A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, no, no, don't do this, don't play like this!"

He began searching everywhere for the coin, praying that it was still there, but he couldn't find it no matter what he did. Well, it was already inside his body after all.

There was nothing Jiang Yang could do but accept the fact that he now had a Core Medal inside him. This was truly incredible; he wondered if he had really become a Greedy One.

To become a monster that lives on human desires, to become a monster without a sense of taste—I don't want that!

It wasn't until half an hour later that he calmed down, because he saw the detailed information about the blank core coin. It was on the second page; he was too impatient to notice the page-turning option.

According to the detailed information, this thing is indeed a core coin, but it is a special coin manufactured by the system. Unlike ordinary core coins, there is only one of these coins, so its effect is not enough to turn people into greedy people.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wouldn't turn into a monster.

The coin's effect is to absorb the host's desires and then transform them into energy to feed back to the host; simply put, it continuously strengthens Jiang Yang's body.

When the coin is filled with desire, it will awaken a mysterious power. Jiang Yang doesn't know what this power is; it's not mentioned in the description.

As for the note, something about imagining me, getting closer to me, becoming me, it wasn't in the instructions, and Jiang Yang didn't understand what it meant. In short, it seems that the coin is not harmful to him at the moment.

This really relieved him.

I thought the system was going to kill me.

He couldn't see what the prizes on the spinning wheel were, but now it seems that many of them are things that didn't exist in the original storyline, and probably not all of them are good. He'll have to be careful in the future.

After relaxing, Jiang Yang took out his notebook. He was going to organize the plot of Faiz and write down the important parts while he had a lot of ideas, so he wouldn't forget them later.

Of course, this notebook is usually kept in the system inventory and is not taken out, so there is no need to worry about losing it or it being discovered by people in this world.

It was very late when Jiang Yang finished writing out the general direction of the plot and made a rough relationship diagram for the important characters in the plot. This was the part that took the most time.

The relationships in Faiz are truly a mess, an absolute mess.

Today's friend, tomorrow's enemy, the day after tomorrow lovers, and then enemies again.

There's no shortage of melodramatic clichés; it's all typical Min-style storytelling. But thankfully, at least one storyline is somewhat manageable.

In comparison, the relationships in Kiva are ridiculously messy; without considering the story of Akane Otoya's era, it's impossible to understand them.

Jiang Yang highlighted several people in the relationship diagram.

Gan Qiao, Kiba Yuji, Soga Masato, Kimura Saya.

Qiao Ye and Xiao Ma Ge are the main characters of the story and also excellent fighters. They just need to manage their relationship well, or rather, make sure they talk things out.

The key is Soka. How can we prevent Soka from causing trouble in the middle and ensure that he survives and participates in the battle at the end? That's the question.

Then there's Kimura Saya, Jiang Yang's designated Delta belt holder.

According to Truth, the strongest and gentlest child in Meteor Academy, even after possessing Delta for a long time in the story, did not become addicted to its power, but instead adhered to his original intention.

Delta can also exert a very strong combat power in her hands, so it is best for her to hold Delta.

According to the original plot, Saya would be killed by the beast Sawada, and the belt would eventually end up in Mihara's hands.

Mihara Kyuuji is timid and dislikes fighting, but because of this, he hasn't lost himself in Delta's power. However, correspondingly, he hasn't been able to unleash Delta's full potential.

Although his growth rate was astonishing in the later stages, it was still the later stages. No matter how fast he grew, he couldn't match the strength of the enemy's higher-ups. In addition, with the death of Little Marco after his corruption and the death of Kusaka, his combat power was insufficient for a period of time in the later stages.

Jiang Yang wasn't sure how long he would stay in this world, so just in case, he needed to maximize the preservation of the world's living forces.

In case we still have to face King Orphnoch in the end, having more power will increase our chances of winning.

Even if he isn't the king, having a powerful ally can reduce a lot of problems, and at least it can restrain Kitasaki before the explosion occurs.

However, Saya's appearance is still some time away, so let's not rush, we'll take it one at a time.

First, build a good relationship with Kou and gain Faiz's trust, then get to Kiba Yuji.

The next day, Jiang Yang left home very early. He had made an appointment with his boss yesterday to go work today, and of course, he would be paid.

On the road, Jiangyang's Zhan Shi successfully attracted the attention of the traffic police. The traffic police officer on the motorcycle shouted for him to stop and show his driver's license, as well as some kind of vehicle production certificate or something else.

In short, it's a troublesome matter, and Jiang Yang hates trouble, so, you give it to Lu Da! (Runs away)

How could a police patrol car of this era possibly outrun its own War Lion?

When he arrived at the store, it was already open for business. The owner smiled when he saw Jiang Yang.

"Then, please take good care of me today."

After changing into his work uniform, Jiang Yang became a waiter.

Although the store is small, it's not surprising that there's a waiter.

As a waiter, Jiang Yang's job is to greet guests, guide them to their seats, and assist them with taking orders.

It's not difficult; as long as the guest isn't a strange person, it can be done easily.

As for what kind of person is considered a strange person, for example, there's a guy who sits down and orders food. He says he wants a tuna sushi, a saury, and black dragon wine for his drink.

Jiang Yang almost pulled out his IXA Holy Sword and chopped this guy to pieces. What did these things have to do with the coffee shop? Forget the earlier stuff, Jiang Yang didn't even know what Black Dragon Wine was.

In the end, the boss apologized to the person and then sent them away.

Jiang Yang later learned that this guy was just looking for trouble. Although he didn't know who the employer was, well, he could guess that.

In a while, a new upscale coffee shop will open in the vicinity, and these old shops will be an obstacle for that shop.

Jiang Yang didn't say anything. He couldn't help with this kind of thing. The boss had also said that today would be his last day of opening the shop. Since the owner had made up his mind, then he, as a customer, shouldn't do anything unnecessary.

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Yang noticed that there weren't many customers coming to the store, which was probably why the store manager wasn't planning to continue operating the store.

Around noon, a guy who looked remarkably like Hu Ge walked in.

Jiang Yang had wanted to complain when he first saw Qiao Ye and the other two. Although this world was the real world, it was a real world recreated in the style of a TV show.

So all of these people look exactly like actors. Among them, the person in front of us looks very much like Hu Ge and is called Hu Ge from tokusatsu dramas by many fans.

Of course, those are just jokes. The person in front of me, his identity, is Kaido Naoya, a fallen genius.

One person whose luck is really not good.

"Boss, same old thing."

Haitang seems to know the owner; perhaps he comes here often. It should be a happy thing to have a familiar friend come on the last day of opening the shop.

But now the boss is in a dilemma.

He looked at Jiang Yang, seemingly wanting to ask what to do.

Jiang Yang nodded and told the boss to do the same as always.

"You're new here?"

Jiang Yang shook his head.

"To help."

"Today is my last day of business, and he came to help out."

"What? Why are they suddenly closing down? The owner's cooking is so good, it's such a waste."

"I didn't want to either, but there are always things that can't be done as we wish. Consider this meal on my behalf, just like before, right?"

"Really? Thanks!"

Jiang Yang could tell that Haitang's smile was somewhat forced. He had never gotten over that incident. His lifelong dream had been destroyed in an instant. Jiang Yang had never understood this feeling, but just thinking about it made him realize how desperate it must have been.

In fact, Jiang Yang could have chosen to let Haitang leave, so that he could live as a human, even if he continued to sink into depravity, he would still be human.

But he didn't do that.
