. --- [Synopsis] Shiva Bhairava, 25, is a brilliant prosecutor with a mind fractured by delusional syndrome—visions, voices, and violent impulses he has spent years suppressing under the steady, gentle guidance of the only person he ever trusted: his mother. But when she is found dead—swiftly dismissed by authorities as a “suicide”—Shiva’s world collapses. He knows the truth festers beneath the lie. His mother would never take her own life. And in the shadows behind her death, he sees the one monster he has feared since childhood: His father. A ruthless mafia kingpin now polishing himself for a seat as Malaysia’s next prime minister. A man who hides blood beneath his tailored suit—and the father of three other sons born from concubines, each groomed to be a perfect weapon. Shiva, the true eldest, was always the mistake—too moral, too fragile, too dangerous. Now, with his mother gone, the chains she held have snapped. And the fracture in his mind becomes his greatest weapon. To uncover the truth of why she was murdered—and the secrets she kept buried—Shiva steps outside the law he once defended. He hunts his father’s empire one son at a time, carving through corruption, politics, and the streets of Kuala Lumpur’s dark underbelly. Every kill brings him closer to the truth. Every truth drags him deeper into madness. What he unleashes is something even his mother feared, a broken mind with a mission, a son shaped into a monster, and a justice soaked in blood. ---

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.
