Reborn: No More Mr. Nice Guy

void_Space
My name is Cole Harmon, and I've lived the same miserable life twice — which, trust me, is about as fun as it sounds. The first time around, I spent ten years being the devoted husband, the hardworking provider, the guy who genuinely believed that if he just tried hard enough, things would turn around. They didn't. My wife was never really my wife, my son was never really my son, and every door that closed in my face was closed by the same man — my college classmate Derek Harrington, who was systematically dismantling my life while I was busy blaming myself for it. It ended with me on the floor of my own bedroom, beaten to death, while my wife handed him the weapon. Then I woke up. Twenty-five years old again. Fresh out of college. Every mistake still ahead of me — except this time, I already know exactly where each one is buried. I'm not here to fall in love, build a family, or find myself. I'm here to make two people answer for what they did, build something they can never touch, and maybe — just maybe — not die in the process. The plan is simple. The execution will be anything but.

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.
