[Western Crossover] A DOL Player, but in Gotham

An irregularly updated free story, with paragraph comments enabled.

Dark-themed premise.

It's seriously hellish, with content that may make you uncomfortable! Be careful...! In theory, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone (?) Nothing is depicted explicitly, but there are implications. I play DOL, so cut me some slack.

If I'd known in advance that I would transmigrate into a game, I absolutely would never have played a hardcore game.

I struggled through years inside it.

First playthrough, second playthrough...

As for me, the player character, I now have a brawny physique! An iron will! Off-the-charts stamina! It's time to change this game's tone.

No one can beat me!

I'm in a small town, and I've become its boxing champion.

I roam the town like Batman. Give me a steel pipe, and I'm the toughest mom around. Dare to hold my gaze for more than three seconds?

Huh, I've transmigrated again!

Is this still Gotham?

That's really unfortunate.

The people of Gotham are so kind. No one forces me to pay huge sums of money every month, no one mocks me for no reason, and puppies and kittens are such reassuring little cuties. Most importantly, the vigilantes actually do their jobs! The nights here feel much safer than they did in the game!

Facing Batman

Me: You mean there's a bunch of lunatics here, and you're the only normal one. You have to use violence to stop them without killing them. What a coincidence, same here!

Batman: ?

Me: You say those lunatics are always lusting after you, and it gives you a headache. What a coincidence, same here!

Batman: !

Me (with a sunny smile): What, you mean I can go out after six in the evening without getting xx? The public safety here is amazing.

Everyone: What kind of life did you have before?

And what are you smiling so brightly about?!

Me (listing them off): Hey there, my sanity is at zero, I'm plagued by nightmares, my hallucinations are back, and I'm intensely anxious, but I get straight A's. That's what I can do!

Reader's guide:

1. A very short hurt/comfort story, around twenty chapters, updated whenever. It's a product of my personal tastes.

2. First-person, no romance. There are no descriptions related to the game; it only serves as a backdrop, and this has nothing to do with a fourth-dimension disaster.

3. Dark humor, a lethal dose of dark humor, seriously lethal and extremely dark. Please prepare yourself mentally... This is a completely unhinged, perverted product of bad taste, written to relieve stress. You'll find all kinds of strong-body jokes and ⭐️ abuse implications in this story.

4. I don't accept any suggestions for changing the wording.

Theme: Pain will eventually be healed
