[Due to the author's writing limitations, this story has changed from romance to no-cp.]
Riel, aka a vampire from another world.
Gets beaten to a pulp by the character he was a fan of in his previous previous life.
He's not much of a Red Hood fan anymore.
It's wonderful when your fave dies. It's not so wonderful when he wakes up and beats you up.
Being able to beat your fave matters. If you can't, all you can do is squeal.
Being hit by your fave may be a privilege, but getting beaten to a pulp by him clearly isn't.
Luckily, his health bar is long enough that a newly turned vampire with no self-control can't take him out in one combo.
Just before his health bar runs out, the new vampire's rage buff finally wears off.
The two of them stare at each other.
"So, Jason Todd, big guy?" Riel tries to coax him gently. "Do you remember your past?"
Jason Todd, big guy, looks like he's about to twist this stranger's head off.
"I'll take that as a yes." With no one to help him, Riel struggles to his feet from the pool of blood. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Riel. Our mission now is to save the world. Let's go save our messiah."
"Who?"
"Batman. They took his body, but that's okay." Riel sounds quite relaxed. "I'll bring him back to life."
"Once Batman is back, everything else will fall into place."
1. Vampire Nightwing can be saved, and the whole Batfamily can be saved too, but not all at the same time.
2. Due to the author's writing ability and limited reading, Duke will not appear in this story.
3. The plot is heavily rewritten. After reading one too many vampire comics, I finally got mad and decided to flip the original on its head. (Alfred choosing Damian, what kind of bizarre move is that?! Aaaaaah!)
4. If anything makes you uncomfortable, please stop reading.
Theme: Face life with optimism.
