Can a Hopeless Romantic Survive in Gotham?

As a Gotham native, Charles Victoria has always been ashamed of his local roots.

He isn't as good at making a scene as the many villains in Arkham, and he doesn't like wearing dark, tight-fitting clothes at night.

It goes against his aesthetic principles. Yes, he's a *damn* artist who can't do anything at all, if everyone is willing to call paintings that can't sell for a single penny art.

So, strictly speaking, Charles is a self-proclaimed artist with no talents whatsoever besides money!

Charles Victoria nods in agreement. "That's right. I'm not only a damn artist, I'm damn rich, too."

"I won't be ashamed of that. Only someone who stands apart from everyone else gets troubled by it. Luckily, in Gotham, I have Young Master Wayne for company."

In other words, Gotham has two famous rich young masters who are good for nothing! Hooray!

He loves being useless more than anything!

But soon, Mr. Charles's happy days of being useless came to an end when he inexplicably got bound to a System that called itself a romance System.

The System shouted, "Aren't you supposed to be the legendary, universally adored, blue-eyed and blond-haired sweetheart?! Why, after more than twenty years, have you still not won over your crush?!"

Mr. Charles's happy little bubble popped. "I was thinking... maybe my crush would like it better if I dyed my hair black?"

"My dear Bat, are you still not planning to reveal your identity to your childhood friend?"

"..." The Gotham native who liked wearing black, tight-fitting clothes at night fell silent. "Do you think I haven't tried?"

After numerous failed attempts, one day he even put on the Batsuit himself.

Unfortunately, Charles Victoria only gazed at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, his long eyelashes catching the sunlight. That wasn't the point. He asked, "Hey, Bruce, I didn't know you were into cosplaying as Batman. But I like Superman better. He's so handsome when he smiles. Why not cosplay as Superman next time?"

The lovesick System pointed out, "You have to understand your crush!"

Charles: "Of course I understand my childhood friend!"

"Not completely. You need to understand how his brain works."

"..." This time, it was Charles's turn to fall silent. He curled up timidly and greeted the Bat personality beside him. "Hello there."

"The situation is dire." A professional doctor in the Watchtower judged from outside the mental world. "It seems Batman has developed a personality called Charles Victoria... That incident hit him too hard."

Inside the mental world, the Bat looked stern. "Completely incompetent doctor."

"I will embrace death twice with open arms."

"And after that..."

"Will come my final rebirth."
