Every Time I Die, I Can Steal a God's Authority

[Death Regression + Stealing Divine Authority + A Battle of Eldritch Gods + Unhinged Protagonist + Dark Power Progression + Infinite Worlds]

This world has thirteen invisible gods.

They dwell in everyone's shadows, in dreams, behind mirrors, and on the fourteenth floor of elevators. They are everywhere, feeding on human fear and bound by chains of faith, weaving a vast web called “everyday life” over millions of years.

Ordinary people will never know.

Lu Chen knows, because he's died.

To be precise, on his first day after transmigrating to this world, his roommate bit through his neck. A divine servant was living inside that roommate's body. More precisely, he died forty-seven times on his first day.

Every time he died, he returned to the same morning. And every time, he “stole” a tiny fragment of divine authority from the eerie thing that killed him.

The first time, he stole “immunity to being devoured by shadows.” By the forty-seventh, he had stolen “the ability to foresee death three seconds in advance.”

When he finally survived the first day, he discovered that he had pieced together a fragmentary divine authority within himself.

The world's guardians of order, the Edict Bureau, found him.

They asked, “Would you like to become a god hunter?”

Lu Chen smiled. To others, his smile looked calm and gentle, but only he knew the madness buried beneath it, accumulated over forty-seven deaths.

He said, “No. I want to become the fourteenth god.”

In one sentence: Each time he dies, he steals a fragment of a god's authority. The more brutally he dies, the more he steals, until he pieces together a complete divinity.
