As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

The morning sunlight streamed through the wooden window frames, casting a slanting glow into the small room on the second floor of the photography studio, landing on the soft bedding and making one feel lazy and comfortable.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his chest heaving violently, and his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

The dark golden light of the Earth Emperor's belt exploded before his eyes. Kurosawa's sinister gaze, Momose's scarlet vertical pupils, Genda's brute force, and Zhuchuan's icy pincers—countless killing intents intertwined, trapping him firmly in the underground laboratory of Smart Brain Academy, rendering him immobile. A suffocating fear gripped his neck, and he only awoke with a start a split second before his consciousness plummeted into the abyss.

It took Lin Chen a while to fully recover and look around.

The room was furnished with warm yellow wallpaper, a simple bookshelf in the corner, a glass of slightly cool water on the table, and the bedding smelled of being dried in the sun—this was the room the photography studio had prepared for him, not that cold, oppressive school prison filled with surveillance and murderous intent.

Kurosawa and Lucky Four-Leaf Clover have been crushed into ashes by the Earth Emperor's Light Blade, leaving not even bone fragments.

Having figured this out, Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle softly, his laughter full of relief.

For the past six months, he has been on edge at the academy, feigning compliance during the day and training in seclusion at night, battling the fear of a shortened lifespan while also guarding against any unexpected accidents that might occur at any time.

He propped himself up and sat up, stretching his shoulders, his bones cracking slightly.

He whispered in his mind, "System."

A light blue virtual panel instantly unfolded before my eyes.

Ultimate Evolution System

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Race: Tiger-type Orphnoch (Complete Form)]

Core Attributes:

Physical fitness 43/118 (average human average 5)

Agility 35/107 (average human 5)

Spirit 37/82 (average human level 5)

Lifespan: 39 years

Evolution Points: 314

Yesterday, I killed Kurosawa and four executive-level Orphnochs, gaining a whopping 310 evolution points. Now I'm starting to regret killing Momose; I could have used her resurrection ability to exploit a bug and farm evolution points. But Momose is already dead.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chen allocated all 310 evolution points with a thought.

Invest 100 points into Constitution, 110 points into Agility, and the remaining 100 points into Spirit.

The properties panel refreshes instantly.

[Constitution: 53/133]

Agility: 46/123

[Spirit: 47/97]

Lifespan: 59 years

Evolution Points: 4

A gentle yet powerful warmth instantly swept through his limbs and bones. He clenched his fist, feeling even stronger.

What reassured him most was the bright red number in the lifespan column.

59 years.

From struggling to survive after his initial transmigration, to having only 13 years left to live after awakening the Orphnoch, and now having nearly 60 years left to live, the blade of death hanging over his head has finally been removed.

From now on, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will no longer need to worry about his lifespan. With the Earth Emperor's Belt in hand, he can easily crush most monsters. As long as he continues to hunt monsters and acquire evolution points, his attributes will only become stronger, and his lifespan will only increase.

The road home seems so close now.

After a quick wash, I went downstairs.

A faint aroma of bread and the smoky scent of fried eggs wafted from the living room on the first floor. Koei Jiro, wearing an apron, was placing the last plate of toast on the table. Seeing Lin Chen come downstairs, the old man smiled and waved, "Awake? Come and have breakfast, it's just been made."

"Thank you, Mr. Eijiro." Lin Chen stepped forward and thanked him politely.

On the table were fried eggs, toast, warm milk, and fresh fruit—simple yet heartwarming. This was only the second time in his fifteen years of travel that he had experienced such unreserved kindness, aside from the convenience store owner, Uncle Sato. There was no exploitation, no apprehension, only pure warmth.

Not long after, Hikari Natsumi came down from the second floor, rubbing her eyes. Seeing Lin Chen, she immediately flashed a bright smile: "Lin Chen, you're up so early! Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very good, thank you, Xia Hai."

"That's good!" Hikari Natsumi hopped down, picked up a slice of toast, took a bite, and mumbled, "Shi is probably still in bed. That guy always sleeps until the sun is high in the sky."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tsukasa Kadoya yawned and walked out of the inner room. He lazily pulled out a chair, sat down, took a sip of his milk, glanced at Lin Chen, and snorted irritably, "Hey, weirdo, you didn't do anything sneaky last night, did you?"

"If I were to try anything funny, you'd be lying on the ground by now," Lin Chen replied calmly.

Tsukasa Kadoya raised an eyebrow, about to retort, but was glared at by Natsumi Hikari: "Tsukasa! Don't bully Rin-kun! Eat your food properly!"

Tsukasa Kadoya shut his mouth sullenly, picked up the toast and took a big bite, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

Yusuke Onodera also came over, sat down quietly, and nodded slightly to Lin Chen as a greeting. The group sat around the dining table, the sunlight shining on them, chatting and laughing, without any fighting or scheming, only the simple joys of everyday life.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Chen picked up the milk and took a small sip, feeling a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

These days are wonderful.

A stable and peaceful life, with trustworthy companions and an environment where he doesn't have to be constantly on guard—this is the life he has longed for for the past fifteen years.

After breakfast, a group of people were discussing with newspapers: "[Unknown life forms have been attacking the city one after another; the Metropolitan Police Department has established a special task force to deal with the situation]."

The report was accompanied by blurry photos of a bizarrely shaped human covered in rough skin, moving swiftly and causing tremendous destruction, resulting in several civilian casualties.

"Unknown life forms? Have we returned to Onodera's world?" Hikari Natsumi said, looking at the newspaper.

"Who knows?" Tsukasa Kadoya put down his camera, his tone casual.

The group chatted casually about the newspaper articles, occasionally exchanging a few playful banter, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Lin Chen sat to the side, holding a cup of warm black tea, quietly watching their antics, a faint smile unconsciously playing on his lips.

Just then, Koeijiro turned on the television, which was broadcasting a report about an unknown life form attacking humans.

Everyone immediately gathered around the television.

The screen was showing a live broadcast, the camera focused on a square in the city center. A large number of police cars surrounded the square, their lights flashing. Outside the police cordon, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered. The reporter, holding a microphone, nervously reported: "Currently, the unknown life form has been surrounded by the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Countermeasures Team. It is understood that the team will use the newly developed armored system to suppress it..."

The camera then pans to the center of the encirclement.

A strange man of normal human size has been surrounded.

Opposite the strange man, several police officers in specially made combat suits were on high alert, and a blue armored man walked into the frame.

The armor features sharp lines that cover the entire body. The head is a square helmet, and the chest is marked with a prominent "G3-X" logo. Heavy weapons are mounted on the arms and legs, giving it a mechanical and technological feel. It is the artificially developed Kamen Rider G3-X armor.

Lin Chen's eyes brightened slightly.

G3-X system!

He recognized it at a glance: it was an artificial Rider Armor developed by humans in the world of "Kamen Rider Agito" to fight against the Unknown. Although it was a mass-produced artificial armor and its strength was far inferior to that of natural Riders, it was still an important force for humanity in fighting monsters using technology.

It seems that Tsukasa Kadoya's dimensional barrier brought them to the world of Agito.

A hint of anticipation rose in Lin Chen's heart.

It's another world full of weirdos, which means there are plenty of evolution points to harvest.

On the screen, the wearer of the G3-X armor was clearly unable to operate it perfectly; his movements were stiff and clumsy, his steps were unsteady, and he almost fell, drawing gasps from the audience.

Upon seeing the unknown life form rushing towards it, G3-X grabbed a nearby police car and threw it at the life form.

The car flew through the air in an arc before crashing heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

Hikari Natsumi couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! This armor is incredibly strong!"

Lin Chen was not surprised.

The G3-X armor was developed to counter the Unknown, which possesses a force of tens of tons. Its basic strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, and flipping over a small car is just a basic operation. It's just that the wearer lacked experience and couldn't fully utilize the armor's capabilities.

The ensuing battles were even more unpredictable.

The wearer took out a chainsaw-shaped weapon and engaged in close combat with the unknown life form, but all of it was dodged. Then, the wearer raised his hand and lifted the GG-05 Vulcan cannon, unleashing a barrage of bullets that accurately struck the unknown life form.

Sparks flew as the unknown life form spread its wings in an attempt to escape, only to be blasted apart.

"It's a success!"

Off-screen, Hikari Natsumi clapped and cheered excitedly, while Kadoya Tsukasa raised an eyebrow, looking indifferent. Only Onodera Yusuke stared intently at a fleeting figure on the TV screen, his whole body trembling, his eyes widening, his face filled with unbelievable surprise.

It was a woman in the uniform of the countermeasures team; just a fleeting glance was enough to make Onodera freeze in place.

"Sister...Sister..."

Onodera muttered to himself, his voice trembling, as he suddenly lunged at the television, his face almost pressed against the screen. His hands gripped the frame tightly, his whole body shaking with excitement, "It's my sister!"

Just then, a small, pure white bat fluttered its wings and landed in front of Onodera, asking in a deep, magnetic voice...

Onodera was so excited to see his "older sister" that he ignored the little bat and instinctively raised his hand to slap it away.

"Ouch!" The little bat crashed right into the wall.

Hikari Natsumi cupped the sobbing little bat in her hands and told the story of Onodera and his sister.

Lin Chen stood aside, listening quietly, feeling quite emotional.

He had experienced the pain of losing a loved one when he first transmigrated. In this world without a hometown or relatives, Onodera found solace in this similar figure, which was a kind of comfort, as he entrusted his longing for his sister to her.

Before anyone could say anything, Onodera suddenly snapped out of it, his eyes hardening, and turned to rush out the door: "I'm going to find her! I'm going to find my sister!"

"Hey! Onodera! Wait a minute!" Upon seeing this, Tsukasa Kadoya immediately got up and chased after her. He knew very well that Yashiro in this world was not Onodera's biological older sister, and rushing forward would only cause trouble.

"Don't run so fast! Wait for me!" Hikari grabbed her coat and hurriedly followed.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Chen and Kōei Jirō remained in the living room.

Kōei Jirō watched the group run off and smiled helplessly: "These kids, always so impulsive."

Lin Chen put down his teacup and stood up: "Mr. Eijiro, I'll go out and take a look too."

"Okay, be careful and come back soon," Koei Jiro instructed.

"I see."
