A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

The most urgent task is to determine which world you are currently in, and then consider what your next step should be.

The process of traveling through time requires fighting and winning. In the world of Faiz, this means that you need to defeat the Orphnoch to gain progress and eventually leave this world.

If it were the original TV world, that would be fine. The Orphnoch density isn't high, so I could take it slow and fight them one by one. As long as I don't encounter those few monsters, I should be fine.

If it were the movie *Paradise Lost*, although there would be enough Orphnochs, there would be far too many, and I would most likely be overwhelmed by their numbers.

To determine which world it is, staying at home won't do; we still need to go out.

Jiang Yang is currently living in an old rental house in Tokyo. The rent is not high and the environment is acceptable. He does not plan to move for the time being.

He did not take out the War Lion. The War Lion's appearance was too eye-catching, and he felt it was better to keep a low profile before the current situation was confirmed.

Remember the name of the location of your rental property to avoid getting lost if you wander too far.

"It's no wonder it was 03."

The impression Jiang Yang got from the street was that it was old, too old. It was 2003, which was 21 years after he was born in 2004. Any longer and it would have been enough time to film a Kamen Rider Kiva movie.

The architectural style is indeed different from modern styles.

Along the way, Jiang Yang kept an eye on passersby, occasionally sneaking up to eavesdrop on conversations. If he was discovered, he would pretend to be asking for directions.

It seems to be because of the system that he can speak Japanese fluently even though he has never studied it.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Sato. Are you here to buy fish? They were just caught this morning and they're very fresh. Come to think of it, I haven't seen you much lately."

"Mr. Kimura, it's been a long time. Well, my sister had some trouble a while ago, so I went to help her out for a bit."

"Something's happened, could it be..."

"No, no one is missing. Well, it's like this: thirteen people, including my sister's daughter, are dead, and the killer hasn't been found yet. I was worried about my sister, so I went to take care of her for a while."

After listening for a while and getting a general idea of ​​what had happened, Jiang Yang walked away.

If he's not mistaken, the deaths here were all orchestrated by Nagata Yuka. Yuka, who had been bullied for years, froze to death on the steps one winter day and then transformed into an Orphnoch.

She hadn't originally planned to retaliate, but these people had gone too far.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, she killed everyone who had bullied her, including her adoptive parents.

Not only that, Nagata Yuka went on to kill quite a few people, though they were all villains.

Whether Jiehua is a good person or a bad person, Jiang Yang himself couldn't say for sure.

However, Jiang Yang was fairly certain that this world was the TV world of Kamen Rider Faiz. Of course, this was just a guess, since it was too early in the story. If it were a movie, the war would probably be starting soon.

What's noteworthy is that he overheard many conversations along the way mentioning missing persons and strange sand.

The existence of Orphino is not entirely secretive. Even with the cover-up by the AI ​​Corporation, many traces are inevitably left behind, as well as eyewitnesses.

However, to most people, this is just an urban legend.

"Not bad luck."

Jiang Yang was talking about himself. It's undeniable that his first world was faizTV, and he was really lucky.

Although there are Orphnochs in this world, their numbers are not particularly large, and there won't be any situation where a large number of them are maliciously gathered together at once.

Based on ixa's data, it is sufficient to handle most orphinos.

It's worth noting that even Faiz, with the lowest base stats, can handle most Orphnochs, and Ixa's stats are even higher than Faiz's. Of course, this is conditional on having higher upper body punching power.

The IXA system's fighting style is based on using the Ixa Holy Sword as its primary weapon, emphasizing upper limb strength. Consequently, its kicking power is weaker than that of ordinary knights.

Even in Burst Mode, its kicking power is weaker than Faiz's. However, its stats are significantly higher in Ascendant Mode.

However, those who know about Kamen Rider's stats understand; just take them with a grain of salt. Their actual combat effectiveness depends on their performance in real battles.

Another reason is the equipment. Faiz can deal with most Orphnochs, largely because of its diverse equipment, with corresponding equipment available for various situations.

Only laymen would use data to represent the fighting power of Kamen Riders.

"Your driver's license has been revoked and you can't ride a motorcycle anymore. As a citizen, I have a duty to report you to the police. They've already said it's not allowed!"

"It's okay until the notification arrives!"

"Ha, what are you talking about? One must learn self-discipline!"

As Jiang Yang passed an intersection, he heard a commotion. He turned around and saw three people arguing in front of a motorcycle.

The distance was a bit far, and the three people had their backs to Jiang Yang, so he couldn't see their faces clearly, but he could clearly see the name of the shop behind them: Western Laundry.

In this way, he could roughly guess the identities of these three people.

These three should be Mari Taniguchi, Takumi Inui, and Keitaro Kikuchi.

According to the original plot, Mari and Takumi meet Keitaro and then travel to Tokyo together. Coincidentally, Keitaro's family owns a laundromat in the area. Mari and Takumi stay at Keitaro's house.

It seems that Qiaoye's driver's license has been revoked for speeding on his bicycle.

Faiz's Wonderful Little Classroom reminds everyone that for your safety, please follow traffic control regulations.

Seeing from afar that the three seemed to have finished arguing and returned to the store, Jiang Yang then decided to go over, intending to make some early contact with the main characters.

Well, while interacting with the protagonist increases the probability of encountering danger, you can also get their help when you do encounter danger.

Everyone will eventually reach a point where they are powerless, and there are many benefits to interacting with them.

Building good relationships beforehand can also prepare for changes in the plot later on.

Who knows how long he'll stay in this world? What if it's a long time from now? Jiang Yang doesn't want to experience those stomach-churning scenarios in reality.

We should make plans as soon as possible.

"welcome!"

Before even entering, he heard a welcoming greeting, which puzzled Jiang Yang. Did the other party anticipate his arrival?

Upon closer listening, it turned out that that wasn't the case at all.

Because Takumi's driver's license was revoked and he had to pay a fine, but he hadn't worked for a long time, where would he get so much money? He could only borrow from Mari, and then Mari borrowed from Keitaro.

Then, in order to pay off his debts, Qiaoye had no choice but to start working at the laundromat.

They are now teaching him how to greet guests.

"Cough cough."

Clear your throat and knock on the door to make a noise that will attract attention.

"coming."

Soon, a young man dressed in white with delicate features came out.
