(Worm X CYOA (Hopefully it sticks)(Self-Insert) Well now...I am in a pickle, although I guess, based on where I woke up, comparing me to a pickle wouldn't be wrong. My name is Alex Breckten, just your normal college student from Earth, whatever, certainly not Aleph or any of the other ones I now know are real because...I'm on Earth Bet. AKA what once was a fictional web novel series called Worm, which should be all forms of fun now that I'm stuck in this reality with a depressed space whale ready to end the world at any moment! At least I think he's a space whale, not really sure if that was just the fandom calling them that for comedic effect or something else. Either way, I currently have a mad scientist-looking guy staring at me with the most unnerving grin on his face. Seriously, you'd think he was one of those cartoony mad scientists from 'name a series' with a clipboard and was surprised to see me awake. At first, I wondered why, then I saw three more pods next to me. Which meant...fuuuuuuuuck, I was the result of a CYOA prompt of some kind. Fantastic, just fantastic...and I remember filling one out as well, and I remember literally none of it except for my newfound knowledge and strange new body.

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! [There will eventually be an in-universe explanation for the existence of the Goody Two-Shoes System within the story. Additionally, as the story progresses, the Goody Two-Shoes System will slowly decrease in importance particularly past 350 chapters or so.] 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.
