BTTH: AGAINST THE HEAVENS

Ankur_Sutradhar_8259
The sky burned red. Flames covered the heavens. Countless experts trembled before one man. Xiao Tian. The Heavenly Flame Emperor. Nine heavenly flames revolved around him like gods. Across the battlefield stood the ancient clans. Among them was the woman he loved. Gu Xuner. Her golden robes fluttered in the wind. Xiao Tian smiled gently. “Xuner… it’s over. Once I defeat them, no one will stop us again.” But her eyes were cold. Cold enough to freeze the world. “Xiao Tian.” Her voice carried no warmth. “You were always useful.” The words struck him like lightning. “What…?” Before he could react— A sword pierced his chest. Blood splattered into the sky. Xiao Tian slowly looked down. The sword belonged to Gu Xuner. “You… betrayed me…?” Xuner looked at him calmly. “I only used you.” Her next words shattered his heart. “The one I love is Xiao Yan.” In the distance, a young man stepped forward. Xiao Yan. The future Flame Emperor. Xiao Tian laughed. His laughter shook the heavens. “So this was all a game…” His cultivation began to collapse. The heavenly flames went berserk. The world trembled. Just as his consciousness faded… He heard a cry. A voice filled with grief. “XIAO TIAN!” Through blurred vision he saw her. The proud queen of the desert. The woman he had ignored for years. Medusa. Tears flowed down her face. At that moment… Xiao Tian finally understood. He had loved the wrong person. Darkness swallowed him.

The Evolving Post-Apocalypse Game

In 2045, the world collapsed into The Evolving Post–Apocalypse Game, a nightmare where half of humanity became zombies and survival was dictated by system mechanics. Smile, once human, awakens buried beneath a mound of rotting corpses. The stench of decay, the weight of bodies, and the groans of the undead press down on him. He remembers the bite that should have killed him, but the Zombie Vampire System has revived him—changed him. Crawling free from the pile, he realizes the zombies don’t attack. Perhaps he is one of them now. The desolate city greets him with silence and ruin. Searching for safety, he approaches a red Mustang, only to find a massive zombie trapped inside. As more undead close in, a holographic panel appears: Danger detected. Five D‑rank zombies approaching. Probability of survival: 50/50. Smile curses the system, but instinct drives him forward. He fights, desperate, screwdriver in hand, body trembling, until hunger overwhelms him. His jaw splits with agony, his teeth lengthen into fangs, and the system demands blood. Pinned beneath the zombie, Smile makes his choice. He bites. He tears. He drinks. The foul taste becomes fuel, the pain fades, and power surges through him. His senses sharpen, his strength grows, and the hunger transforms into exhilaration. The holographic woman appears, announcing his evolution: Zombie Vampire Halfling, D‑rank awakened. Ability unlocked: Nitro Accelerate. Bloodied, trembling, yet alive, Smile realizes the truth. He is no longer human. He is something new—predator, halfling, hunter. And his hunt has only just begun.

Reverend Insanity: The Goody Two-Shoes System

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.
