Chapter 25

Haruka retreated to the solace of his bedroom, his weary body sinking into the plush mattress. With a heavy sigh, he summoned the floating blue screen of Ada, his AI companion, eager to review the rewards he had earned from his recent missions.

Haruka glanced at the floating blue screen, his eyes scanning the information displayed. "Ada, show me what rewards I've earned," he said, his voice tinged with fatigue.

[Congratulations, host, for completing "Destroy 3 criminal hideouts." and "Urgent Mission: A bounty was put on your head. Survive and apprehend the person who placed the bounty."

Rewards: 1500 points, 3 gacha draws

Would you like to use the gacha draws?]

Haruka nodded, his weary eyes fixed on the floating blue screen. "Yes, I'll use the gacha draws," he replied, a hint of curiosity creeping into his voice.

The blue screen began a spinning roulette animation, the colors and shapes blurring together as it whirred to life. Haruka watched intently, his fingers drumming lightly against the mattress as he waited to see what the system had in store for him.

[Shift Car Mad Doctor: A Shift Car from Kamen Rider Drive. It is a sentient vehicle with the ability to heal injuries and most poisons.]

Haruka looked at the Shift Car Mad Doctor, his weary eyes studying the small toy-like vehicle. The white body and red lights resembled an ambulance, and Haruka couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over him. Having a reliable way to heal his injuries would be invaluable, especially given the dangers he faced as the Kamen Rider.

Gently, he reached out and picked up the Shift Car, cradling it in the palm of his hand. To his surprise, the tiny vehicle sprang to life, creating special tracks that hovered in the air. Haruka watched in awe as Mad Doctor drove around him, honking softly.

"Hello, Mad Doctor," Haruka said, his voice soft and warm. "I'll be relying on you to help me with my injuries from now on."

The Shift Car honked happily in response, as if acknowledging Haruka's words. Haruka couldn't help but feel a sense of reassurance wash over him. With this new ally at his side, he knew he would be better equipped to handle the challenges that lay ahead.

Haruka gently placed Mad Doctor back on the palm of his hand, marveling at the tiny vehicle's capabilities.

Haruka continued to focus on the spinning roulette animation, his eyes fixed intently on the display. The anticipation built within him as he waited to see what other rewards the system had in store.

The roulette finally slowed to a stop, revealing the next item. Haruka's eyes widened with excitement as he read the description.

[A.I.M.S. Shotriser: From Kamen Rider Zero-One. The Shotriser was developed by the Artificial Intelligence Military Service (A.I.M.S.); this transformation device enhances the human body by incorporating abilities from various living organisms using data from Progrisekeys. Additionally, it functions as a firearm.]

Haruka was surprised by his next reward. It was the Shotriser from Kamen Rider Zero-One - a gun and transformation device used by Kamen Rider Vulcan and Kamen Rider Valkyrie. The Shotriser featured a sleek, gunmetal gray body with neon blue LED accents, highlighting its futuristic and tactical nature.

Haruka took out the gun and inspected it. It felt real and heavy like a real firearm. He turned it over in his hands, admiring the intricate details. "This is incredible," he murmured, his fingers tracing the contours of the device.

Haruka knew the power that came with wielding such a weapon. He had seen the Kamen Riders of Zero-One in action, their Shotrisers allowing them to transform and fight against formidable foes. Now, he held this same device in his own hands, a testament to the faith the system had placed in him.

"Ada," Haruka called out, his eyes never leaving the Shotriser. "What else can this device do?"

[The Shotriser is a versatile transformation device that also functions as a firearm. It can be used to access various Progrisekey abilities, granting the user enhanced strength, speed, and specialized combat skills.]

Haruka's brow furrowed as he listened to Ada's explanation. The implications of wielding such a powerful tool were not lost on him.

Haruka looked down at the Shotriser, his fingers running along its sleek surface. "Ada, how do I reload this?" he asked, his brow furrowed in curiosity.

[The Shotriser does not require reloading, host. It is powered by a self-sustaining energy source and can be used indefinitely without the need to reload ammunition.]

Haruka's eyes widened with relief. "That's good to know," he said, feeling a sense of reassurance wash over him. The idea of having a firearm that never needed to be reloaded was a significant advantage, especially in the heat of battle.

"Ada, can you show me the list of Progrisekeys available for the Shotriser?" Haruka asked, his grip tightening around the transformation device. He was eager to learn more about the additional capabilities it could provide.

The floating blue screen flickered, and a list of Progrisekeys began to appear, each one displaying a unique icon and name.

[Here is the list of Progrisekeys compatible with the Shotriser, host :)]

[Points: 1550

Haruka's brow furrowed as he scrolled through the list of Progrisekeys on the floating blue screen. His fingers tightened around the Shotriser, the sleek metal device a testament to the power it wielded. However, as he scanned the prices, his heart sank.

"1550 points..." Haruka murmured, his gaze flicking from one expensive Progrisekey to the next. "I don't have enough for any of the standard ones."

He let out a heavy sigh, his shoulders slumping slightly. The Shotriser was an impressive tool, but without the proper Progrisekeys, its full potential would remain untapped. Haruka couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment.

Shifting his grip on the transformation device, Haruka's eyes narrowed in determination. "Well, I can still use the Shotriser as a firearm," he said to himself, a hint of resolve in his voice. "That should still be useful, especially with my Amazon Omega form's limited long-range capabilities."

[Don't worry, host. All you have to do is do more missions.]

Haruka stared at the floating blue screen, his expression unreadable. The list of expensive Progrisekeys felt like a taunt, a reminder of how little he had to work with. He clenched his jaw, the Shotriser gripped tightly in his hand.

[Would you like to use the last gacha draw host :)]

Haruka sighs. "Just do it."

The blue screen rolled the roulette again, the colors and shapes blurring together as Haruka watched with bated breath. He gripped the Shotriser tightly, his heart pounding in anticipation.

The roulette finally slowed to a stop, and Haruka's eyes widened as the result appeared on the screen.

[Congratulations, host! You have received The Trapping Spider Progrisekey.]

Haruka stared in awe at the Trapping Spider Progrisekey that had materialized on the floating blue screen. It was a small, rectangular device, measuring approximately 70 mm in height, 152 mm in width, and 22 mm in diameter. The purple casing was adorned with the distinct image of a spider, hinting at the power it held.

Carefully, Haruka reached out and grasped the Progrisekey, feeling its weight in his palm. He studied it intently, his eyes tracing the intricate details. A spark of excitement flickered within him, realizing that he now possessed the means to fully utilize the Shotriser's capabilities.

"Ada," Haruka said, his voice tinged with wonder, "what can the Trapping Spider Progrisekey do?"

[The Trapping Spider Progrisekey grants the user enhanced web-based abilities, allowing you to ensnare and restrain opponents. The user can also adhere to any surface and increase their agility. Its specialized functions will significantly bolster your long-range combat capabilities when used with the Shotriser.]

Haruka's grip tightened around the Progrisekey, a determined gleam in his eyes. With this new tool at his disposal, he felt a surge of confidence, knowing that he could now face the challenges ahead more effectively as the Kamen Rider.

Feeling fulfilled, Haruka puts the Shotriser and Trapping Spider Progrisekey into his system inventory and goes to sleep.

Haruka nestled into the soft mattress, the day's events finally catching up to him. With a contented sigh, he gently placed the Shotriser and Trapping Spider Progrisekey into his system inventory, secure in the knowledge that they were safely stored away.

As he closed his eyes, Haruka couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment wash over him. The challenges he had faced as the Kamen Rider had been daunting, but the new tools he had acquired gave him a renewed sense of confidence. With the Shotriser and Trapping Spider Progrisekey at his disposal, he knew he would be better equipped to handle the battles that lay ahead.

Haruka's breathing slowed as he sank into the soft mattress. The weight of his Kamen Rider duties still weighed on his mind, but he allowed himself this moment of rest. His body, tired from the day's work, welcomed the respite, and Haruka felt himself drifting off.

As he fell asleep, Haruka's last thoughts were of the challenges ahead. But with his new tools, he felt better prepared to face them.
