Location: Unknown Earth – Code Name: "Gotham Prime"
The rain never stopped.
It slithered down gargoyles, soaked burning trash heaps, and drummed against a silent black cowl.
On the rooftop of a half-collapsed GCPD building, Bruce Wayne stood, staring at a corrupted Bat-Signal—twisted into a spiral, its center a blinking red eye.

But Bruce wasn't waiting for permission.
He was already ten steps ahead.

[Internal Batlog – Voice Memo 001]
> "Last week, anomalies began.
Systems glitched. Identities looped. Alfred called me Clark.
Then came the dreams.
Figures with no faces. Essence leaking from weapons that never existed.
The multiverse is cracking—and the architects are missing."
"So I did what I always do.
I followed the file no one could see.
The Black File."

MC (The Blank One):
> Bruce Wayne. Welcome to the dark between dimensions.
Bruce:
> You're late.
Deadpool:
> Holy hell. We summoned Batgod.
Kazuma:
> Wait, is he in his world alone?
Fury:
> I'm not surprised. He doesn't wait for instructions.
Esdeath:
> He can stay. Brooding men with trauma make fine war dogs.
MC:
> You found the essence signal before we reached you. You're the only one who traced an Outer God alone.
Bruce:
> I have my methods. I also have something worse.

[Solo Mission: Black File – Prototype God]
World: Gotham Prime (Isolated)
Objective: Investigate the emergence of a "Prototype Outer God" seeded in reality. Source unknown. Leaking essence disguised as vigilante power.
Threat Level: ???
Timer: Live. It's already happening.
Special: No backup. No rewinds. No reality exits.

[Rooftop – Distant Screeching Below]
The streets howled. Not with crime—but madness.
A new vigilante was loose in Gotham. A man wearing a stitched Bat-symbol and laughing through every kill.
"Justice is a story," the man screamed below. "And I'm the final rewrite!"
Bruce:
> He's leaking essence from a false virtue. Manufactured justice. Distorted morality.

[Combat – Tactical Darkness]
Bruce dropped into the alley like thunder with no sound.
He fought with precision. No wasted movement. Every strike a sentence in a dossier. Every dodge a redacted truth.
But "The Archivist" bled reality.
Every punch he took rewrote part of the battlefield. Buildings became ruins. Air turned into ash and ink.
Archivist:
> I am the author of all vigilantes! I am the reflection of gods wearing masks!
Bruce (voice calm):
> You're a lie given form. A parasite feeding on what makes us real.

[Final Move: Bat Protocol – Null Reversion]
Bruce triggered a device forged in secret from stolen multiversal data—refined through unseen connections.
He used essence not as a weapon, but as a counter-idea.
A hard reset to his own legend.
The Bat-Signal reappeared in the sky—clean, bright, uncorrupted.
The Archivist screamed and cracked.
Silence fell.

Bruce:
> The Outer Gods are testing us. That was just a seed. They're trying to rewrite what makes legends… legendary.
MC:
> Then we'll rewrite them first.
Deadpool:
> That was hot. I mean terrifying. But hot.
Rimuru:
> If he glares at me once, I'm retreating.
Buggy:
> Why do I feel like he knows my real bounty?
Artoria:
> I would ride into war beside him.
Esdeath:
> I want to chain him.

MC (closing his eyes):
> We now have our final knight.
> It's time to strike back. From the shadows.
Against the champions.
Against the gods.
Against the script itself.
