In his previous life, David Montgomery was a man of luxury—wealthy, successful, and living in a towering mansion that overlooked the city. A self-made millionaire, David had everything he could ever want, yet his heart remained empty. No matter how many businesses he built, how many vacations he took, or how many cars he drove, he couldn't fill the void in his life. All of his riches and power amounted to nothing when it came to the meaning of life itself.
But it all came crashing down one fateful night. As he lay on his deathbed, a sudden heart attack took him before he had a chance to even think about his regrets. His life ended in an instant, and all his material wealth was left behind, forgotten in the wake of his passing.
However, death wasn't the end. It was merely the beginning of something far stranger.
David awoke, not in the afterlife or some ethereal realm, but in the form of a creature unfamiliar to him. His body was no longer human, but small and bat-like, dark wings stretching out from his back, and his senses heightened beyond what he had ever known in his past life. He felt the sharp instinct of a creature designed to fly in the night, moving with a speed and grace he had never experienced before.
But before panic could take hold, a voice echoed in his mind.
[Welcome, Host. You have been reincarnated. You are the new form of the Bat, a creature born from the shadows. To assist in your journey, you have been granted the Gamer System. You will gain abilities and powers from a vast array of fictional universes. As a beginner, you are granted the following skills: Blood Manipulation and Muzan Kibutsuji's abilities. The path is yours to choose.]
David, now far from the rich man he once was, had no time to adjust to his new form before the system's interface appeared before his eyes. It was sleek, futuristic, and full of potential.
[System Log]
Blood Manipulation (Level 1): The ability to control and manipulate blood within living organisms. You can manipulate your own blood for combat or healing purposes, or control the blood of others to a limited extent. Muzan Kibutsuji's Abilities (Level 1): As the progenitor of demons, you can harness the power of Muzan Kibutsuji. This includes rapid regeneration, enhanced physical strength, and the ability to convert others into demon-like beings. You also possess an enhanced form of blood manipulation, granting the ability to control and alter your victim's blood to cause various effects.
The words flashed before him like a screen, and David couldn't help but stare in disbelief. He had been reborn into a bat and was now granted extraordinary abilities—powers from various fictional worlds, no less. But more importantly, these abilities had a terrifying undertone.
Blood Manipulation was a chilling power—David could feel it surge through him, the taste of power pulsing in his veins as he realized he could control the blood flowing within his own body. The possibilities were endless, from enhancing his physical capabilities to manipulating others with a mere thought. But then there was the darker gift—Muzan Kibutsuji's abilities. He could regenerate from injuries, grow stronger with each passing moment, and even turn others into creatures under his control.
David pondered his next steps. As a man used to wielding his wealth and influence in his previous life, he knew how to make use of power. But this was different. He had to learn the true limits of his abilities, understand his new world, and decide what kind of future he wanted to create from this new life.
Without hesitation, he flew into the night, his wings beating the air with ease, carrying him through the endless skies of his new world. The world beneath him was vast, filled with cities and forests, dark alleys and towering buildings. There were new challenges to face, new enemies to confront, and most importantly, new possibilities for domination.
But what would David become in this world? Would he use his abilities to conquer, to rule, to become the most powerful being to ever exist? Or would he seek redemption, realizing that his past life was but a shadow of true purpose?
Only time would tell as the Bat with the Gamer System soared above a new world, his destiny unfolding with every decision he made.
