Chapter 10

A few days have passed, and Haruka has been stopping small crimes. As Amazon Omega, he leaps across the rooftops, his enhanced senses alert for any signs of trouble.

Today, he spots a group of thugs mugging a woman in a dark alley. Without hesitation, Haruka transforms and descends upon them. The criminals turn in shock, their bravado crumbling at the sight of the towering Kamen Rider.

[Violent Punish]

Amazon Omega makes quick work of the thugs, incapacitating them with precise strikes. The woman looks on in awe, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Satisfied, Haruka turns and scales the building, disappearing into the night. His stomach rumbles once more, the thought of those delicious hamburgers spurring him on.

Haruka glances at the mission progress on his screen. He nods, satisfied to see it completed.

"Congratulations, Host, for completing your first mission. You have received the following."

A notification appears, listing his rewards:

[100 points

1 gacha draw]

Haruka considers his options. "Is there a bonus if I save up to ten?"

"Unfortunately not, Host," the system replies.

Haruka shrugs. "Then use it."

Haruka watches intently as the blue screen before him displays a spinning slot machine. The reels slowly come to a stop, revealing the prize.

"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Kamen Rider 1 Physiology."

Haruka feels a sudden surge of heat wash over his body. It's an unfamiliar sensation, almost like his very cells are shifting and transforming. The change is initially painful, but the discomfort quickly fades.

Haruka stares down at his body, a faint crease forming between his brows. "What was that?" he murmurs, trying to pinpoint any changes. He glances at the floating blue screen before him, studying the prize he's just obtained.

He can break a meter thick tree trunk or a metal rod 10 cm thick with his Rider Chop. His Rider Kick has enough power to bend steel supports of buildings. Even when he wasn't fully transformed, this form was strong enough to withstand a 50,000 volt electric shock. With each battle, Kamen Rider 1 continues to grow stronger, possessing unlimited potential.

Haruka was amazed by the effects of Kamen Rider 1 Physiology. This made him a superhuman. Haruka could hear a conversation between lovers 4 km away, their whispers as clear as if they stood beside him. His eyesight was also enhanced, allowing him to make out the finer details of the city skyline with startling clarity. He could feel his muscles were stronger, his grip crushing a metal rod with ease.

Ada's voice chimed in, "With training and fighting, your abilities will continue to grow, Host. The potential of Kamen Rider 1's physiology is limitless."

Haruka clenched his fist, feeling the power coursing through him. His heart raced with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. "So much strength..." he murmured, testing the limits of his enhanced senses.

Somewhere in the distance, he heard the faint sound of a woman's scream. Haruka tensed, his body primed to spring into action. Without hesitation, he leapt off the rooftop, his powerful legs propelling him across the city skyline.

Haruka was amazed by the sheer speed and agility his new Kamen Rider 1 physiology granted him. It was like the difference between a person running and someone riding a bicycle – the world around him seemed to slow down, allowing him to react and move with lightning-fast precision.

As he heard the distant sound of a woman's scream, Haruka tensed, his enhanced senses zeroing in on the source of the distress. Without hesitation, he leapt off the rooftop, his powerful legs propelling him across the city skyline.

Haruka descended rapidly, his green and black armored form cutting through the air. In a matter of seconds, he landed between the cornered woman and the group of men threatening her. Towering over the startled assailants, Amazon Omega stood as an imposing, unyielding barrier.

The men, taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Kamen Rider, stumbled back, their bravado faltering in the face of such raw power. Haruka could sense their fear, their hearts racing as they realized they were outmatched.

"Leave. Now," Amazon Omega commanded, his voice low and laced with authority.

The men exchanged uncertain glances, hesitating for a moment before turning and fleeing, their footsteps echoing through the alleyway. Haruka watched them go, his posture unwavering, his senses alert for any signs of further trouble.

Turning to the woman, Haruka assessed her condition. She appeared shaken but unharmed, her eyes wide with a mixture of relief and awe as she stared up at the towering Kamen Rider. Haruka extended a hand, silently offering her assistance.

The woman, her eyes glistening with gratitude, reaches out and takes Haruka's offered hand. "Thank you," she whispers, her voice trembling. "I thought they were going to..."

Haruka gently helps her to her feet, his enhanced senses keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. "You should be more careful," Amazon Omega warns, his tone stern yet laced with concern. "Secluded areas like this are dangerous, especially at night."

The woman nods, her gaze locked onto the Kamen Rider's imposing form. "I... I will. Thank you, again, for saving me."

Amazon Omega gives a curt nod, then turns and leaps upwards, his powerful legs carrying him effortlessly to the rooftop above. The woman watches in awe as the Rider disappears into the night, the distant sound of his landing echoing across the city.

Haruka lands gracefully on the adjacent building, his enhanced senses scanning the area for any further threats. Satisfied that the woman is now safe, he turns his attention to Ada's interface.

Haruka glances at the floating blue screen before him. "So, Ada. Do I get another mission?"

"Of course, Host," Ada replies, her tone matter-of-fact. "Loading next mission."

The screen displays the details:

[Destroy 3 criminal hideouts.

Duration: 14 days

Rewards: 500 points, 1 gacha draw]

Haruka frowns slightly. "Great, finding suitable criminals on the street is hard enough. Now I have to find their hideouts? What's more, in 2 weeks? Can't you extend it a bit, Ada?"

"Please work hard, Host," Ada says, a hint of encouragement in her robotic voice.

Haruka lets out a frustrated sigh. "Damn it..."

Haruka decides not to mind the mission for now. He needs to test his new physiology. Determined to explore the full extent of his enhanced abilities, Haruka sets out to find more criminals to confront.

Leaping across the rooftops, Haruka's senses are on high alert, scanning the streets below for any signs of trouble. His enhanced eyesight allows him to spot a group of men breaking into a parked car, and without hesitation, he descends upon them.

Amazon Omega lands with a heavy thud, his imposing presence causing the would-be thieves to freeze in their tracks. The men whirl around, their eyes widening in fear at the sight of the towering Kamen Rider.

Haruka strides forward, his steps measured and confident. "You have the wrong idea about how to earn a living," he states, his voice low and authoritative.

The criminals exchange panicked glances, unsure of how to respond to this unexpected challenger. One of them, a burly man with a tattoo-covered arm, steps forward, bravado etched on his face.

"You got a problem, pal?" the man growls, clenching his fists.

Haruka's eyes narrow behind his helmet. "Yes, I do." Without warning, he lashes out, his hand grasping the man's wrist in a vice-like grip.

The criminal's eyes widen in shock as Haruka effortlessly twists his arm, a sickening crack echoing through the alleyway. The man screams in agony, crumpling to the ground.

The other thieves stare in stunned silence, their courage quickly evaporating. They turn to flee, but Haruka is faster, blocking their escape with his imposing form.

"Where do you think you're going?" he growls, his enhanced senses heightening his awareness of their every move.

One of the men, a scrawny, nervous-looking individual, raises his hands in a placating gesture. "Hey, man, we don't want any trouble. Just let us go, okay?"

Haruka considers the request for a moment, then shakes his head. "No. You've caused enough trouble already."

With lightning-fast reflexes, he grabs the scrawny man by the collar and hurls him against the car, the impact knocking the wind out of him. The third thief tries to make a break for it, but Haruka is there in an instant, delivering a crushing blow to his midsection.

The criminal crumples to the ground, groaning in pain. Haruka stands over them, his enhanced strength and speed proving to be a formidable advantage.

As he surveys the scene, Haruka realizes that he may have gone too far. The men, while criminals, did not deserve such brutal treatment. Guilt begins to creep into his mind, and he takes a step back, his expression hidden behind the Amazon Omega mask.

"Get out of here," he commands, his voice tinged with a hint of regret. "And don't let me catch you doing this again."

The injured thieves scramble to their feet, clutching their wounded limbs, and limp away, casting fearful glances over their shoulders at the Kamen Rider. Haruka watches them go, his enhanced senses monitoring their retreat.

Once they've disappeared from sight, Haruka lets out a heavy sigh. He knows he needs to be more careful with his newfound power, lest he cross the line into unnecessary violence. As he scales the building and returns to the rooftops, Haruka resolves to find a better way to use his abilities to protect the innocent, without causing undue harm to even the most hardened of criminals.
