POV Narrator
In a black room decorated with a large number of watches, a young man in his twenties appears wearing a faded gray jacket with dark white cuffs, silver buttons, black trousers and leather boots with straps and a gray-purple scarf.
She also wears a hood, which is part of the tunic, in which she covers her face as well as her hair, but her mouth and nose are visible, albeit barely.
In his hands he holds a large book engraved with the clock faces and gears in his left hand, which he picked up and opened.
My name is Woz, I am the scribe and chronicler of the greatest Demon King who ever lived. "Woz declares, opening the book and reading the front page, addressing an invisible audience.
"According to this book, Bruce Bahamut Belmont, also known as Arkan Bloodedge, will one day become the Demon King of Time, Aeon." Woz said, with a big smile on his face, clutching the book cover in excitement.
The gray-clad Prophet worked a full three years to get to this moment with Bruce.
"Today my Waga Maou will reach a milestone in its glorious history.
The influence of the Fallen Angel, Ailes, rekindled my Waga Maou's Planeswalker spark.
Crossing the dimensional space between the worlds ends to arrive on Earth-W.
After seeing Kamen Rider W in action, my Waga Maou will begin its way to the Throne of Time with the sight of Kamen Rider in action!
Oops! I think I read too much further. "Woz declares, hurriedly closing the book and disappearing from the room decorated with clocks.

When Bruce was struck by the mysterious rose quartz color energy, several major events took place on a cosmic scale.
XXX
The very few beings with multiverse level awareness could tell that something is happening at the foundation of several worlds.
It all started with a small pink quartz sphere flying in the cosmos.
The sphere reached a cosmic tree, Yggdrasill Mímameiðr, the branches and roots here are anchored to three different worlds: Earth, Boiling Isles, Amphibia.
The sphere of pink light penetrates the cortex of Yggdrasill Mímameiðr, causing thinking changes.
The branches and roots on the previous three worlds have withdrawn, abandoning the bonds built in these places of the Multiverse.
In exchange for this small sacrifice, the roots and branches of Yggdrasill Mímameiðr have extended to more distant corners of the cosmos.
During this process the roots and branches connected to nine precise worlds in which Kamen Rider exists.
These nine were enveloped by the extensions of Yggdrasill Mímameiðr, turning them into his first "fruits".
This event is creating a path to go back and forth between these nine worlds.
But the changes didn't stop at simply building a cosmic road to nine random worlds.
No, dozens, maybe hundreds of other kingdoms have been touched by Yggdrasill Mímameiðr and a small part of the elements and history of these places have been copied and pasted on the nine chosen worlds.
This change in the history of the Nine Worlds is not an event brought about by the cosmic tree.
A similar phenomenon was caused by a greater power, Over-Quartzer, the right to rule and destroy the same space-time with a single wave of the hand, to reject the possibilities of loss or defeat, and to create a future dictated by one's whims and nothing else.
A power that crowns you the undisputed tyrant of time itself.
This is the new power of the king of time who changed the history of the nine worlds without realizing it.
XXX
Meanwhile nine worlds are shaped through the combined power of Yggdrasill Mímameiðr and Over-Quartzer, following the subconscious wishes of the Future Demon King of Time.
Bruce is having part of strange versions, one about the past and another about the future.

In Bruce's forgotten past.
A ten-year-old gray-haired boy stands in front of a cute little older girl.
The friend for some reason has most of her facial features and hair darkened, making it impossible to tell how beautiful she is.
The only sure thing is that the girl is showing one of the sweetest and most sincere smiles Bruce has ever seen in his entire life.
"I'm not good, but I made a gift, I hope you like it." Said the ten-year-old, handing the girl a sketch pad containing a work of art to impress the girl.
"You shouldn't have done that, I'm just happy with your company." The girl replies, with a gentle smile, taking the block of drawings, starting to browse the artistic product of her friend.
"I love it my hero! Thank you very much, you are the best!" She exclaims the girl cheerfully, hugging the ten-year-old boy.
This gesture of affection made the child blush who from an early age is shy with the girls he likes.
"Hey, hero?" She asks the girl, touching the baby's face, looking him straight in her eyes.
The child is completely paralyzed by the girl's affectionate gesture.
"What I want most in life is to protect you, so I can always keep you as close as I am now." The girl said, in a sincere and sweet tone, making the child's heart go crazy.
"I don't like it. The hero's job is to protect his sweet princess.
If the hero allows himself to be protected by his princess, it means that he has failed in his task! "He declares the child, wanting to be the one who protects this girl's smile and not the other way around.
"I am happy, very happy my hero. I love you ... we are always together, and when we get older, then we will get married." The girl said, handing her her little finger, wanting to make a promise of marriage with her friend.
Before the memory can tell if the child accepted the proposal, the whole memory has stopped.
Instead, a familiar yet unknown voice appeared in Bruce's memory.
"It's been a long time, we finally met again.
I'm happy, just a little bit more. Wait a little longer.
I will not leave you anymore. I will never make the same mistake again. Why ... "The mysterious voice was cut off.

A vision of a dark future that could happen or is it already done?
In a wasteland, there is a man dressed in armor, the black sands swaying around him in the wind.
It seems as if the wind mocked the man with its gaiety.
The gold glistens in the dim light, appearing only a fraction of its usual brilliance.
The silver plates along its central part reflected the purple light making it look like the supernatural big man.
To the few animals it seems a strange sight, and if any of them had been able to describe the spectacle they would have thought that man's armor looks like a strange cross between a knight and a watch of all things.
This mysterious man is dressed in a black suit, with elegant shoulder pads with golden wings, golden lining and padding on the arms and legs, a giant golden strap coiled around the chest like a sash, golden belt with a shield that at a wing extensions on the side and coming from its back where two giant white clock hands are styled like a cloak.
He wears a helmet that looks like a giant gold watch with a hollow face.
Its visor reads "Rider" (ラ イ ダ) in katakana in the shape of an eagle. On his forehead were three gold watches, two of which are in the "10" and "2" positions. While the silver symbol on his forehead reads "Kamen" (カ メ ン) also in katakana.
This Kamen Rider paused to look at a huge monument that could pass as the altar of a pantheon of gods.
This historical monument is made up of four groups of statues.
A large circle divided into three parts, left, right and front, with a stage in the center for the two most important people.
On the left forming a semicircle there are statues of 17 armored warriors. Their designs are similar and different from each other. They represent from mystical magic and ancient civilizations to ingenious gears and futuristic technologies.
"Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Kiva, Decade, W, OOO, Fourze, Gaim, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid and Build. The Dead Kamen Rider." Said the golden man, giving a name to each statue.
To the right forming a semicircle are the statues of 14 warriors, representing the best of their respective Power Rangers / Super Sentai teams.
"Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo, Zhane In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD." Said the golden man, giving the names of their respective Power Rangers / Super Sentai teams.
"My loyal Thirteen Knights." He declares the golden man, looking at 12 statues of young men and women in elegant horse uniforms.
Seven of them are clearly the Trinity Seven, while another five are unknown at the moment.
The mysterious Kamen Rider looks up at the stage, before falling to his knees, staring at the statues of four people.
In the foreground is a boy in late puberty flanked by three girls a little younger than the boy.
All three are in a transformative pose.
"Luz, Amity and ... * indecipherable sound * I'm sorry." Said the golden man, in a sad and melancholy tone.
Behind each of them are statues of two women depicted so that they have an angelic appearance.
Next to Luz Noceda is Amity Blight.
At Gudrun's side is a mysterious unknown girl who seems to play an important role in the story to deserve such a place of honor.
At the bottom of the monument there is a plaque which reads: "In memory of the greatest heroes of the Earth. True protectors of the planet to the end. May the world remember their noble sacrifice".
Burst!
The whole solemn atmosphere was destroyed by a single aimed blow to the back of the golden man's neck.
The bullet did insignificant damage that can barely compare to a mosquito bite.
The golden knight Kamen slowly turns to see a large army of rebels aim every weapon they could find at him.
"Dare to smear this sacrosanct place with your dirty presence!" He declares the golden Kamen Rider, in a tone full of anger, that he looks at the enemy army with a look full of hate.
A sniper fired a second shot aiming at the heart of the golden man.
Before even striking, the bullet slows down and completely stops floating in midair.
"You will be the first to die." Said the golden man, snapping his fingers the bullet returned towards the sniper, ending up hitting the sniper's heart.
"Whoever kneels and surrenders will have part of a painless death. Whoever tries to fight will be wiped out, there will not even be dust to remind you." The Golden Kamen Rider declares the facts as they really are.
With nothing more to lose, the army begins its charge hoping to do some damage against their hated enemy.
"Palpatine was right, the rebels don't know when to give up." Said the man in gold armor as he walked down the steps of the statue and out onto the sand.
Raising his right hand, the golden Kamen Rider uses very powerful magic, causing numerous purple-colored magical circuits to appear on his body.
Snapping their fingers, seven circles of black magic appeared before the golden man, invoking seven different Servant Alters, i.e. Dark Heroic Spirits.
From one perspective, the golden Kamen Rider resembles a conquered king surrounded by his elite knights, ready to fight a horde of barbarians who do not find their place in his domain.
When the sun begins to set and the slaughter has begun.
"Go ahead, destroy the rebel camp, today is the last day these fools dare to disturb the Conqueror of the whole world." Declares the King of Time, folding his arms, inviting his Servant Alters to continue without him.
"Yes, my teacher!" The seven Alter Servants shouted unanimously, starting their charge towards the rebel base, wanting to destroy their last stronghold so they could no longer hide.
Before the rebel soldiers could do anything, the Alter Servants fled over the sand dunes.
They have remained with their eyes fixed on the enemy King, knowing that the golden tyrant is the greatest threat.
The air is thick with expectation. The soldiers begin to sweat and their hearts beat with anxiety about what the golden tyrant would do.
The dry wind blows among the men, the silence is interrupted by the sound of sweat falling to the ground.
"No matter how hard you try, none of you will see the sunrise, because I am the King of Time! Nobody will leave these plains alive! Nobody will live to remember today!" He declares the King of Time, extending both arms towards one.
The army behind the dunes to his left, the other towards the men in front of him, ready to defeat the rebellion once and for all.
The army made its move, using all sorts of scientific and magical weapons.
Rebel weapons have fired fireballs, superheated plasma, mystical lightning, cursed water, antimatter, dark matter, and all kinds of weapons imaginable.
Some of the soldiers began transforming into various werewolf-like creatures, while others were shrouded in futuristic Ironman-like armor.
Various Mechas of dozens of different shapes and sizes have also emerged from the clouds to fight against the golden Tyrant who has conquered the entire world.
Too bad their enemy is the King of Time, the one who conquered the world, he can't be defeated by mere humans armed with stolen toys.
The golden Kamen Rider with a simple wave of his hands froze time for a few moments, then hundreds of golden portals appeared around the King of Time, raining down a storm of crystal swords that annihilates the fool's army.
When the weather turned up, more than half of the rebels woke up dead or dying, those who escaped the shower of crystal swords didn't live long.
"You fools could never defeat me. And do you know why?" Asks the King of Time, looking at the army of insolent fools from top to bottom.
Because I am destined to win. Because the passage of time decrees my victory. Because I was born… to be King! "Declares the King of Time, snapping his fingers like a certain Mad Titan, turning the army ahead of him to pure dust.
"Because there are no more heroes in this world and I will make sure there will never be more." Whispers the King of Time, disappearing through a gilded portal in the shape of gears, going to witness the destruction of the rebel stronghold.

Fuuto, the city of the wind.
In this place, the wind carries many things ... from small moments of happiness to enormous suffering.
Today is a late evening in the city of Fuuto which has recently been "overrun" by MBI Corporation.
In this city, where special USB sticks can turn people into Dopant, a race of humans who turn into monsters using Gaia Memories, mainly distributed by the Museum organization, and currently by the Street gang.
At the moment this evening the wind is blowing wildly and the sky is behaving abnormally.
This meteorological phenomenon could be mass hysteria and lead a number of people to believe that the end of the world is approaching.
Fortunately, this unusual event lasted for a few moments, without interfering with any type of electronic equipment.
People who have seen a kind of pink aurora borealis acting strangely have dismissed it as a rare phenomenon of nature.
But some people involved in these closer to the supernatural have not even thought for a second of witnessing a phenomenon created by mother nature.
Every single person in town felt a slight shiver of fear creep down his spine as if some great calamity passed its gaze on them and looked away, forgetting about them.
No man or woman, strong or weak, young or old, escaped that feeling, though far fewer of them paid attention to it.
And those who have heard it pass have had different reactions to it.
Anticipation, surprise, distrust, fear, bloodlust, hope, anger - these were simply the easiest to describe, but there was so much more.
And in the wake of these feelings, almost everyone lost the fact that someone fell at the end of the appearance of the Northern Lights.
A certain Archangel Assassin has fallen towards the roof of an abandoned building.

A few hours later.
Bruce opened his eyes to find himself lying on a concrete floor.
"There is no prison capable of holding, Arkan Bloodedge, the King of Wizards!" He declares Bruce out loud, with a triumphant smile, slowly rising to his feet.
"Ailes, are you still with me or is our partnership over before it can begin?" Bruce asks, looking around for the ballerina with six bat wings.
"Manager, once you have signed a contract with me, you will attend my show until the end." Ailes said, materializing before Bruce in all his celestial splendor.
Bruce snorts amused by Ailes' acting performance, finding it amusing to have a Fallen Angel obsessed with art.
The Archangel Assassin looks up into a night sky full of stars, noticing the presence of two beautiful moons.
"Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." Bruce said in a low voice, unable to stop himself from making this famous quote.
Taking a moment to digest the awareness of being in a different world, Bruce slowly shook his head, shifting his attention to an excited Ailes.
"Little Angel, did you say anything about the Multiverse, Sparks, and Planeswalker earlier?" Bruce asked, hoping to get an answer in sixty on what was going on.
Even if he doesn't get an immediate answer, at least he managed to escape from the Realm of Darkness.
"We are in a very distant place, we would do a very long walking show until we get back to our home plane." Ailes said, smiling at the sight of new horizons, wanting to see what this new world can offer for his art.
"Manager, what is the object that is near you have your feet?" Ailes asks, pointing to a small object that appeared with them when they entered this world.
Bruce wasted no time in picking up the trinket pointed out by Ailes, a mysterious gray device shaped like a stopwatch the size of his palm.
Although it seemed empty and devoid of true functionality, Bruce manages to sense a sort of primal power emanating from the small device.
The trinket is reminiscent of black watch with a white-silver dial.
The watch has the number '2018' inscribed on the front, the year it should have been claimed and used.
Bruce's thumb touches the edge of the dial, feeling the slightest rotation of the dial as the plate turned to the right.
Bruce rotated the face of the watch bezel to reveal a mask and pressed the watch button, causing a hologram circle of that mask to appear.
This mask has the word "Rider" written in pink in katakana.
ZI-O!
"What is Zi-O supposed to mean?" Bruce asks, unable to find a meaning to this name that sounds too similar to the Italian word for uncle.
"If you write Zi-O in Japanese it could potentially mean king of time." Ailes said, using his millennial knowledge to find a translation / meaning for Zi-O.
"However, the pronounced name does not have the same value as the device itself." Bruce said, holding the dial to his good eye, using True Sight to analyze it.
"Interestingly, the pocket watch is called, Ridewatch, this object somehow contains a copy of my soul, my powers and yes all my actions.
Virtually everything they are can be found inside the Ridewatch. I can't even imagine how such a device can be created. "Bruce said, incredibly interested in this device and what it could do if used properly.
Ailes, being less interested in science and more looking for new stimuli, decided to lean forward from the edge of the building.
"Manager, it looks like we have front row tickets to a local show." Ailes said, flapping his wings like a dog flapping its own tail, happy to be able to be part of the audience every now and then.
Bruce decided to get in line and see what is happening, maybe it will allow him to understand what kind of parallel Earths he is in.

Not far from the abandoned building in here are Bruce and Ailes, there are two individuals in particular and a kind of grotesque creature.
The creature appears to be humanoid, but it had claws and a long tail, cat ears, and a wild cat appearance. Basically a werewolf cat on steroids.
In front of the creature there are two men who probably have
The first man with wavy brown hair, he wears a striped buttoned shirt with a blue tie, a black vest, black pants and sturdy, well-worn black leather shoes.
And on top of her head is a gray fedora hat. Everything about this man was screaming "Detective hardboiled".
The second man is slightly younger than the first, his green hair is pulled back with a pin on the right side.
She wears a long-sleeved striped shirt with a thin blue sweater, black three-quarter shorts, long socks and boots, with a book in one hand.
Overall the dress looks like something a girl would wear,
'I like the style of these two.' Bruce thinks, really appreciating the looks of these two individuals.
This preference comes as no surprise, Bruce normally dresses like a Detective straight out of a Noir movie.
The investigator takes out a red-colored mechanical device, pressing the device to the waist made a belt appear from it and attaching itself around the investigator's waist.
At the same time, a copy of the same belt manifested itself on the body of the second individual.
The first man dressed as an investigator pulled a Gaia Memory out of his jacket with his right hand.
The Gaia Memory is dark purple in color, with a pointed J on it, its name echoing when the investigator pushes the USB button.
JOKER!
The second individual, the scholar, smiled as he placed the book on the floor, before pulling a light green Gaia Memory out of his pocket, showing a C made of multiple curves.
"It's show time." Said the scholar as he pushes the button on his Gaia Memory, making the USB scream his name.
CYCLONE!
With his left hand, the scholar slammed the Gaia Memory into the right slot of the mechanical device, causing the greens to disappear.
As soon as the USB disappears, the scholar fell to the ground, the unconscious body touching the floor.
Thereafter, the Gaia Memory Cyclone manifests on the red device at the investigator's waist.
Once it fully manifested, the investigator slammed the green USB inside, plugging it fully into the right port and causing the device to emit a laser buzz.
With the other hand, the investigator then slammed the purple Gaia Memory into the other door before pushing the red doors away, making the device appear as a W as the Gaia Memories scream their names once again.
CYCLONE! JOKER!
A short melody is played by the device, consisting of a technical guitar solo that progresses to an orchestral hit, as a faint vortex slowly forms around it, dispersing various green and purple particles that swirl around the investigator, before slowly forming an armor around the investigator's body.
The armor is split vertically in the middle.
On the right is a completely green figure, a golden mark on the ankle, wrist, chest and shoulder.
The vertical line is silver in color with a black line at the bottom, with a silver crest and a red gem.
The left side of the body is completely black, mirroring the green and gold on the right, but instead of the gold it was purple and with strange wavy markings.
The markings on the chest gave the impression of a split "W".
Full red eyes rested on the split helmet, while around the waist there is a red Driver with two similar USBs but of different colors and symbols on them.
The Driver is "open" in the shape of a "W".
"Now, count your sins." He declares Kamen Rider Double speaking coldly as he points to the Dopant.
The figure wags his wrist before rushing in, throwing a series of quick punches and kicks.
XXX
Returning to the top of the abandoned building, Bruce and Ailes are watching the scene with great interest.
"I have discovered a new muse! Humans are fun!" Ailes declares, flapping his wings, feeling stimulated by the appearance of Kamen Rider W.
"This world reminds me of a Tokusatsu-style anime." Bruce murmurs, continuing to watch with interest the fight between the hero and the monster.
XXX
Returning you have two heroes in one.
"Let's finish this." Kamen Rider W said, pulling out the Gaia Memory Joker belt before inserting it into the hip opening and banging his hand against the button.
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
The wind slowly began to build up as Kamen Rider W slowly began to float in the air, the storm was spinning nearby pinwheels at a rapid pace.
As the Cat Dopant slowly rose, the whirlwind increased as various debris was caught in the wind, some garbage cans hit the Dopant as it tries to get away.
Kamen Rider W then slammed his hand into the black crack, before performing a double front kick to the Dopant.
"Joker Extreme!" Kamen Rider W shouts as the body is thrown at the Dopant Cat through the intense force of the wind.
Kamen Rider W's armored body splits in two as each side kicks one after the other, green and purple energy being exerted by the impact.
After linking, the two sides reconnect into one as Kamen Rider W jumps off the body of the Dopant Cat, slowly landing in front of him as the Dopant Cat explodes in a firework.
The Dopant figure shattered, revealing an exhausted and defeated woman and a strange red USB but with rib-shaped protrusions surrounding her.
In short, USB had the letter "C" before it shattered into non-existence.
XXX
"We've seen too much. Let's go before this two-in-one hero finds out about us." Bruce said, not wanting to reveal his presence to a mysterious two-tone masked hero.
Ailes pouted wanting to see Kamen Rider W's remaining tricks, but being a psychic entity anchored to Bruce's body.
Where the Archangels Assassin walks, the Fallen Angel will be a few steps away from him.
XXX
The two Detectives in one and the strange celestial couple have gone completely separate ways, completely unaware that they will soon meet again and again.
Detective Occult and Detective hardboiled will end up meddling in the next big Fuuto cases.
Part of these mysteries will be provoked by the Street gang and the MBI organization with its Sekirei plan.
These Detectives I will have my hands full for the next few months.

In a place very far from the world of W.
A booklet snapped shut and on the cover it says: The Journey into the Underworld: The Spark ignites
The person who closed the book turns out to be Woz.
"Thus ends the prologue for my Waga Maou's next series of travels." Woz said, walking towards a wall covered with a clock and a few gold shelves.
This small library contains a small collection of very special books.
On the first shelf it says: Chronicles of the Celestial House.
On the second shelf it says: The adventures of an eccentric planeswalker.
On the third shelf it says: Kamen House: Adventures of the Lost Heroes.
Woz placed the closed book on the second shelf and in exchange took a book with a green-black cover, with the writing on the cover: A Planeswalker's Journey - Fuuto City.
"This was a short and intense story. But everything was fundamental to the development of my Waga Maou.
Now, he will begin the first leg of a long journey that will lead him to complete his destiny. "Woz said, walking in the darkness as several" windows "open and reveal scenes of what had already happened to Bruce, Luz and the others who they have been involved in their previous adventures.
"My Waga Maou will soon become Zi-O and begin gaining the power of Kamen Rider W.
Meanwhile Luz, Amity, Adeline, Anne, Marcy and Sasha will have their own roles to play.
Each of them will help my Waga Maou sit on his well-deserved golden throne. "Woz said, before opening the new book he is holding, and several pages fluttered out and swirled around him until he was out of sight.
End of The Journey into the Underworld: The Spark ignites.
The story will sooner or later continue into a new story.

Over-Quartzer (Kamen Rider Neo-Heisei Part 6 Zi-O) (1000): There is a coveted and dangerous power in this world, Jumper. A hidden potential that draws on the passing of time itself. The right to rule and destroy the same space-time with a single wave of your hand, to reject the possibilities of loss or defeat and create a future dictated by your whims and nothing else. To be crowned the undisputed tyrant of time itself. This is the power of Oma Zi-Oh, the King of Time. Originally, Sougo Tokiwa was the only one born with this potential and will constantly awaken into this power as the year passes.
Except now, there is another potential heir to that throne: you.
At first, this does very little or nothing for you. But as you expose yourself to more dangers and gain power, you will find that the flow of time itself begins to move for you. You will have prophetic dreams about the distant future, only to find that the future was very real and that you had transmitted your consciousness forward in time. Sometimes, these timelines resemble things related to your subconscious desires or desires, being made real by your own mind. The gadgets and transformation abilities you possess acquire individual powers over time, such as being able to undo a few minutes of events with the push of a Ridewatch or recalling a time duplicate of a being that you possess the same powers as. As you gain more control of your power over time, you can easily cross it with a barely thought and accomplish feats like aging something to dust in seconds. At your peak, you might even rewrite the events of a timeline to your specifications, bringing the dead back to life and even giving them lives to your specifications, although this is likely to drain most of your power for a while. of time.
If you were to gain the power of others through time itself, for example through Ridewatches, you too could claim the power of Grand Zi-Oh after gaining most of it ... allowing you to summon the weapons and time copies of those who you own Ridewatch's. At your peak, you can combine them all in the form of Oma Zi-Oh ... a powerful and undisputed form worthy of the King of Time, capable of using all the Ridewatch powers you possess with just a thought, as well as greatly enhancing your own already fantastic power at the same time.
You have the right to rule. You just need to use it.
