[Western Crossover] One Minute Until Disaster Strikes

Here's a fun upcoming novel, Batkid's Characterization Is Off [Western Crossover]. In the end, I couldn't resist going after a Batkid. The upcoming novel's blurb is at the very bottom. ~·~This novel's blurb~·~ I'm Iron Man's shy junior schoolmate, and I'm the doctor's sharp-tongued intern. I'm the professor's mutant mentor, and the sweetheart's combat support staff. I'm Gotham's solitary runaway, and I'm New York's unfortunate abuse victim. That's right, every one of those people who faked their deaths after completing their missions was me! That's what Ulysses said. After completing his missions, he could finally escape the System's restrictions, get a new identity and background, and live out an ordinary life. Then... Just before the System left, it suddenly told him: [There's something I should have told you earlier. All the missions you did were in the same world, and you'll be staying in that world in the future. Oh, and by the way, they are now...] Ulysses: ...His smile slowly faded.jpg System: [Have fun when your secret identities get exposed. Goodbye.] Ulysses: ...Hey! Hey! I don't want my freedom anymore, take me with you! Faking your death is fun in the moment, but you'll pay for it later. I-I still have a chance. I'll keep my barely useful secret identity under wraps and figure out a good explanation. O-one minute until I'm exposed_(:з"∠)_ [Note]: 1. The blurb is just an introduction and doesn't fully represent the story. The protagonist was forced to fake his death in the past, and suffered for it, so there will definitely be angst. There are unpleasant villains who undermine the protagonist's confidence, and it's toxic. 2. The past and present timelines run in parallel and alternate, with long flashbacks. The author won't mark them in the chapters, by personal preference. There are also extensive internal monologues and character analyses, reflecting the author's personal views. 3. OOC is unavoidable. Sorry. If this makes you uncomfortable, please stop reading and close the book. The author is sensitive and doesn't accept taking quotes out of context or personal attacks. I don't accept people labeling this story with warnings. If you think there's a problem, you can point it out. I'm not unwilling to accept criticism, but please don't use the word "warning". 4. This is not a romantic rivalry. There are high affection levels, but much of it is familial, friendly, comrades-in-arms, or teacher-student affection. The pairing is with Iron Man. 5. The timeline is scrambled and the setting is a mishmash. Please don't attack me because it doesn't match what you know. I've never been abroad or lived overseas, so some things are researched and others are made up. If you spot a problem, please point it out politely. Thanks for your understanding. 6. My old novel is still blocked by writer's block. Sorry. The new story is partly an attempt to get back into writing. I'm afraid I won't be able to write again if I don't start. I'm currently stuck near the ending, so I can't update daily. Sorry. 7. Thank you for choosing to read this story after getting this far. Sending you love. ~·~Upcoming novel's blurb~·~ Grant Wayne, son of Gotham's richest man. He has two older half-brothers, a younger half-brother, and another younger half-brother who shares his father. He grows up in this loving, happy family. As an artist, Grant is either looking for inspiration or on his way to look for inspiration. Or else he's checking in with his beloved father for inspiration: "Dad, I miss you. Can you send me some money?" His beloved father, being missed: "..." Grant also has a little secret from his mother. His trips out to "look for inspiration" aren't just for his art. They're also how he stays alive. Because he isn't human. He's a half-vampire who can turn into a little bat... Grant looks at his father, who's been turned into a bat, his eyes filling with tears. Ah! Dad loves me so much! His misunderstood father: "..." Never mind. He's used to it. Note: 1. The opening takes place before the events in the blurb, when the protagonist is a little boy. 2. The protagonist is weak at first, and his personality isn't like the Bat-Family's. 3. But he really is a bat. Even half-breeds have wings! Theme: Perseverance brings success
