Chapter 1 A World Where Knights and Monsters Coexist

Jiu Du No. 1 Middle School, Classroom of Grade 3 (25).

On the podium, a Mediterranean teacher, advanced in years and bearing many traces of time, was lecturing with passion. Below, some students were listening attentively, while others were drowsy.

'Hoo...'

Chen Ran took a deep breath, feeling a slight ache as he looked at the line written on the corner of the blackboard in chalk—

'Three days left until the college entrance examination. Study for the peace and security of the nation!'

It took nearly a whole class period.

Chen Ran finally understood his current situation.

He had been reborn!

Or rather, he had transmigrated to a parallel world.

This was his third year of high school, with three days left until the college entrance examination. However, Chen Ran discovered that this world was vastly different from the one in his memory! Read books.

The knowledge explained in class was no longer the familiar language, math, and English, but instead, information about monsters from various secret realms and different Knight systems!

'Woke up and the world changed drastically.'

For Chen Ran, the situation couldn't be described any better than this.

Ding Ling Ling—

The familiar dismissal bell rang.

A different world, but the same bell.

Chen Ran's memories became a little hazy.

The Mediterranean teacher did not extend the class. After saying "dismissed," he quickly walked out of the classroom, holding his books.

"Chen Ran, want to go to the restroom together?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

The owner of the voice was Fang Wen.

His nickname was: Abbot!

Chen Ran was very familiar with him.

He could be considered one of his good friends, both in his past and present life.

During their student days, boys from all over seemed to have the same characteristic.

Going to the restroom together after class.

Leaning on the balcony in the corridor to watch girls...

Chen Ran shook his head.

"You go, I need to think about some things."

"Oh, alright. Let's meet at the sports field later. Don't forget the Knight awakening ceremony, okay?"

Fang Wen reminded him.

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I remember."

Watching Fang Wen leave, Chen Ran rested his chin on his hands and fell into thought.

The country he was in was Da Xia. Next door was Sakura Province.

The history of this world had slight discrepancies with his memory, but not significant.

However, it changed tens of years ago.

On that day, heaven and earth underwent a great change.

Mysterious spatial rifts appeared all over the world, and from them emerged monsters from the Knight universe of Chen Ran's past life, wreaking havoc.

Human survival was in peril.

Fortunately, heaven had not cut off all paths.

Humanity persevered!

The spatial rifts brought not only monsters but also hope for human survival. After extensive research, it was discovered that mysterious particles from the world on the other side of the rifts permeated into the world where humans lived. Scientists called them 'Hope Particles,' which subtly altered the human physique.

Humans truly possessed the power to resist the monsters that frequently appeared in cities—

Kamen Rider!

Transforming into a Knight and protecting the world, how romantic that was.

Eighteen years old was widely recognized as the best age to awaken the Knight Driver.

These bizarre events undoubtedly changed the entire world order.

And it also gave rise to many professions.

Related to Knights, they were the mainstream!

Professional Knight and monster researchers.

And inventors of various Knight support equipment, etc.

This meant that even if one did not awaken as a Kamen Rider, they could still shine in other fields.

Today was the annual and highly anticipated Knight Awakening Day.

All students in their third year of high school would, on this day, usher in their own turning point in destiny.

Becoming a Kamen Rider, or something else!

Every student's heart was filled with enthusiasm.

Eagerly anticipating.

Chen Ran was naturally among them.

Showa Riders, Heisei Riders, Reiwa Riders...

The figures of one Knight after another appeared in Chen Ran's mind.

He then cross-referenced them with the publicly known Knight systems in this world.

To his surprise, Knights like Den-O and Decade had no recorded awakenings to this day. He had no idea what was going on.

There was no mention of them in school textbooks or external news.

If he wanted to delve deeper, he would probably have to find the answer himself in the future.

In any case, this was not something the current Chen Ran should be concerned about.

"I wonder if I can awaken a Driver and become a Knight? And which Knight would I become?"

Chen Ran thought to himself.

He was actually unsure.

For no other reason.

It was because although he was a 'transmigrator,' he had no cheat.

In this class, his original academic performance was only average. Although he had changed worlds, he was confident in becoming a top student in knowledge related to Kamen Riders and monsters. However, physical talent and academic performance had always been unrelated.

If he couldn't awaken as a Kamen Rider, he would probably only be able to do clerical work like a researcher or critic.

But to have come to such a world and not be able to become a Knight was somewhat regrettable.

After much thought, Chen Ran gradually sorted out his thoughts.

At this moment, a broadcast sounded across the campus.

"Jiu Du No. 1 Middle School's Knight Awakening Ceremony is about to begin. All teachers and students of the third year are requested to take their positions quickly and gather at the sports field."

Following that, the announcement was repeated several times.

Hearing this notice.

The remaining students in the classroom gradually stood up, and Chen Ran also slowly stood up and headed to the sports field.

At this time, many people were standing on the school's sports field.

There were students and teachers.

There were also reporters who had heard the news. Every year, the Knight Awakening Ceremony was undoubtedly a major event for any city. If a prodigy emerged, reporting it would be big news!

Each class's position was still in the same old place.

Everyone was orderly.

There was no possibility of not finding their spot.

Chen Ran quickly found the position for Class 25.

He walked into the queue.

Standing next to him was Fang Wen.

"Chen Ran, do you know? I heard that Goddess Mu will also be attending the Knight Awakening Conference today."

Seeing Chen Ran arrive, Fang Wen whispered excitedly.

His academic performance was average, but his social skills were strong. Simply put, he had social phobia. What he usually liked to do was to gather 'rumors' from various channels.

As soon as Chen Ran arrived, he couldn't wait to share...
