MATURE Life hasn’t been kind to me. One moment, I was a carefree eighteen-year-old with dreams of a bright future. The next, I was a 28 year old lady and my world went up in flames. literally. My mom died in the fire that destroyed our home, my little sister is in a coma, and my brother’s in jail for trying to keep us afloat. My dad? He left us drowning in debt and despair. I thought I’d hit rock bottom, but then I found myself working in a place where dreams go to die, doing things I never imagined just to survive. That’s when he walked into my life, Alex Romanov. Dangerous. Mysterious. And entirely out of my league. He’s everything I should fear, but there’s something about him that draws me in. Maybe it’s the way he looks at me like I’m more than just another broken soul. Or the way he makes me feel alive when I thought I’d forgotten how. But Alex has secrets, dark ones that could destroy us both. And as my past collides with his world, I’m left wondering: Can I trust the man who’s slowly stealing my heart, or will his darkness swallow me whole? This isn’t the life I wanted, but it’s the one I’ve been given.

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.
