In an Unjust World, Everyone Is My Secret Identity [Western Crossover]

[I'm working hard on getting back on track!] [There's a preview of my upcoming story below, so feel free to check it out!] To take on the miserable job of world-forging, Luo Ya had no choice but to perform all alone in this superhero world, where the style was obviously all wrong. Those once-clear blue eyes that represented hope were now filled with cruelty. The Dark Knight publicly revealed his identity, then turned and descended into the underground city. The demigoddess Wonder Woman's blade no longer showed mercy. The white suit of armor became the uncrowned king. A twisted octopus marked the round shield... At last, the whole world witnessed Batman, the last embodiment of humanity's free will, covered in blood and dragged into the highest-security detention cell, his armor in tatters. Behind the tightly sealed cell door, said to have been stained by the blood of countless resisters "If only this crappy world were Lego." The [Supreme Leader] lay back in the tycoon's happy chair, which he'd secretly snatched up with super-speed before Wayne Manor was bombed, and peacefully gave up trying. The [Unjust Wonder Woman]'s eyes were as clear as ever, like the Aegean Sea. The [Resistance Leader] started searching a hidden compartment, wiping the battle-damage makeup off his face. "...For the next plot point, I want to borrow an idea from the neighboring universe." Like the Crime Syndicate, which became famous after blowing something up... The trio of secret identities perked right up. Great! Did that mean they could retire from acting early? * But this battered world had an incredibly powerful dark core, and its world-consciousness was far too clever. It was obsessed with outrageous plots, like a rabid stray dog, and whenever it judged their resonance insufficient, it would reboot right in their faces... A real reboot of the entire world, all at once!! Eventually, not only the superheroes and supervillains, but also hard-working soldiers in governments around the world, thugs hired to create Gotham's criminal atmosphere, and gullible suckers in San Francisco with money to burn, were mass-produced shells created to keep the plot on track. Luo Ya: ...What a pain. I'm going to kill every last one of them!!! (purple-potato-head smile.jpg) He had no qualms about killing himself. According to Luo Ya's retirement plan, he could fulfill his mission and be free at last by getting everyone killed in a Bad Ending and sending this crappy world to the end of the universe. At first, everything was going smoothly. Until one day... The [Batman], who should have died in the explosion according to plan, stared in a daze at the bright S emblem and scarlet cape shielding him from the impact and heat. The [Unjust Superman], who had been watching Lego Batman rock out in his happy hideout, sprang upright. "...??!" That wasn't me! I didn't arrange this plot point! (The events in this blurb appear in Chapter 4.) Before-you-read guide: * The whole world is a shell created by Luo Ya's split personality. * A mostly useless System + save-point fic about a worker driven to madness. * The world-consciousness is as nasty as an urban-legend horror story. * No secret identities revealed, no pairing for the male lead. * In the main world, everyone has friendships, family bonds, and official pairings. * Don't miss the many fun featured comments!

Thanks! *Upcoming story next door* [Western Crossover] How to Feed a Little Villainous Puppy As the son of the Crime Syndicate's leader, Joey Lair was ordered to travel to the multiverse as an undercover agent, supporting the great plan for world conquest. ...The evil supervillain is me?! But when he first arrived on this Earth, he couldn't find any kryptonite to replenish his energy. After finally hearing that Gotham was the city with the weakest yellow sunlight, he was captured and taken to the legendary Batcave on the very next day. Joey: socially withdrawn.jpg System: [...Actually, you don't have to break into anyone's kryptonite vault.] [How about trading superhero trust points with me for an equal amount of power?] . Everything went unusually smoothly. Aside from one particular brooding hero refusing to budge, his superpowers really were recovering, little by little. But obviously, if people found out he came from an inverted universe, he'd be placed right at the top of the superheroes' watchlist. So Joey had no choice but to painstakingly start devising a disguise plan: [Have a tragic backstory. It'll help you get past a lot of questions.] [Don't reveal that you're a kryptonite enthusiast.] [Humans are incredibly evil creatures. Only absolute power can protect you... It's probably okay to let them pat your head once in a while.] [Lastly, don't forget that your father and his bird-headed adviser are tracking you at all times.] Crime Syndicate Superman's kid character concept Pairing: Jason Todd Theme: Rain falls on the righteous, and it falls on the unrighteous too.
