Chapter I - The Shadow of Gotham Falls

Night time. A period in the day where everything goes dark and where the true colors of a city of a specific nation starts to show its imperfections especially when it relates to a plague consuming our world's nations. This plague is referred to as: crime, no one is safe from it and anyone can be a victim to it whether it would be innocents just minding their own business, the protectors who are referred to as law enforcement whose job is to maintain and protect the security of each and every city building every foundation for a specific nation. However, one such city that is currently on life support due to this plague is Gotham City. A city whose legacy is infamous for its high crime rates where most of its crimes involve murder where every innoncent's lives are taken by its most twisted, deranged, inhuman and demented criminals from its criminal underworld. The man protecting this city has his legacy too. His name is Bruce Wayne, the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne who were murdered on that fateful night. The death of his parents fueled his desire for vengeance against those who plague the very bowels of Gotham. He has spent each and every fortune of his father's company to evolve into his alter ego now infamously known as the Batman by the criminal underworld of Gotham City. Every night, no one is safe from the gangs that run the streets of Gotham but they are never safe from this vengeful being who delivers his unorthodox version of what he personally refers to as justice. For some, Batman is considered as mentally insane and unstable caused by that fateful night but to others he is referred to the "guardian of Gotham City" which has started the man and the legend known by these names:

TOKYO, JAPAN

"Good evening, Master Bruce. I hope everything is going well for you especially when it comes to showing particular interest on a case that has been the talk of the news worldwide as of late. It would seem that our suspect has to do with a string of murders involving the disappearances and murder of detectives.", a voice spoke in the intercom of a mysterious dark figure who can be best compared to Mothman but as a humanoid version of a bat. He replied, "The victims are particularly students of a prestigious school that trains them to become armed detectives known here in Japan as Butei. This is also a school that trains detectives to be mercenaries who are called to perform specific tasks on their respective task boards. However, we are not investigating on that because a killer is on the loose right now. Our first lead should be right in this city, Alfred. I will tag this lead if I managed to complete my investigation within this city.". Alfred also replied, "I will keep that in mind, Master Bruce. According to my research about this school, there are some students who have alignments to particular figures in history too. One of which is connected to the school's founder, sir. There is another student who is connected to the world's famous thief, it is ironic that a student in this school is connected to a criminal.". Bruce replied, "Reminds me of the very old days, back then. Things are starting to get interesting.". Alfred ends the conversation with, "Very well, sir.". The figure then jumps down the building and then glides his way to his first crime scene in the cities of Tokyo. As he glides, he looks below the streets of Tokyo remembering how far he has gone from investigating and fighting crime in Gotham to investigating a crime that is creating wildfire in world news as of late. He sees a school which is one hour away to closing time and presumes that this is the Butei school he needs to be infiltrating so he could begin investigation on the cold case surrounding who the Butei Killer is.
