I’m a Gangster, and You Want Me to Fight Evil? 我是黑社会，你叫我除恶扬善？
The only supernatural element. A little martial arts is fine. This is a story about seeking justice for the people, with some political intrigue. It is not a mindless killing spree. The protagonist isn't a pushover: he punishes evil and rewards good, and the supporting characters aren't made unnaturally stupid. Fang Zheng transmigrates into the body of a small-time gang boss in a parallel world. He also awakens a "Killing Makes You Stronger" System. As long as he kills someone with a crime score
