The "Empty Stomach" Debuff

## The "Empty Stomach" Debuff **Announcer:** "**ROUND ONE! LET'S RUMBLE!**" As the battle starts, a massive red icon flashes over the **Vampire**’s head: **DEBUFF: EMPTY STOMACH (-50% Strength, -80% Focus)**. **Vampire:** (Clutching his stomach) "Oh come on! Can I have a **snack break** first before I hunt you guys later? Fighting on an empty stomach is against the Villain Union rules!" **Superman:** (Floating cross-armed) "But why can’t you just... suck blood from us? We’re standing right here. It seems efficient." **Vampire:** (Backing away nervously) "Because you guys would **resist**! I doubt you’d just stand there while I sink my fangs in! Not to mention..." He points a trembling finger at **Supergirl** and **Harley Quinn**. "The **Clown Girl** with the **Sun Power** and you, **Cape Man**, give me a really bad feeling. It’s like you’re both batteries charged by the sun! One bite and I’d explode like a microwave burrito!" **Superman:** (Looking at Harley, confused) "Honestly, Harley suddenly gaining **Sun Power** like **Hamon** is pretty random to me too. Even *I* don’t know how that happened! One minute she’s quoting *JoJo*, the next she’s photosynthesizing!" **Harley Quinn:** (Glowing brighter) "Maybe it’s the **Isekai Magic**! Or maybe I just ate a really sunny breakfast! Who knows? **Moon Prism Power, MAKE UP!** ...Wait, wrong show! **SUNNY SMASH!**" **Vampire:** "See!? That’s exactly what I’m talking about! I’m calling my lawyer! This is workplace harassment!" ## The Vampire’s Great Escape As the **Vampire**’s health bar dips to 50%, he throws his hands up in surrender. **Vampire:** "That’s it! I’m out of here! I’m not going to fight on an empty stomach! It’s bad for my digestion!" **Harley Quinn:** (Stopping her mallet mid-swing) "So... will you drop a **treasure chest** then? Maybe a rare 'Sailor Suit' skin for Catwoman?" **Vampire:** (Scoffing as he backs toward the exit) "What? Noo! I’m just trying to run away! Why would *I* have a Sailor Suit!? I’m a vampire, not a magical girl boutique!" **Catwoman:** (Slumping her shoulders) "Disappointed. Again." **Vampire:** (Dodging a final swing) "Anyway... **I’ll get you next time, you meddling kids!**" He instantly transforms into a bat and zooms out of the dungeon. **Announcer:** "**THE VAMPIRE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! I mean... the battlefield! Victory by forfeit!**" **Superman:** (Looking around nervously) "Wait... is **Shaggy** going to be here next? You know, with a talking dog?" **Batman:** "Why are you so concerned?" **Superman:** "Well, I heard he went **villain arc**. You know that *Five Nights at Freddy’s* actor joke? Fans say he’s a killer because they made fun of the connection!" **Batman:** "Oh, that. Many fans said he’s a killer because of the meme. It’s just internet folklore." **Harley Quinn:** (Eyes lighting up) "You’re talking about **animatronics**? Since **AI** is getting so advanced, I wonder if we’ll have actual **Mecha Musume** like **KOS-MOS** in the future! I might cosplay as her one day! Imagine me with a built-in laser cannon and a cute skirt!" **Batman:** "Let’s just find the exit before the game spawns a 'Haunted Pizzeria' level."
