(Folks are busy studying for exams. Updates will resume after exams at the end of the year. I still don't want to start a new story and leave it unfinished.)

Blurb:

Because its built-in configuration was too low, the System originally bound to Anna Bell was compressed when she transmigrated to Gotham.

Anna, calm as ever: So what's my mission?

Low-spec System: [Loading desperately: 99%...]

Half an hour later, at last

[Help the Wayne family's heir become the Dark Knight] + Anna: ! Don't tell me the famous Dark Knight is still only a teenager! Ahhh!

During the financial crisis, Anna shared an apartment with a roommate who called himself Bruce White. Together, they took on bounty missions and helped countless citizens, making them worthy of the title Gotham's Most Inspiring Youth of the Year, for the eleventh year running.

Jerome: Want to hear a joke?

Anna, blunt as ever: That lipstick shade looks nice +

Riddler: What keeps changing, is covered in scars, but can't be held back? (Time) +

Anna, the king of witty comebacks: Your ex-girlfriends? +

Bruce had two secret identities exposed.

The first time, he went from roommate to Gotham's sweetheart.

The second time, he went from sweetheart to the caped, black-clad vigilante who polices the city.

Both times, his cover was blown so suddenly that he was completely caught off guard.

Bruce, puzzled: How did you recognize me?

Anna shrugged: Your behavior, your bearing...

And that equally weird sense of humor.

Notes: 1. Plot-focused. Usually updates every other day at 9:00 p.m.++++

2. The young master's timeline got eaten. Everything else is unchanged.

+3. A carnival mash-up for fans of British and American TV shows and movies.

4. The main cast are all abnormal people. It's probably a story about relying on one another and growing together.

+5. The heroine's "friendly exchanges" with the supervillains come later, since most of the characters haven't turned evil or come into their own yet at the beginning~

(This is my first time writing a plot-driven story, so think of it as practice www)

Check out my own advance reservation: [Western Crossover] I'm a Gotham NPC

[Blurb] A globally popular VR game begins its closed beta. Cities from different regions fight each other every year, and once only one region remains, the full game launches.

NPCs and their cities are bound together. Whenever a region is destroyed, the person in charge of that city dies with it.

Annie, an NPC who has won the championship three times in a row, knows this all too well.

After the third war ended, Annie renamed [District Thirteen] [Gotham].

*

Every cunning city has its own way of winning.

Some cities hold human culling programs, kicking out weak players and keeping the strong.

Some cities hold Hunger Games at random, distributing resources to the predators.

[Gotham] adopts an everyone-is-evil policy. Annie turns the city into a residential ward of Arkham Asylum, focusing on breeding the strongest contenders.

Until one day, another group of players pours into the closed beta.

A man nicknamed Batman keeps the city safe.

A blue-eyed professor who deliberately chose a hairless face during character creation takes in mutants.

Most importantly, they don't spend real money on the game!

Watching superheroes, violent criminals, and mentally ill patients brawl in the streets, and successfully kicking these players offline,

Annie, who happened to be out on an inspection: ! Stop fighting, please, stop fighting!

*

Gotham becomes gentle and courteous, while NPCs in the game's other regions sharpen their knives and grow more violent by the day, preparing for the annual competition.

Annie: Uh-oh

This feels... doomed.

1. May or may not have a couple, may or may not be a romance.

2. The superheroes aren't actually players. They've transmigrated into the game.

3. The cover is a ready-to-use advance reservation cover by artist BS.
