In Silence, I Hear You

Slyphd_Sora
Lara Dena once ruled the political stage with brilliance and calculation. Until the day she died. She had reached the top - wealth, influence, power resting quietly in her hands. People envied her. Feared her. But she never celebrated. Because she knew what it cost. There were choices she could never undo. Lines she crossed that never disappeared. The world was corrupted. And so was she. When death came, she welcomed it. She thought it would finally silence her regret. She never wished for a second chance. Yet she awakens in Althera - reborn as Irisha Spes, a ten-year-old girl who cannot hear and cannot speak. A mute child. A deaf child. At the very bottom of the Malum Empire - a nation that worships strength and breathes hierarchy. Nobles above commoners. The powerful above the weak. And a disabled child stands lower than all of them. Irisha does not see this life as mercy. She sees it as punishment. In her first moments of awareness, she thinks of ending it. Why live again when she never asked to return? But she is not alone. Her little sister was born here too - small, innocent, unaware of how cruel this world can be. And even someone who believes herself sinful cannot abandon a child to suffer alone. So she chooses to live. Not for redemption. Not for ambition. But as penance. Even if that means enduring the tyrant empire. Even if that means crossing paths with the Dragon Prince - heir to a system built on power and hierarchy. Irisha Spes does not wish to rise. She only intends to endure. But in a world where strength decides fate... how long can someone survive believing they deserve to suffer?

Pokémon: Streamer to Trainer

Author’s Note: This Fanfic has been renamed from "Pokémon: Gamer’s Trainer System" to "Pokémon: From Streamer to Trainer" to better reflect the protagonist’s background and the story’s direction. [Sinnoh Timeline + Journey & Gym Challenge + Anime-Based Hybrid Worldview + “Tactical Pseudo-Invincible, Devious Playstyle” + System] Battle rules follow the anime’s Masters Eight format. Pokémon can learn unlimited moves, but trainers must strategically choose which to bring—making battles far more tactical. Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization all exist and will be clearly explained. No prior knowledge required—easy to jump in. Peter, a Pokémon game streamer, is suddenly transported into the Pokémon world he’s always dreamed of. Only… reality hits hard. He wakes up as a penniless orphan, surviving by begging on the streets. By sheer coincidence, he helps a hopelessly direction-challenged, overly emotional rich girl find her way home. Peter plans to earn an honest living— —but her “thank-you reward” is way too generous. Especially when paired with an overwhelming sense of justice right in front of his eyes… Yeah. He really can’t refuse that. Just as Peter prepares to set off on his journey, a mechanical voice echoes in his mind like divine music: [Ding! The host has gained Miltank’s recognition.] [Master Training System activated!] This system… Pokémon get stronger by playing games, listening to music, and watching shows? Wait—what?! That’s it? That’s the condition? So basically… if you have hands, you can do this?! Alright, then. Goal confirmed: Become the strongest Pokémon Master.

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.
