Roses and Rot

A world without gods struggles against cunning and dangerous monsters from another realm, teetering on the brink of collapse—until… Silvanus never expected to die at the peak of his glory. He was on stage one second, accepting his third consecutive Best Actor award. The next, he was dead—crushed by a falling glass stage light in a tragically ungraceful demise. But the worst part was yet to come. He didn't indeed die. Instead, he woke up in an entirely different world, one on the verge of being swallowed by darkness due to an overwhelming invasion of monstrous creatures. [Beep—Acting System activated! Greetings, my god. Please create your character and start collecting Acting Points!] Thus, humanity discovered that they now had gods, divine protectors who guided them in their battles against monsters… A god who feared everything yet could foresee the future. A narcissistic deity who commanded water and life itself. A depraved being who, despite his corruption, remained undefeated against even the strongest creatures. No one knew they were all the same person. "Worship me. Believe in me without end. And one day, I shall truly descend upon this world…" ... Silvanus once thought that all he needed to do was seal the endlessly appearing dungeons, but the world was far broader than he had imagined. As secrets gradually came to light, Silvanus’s journey toward becoming a true god grew ever more difficult, entangled with even greater conspiracies. Can Silvanus rediscover himself and complete his own growth in order to repel the darker, more sinister forces that are constantly plotting to invade the worlds under his dominion?

"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.

Five boys grew up with nothing. No family. No history. No names. They were orphans — strangers to each other at first, then brothers in every way that mattered. When a kind volunteer gave them names and a brass locket with a faded photograph inside, they finally felt like they belonged somewhere. To each other, if nothing else. But the locket had a history older than any of them knew. And the names they were given were not new. They had been used before. Twenty years later the five men reunite and travel to Crescent House — an abandoned stone manor beside a dark lake three kilometers south of the town where they grew up. A place they have been drawn toward their entire lives without understanding why. A place the town has feared for generations. A place where a family disappeared in 1962 and was never found, leaving behind nothing but an empty dinner table and a brass locket. One night in that house will cost them everything. Something ancient lives in the lake beneath Crescent House. It does not hate them. It does not wish them harm the way a person wishes harm. It simply needs them. It has been preparing for them for twenty years, since before they had names, since before they had each other. It knows their fears and their loves and the exact shape of what each of them cannot bear to lose. And it has been very, very patient. By the time dawn comes, one of them will be gone. The ones who survive will carry what happened in that house for the rest of their lives — in their sleep, in their silence, in the specific way broken people learn to keep walking. But the story does not end with them. Because somewhere in Nainpur, in the same orphanage where five nameless boys once grew up, five new boys have arrived. No family. No history. No names. The cycle is turning again. *Some stories do not end. They return.*

This is a novel about a former human who becomes a demon because of a game. He lives his life as a demon from the Abyss, crossing into other worlds. (There will be different systems in use, different plots, and different powers. Expect cultivation systems, game systems, magic systems, and much more.) His main objective is to destroy and cause chaos throughout the multiverse. This novel also uses a ranking system that affects both anime and comic universes. Void becomes a Primordial Demon and, step by step, changes the views of all races about demons. Demons are not weak; demons are beings of pure chaos. Note that the MC is cruel and indifferent to life. This is a dark novel, so don't expect a Son of Destiny. In fact, Void isn't a villain...he is far, far crueler. Do not read if you are weak-minded.
