My Next Life in Modern World

Leo dies at sixteen—drowning beneath a frozen lake, bleeding, exhausted, and oddly calm. As the moon reflects on the water above him, he decides that maybe dying isn’t so bad. After all, his life had always been cursed. In his previous life, Leo was born into a noble family in a fallen kingdom. His pale skin and white hair marked him as an omen, blamed for his father’s death, his mother’s silence, and the cruelty of the shaman who replaced her love with fear. Beaten, hunted, and hated, Leo ran from home with only one purpose left: protect his younger sister at any cost. He endured hunger, lies, and bloodshed for her future—only to lose her anyway. Revenge followed. Then karma. And death. But instead of nothingness, Leo wakes up in a modern hospital. Crying strangers surround him. A doctor calls his name. Machines beep like they’re mocking him. Confused but unimpressed, Leo quickly concludes that either heaven has terrible interior design—or he’s been reincarnated. Given a second life in the modern world, Leo decides on one thing: he’s done suffering quietly. Now armed with sarcasm, blunt honesty, and zero respect for authority, Leo bulldozes through his new life with reckless humor. He jokes about death, insults people without realizing it, and treats emotional conversations like contagious diseases. Teachers hate him. Doctors regret saving him. Somehow, classmates are fascinated by him. But beneath the rude remarks and lazy grin is a boy who doesn’t know how to be loved. When someone shows him kindness, he assumes they’re joking. When someone worries about him, he tells them to relax. When romance quietly finds its way into his life, Leo remains completely oblivious—unable to believe that affection could exist without pain or loss. As memories of his past life resurface, Leo must confront the truth he’s been avoiding: he was never cursed—only surrounded by people who failed him. And in this new life, with laughter replacing despair and love knocking far too loudly on his door, Leo is forced to choose between running from attachment… or finally allowing himself to live. My Next Life in the Modern World is a romance-filled reincarnation novel about healing through humor, loving without sacrifice, and a boy who survived one tragic life—only to be completely unprepared for happiness in his second.

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.
