I was reborn into a mafia novel world with the system help

Stanjk
In her first life, Selena Vale lived and died for the family that adopted her. She was obedient, elegant, and useful — the perfect daughter the Vale family proudly showed to the world. But everything changed the day they found their real daughter. Overnight, Selena became nothing more than a placeholder, a mistake they were finally free to erase. The love she thought she had earned turned into cold disgust. The parents she trusted abandoned her, her brothers framed her, and the real daughter smiled while taking everything Selena had built. By the time Selena realized she had never truly belonged, it was already too late. Betrayed by the family she called her own, she was murdered and left to die with hatred in her heart. But death is not the end. Selena opens her eyes in the body of a doomed side character inside a wealthy, ruthless story world — a girl with the same face, a ruined reputation, and a fate even worse than her own. Before she can make sense of it, a cold mechanical voice appears in her mind: System activated. Host must complete all assigned tasks to return to original world. Failure will result in permanent erasure. To survive, Selena must rewrite the plot, avoid multiple death flags, expose hidden enemies, and climb to the top of a world that was designed to crush her. Fortunately, the System gives her one forbidden advantage: a hidden storage space that can hold cash, medicine, evidence, rare items, and secrets powerful enough to destroy entire families. Then she meets Don. Cold, untouchable, and terrifyingly intelligent, Don is the one man no one dares provoke. He rules Dawn Estate like a king wrapped in silence and danger. He doesn’t believe in love, kindness, or coincidences. So when Selena appears in his world with eyes full of buried rage and a talent for surviving impossible situations, he offers her a deal instead of trust. A contract. He gives her protection, status, and power. She gives him loyalty, usefulness, and a role in a game neither of them fully understands. It should have been simple. But Selena is not the weak woman everyone thinks she is. And Don is not the emotionless monster the rumors claim. As Selena completes deadly system missions, uncovers plot secrets, and begins building the revenge she was denied in her first life, she realizes returning home may cost more than she imagined. Because the deeper she falls into Don’s world, the more dangerous the contract becomes. What starts as calculation turns into obsession. What begins as strategy turns into desire. And what should have been temporary starts to feel like fate. Her first family killed her once. This time, she will make them regret ever calling her daughter. But revenge is easy compared to one impossible question: When the system finally offers her a way back… will she still want to leave Don

The Fantasy Paradox

The meter kept climbing, its glow intensifying until the screen flashed a single, impossible phrase: “Logic Disruption — Level: God.” That was the moment Jayden’s world changed forever. Not in the way it did for other sixteen-year-olds when their magic awakened—no, his awakening was something far beyond human comprehension. It was the day destiny reached out and tore him from the ordinary, casting him into the realm of legends. Jayden’s path was unlike any other. His fate was written in defiance of human limits, bound to transcend the very laws of existence. “Hmph. You’re too weak,” said the voice that echoed through the silence. “Are you sure we’re the same person?” Fantasy stood before him, his gaze sharp, his tone dripping with disdain. They shared the same face, the same soul—but Fantasy was Jayden’s future self. A future scarred and broken. A future where the world had been reduced to ashes because he lacked the strength to stop the supreme being known only as The One. “I walked a lonely path,” Fantasy said, his eyes clouded with regret. “I thought solitude was the price to protect others from pain. But I was wrong.” He paused, the air trembling with power and grief. “You… will walk a different path.” And so it began—Jayden’s journey to surpass his future self, to rise beyond all who came before him, and to challenge the fate that threatened to consume his world. This time, he would not walk that path alone.

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.
