What should you do if you discover suspicious injuries on your classmate who’s just been adopted by Gotham’s richest man?
Theodore, an orphan, chose to contact Gotham’s Child Protection Services.
Three days later, Theodore was hit with two devastating pieces of news:
1. The Child Protection Agency issued a report concluding that Gotham’s richest man was completely innocent.
2. The orphanage informed Theodore that he had just been adopted by the same Gotham billionaire.
Theodore: “…” Pupils shaking
Question: How likely is it that the powerful figure you just reported suddenly adopts you out of revenge? Asking for a friend, URGENT!!!

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne thinks his newly adopted child is acting a little… off.
He tied his bedsheets into a rope in the middle of the night and tried to sneak out of Wayne Manor.
He looks terrified when he sees Bruce treating the patrol injuries on Tim’s body.
Then one day, in the Justice League’s watchtower, Gotham’s Dark Knight heard the boy describing his past.
“My former foster father was a pervert who liked abusing little boys.”
“He had black hair, was a playboy, saw his parents murdered in front of him as a child, had a British butler named Fred, was a master of martial arts and cold weapons, and before me, had already adopted three underage boys, every one of them with black hair and blue eyes.”
“I was lucky enough not to be touched, but the eerie, old-fashioned manor he owned, the bats shrieking from the darkness, those sounds still haunt my nightmares every single night.”
With every adjective, more and more eyes turned toward the League’s consultant.
Superman, in his red cape, hesitantly offered: “Uh, I think there might be… some kind of misunderstanding? To my knowledge, Bruce isn’t really—”
“Bruce?” Theodore’s eyes went wide.
“No, no, my previous foster father’s name was Stanley. And his ex-boyfriend was named Constantine.”
“…”
The Dark Knight didn’t say a word.
But in that moment, he finally understood why his newly adopted son had acted so utterly, bizarrely wrong when he’d first moved into Wayne Manor.
—
After the meeting, the Dark Knight had been fully cleared but he wasn’t pleased.
Whenever he recalled those days in Wayne Manor— When his new son would beg him with trembling lips, promising to be a good boy, saying he would quietly accept any punishment, pleading for mercy when Bruce “hit him next time”.
Bruce wanted to just curl up and die.
The god among men cautiously offered:
“…Should I take him instead? He has awakened his half Kryptonian blood, after all.”
Bruce refused without a moment’s hesitation. “Request denied.”
Not even the strongest Kryptonian in the world can take the bat’s little bird away from Gotham.
Even if the new bird is a Kryptonian himself.

Reading Tips:
1. Stanley is a canon character—yes, actually in official publications and is indeed Constantine’s ex-boyfriend. This isn’t made up.
His character settings include: black hair, billionaire, orphaned by gun violence as a child, inherited a manor, has a British butler, is proficient in martial arts and melee weapons, adopted three young boys named Dick, Jason, and Timothy… and abused two of them to death.
When it comes to chaos, no one beats the official comic.
2. The protagonist struggles daily to prove his innocence, wages a desperate battle of wits against thin air.
3. Misunderstandings galore. Everyone gets roasted equally.
4. CP: LITTLE RED BIRD. The romance progresses slowly and only starts near the later chapters. In accordance with Jinjiang’s guidelines, adoption will be legally dissolved before any romantic development.
5. The story’s event timeline is loosely structured, not strictly tied to the canon universe with some original settings.
Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.
Eighteen years ago, two children were born at the same time, but due to the negligence of the medical staff their name tags were switched. Tao Mu, who was supposed to be born in a wealthy family, was sent to an orphanage instead.
Eighteen years later, the mistake was discovered. Tao Mu originally thought everything could go back on track. However, his parents and siblings who were supposed to be the closest family disliked him deeply, lovers and friends also turned their backs on him.
Receiving such a shock, Tao Mu completely revealed his dark side, becoming a vicious cannon fodder that everyone hated. In the end he found himself utterly isolated and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
After being reborn, Tao Mu was surprised to find that he actually lived in a book. The male protagonist in the book was the Silly White Sweet** who was the other baby that he had mistakenly switched identities with. As for him, he was just the vicious cannon fodder encountered by the Silly White Sweet in his sweet and pampered life.
Tao Mu: f*ck this plot, and f*ck this stereotypical routine. I won’t be playing along in this life!
In other words, this is a dog blood story of a highly provoked cannon fodder no longer mistreating himself to please anyone after being reborn. Instead he will be relying on himself to build an entertainment empire that will catapult him to the top.

[Apocalypse + Two Male Leads + Space + Stockpiling + Cute Pets + Zombie Fighting + Minimal Farming]
Zhou Yang was just an ordinary nobody struggling in the apocalypse. He had no special abilities, no supplies, and followed the main force into the nearest small base. No team that went out to fight zombies was willing to take him in, so he could only do odd jobs in the base in exchange for a little water and food to barely keep himself from starving.
After carefully enduring three years, before the apocalypse was even over, they were robbed.
When he opened his eyes again, he was reborn! And he even had a new space!
This time, he wants to be at the forefront, stockpile supplies, grab the best house in the safe zone, raise the world's strongest mutant dog, and be the happiest lazy bum in the apocalypse!
There's only space, no superpowers; it starts with just one person and one dog.
There's a romantic partner. There are teammates.
Everything is for the sake of surviving!
Chrollo x Gojo Satoru
(Kuroro is somewhat different from Hunter x Hunter; he's more like a time traveler.)
Kuroro transmigrates into the body of a child named Fujiwara Raku in the world of jutsu, becoming a Starmash. How does he shed this identity, gradually gain control of the jutsu world, and ultimately become its behind-the-scenes boss?
Zenin Naoya: "Fujiwara Raku, you wait, I will definitely be the person you need most."
Satoru Gojo: "I thought it was a small orange, but it turned out to be a black sesame ball. Still, I quite like it."
Another top-tier sorcerer:
Xia Youjie: "Fujiwara Raku...it's hard to say."
Fuheshchen: "A bandit, a complete and utter bandit, but I still have to thank him."
Zhang Sushang travelled through time.
He became separated from his family by a hundred years, his body gained two layers of fat, his BMI seriously exceeded the standard, his health was worrying, he was cut off from his family here, and he lost his source of income, causing him to be on the verge of starvation!
Picking up his pen in despair, Zhang Sushang could only hope to save his stomach with novels.
Right, he also needed to lose weight — too much fat would lead to fatty liver and the three highs of metabolic syndrome: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high levels of fat in the blood. If he wanted to see his family again, he had to make sure that he lived to see the next millennium!
The Winter Olympic Games were still two or three years away. If his dad was here, with the excellent fitness of an astronaut and the skills of a figure skating champion, he would definitely be able to win an Olympic gold medal. As for himself, he had only trained until he was sixteen years old, when he had to retire due to developmental issues. His highest achievement was a mere triple axel, so he could only write novels to fill his stomach.
Wait, could anyone jump a 3A right now?
At this time, no Chinese person had ever appeared at the Olympics. If a miracle could happen early, even a salted fish would fight for it.
And Zhang Sushang was no salted fish.
Before his rebirth, He Zizhong was unfortunate. This loyal dog had been loyal to the wrong person. In the harsh apocalypse, he was betrayed by relatives, tricked out of his spatial dimension by his lover, and tragically, hunted down by a rival who had stolen his love. Only on his deathbed did he learn that Fang Hao, who had accompanied him all along, was actually the junior from high school who had confessed his feelings to him. Sadly, he also died, right in his arms. In He Zizhong's previous life, Fang Hao felt lucky. Six or seven years later, in the despair of the apocalypse, he had found his first love, a senior from his senior year, again, and could stay by his side for half a year.
(Lighthearted and funny) (Acting as a villain + four-star accompanying card pool character + live broadcast + black moonlight turns white + repairing favorability + starting experimental subject + multiple vests + different world chat group.) Yannian, Bu Liren's experimental subject, finally escaped, but was shot to death by Lan. The binding system allowed him to run with the up five-star male character as a four-star, becoming a popular card pool character, but the prerequisite is that the favorability with the up five-star male character must reach ninety-five or above. Yannian checked the favorability of Jingyuan, Danfeng, Ren and others in turn, and all were negative. "Why is it negative, system." Yannian was puzzled. "Because the host was their black from the beginning.
In a Mary-Sue novel, the readers all liked the Devil Venerable, the second male lead who devoted himself whole-heartedly to the female lead. However the female lead only loved the male lead who abused her physically and mentally.
Readers: Why doesn’t the female lead like the Devil Venerable?!
Devil Venerable: This Venerable also wants to know. But what I really want to know is why I even like the female lead at all.
In order to understand why the female lead wasn’t attracted to him, the self-conscious Devil Venerable brutally interrogated the entire cast of characters from the novel.
Background characters: I have so many things I want to say but I don’t dare to say it to his face!
–
After obtaining the book, the Devil Venerable discovered that the book described the world he lived in. This book said that after he sacrificed himself for the female lead, the fourth male lead, his silent and loyal subordinate Yin Hanjiang, blackened and attempted to kill her as a sacrificial offering for his lord.
Devil Venerable Wenren E: Yin Hanjiang, this Venerable wants to know why you wanted to kill the female lead.
Yin Hanjiang was silent.
Wenren E: If you refuse to speak, this Venerable will cut out your tongue and have it with alcohol!
Yin Hanjiang: …
Wenren E: What the hell are you blushing for?!
[Six Eyes x Ten Kage, Dual Family Heads, CP Satoru] (Title: "Cursed Return: Ten Kage Want to Make the Blue Blue Inhabitable") From his previous life, anime geek Souya, inexplicably reborn as a baby, finds himself transported back to ancient times, having leapt straight into another class. He hoped to capitalize on his centuries-old knowledge to pretend he was a genius, but after all that, he discovered he was still a modern person, forced to lie low and enjoy a decadent life of free food and clothing. Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and fate's gifts come with a price tag. This is the incredibly dangerous world of Cursed Return! Lying low? Impossible! Join the dignified Sukuna in a round-the-clock battle! With a future so hopeless he can't see clearly, it's better to just give up. But Zenin Souya, looking up at the azure sky, decided to gamble his life for those shining stars. There once was someone you could only admire from afar. The more you see, the more you become addicted; the closer you get, the more you become captivated. I finally understand what it means to fall in love with a world. Looking back, the blue sky also dwells in my heart. To this day, the blue sky remains crystal clear. Minecraft and User Guide: 1. Single worldview, only curses return. This story follows a philosophy of enlightenment, infant transformation, and growth. It's not a story of instant success from the start. It doesn't follow the high-school path, but aims to transform the world of curses from top to bottom. The protagonist has personality issues (carefully selected from psychology books), is a receptive character, and the romance is secondary. 2. I'm a new author who wants to write a long novel, but my writing skills are limited, making it difficult to update. I'll slowly revise the story as I come up with new ideas. Point out any issues, and the author will respond with courage after reading the comments. It takes a long time to criticize the author, so please exit if you're unhappy.
