Riverdale: IM Reggie
He woke up as Reggie Mantle — Riverdale High's varsity QB, walking punchline, the jock everyone underestimates — and he knew exactly how this town was going to kill everyone. The MANTLE system gave him something uglier than invincibility: a Mystery Vault crammed with canon crimes, dates, and names, every one of them ticking, and a Butterfly Decay clause that guarantees solving one murder early just births a worse one off-script. His Patronage Network runs through Mantle Motors — cops, mechanics, distributors — a quiet machine of favors and debts that a charming idiot like Reggie was never supposed to command. Town Dread Sense tells him when the corruption in the room is pointed at him; it doesn't tell him how to dodge it. Riverdale's mystery-appetite cannot be destroyed, only redirected, and the Core Four are already walking toward disasters he can see coming and they can't. The hardest part isn't surviving the town — it's surviving it as Reggie Mantle, mask on, playbook memorized, while something darker wears the letterman jacket from the inside.
