After Being Bound to Both the Hero and Villain Systems

[I can't guarantee regular updates. I plan to unlock the chapters, but I should finish the story. The original outline was intended to be one hundred thousand ten-thousand-character units long. After unlocking, I'll update and finish it when I have time, but the pace will be slow.]

Xing Jianluo, an overworked office drone who diligently gathers intelligence behind the scenes for Libra, is suddenly bound by two Systems at once.

One is a villain System, demanding that he build a villainous organization by drawing cards and become a mastermind who wreaks havoc in the region.

The other is a hero System, which likewise demands that he build an organization by drawing cards and maintain world peace.

Xing Jianluo: ? Why don't you two fight it out first?

From the start, it all depends on card draws, and every leader and member is him.

The demon known as the "White Yasha" wanders through the darkness, defining good and evil for himself.

Espers who weave darkness together and dance with danger live on the edge of death.

A child prodigy with an old soul uses mind reading to slack off and avidly follow the gossip.

A gold-haired, red-eyed "Crime Lord" uses honeyed words and cunning schemes, hoping to bring about a revolution and change the whole world through "crime."

Just look at the kinds of people in his organization: "chaotic evil" troublemakers, judges who uphold justice... Not a single one is normal, and that includes him, the leader of both the hero and villain organizations.

The hero and villain Systems bound to Xing Jianluo are always trying to destroy each other's organizations. Caught in the middle, he quietly plants spies in both, staging a game of betraying himself.

Later...

The members sent undercover into the organizations realize something is off.

Spy 1: My boss is acting weird. His gaze is especially sharp whenever he looks at me. I'm freaking out. Has he found out I'm a spy?

Spy 2: ...The new subordinate is also a spy, just like me. There are way too many of us in this organization.

Spy 3: This is such a pain. I'm a scoundrel sent undercover in the hero organization.

Spy 4: Help! How am I supposed to slack off in a way that makes my assassination mission fail convincingly? Being a double agent is no job for a human!

Spy N: Holy crap, this is a spectacular mess! The water's flooded the Dragon King's temple! Who the hell could have guessed the leaders of the hero and villain organizations are the same person?!!!

Xing Jianluo smiles: That's right. It's me. Still me.

* My take on the secret identity trope. The cards aren't all connected to one another.

* If it's not your thing, just leave. Let's respect each other's choices.

* The out-of-character moments are extremely out of character. No need to tell me, I know. If that bothers you, run!!

Letting Loose in a Broken Fanfic

Yue Jianmu, a fanfic author who has dug countless pits and never filled them in, gets bound to a "Finish the Story Livestream System."

Yue Jianmu doesn't care at all. He opens his computer and keeps digging pits, churning out a bunch of incredibly out-of-character, melodramatic fiction.

--Only Zhongyuan knows that on the day that man defected, he got dead drunk.

--The old friends parted ways. No one knows that the day WTW killed Xia You with his own hands and was hailed as a hero was the saddest day of his life.

--Jiang Gu can't ever forget the sound of that gunshot. The man he loved most killed his best friend.

It only takes a few days of digging new pits for the world to change. The fanfics become reality, and everything goes wrong.

The Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia suddenly decide to arrange a marriage alliance.

The greatest sorcerer in the jujutsu world goes mad, claiming that he killed his lover and will become a curse user to revive him with forbidden techniques.

A double agent planted by the Public Security Bureau in the Black Organization kills the boss and takes over, then orders the FBI spy hunted down.

Yue Jianmu: ? Is he crazy, or is the world crazy? Is this real?

Yue Jianmu is stunned when the System tells him that the world can only return to normal if he livestreams the completion of all the stories he's abandoned.

Taking direction from the livestream comments, Yue Jianmu lets loose, and one melodramatic plot after another unfolds.

After finishing every story, Yue Jianmu is horrified to discover that the worlds are still fused, and those people now remember the broken versions of reality too. One after another, they come looking for him...

Yue Jianmu: ...

Yue Jianmu: This world can no longer contain an out-of-character fanfic author like me. Mom, I'm going to hit the road right now.

Theme: Good fortune doesn't fall from the sky. You have to make it happen yourself.
