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.

Mana Reaver System

He isn’t weak. He’s damned. Cursed to feed only on the mana of the dead. Eric won a second chance at life after a system promised he could get revenge for the death of he and his best friend. He immediately accepted, but he didn't sign up to be a Kill-to-feed being after carrying out his revenge on his killers. Eric refused the order of the parasitic System to kill and consume the mana of his own people. His defiance triggered a transformation into a mindless Beast, and he awoke in a field of corpses. Something he'd done in his mindless state. Thousands of his colony brothers and sisters, brutally killed, their mana devoured. Consumed not by choice, but by a curse he couldn’t control. Now, transmigrated to a world of magic and blades, the same System whispers to him again. His hunger for mana is a ticking clock. Consuming mana however, doesn't just stop his hunger, it also makes him stronger, whether he wants to be or not. And in this strange, violent academy in a violent world, he wants nothing. He just wants to hide. So he plays his role: the hopeless, clumsy freshman, content to be the bottom of the class. He'll be weak. He'll be harmless. He’ll be anything but a threat. But the curse has other plans. Eric never wanted to grow stronger than he was. He needed a solid reason to upgrade his stats so desperately... Until that reason came to him. A mad, brutal reason to grow stronger. To survive this world, he must first conquer the monster he brought with him. And the line between controlling the beast… and becoming it… is starting to blur. Weakness is his disguise. Hunger is his power. And the academy is about to learn that the most dangerous predator isn’t the one who roar in the wilderness. It’s the one pretending to cower.
