Ben's heart pounded in his chest. The massive frog-like creature, the broken glass, the chaos—it all felt strangely familiar. But it was the woman perched atop the beast that truly caught his attention. She had crazed eyes and disheveled brown hair with a streak of white.
Animo? Ben thought, his mind racing. But the Dr. Animo he remembered from the show was an elderly man, not this young, intense woman. What is going on?
Gwen grabbed Ben's arm. "What is that th...

Crimson lightning flashed through the Musutafu night as Momotaros, encased in the formidable armor of Den-O Sword Form, carved a path through the horde of Inves. The monsters, grotesque parodies of animals twisted by the Helheim Forest's insidious influence, surged forward, their claws and teeth snapping, their eyes glowing with a predatory hunger.
"Ore, sanjou!" Momotaros roared, his voice echoing through the district. "Time for you overgrown sandcastles to crumble!"

Yin Xiaoya knew they couldn’t let the suffering continue, or allow continuous mutations to cause further changes. He swiftly prompted Xiaoman, the system AI, to unleash the Kamen Rider powers they could unlock.
Before the mutated Ghost-Faced Griffin, a monstrous figure over three meters tall and seven meters long materialized. It was a gray-white, mechanical-looking lion—the Chimera Phantom.
The creature shared similarities with the mutated Griffin, appearing as a pieced-toget...

With Emperor Yan's affirmation, both the Ghost-Faced Griffin King and the Azure Phoenix King showed excited expressions.
"Master Yan Di, does that mean that our sons and daughters can also..." the Griffin King began.
Emperor Yan nodded in confirmation. "The mutations afflicting them stem from their inherent nature as soul beasts, a process that's virtually impossible to halt through conventional methods. However, if their life form is completely altered, that mutation might just v...

In a decaying district marked by urban rot and neglect, an old house stands like a forgotten relic. Planks nailed haphazardly over the windows give it a look, blocking sunlight and trapping shadows inside. The paint peels in strips, and the porch sags like an old man's back.

A man unlocks the front door. He is middle-aged, his face etched with the weariness of countless small grievances and disappointments. He wears a faded work shirt and his steps are measured, almost relu...

Ace finished wiping down the counter at Starry Café, the scent of coffee lingering in the air. The day had been long, a relentless stream of customers seeking refuge from the summer heat. He was exhausted, but the knowledge that the Crow Imagin was still out there, potentially altering the timeline, kept him on edge. He grabbed his jacket from the back room, ready to begin his search.
As he stepped out of the café, the evening air cool against his skin, Asahi appeared as if on cue. Th...

In the end, Yin Xiaoya couldn't bring himself to ask for the Jin'e Red Stag Beetle to unlock Kamen Rider Kuuga. Seriously, how could I? He thought. It came all the way here from the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects to guard Emperor Yan. Taking it away would screw things up.
"A Kamen Rider can't take by force, or seek selfishness based on some flimsy justification."
Sighing softly, he pulled out the Caixia Feather Azure Phoenix King had given him.

Before Yin Xiaoya could respond, the three soul beasts pierced through the Extreme Sky Flame Curtain. Concentrating all their power into a condensed energy shield, they shot through at top speed, each barely making it in less than a second. The million-degree heat instantly consumed their shields, a withering temperature under which almost all life would be extinguished. That they could pass at all was remarkable. Seeing them panting on the other side, even Yin Xiaoya, who knew what to expect...

A week goes by since the fire rescue. Ben races down the highway, a blur of scenery whipping past him. He's not in his Ferrari this time. He is on the back of what looks like a blue velociraptor. This is SK8, one of his aliens, a Kineceleran.
SK8 has blue skin with black markings around her face. She has a long tail with black and blue striped markings. Two wheels on her feet serve as the source of her extreme velocity. A black visor with pink markings rests above her face. Her black, f...

Because of his anatomy, Amazon Alpha's diving speed is far faster than Skull’s, but even so, his speed can't be maintained indefinitely. The further down he goes, the increasing magma viscosity becomes a significant impediment, compounding the rising temperatures.
By the time Amazon feels a clear strain, he has reached a depth of six thousand meters, and his physical advantage has all but vanished. Diving a single meter now demands three times the effort as before.

Because its base stats aren’t that impressive, Yin Xiaoya usually relies on Meteor, with his diverse skills, or Amazon Alpha, who boasts a burst of raw power. This is only the second time Yin Xiaoya has transformed into Kamen Rider Skull, which sparks the interest of the three soul beasts.

Yin Xiaoya, standing at the edge of Yandi Mountain's crater, stared into the fiery abyss. This wasn't just any volcano; it was a super volcano, owing its name – Yandi Mountain – to the powerful entity residing within. The peak soared over 5,000 meters, defying the typical altitude-temperature relationship. A scorching heat permeated the entire mountain, turning it a vibrant, angry red. Only soul beasts with the most extreme fire affinities could survive in this hellish landscape.

Kamen Rider Souki, the sound-striking Oni warrior unlocked by the Azure Flame Heaven Griffin, proved his mettle by easily dispatching a seven-hundred-year-old soul beast in his debut. But a seven-hundred-year-old soul beast didn't pack much punch; it couldn't truly showcase Souki's capabilities.
Su Xuan, during their trek to the lava mountains to unlock Souki's power, had pressed Yin Xiaoya about his strength, and his answer had stunned her.

He found her huddled behind the counter, eyes wide and glazed with terror. She didn't respond, just trembled, her hands clasped tightly over her mouth.
"Hey, it's okay," Ben repeats, trying to project calm. "It's over now. Just… call the police, okay?"

Although Shi Nian doesn't recognize what Ma Hongjun held, his speech had ignited a fire. Concerns about losing face now dwarfed everything else, and without a moment's hesitation, without even relying on his soul skills, he charged forward, intending to use brute strength alone to teach Ma Hongjun a lesson.
But as he approached Ma Hongjun, a radiant light engulfed the younger man's form, resonating with the tuning fork's sonic vibrations. The light intensif...

Yin Xiaoya had just learned that the Azure Flame Heaven Griffin was a rare hybrid, a blend of the Ghost-Faced Griffin and the Azure Phoenix—two distinct avian races. The offspring of their union possessed a genetic quirk that threatened the reproductive stability of both species. Even the royal blood of the parents couldn't overcome the impact, underscoring the magnitude of the Griffin's existence.
Yin Xiaoya's intervention promised to alter the course of that destiny. He had not only...

Sunlight streams through massive windows, highlighting dust motes dancing in the air. The walls are a muted gold. Everything screams money. Trophies line a shelf. Ben squints, trying...

Ben, clad in his protective gear, advances toward the building. Water sprays from his hose as he works, his movements efficient.
