American comic book: After mastering resurrection, I became incredibly popular.

Author: Emperor Wu of Jin

Summary:

"I'm guarding the grave in Gotham, what do you mean Bruce Wayne is dead? No problem, I'll handle it! Wait a minute, why did you resurrect the wrong person? You said you're also named Wayne, which Wayne are you?"

……

Standing before you now is Wang Baixi, the Grand Mage of the East, the Necromancer, the Executive Deputy Master of the Batcave, the Leader of the Penguin Gang, the One-Word King of the Wayne Family, the Lord of the Court of Owls, the CEO of America's Number One Cold Chain Company, an unofficial member of the Justice League, and the founder of the Dark Justice League! (He has not yet obtained any of these titles.)

(Readers who are not familiar with American comics are welcome to read this.)

(The protagonist's spells have cooldowns, and Batman is not resurrected until the middle of the first book. If you mind this, please proceed with caution, or you can skip it. The early part is the stage where the protagonist levels up and sets the stage.)

Chapter One: Wrong Person Reviveed (Impossible)

Bruce Wayne died yesterday. Or maybe the day before; Wang Baixi doesn't know.

He hadn't been sleeping well for the past two days. Damn Gotham seemed to have this kind of atmosphere, to the point that he felt something big was about to happen.

It could be the Joker, Bane, Killer Croc, Riddler... or something else entirely. If he reads more comics and watches more movies, he could name even more villains after time-traveling.

But now, he no longer has that opportunity.

After his painless immigration, his first job, or rather, his first job in life, was as a gravedigger at Gotham Cemetery. This meant he would never have the chance to ask the AI ​​again: "Doubao, how many girlfriends does Uncle Batman have?"

Furthermore, the fact that words like "Gotham" and "gravekeeper" are put together suggests that all the good things in human life are no longer relevant to him.

Fortunately, God also gave him the essential cheat code that a time traveler must have!

Right now, he's squatting by the door of the duty room, eating a sandwich, staring at the newly filled patch of earth not far away, pondering whether what he's about to do will change the course of history for the next five hundred years...

There lies the dead man, Gotham's richest, and his funeral was so grand it looked like a movie.

A black umbrella, a black suit...

The only thing missing was the black cloak.

If I remember correctly, Batman's death this time should be related to Bane, but in the original comics, he was only gay, right?

To be honest, Wang Baixi wasn't very familiar with the Batman universe. He had seen a few movies and read some comic book posts, but he knew that superheroes dying and coming back to life was a basic thing in this universe.

So when he saw Bruce Wayne's coffin being lowered into the coffin, he felt nothing, and even felt a little like laughing.

What's there to die about? He'll crawl out in a couple of days!

Even if the world line shifts, it will correct itself, right...?

But when that cheat code panel popped up in front of him, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Wang Baixi, the tomb keeper

[Level: 1]

[Skill: Deathrattle (Can hear the residual consciousness of non-human, undead objects within a 50-meter radius)]

Experience points: 113/200

In the past two weeks, he has accumulated more than 100 experience points by chatting with the corpses of crows and the remains of cats and dogs in the cemetery. The death murmurs of those little creatures are not very informative, and are nothing more than the barking of big dogs or the hissing of cats at humans.

But after Bruce Wayne's burial yesterday, something new popped up on the panel.

[High-level undead aura detected, experience points being calculated...]

[Experience points +100!]

Current experience points: 200/200

[Host has leveled up, career branch unlocked, please select advancement direction]

Two options appeared on his retina: one was called "Spirit Communicator," with the description "Choosing this branch allows you to communicate with the spirits of all things in the world"; the other was called "Soul Reaper," whose description was concise and powerful.

They can possess the [Resurrection] spell, which brings the dead back to life.

Resurrection Spell

Wang Baixi stared at those three words for a full half minute before choosing the latter without hesitation.

You have selected the career path: Necromancer

[Gained Skill: Resurrection]

[Skill Name: Resurrection]

[Level: LV.1]

[Skill Description: Can resurrect mortals who died within the last two hundred years]

[Note: Saving the dead is not without cost. Are you willing to pay with your life, magic, or time?]

[Warning: When this skill level is low, the resurrection process will be unpredictable. After successful resurrection, the target needs to be periodically injected with mana to maintain their vital signs.]

Current Mana: 30/30

[Single Mana Infusion Cost: 10 Mana Points]

Each resurrection costs 30 mana.

"good!"

The resurrection spell was a godsend for Wang Baixi. He had no relatives or friends in Gotham, was penniless, and was no different from most of the other people in the village; he could be killed at any moment.

But what if he could pull Bruce Wayne out of his coffin? Batman himself would naturally owe him a favor, and then he wouldn't have to worry about living in this godforsaken place.

Moreover, Gotham's order can be restored, and there's no need to worry about supervillains causing trouble and affecting the normal lives of ordinary people.

So, early this morning, he planned to start his operation after finishing his sandwich.

Taking advantage of the absence of people in the cemetery, he crept up to Bruce Wayne's tombstone in the dark and activated his skill on the brand-new granite.

"Rise, my Wayne!!"

The moment the magic was drained from his body, he felt a violent dizziness, a countdown timer for the resurrection spell popped up on the panel, and a dull tremor came from the ground.

Then Bruce Wayne's tombstone remained unmoved.

Wang Baixi was stunned for two seconds, "Huh? What's going on?"

Then, a loud bang suddenly came from thirty meters behind him, as if something had exploded from the ground!

Startled by the noise, he turned around abruptly and, by the light of the streetlamp, saw that a large patch of grass in another cemetery area had been overturned, with dirt and grass roots flying everywhere. He then saw a dark figure crawling out of the pit.

"Damn, this is a ghost!" Wang Baixi exclaimed, his eyes wide.

After thinking it over, he hurriedly ran over.

As he ran over, he almost tripped over a piece of turf that had been lifted up. His legs were weak and he felt lightheaded from the exhaustion caused by the depletion of his magic power.

Meanwhile, the man who crawled out of the pit, like Ethan Juan in "Zhou Chu Eliminates the Three Evils," was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

He was wearing a tattered 19th-century style coat, his beard was covered in dirt, and his hair was a mess like a bird's nest.

The man appeared to be between thirty and forty years old, with a muscular build like a bear. He was supporting himself on one hand while groping around on his chest with the other, seemingly trying to check for any wounds.

"Sir? Sir, are you alright?" Wang Baixi squatted down.

Who is this guy? Can you take him back?

If you can't send him back, don't let him die like that, otherwise his resurrection would have been for nothing!

The man looked up and then blurted out a string of heavily accented English.

Where am I?

“You are at Gotham Cemetery, sir.”

Judging from his location, it should be the Wayne family's cemetery area.

"A cemetery? Am I dead?"

"...To be precise, I've tricked you again."

"Cough cough... Damn bounty hunter..." The other person was panting heavily, then perked up a bit, "Um, kid, did Abraham Lincoln become president?"

At that moment, Wang Baixi's mind went blank.

Lincoln?

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the overturned tombstone. The granite was broken in two, but the words carved on it were still legible.

Joshua Wayne.

1828-1860.

Oh no, it seems he resurrected a different Wayne.

[Resurrection spell has taken effect]

[Target: Joshua Wayne]

[Date of death: 1860]

[Soul Strength: S]

[Current Status: Revived, requires first mana infusion within seven days]

[Skill experience points +10!]

……

On the way back to the duty room from the cemetery, Wang Baixi's mind was racing.

The man beside her looked around as they walked, his eyes filled with wariness and confusion. He paused for a moment when he saw the streetlights, but didn't ask anything. He just quickened his pace to keep up with Wang Baixi.

Dust kept falling from his coat pockets, and his leather shoes made a creaking sound with every step he took, but his posture was very standard, and his back was straight.

Well, if Wang Baixi's guess is correct, then this person should be one of Bruce Wayne's ancestors.
