POV Narrator
In a black room adorned with a large number of clocks, 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 with an important and extravagant appearance.
The cover of the book is covered with engravings reminiscent of gears and clocks, at the top is the title of the book: "A Bizarre Journey - Castle Doran: Revenants, Fangires and Stand"
He smiled smugly before pulling off his hood, revealing his black hair combed to one side and his gray eyes.
The Prophet dressed in gray looks up at an invisible audience that only he is capable of perceiving and interacting.
"Greetings, dear readers, I am Woz, the scribe and chronicler of the greatest Demon King who ever lived." Woz proudly declares, opening the book and reading the first page.
"According to this book, Planeswalker Bruce Belmont has begun the path that will lead him to become the Demon King of Time, Ohma Zi-O." Woz said, starting to read the prologue of his new book.
"To bring his destiny to an end he must through space and time to collect the 19 Ridewatch of the Kamen Rider Heisei." Woz declares, with a big smile on his face, adoring every victory of his Waga Maou.
"So far my Waga Maou has traveled to two worlds, earning the W and Drive Ridewatches." Woz said, spreading his arms, making images of the two Kamen Riders appear.
Kamen Rider W's image depicts a man in armor.
Oddly, 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".
The completely 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".
"The World of Kamen Rider W and the Sekirei, a place full of mysteries to be solved and young girls with strange powers looking for their Ashikabi." Woz recounts, showing frames of men and women using Gaya Memory to become monsters.
The Kamen Rider Drive image shows a man in a combat suit designed to resemble a shape based on a sports car.
The basic suit is black, with a red cuirass on top that covers the chest, forearms and legs.
The head is covered by red colored, with a silver visor that looks like a car grille.
The most iconic treatise of this armor is a kind of tire placed on the upper part of the torso with the tread grooves.
"The World of Kamen Rider Drive and the Totally Spies, a place populated by disillusioned lunatics who try to conquer the globe, but are stopped by three fantastic Spies." Woz said, showing frames of outlandish scientists carrying out absurd plans based on their delusions.
"In this bizarre new world, where creatures of the night conspire in the dark to exterminate humanity.
The only ones capable of stopping this ancient evil are the lineage of Joestar and Kamen Rider Kiva! "Declares Woz, showing the contents of his book to his invisible audience.
On the left page is a drawing of an incredibly tall and muscular Japanese student, behind him is a kind of guardian spirit that looks like an Aztec warrior.
On the right page is a drawing of a man in bat-themed silver-red armor, surrounded by three monstrous creatures: Wolfen, Franken and Merman.
"But these will not be alone on their journey. My Waga Maou and her spouses participate in this journey and will triumph!" Woz proclaims, flipping through the book, showing a completely different image that takes up two pages.
On this page is the image of Kamen Rider Zi-O, flanked by two females with white hair and golden eyes.
The first girl appears to be a 17-year-old, dressed as if she were a combination of a Kapellmeister and a Magic Girl.
The second companion is a woman in her early twenties, dressed in a normally sparkling white backless dress, drawn tightly to her figure and sporting a partially torn neckline.
Above it she wears a custom veil in the shape of a short hooded cloak, black and purple, adorned with various gold laces, jewels and protrusions. In his hands she holds a gigantic halberd.
The Kamen Rider and the two girls seem to be surrounded by a large number of hungry who seem to have come out of a nightmare.
Suddenly the book closed and Woz disappears into thin air.

The year is 1987 and while the world is relatively calm, this is not the case for the Joestar family.
A full 100 years ago Jonathan Joestar defeated DIO Brando, enemy of the Joestar family, a cunning and powerful vampire who tried to rule the world, and both were thought to have died on the same burning ship.
However DIO is smart and managed to survive by attaching his head to Jonathan's body and hiding in a secret compartment in a coffin.
Four years ago this coffin was pulled out of the ocean by sailors and DIO finally managed to escape from his prison, now called DIO.
Some time later, DIO was able to awaken a new power called Stand, powerful enough to allow him to take over the world.
Just a few weeks away is the conflict between the DIO faction and the Joestar language will begin in earnest, leading to stand-off fighting around the world.
But things will take a sudden turn when the Trump Card, Fool, enters the game, attracting new friends and enemies who seem to come out of a fantasy or science fiction novel.

Somewhere in the world of JoJo / Kiva, under the gaze of the moon, he's having a strange phenomenon that can't be natural.
The sky is clear and cloudless, but without a rational explanation, suddenly a giant pink lightning bolt appeared, plunged from the sky and hit a cemetery.
Three events occurred at the time of impact that will have long-term consequences for many.
First of all, the energy of the pink lightning bolt traveled through the ground, eventually hitting every single grave and headstone in the cemetery, resulting in explosions and fires.
In short, part of the tombstones and tombs exploded, raining the remains of the dead, creating the most morbid rain in the world.
Second, the lightning somehow created a kind of pink wave that went unnoticed by the Whole world.
This pink wave is sweeping the entire world, almost doing nothing harmful or positive for everyone.
New buildings have simply appeared on the globe; documents that never existed before have appeared in international archives; a lot of people have earned jobs for the Jumpwagon Foundation.
Third and final event, in the exact place where the lightning struck, two particular individuals have appeared who will join the Bizarre and the Monstrous in a peculiar eccentric journey.
These two individuals are Asuka Vritra and Bruce Bahamut Belmont.
Asuka Vritra is a 16 year old girl with tanned skin, her body is slender and well trained as if she were a swimmer or a boxer.
Asuka has a slightly above average height (161cm), with a large bust (B79-W53-H84)
Asuka's long purple-pink hair, thanks to a black ribbon, is gathered into a ponytail that reaches down to the thighs and a triangular fringe in the front that barely touches the crest of the nose, with an ahoge protruding from the top of the head. .
Asuka is not a human being, this can be understood from her extra characteristics.
A pair of golden horns that go straight to her forehead, her ears are slightly pointed as if she were some kind of half-elf.
Asuka suffers from heterochromia, left eye is pure silver color, right eye is pure gold color, one thing in common with these eyes is vertical reptilian pupils.
This girl is wearing provocative clothing.
His face is covered with a Kakashi Hatake-style mask that covers his face up above his nose.
Around the colo he wears a black leather collar, decorated with a heart-shaped silver lock.
She wears a black crop top, showing off her bare stomach.
Around his toned stomach is a flashy circle tattoo that might look like a magic circle.
Wearing a red-black leather jacket, on the shoulders of the jacket they find black-gold shoulder pads with an elaborate design.
She wears tight black shorts, cut on the outer hips and top that highlight her buttocks.
The rest of his equipment consists of black-red knee and elbow pads.
Finally, wear feminine boots with heels that reach up to the knees.
The boots are made of black snake skin, decorated with three golden buttons similar to ancient coins.
Bruce Belmont is an 18 year old, 171 centimeters tall, slender and thin, almost to be classified as underweight.
Her snow-white hair is kept short and combed back, leaving a single tuft to fall forward.
For the most part, Bruce's clothing looks like something out of a Film Noir, although there are elements reminiscent of Fantasy or Cyberpunk.
At the moment, the entire face is covered with a visor and a gas mask.
The upper part of the face is hidden by a huge V-shaped visor with a single red eye, the visor has two huge ear-like constructs that come out of its sides that graze the back of her head.
The lower part of the face is covered with a kind of futuristic gas mask. (Imagine Code Vein's Purifier Masks, precisely Louis Amamiya's mask)
He wears black armor made from a special material yet to be discovered by humanity at the present time, which consisted of a fitted, sleeveless black shirt with silver accents outlining his muscles.
The entire right hand is covered in a high-tech silver-black glove, with a design reminiscent of Iron-man's main weapon.
Bruce also carries a metal belt that could belong to Batman in terms of functionality and armament in the form of small gadgets.
The superhero belt on the side carries two prominent items.
On the left side of the belt is a coiled whip, while on the right side is a book-like box that can hold very special devices.
Bruce wears black pants covered with more pockets than anything the common person has ever seen.
He wears black military infantry boots, which feature crimson trim, a gold cross along the tongue of the boots, and silver metal spikes.
Finally, he proudly wears an old leather coat that may have been created towards the end of the Victorian era.
The coat is mainly fiery red with black trim, featuring a large number of pockets and zippers.
The left sleeve has been cut so that it can expose Bruce's devilish forearm.
Just like Asuka, Bruce also possesses inhuman characteristics.
A single crimson horn curling upward is found on the right side of its head.
Starting from the elbow down to the fingertips, the forearm is almost completely covered in black scaly skin, except for the bright crimson streaks that run through it in its entirety.
The scales run on the back of the hand and on the outside of the fingers. The inside of the hand is dark red-black.
"Aniki, you have an unprecedented talent in inter-dimensional travel, you always end up in the best possible places." Asuka said, in a sarcastic tone, pointing to the numerous burning tombs.
Bruce turns to his travel companion, if his face was not hidden you could see an irritated frown.
"I've been a Planeswalker for a few months, don't expect too much of me, especially that we come to every world in the form of a bolt of lightning." Bruce said, folding his arms, not appreciating his "little sister" comment.
"Aniki, this time we have come to the right world or should I expect to meet again a team of six teens with colorful rompers and huge toys." Asuka comments, vividly recalling the previous trip attempt and how they ended up in a rather wacky world.
"Fighting with the Zyurangers wasn't that bad, especially when I got some similar souvenirs for my collection." Bruce said in a happy tone, patting the book-shaped container that holds her souvenirs from his last trips.
"That doesn't answer my question, are you in the World of a Kamen Rider, Super Sentai or are we in the World of Sexy Monster-Girls." She asks Asuka, giggling wickedly at the last part, playing with her fingers.
"Vitra, I'm sorry to break your fantasies, but we've come to the right place, I can feel it." Bruce said, looking in the direction of the moon, making sure that the breeze and the moonlight hit him in full.
"Don't be mysterious with me." Asuka said, not finding it funny when Bruce acts so theatrically as if he's the star of a movie.
"I know that when your brain sets foot in a new world, it updates itself with the common and hidden knowledge of that world." Asuka said, knowing full well how all the abilities of her "brother" work.
"A useful power, even if I could do without the migraines caused by the migraines of the new influx of information." Bruce said, touching his left temple, already starting to feel a little pain, as well as learning new facts about this world.
"Aniki, do you have any idea where she is when we are?" Question Asuka, having learned a long time ago that traveling with Bruce means traversing time and space in unusual ways.
On every journey, the position and time are never exactly exact.
"Why am I always the one who has to find out where we are?
How hard is it to take a little trip to a public library or read a newspaper? "Bruce said, not appreciating that Asuka uses him as a glorified tour guide, especially when she can get the same information on her own.
"Aniki, you are a walking library, with a built-in clock and GPS. Plus you know very well which of us have separation anxiety problems." Asuka said, in a mocking tone, implying that Bruce was having trouble being alone without her.
"Year 1987, 11:23 pm." Bruce replies, pretending not to have heard the mockery.
"At least the internet exists in this period. If I remember correctly, the first video game in the Final Fantasy series released by Square (Square Enix) created by Hironobu Sakaguchi is born." Asuka comments, finding two beautiful things about this particular year.
Bruce raises his head to gaze at the stars, using his knowledge of astronomy and geography to figure out his location.
It also helps that from the cemetery you can see an iconic monument of the place.
"We are located in Kyoto, a city in Japan of almost 1.46 million inhabitants, the capital of the prefecture of the same name." Bruce declares, knowing where they are precisely.
"Japan again?" Asuka said, in a tired tone, hitting a stone with her foot.
"This is the third time that our adventure has taken us to this block. Because we can't be in another country like Brazil." Asuka said, preferring to find us in a different country than Japan, wanting to try new experiences.
"When we were in the world of Drive, we stayed in Beverly Hills and went to every corner of the world." Bruce comments, having an easier time listing the countries they haven't been to here.
"Yes, we have been all over the globe to fight Roidmudes, defeat the nutcases who think they are super-crime geniuses, or save three cute spies.
We didn't have time to be a tourist and have a good time with the tourist attractions. "Asuka said, complaining that she could never enjoy anything beautiful during the travels of that time.
Bruce definitely wisely not to comment on what kind of "tourist attractions" Asuka wants to see.
Oddly, the Planeswalker, when he hears the words travel, feels a gut feeling that doesn't bode well.
'I think this time we won't be staying too much in one place. We could go on a long journey. ' Bruce thinks, knowing full well that he listens to his instinct which is never wrong.
Bruce prepares to leave this graveyard to figure out what his assigned role is in this world and what exactly he must do to gain the powers of the local Kamen Rider.
Each time he travels to a new world it means new rules, new skills, new challenges.
Plus somehow reality itself has changed to suit Bruce and you have his traveling companions, creating legal documentation and a new role to fill.
Suddenly, all of Bruce's senses were alerted by an unknown presence.
"Someone is watching us!" Bruce yells, holding his whip, preparing for a possible ambush as his shadow begins to move, splitting into seven parts, forming a kind of seven-point star.
"What are you saying, Aniki? I see nothing but a burning cemetery." Asuka asks, with a confused look, looking around and even sniffing the air, all in vain for finding nothing at all.
Bruce, having a more esoteric method of detection such as his shadow, is able to better capture the foreign presence.
"One, no! Two people are using some kind of unknown power to look at us for a few moments, the time it takes to take a picture." Says Bruce, mighty to have sworn to hear the noise of a camera taking a picture.
"Are you telling me that in this world, there are two people who can take clairvoyant photographs miles away to spy on people?" Asuka asks, having seen a lot of outlandish things on her journey with Bruce, but such skill is hardly absurd.
"I don't understand how or why, but we got the attention of two paparazzi masters." Bruce comments, quite sure that such a skill could wreak havoc in the fields of espionage, blackmail and journalism.
"Well we're masked, just change our look and they won't recognize us." Asuka said, in a happy tone, looking at the positive side of this whole thing.
Asuka and Bruce are dressed as if they stepped out of a Fantasy / Cyberpunk universe or a costume party.
With a simple change of dress and a few wigs no one will be able to recognize them.
"A good idea, because I doubt having a burning cemetery as a background is a good first impression." Bruce said, grabbing Asuka's hand and starting to run away from the burning landscape.

A few minutes ago.
In New York, in a building that once belonged to the Speedwagon Foundation, there are two important men for upcoming events.
The first person is a 69-year-old green-eyed Brit, 195 cm tall, with an extremely muscular physique.
His hair is short and gray, he sports a full but well-groomed beard.
Aside from the trench coat and fedora, he wore a turtleneck sweater, khakis, dress shoes, and brown gloves with dark cuffs.
He wears an outfit comparable to Indiana Jones' basic W outfit: a fedora; a light shirt, with short sleeves, without buttons; khaki pants; dress shoes; and white gloves with dark cuffs that hide his prosthetic hand.
This person is Joseph Joestar, a man who in his youth fought zombies, vampires, Nazi cyborgs, Pillar Men.
Now he's trying to get information to face his family's nemesis, DIO Brando.
Joseph prepares to use Hermit Purple, his special power that developed a year ago as a result of the return of DIO.
Old Joestar stands in front of a table with a flash camera on it.
Hermit Purple manifests as multiple, purple, thorn-covered vines appearing from Joseph's hands.
Hermit Purple's vines are relatively weak, but they provide Joseph with remarkable divination skills, allowing him to guess and materialize any type of information, such as an image, place, or even thoughts.
"Hermit Purple!" Shouts Joseph, performing a karate move on the flash camera, destroying it.
Despite its damaged state, it managed to produce an image.
This is the power of Hermit Purple, to create psychic photographs by destroying a camera.
Once broken, the camera produces a photograph that reveals the information as it is at that moment, like a person in their current situation.
Unfortunately the photograph did not produce an image of the Joestar nemesis.
When Joseph used the power of Hermit Purple, a certain Planeswalker and his traveling companion arrived in this world, causing some kind of spiritual interference.
"This is new news!" Joseph exclaims, taking the psychic photograph and examining it, finding something new that he has never seen in his life.
"Mr. Joestar, did something happen?" Question Avdol, a good friend of Joseph, who decided to help him in his battle against DIO.
Avdol is a twenty year old of Egyptian origin, with dark skin, 188 centimeters tall. He physically he is almost as muscular as Joseph.
Her main attire consists of a long overcoat or robe with long sleeves up to the wrist and a scarf around her neck.
He has two identical scars running down his cheeks.
She wears a headband or veil wrapped around her forehead and keeps her hair in a style reminiscent of Bantu knots, as well as wearing a long ponytail.
She wears earrings composed of a single long chain of medallions, similar to a necklace. The largest of these medallions is engraved with the Egyptian symbol ankh; a large bow hangs from this medallion, resting on top of the chest.
The smaller medallions are engraved with various other symbols. Wear a variable number of thick metallic bracelets on both wrists.
"Abdul, I have discovered something that could help us." Joseph said, interpreting this unexpected result as a good sign.
"Were you able to find out where DIO is?" Avdol asks, hoping that Joseph has discovered the location of the Secular Vampire.
"No. Hermit Purple, instead of showing me DIO, revealed to me the presence of two particular individuals who can be users of Stands and more." Joseph said, passing the photograph to Avdol.
The photograph shows Asuka and Bruce talking to each other, completely ignoring the burning graveyard and the occasional bone raining from the sky.
If the extravagant clothing and the presence of horns sticking out of their heads weren't enough to attract attention.
Hermit Purple somehow managed it captured a lot more than expected.
On the photograph there is evidence of some undefined entities that are behind the two horned men.
Behind the girl (Asuka) there appears to be a bulky and muscular figure with large bull horns, however the details are obscured.
Behind the person Joseph believes is a boy (Bruce), a tall, slender and thin humanoid figure can be seen with eight thin things sticking out of his back.
Unfortunately, this second figure is also obscured by shadows.
If that wasn't enough to get Joseph and Abdul's attention, there are still two oddities in the photograph.
The shadow of the person wearing a futuristic visor appears to be divided into seven parts.
In this strange shadow we can see the silhouette of seven people with a rather imaginative look.
Finally, above the head of the strange couple there appears to be a semi-transparent figure that looks like some sort of angel / demon with six wings and a centipede tail ...
"I think you have found two rather bizarre individuals." Abdul comments, trying to use his fortune-telling talent to better understand who these two are.
But their masquerade is the shadows of their stands and what else makes his job more difficult.
"Looks like I'll see Holly and Jotaro again sooner than expected. Abdul, let's go to Japan!" Says Joseph, ready to travel to the other side of the world to find out who these two are and if they can help him in his battle against DIO.
"Japan, what do they say they are in Japan?" Abdul asks, having glimpsed no clue as to the whereabouts of these particular individuals.
"Look carefully at this tombstone, it says: Here rests Takatoshi Narumi, Mayor of Kyoto." Joseph said, pointing his finger at a precise point in the background of the photograph.
"It looks like we're going to Japan." Abdul said, as he was going to pack his bags for this trip.

Meanwhile somewhere in Cairo, the great capital of Egypt, stands on the Nile River.
The nemesis of the Joestars was lucky enough to use his Stand, at the precise moment of Joseph, obtaining the same photograph.
The Great Evil of this story is DIO Brando, a 20-year-old Vampire, 195 centimeters tall, with long golden hair.
DIO has an extremely muscular build, most likely due to his vampiric nature and extensive training.
Just like every member of the Joestar family, DIO has a star on the back of his left shoulder.
If you look closely you will notice a sort of jagged line around the man's neck, as if it had been cut.
"The world is truly full of surprises." DIO said, looking at the photograph, unable to help but feel intrigued by these two individuals.
"You have no idea, Lord DIO." Said an unknown voice to the secular vampire.
In the private room of DIO Brando three figures have appeared; two young adults and an older gentleman.
The first young adult is a beautiful woman, 170 centimeters tall.
Her brown hair is lightly braided at the base, tied at the back and laid over her shoulders.
She wears a faded blue jacket and skirt, with silver holes on a light gray collar and high black boots with cuffs and kneecaps. She is Aura.
The second young adult is a man of short height, 160 centimeters. His black hair is up to the neck.
He wore a blue jacket with silver buttons and zippers, blue trousers and silver shoes. He is Wool.
The last person is an older man, black hair combed back, wearing a long purple and black robe with silver rings piercing the bottom of the robe, a purple "sweat band" on his right hand, a black collar and a left shrug, a black 'exposed' sleeve with closure.
The latter is Swartz.
The three of them are Time Jackers are a group of individuals trying to alter history and prevent Bruce Bahamut Belmont from becoming the Time Demon You, Ohma Zi-O.
This time they decided to work with DIO Brando to stop the Planeswalker's journey.
"Lord DIO did you ever want to become the King of Time?" Swartz asks, walking over to the Secular Vampire, handing him another watches from Kiva.
Anotherwatches is a pocket watch-like device that the Time Jackers use to make contracts with people they've turned into Another Riders.
Another Riders are created when an individual comes into contact with an Anotherwatch, which has absorbed the power of a Kamen Rider, and has the clock inserted into their body.
These Anotherwatches can only be created by a Time Jacker, who can then insert the Ridewatch into himself or a host of his choice.
The resulting transformation is a monstrous aberration that appears to be a hybrid between their host Rider and their contemporary monsters.
"This century is so full of surprises." DIO said, smiling devilishly, deciding to listen to what Swartz had to say.

Stand (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 - Stardust Crusaders) (400):
There is a power in this world which few know of or possess - the manifestation of one's soul into a fighting spirit called a stand, and it seems you've awakened yours.
A stand is a spiritual being who's image and abilities are a reflection of your soul, essentially your soul manifested as a ghost which stands by your side, hence the name. As it is your soul, any damage done to your stand is transferred to you.
Stands possess many unique and bizarre abilities, though most are geared for combat.
Almost no two stands are alike: some may manifest as a humanoid ghost while others take the form of a vine, a book, a puppet or a sword. Since they are spirits, non-stand users cannot see or perceive stands. Each stand has unique abilities, some simple and others miraculous.
They can range from simply punching or manipulating an element to controlling the weather, shapeshifting, healing, erasing things out of existence, or even manipulating space, time and parallel universes.
There's seemingly no limit to what a stand may be capable of. Keep in mind that any rules which apply to stands will often have exceptions, as stands are just that varied and bizarre.
Your stand's level of strength will depend on the tier of this perk you took. If free, your stand is something like Thoth: it has utility and can certainly be helpful in day to day life, it may even make you rich or famous, but it will be of almost no use in a fight directly and would get obliterated by almost any other stand.
For 100CP your stand has an alright amount of combat ability or utility but would still fall short of the stands the Crusaders possess, save Hermit Purple. This would include stands such as The Emperor or Ebony Devil.
For 200CP, your stand has either great combat potential like Silver Chariot and Star Platinum or a powerful unique ability like the Hanged Man or Cream (keep in mind a stand's unique ability may give it great combat potential, but in a contest of raw power, speed and durability it won't hold a candle to something like Star Platinum).
For 400CP your stand is at the very apex: it possesses both incredible combat potential and a unique ability which dwarfs all others save for The World itself. The only stands which surpass yours are typically created by special circumstances like being stabbed with a unique stand granting arrow or following a complex ritual, as such your stand cannot reach the likes of those stands, but excluding them your stand is at the top.
