I'm in a Kamen Rider group, and I've joined a tokusatsu chat group.

Chapter 1 Joining the Tokusatsu Chat Group

The sky was shrouded in a heavy, gloomy layer of clouds, with an endless expanse of gray covering the entire canopy.

Fine rain fell like silver threads, gradually wetting the buildings on both sides of the street and revealing the stone bricks and water stains that had been covered up.

Water droplets stubbornly flowed down the windowpane, one by one, making a faint "drip-drip" sound.

Sitting by the door, Dongye Lin looked at the raindrops splashing on the ground, his face somewhat pale.

"I must be one of the more unfortunate transmigrators who ended up in a tokusatsu (special effects) world..."

Higashino stared blankly at his hands. His skin was dry and shriveled, lacking natural color. It was only a dull, sallow yellow, like a piece of oiled paper skin that had been dead for many years, without any elasticity.

A year ago, he was transported to this world of knights.

At first, he was full of passion!
I want to obtain the knight's belt and become the protagonist in the novel.

But... once he learned about this world, he realized how terrifying it was.

The world of film!

The name of this world.

In this world, strange people rule.

And above the monster's head, there's a Kamen Rider...

And these so-called Kamen Riders rule over the monsters!

Rather than calling them Kamen Riders, it's more accurate to refer to them by their full name—Dark Knights.

A dark Kamen Rider transformed from a monster…

Within a year, he, Higashino Rin, experienced many escapes, both large and small.

Throughout the year, they were often hungry, cold, and sleepy.

My health is deteriorating day by day.

If this continues, he might become a transmigrator who dies in the tokusatsu world.

When others are transported to the world of tokusatsu (special effects) shows, they start with either the power of Oma Zi-O or the power of all Kamen Riders.

What kind of overpowered protagonist plot is this?!

What about him?

I did time travel, but…

Ha ha…

Nothing!

They even traveled to a world where humanity is the enemy of the world – a world of negatives.

To become a plaything of the strange man in the world of film.

A drama of prey and hunter unfolds.

However, this kind of game won't last long.

After all, right now... these Dark Knights of the Negative World have not yet found the treasure hidden in this world.

The search for that treasure requires humans; otherwise, given the number of strange people in this world, finding the treasure would be nothing but a joke.

Therefore, the Dark Knight also wants to rely on humans to find the world's treasures.

So... for now, they still treat humans as objects of exploitation, but once... they find them...

The remaining humans in this negative world are probably...

With his arms hanging down, Higashino leaned against the door frame, a sense of powerlessness washing over him.

I don't know how much longer this kind of life will continue.

At the same time, he didn't know how much longer he could hold on.

The future seems unattainable for those living in this world shrouded in gloom.

No one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

Sometimes, the companions you spend every day with, who are laughing and talking about the future of the world today, may become corpses tomorrow.

Your bedmate or close friend may turn into a monster and take your life.

Humans living in this negative world have no future whatsoever.

Just like in the original story, after Tsukasa Kadoya and the others left this negative world.

Faced with monsters and the Dark Knight, the remaining humans in this world are destined for extinction.

Just like that vanished paradise, the surviving humans either became Orphnochs or perished in history, leaving them only with a tragic end.

[Ding! The Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group has detected that you possess dimensional power. Do you wish to join the chat group?!]

A voice rang in my mind!
Higashino suddenly opened his eyes and warily looked around.

Nobody…

Having survived a year in this world of photographic negatives, Higashino Rin was constantly on edge.

Once he lets his guard down, he will be met with an abyss.

Chased by a strange man, they are forced to flee.

[Ding! The Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group has detected that you possess dimensional power. Do you wish to join the chat group?!]

The emotionless, mechanical voice echoed in his mind once more: "Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group..."

Higashino Rin's body trembled involuntarily.

It’s been a year!

A whole year!
Do you know how I spent this year?!
A hint of excitement appeared on Higashino Rin's face. "Join!"

[Ding! The fugitive from the film world has joined the dimensional tokusatsu chat group!]

A flash of light appeared before my eyes, and the familiar chat group interface came into view.

[Ding! The Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group aims to connect the tokusatsu world, allowing members to help each other and move forward together... For the rest, please read the chat group announcement.]

Seeing the function of this special effects chat group, Higashino Rin murmured, "Then... can I leave this film world through the chat group?!"

Thinking of this, Higashino Rin couldn't help but get excited.

He's had enough!

All he wants now is a peaceful life!

He couldn't stay in this world of film for even a day longer.

Go to hell!

This world of film can be occupied by whoever wants it!

He, Higashino Rin, only wanted to run away.

[Ding! Pork bone soup has been added to the Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group!]

[Ding! Heisei Life-Saving King has joined the Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group!]

[Ding! The Civil War God of Phantoms, Bei Sanshui, has joined the Dimensional Tokusatsu Chat Group!]

……

Higashino Rin was taken aback when he saw the message that appeared on the chat group interface.

Pork bones boiled into soup?!

It seems to be Daigo Madoka?
This... the Giant of Light has even come in, isn't that a bit like cheating?
Given the size of the Giant of Light, who would dare to touch him?
For a moment, the entire chat group was very quiet.

Apart from the information about previous group members joining the chat group, the entire chat group interface is very clean.

They're all diving.

Unfamiliar interfaces and complex technologies always require time to adapt to.

Moreover, this interface is very similar to a penguin chat interface that Higashino Rin used before.

Has this penguin's business expanded into the multiverse?
Looking at the familiar interface before him, Higashino Rin couldn't help but feel a little absurd.

However, since we've already traveled through time, this is acceptable.

Then, Higashino Rin's gaze fell upon the chat group's announcements. The most important thing now was to thoroughly understand this chat group and see if it was similar to the chat group novels he had read before.

Welcome to the Tokusatsu (special effects) chat group! Our purpose is to address the many regrets arising from various tokusatsu worlds!

Tiga World, TPC Base Training Room
Not long after completing his shooting training, Daigo Madoka heard the voice of the special effects chat group.

The sudden sound startled Daigo Madoka, and he inexplicably chose to join in.

Looking at the simple chat group interface, Yuan Dagu was full of doubts.

Is this for chatting?
The interface and the chat software he used did have some similarities.

But what kind of technology is this?

It actually came to mind.

Alien technology?

Recalling the alien spaceship that appeared three years ago, Daigo's thoughts began to wander.

Such a sci-fi thing is beyond the capabilities of current technology.

"Should we go and see Ye Rui?"

Daigo muttered to himself.

In terms of electronics, he is no match for Ye Rui, the eighteen-year-old computer genius.

Perhaps what comes to mind can be explained by science.

In this universe, there are not only Earthlings, but also a group of beings with exceptional intelligence.

Perhaps this is some kind of experiment by extraterrestrial beings.

However, by sheer coincidence, he, a member of the TPC, was chosen.
