Third Person POV
Doing his nightly routine as he observe Manhattan via rooftop of a building, Alex notice a few eyes observing him at the shadowy corner
He pulled up three batarangs and throws them quickly at the said corners
A man jumps away and tried to avoid the batarangs but was too late as he didn't notice Alex came close to him and drove a punch to his body dropping him quickly like a sack of brick
He widened his eyes at the man's attire, as it was a ninja clothes with black red color scheme, he search around noticing four more people in the shadows
"tsk...there are more of them" Alex grumbled
He duck as a Kusarigama sailed pass him and he grabs it by the chain, he pulled the ninja close to him and hit him with a knee
He jumps away and pulled four more batarangs and throws them at the remaining three, the ninja's jump out of the way unto the open
They stared at Alex as he thought to himself why the hand attack him this early, he didn't provoke any of them at the first place
The three ninja quick on their feet proceeded to engage Alex in combat, as he easily dodge pass the slashes from their swords
Alex observe the ninja's movement as they coordinated their attack masterfully, even giving a few glancing blow to Alex
Alex jump as a shuriken embedded to the ground and quickly releases his wrist blade to block a thrown kunai to his face
He landed and dash towards one of the ninja, as he tried to close the distance
He slash at the ninja's leg, slowing the ninja down as the other two delivered a downward slash prompting him to duck
He parried the second attempt and delivered a stab to the ninja's neck, killing the ninja immediately
Another one tried to swipe at him but he dodge and delivered body blows, a shuriken bounce off Alex's armor as two ninja close the gap
The first one tried to kick Alex but he side steps and stab the ninja in the chest

He move to the other one, which he briefly exchange punches and finishing the ninja with an elbow to the face knocking the ninja out
Alex took a few scans to check if there were others and when he found nothing, he gathered the ninjas and bound them together for some questioning
He tried to get the mask off but before he could even attempt to, they bit down on their fake tooth releasing a poison that killed them in the process
"Tsk...I forgot this buggers commit suicide" Alex grumbled as he then telepathically connect to Athena and said "Athena check for any surveillance in the area and do a check on Rand Enterprise, I just got attack by the hand"
"Okay Father" Athena replied as Alex once again look at the dead bodies on the ground, he can't help but feel a huge headache coming
"It seems like things are starting to derailed from the original timeline" he said as he tried to leave but a feeling of someone watching him halted his steps, he glared at the building a few kilometers away and grumble "Fuck.. they got me" he completely leave the area restoring the peace in the night
At the mentioned building, An old woman was sitting on a balcony with a telescope
She turned to the others in the room and said "Gather every info you have about him" the four kneeling people nodded and disappeared in the shadows
"He would pose a problem for my plans"
*******
"Got anything on the hand yet?" Alex ask Athena
"No, nothing yet Father" replied Athena
Alex now stood on top of the Building where the hand was observing him previously but when he got here they were already long gone
"But I did find traces of them in Rand Enterprise Father, Illegal trade agreements with Kingpin and other Mafia groups as they use Rand Enterprise to transport drugs and guns to the buyers before the disagreements" Athena said "I also got the evidence where Meachum embezzled money from the company to engineered the death of Mr. And Mrs. Rand"

"Hmm...any info on the other leaders? Especially Bakuto, do you know where he is now?" Alex ask Athena in which she replied "Yes, various sightings of cctv's suggest that his currently here on new york"
"That's odd, Two fingers in New York? That's a really bad sign" Alex thought as a blaring Alarm sounded from a bamk nearby

"Come on man Hurry up! The BloodBat going to be here any minute now!" said the criminal as he look left and right in panic
"Hahahaha!! Oh come on! you really believe in that crap! His not real dude and besides we're almost done!" another Criminal, he then called another criminal with them and said "Yo! Tweezer! Can you believe this shit, Bloodbat My ass! " the man called Tweezer laugh out loud and said "Hahaha Frank don't embarrass the rookie, it's his first time in the job after all!" Tweezer radioed their look out outside and ask "Yo! You see any cop out there?"
The look out man replied "Nah...man the police ain't h..zzZZzzzZ"
"What?! Yo! Are you still there!" Tweezer called out and when the look out didn't reply, he look towards his companions and said "Heads up something happen to the look out, I'm going out to check on him"
"I-it's t-the BloodBat his here" muttered the Rookie who was shaking and sweating profusely, The criminal named Frank becane nervous and shouted "for fuck sake! Bloodbat's not real -Arghhhhhh!!- what!? What was that!?" The two was alerted as they heard Tweezer shout in pain outside, they pointed their guns at the door and waited, after a minute of waiting a silhouette of Tweezer appeared outside and both of the criminal sigh in relief "Fuck what was that Tweezer!"
A Batarang flew and hit them in the arm
Prompting them to let go of their firearms "Arghhh!!" They both grunted in pain and saw Tweezer drop down as the BloodBat appeared with the infamous Blood red insignia behind him
"IT'S THE BLOODBAT!!!" the rookie shouted as he tried to run and scrambled for his gun, The bloodbat came dashing in and delivered a kick to his torso slamming him back to the wall "I'M BATMAN!"
The other criminal shouted a war cry before dashing in with a knife, Bloodbat block it with his wrist blade and slash the other one to cut it off "ArgHHh!!! MY HAND!!"
Police Siren's echoed outside signaling their arrival, Two police man came rushing in, in the front door "FREEZE!! BLOODBAT DROP YOUR WEAPON OR WE WILL SHOOT!"
"I'M BATMAN!" shouted Alex back
The rookie police tilted his head and ask "wait really? Batman? BloodBat seems way cooler for me 'SLAP!' aw! What was that for!"
The Senior Police glared at the rookie but then turned to Batman "BloodBat, Batman or whatever! You are under Arrest for Assault, Attempted Murder and Vigilantism!!"
Now it was Alex's turn to tilt his head and said "Vigilantism? I prefer Heroism and beside you can't catch me do you wanna know why?"
The rookie police replied "Why?"
"It's Because I'M BATMAN!" "What's the status" said someone who came in that made everone turn their head around
The senior Police reported "sir, we have the Dark Knight!" Which prompted a reply "Where!"
"Right there sir, Rig- what the fuck! Where'd he go!" The rookie Police said in confusion
"Argh!! He got away!" The senior Police grumbled then added "he was just there a few moments ago sir"
"Sigh!! Secure the criminals and get me the CCTV footage now!" Captain George Stacy shouted "Fuck the commissioner will not going to like this!"
At a rooftop not far away from the Bank, Alex stood as he watch the Police recover the unconscious criminals into the Police car he said "Sigh....the Old Police Hates Hero Cliche, They even got my name wrong"
Alex jump out of the rooftop and decided to turn in for the night

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.
