Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system.

Monarch of Misery: My God-tier System Devours Broken Souls

The world ends on Zukko’s twenty-fifth birthday. That’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Crushed by poverty, abandoned since childhood, and chewed up by a world that never cared, Zukko welcomes extinction with open arms, peace at last. Or not. Time freezes, the sky pauses mid-apocalypse, and a nameless being marks his soul for something far worse than death. When the universe finally collapses, Zukko doesn’t find peace. He wakes up in chains. Reborn as Caedren Valerian, the most infamous criminal in a brutal emotion-powered world, Zukko’s second life begins on death row. His execution is public. His crimes are legendary. His fate is sealed. The forbidden System awakens at the moment of his death sentence. >>The Monarch of Misery lives again >> Cultivator of Despair. >>Feed… or be consumed. In Eclipsera, power is born from emotion. Rage, grief, fear, lust—cultivated, weaponized, monetized. Spirit Walkers rise as heroes. Monsters crawl from corrupted wells. And at the center of it all stands Caedren, walking a seventh, forbidden path that devours despair itself. But power comes at a cost. Every time the System saves him, it eats a piece of his soul. Every time he feeds, the line between man and monster blurs. And if he fails his quests… the Monarch will corrupt his soul. Hunted by creeds, feared by sect leaders, and dragged into an ancient battle against darkness, Caedren must choose: Stay human and die weak or become a god made of misery. Dark fantasy. System awakening. Villain evolution. This is not a redemption story. This is the memoir of a man who died… and discovered that Evil is the strongest power of all.

Crownless Ascension: The Shepherd Saga

Having once been a celebrated warrior, he spent his last days overwhelmed by the burden of conflict, experiencing remorse, despair, and a profound sense of emptiness from a soul ravaged by the terrors he had seen. In obscurity, he passed away, a person whose inner self had long departed. However, passing was not the conclusion. The Infinite Creator, though invisible yet ever-present, granted him another opportunity, transforming him into something greater than his previous self. He is revived in another world, awakening as Lythion, an insignificant herder located in a humble community. In this realm, creatures such as succubi, vampires, terrifying undead, and gigantic beings wander freely. Moreover, he is guided by a mysterious System, presenting challenges and missions exclusively tailored for him. Nonetheless, these ordeals surpass mere warfare; each triumph and encounter compels him to recuperate the sentiments he had forfeited: bravery, happiness, affection, sorrow, and even optimism itself. As Lythion reclaims each feeling, he develops greater strength, unlocking abilities intricately connected to the core of his being. Lythion transitions from a shepherd to a fighter, from fractured to complete, confronting deceit, illicit cravings, and the overwhelming responsibility of leadership. By regaining the entirety of his humanity, he can rise not just in dominance, but also in the chance for genuine rebirth. “Authority is not freely handed out; it’s earned by devotion… attained through the spirit, innermost self, and the struggles known only to oneself. ”
