"Houtarou, what is this story" One of the teacher said as she slam the table as she point the paper I wrote as Houtarou jerked up "Huh what? Sorry I fell asleep during your yapping. Now what were you saying again?" Honestly he has been to busy doing stuff to pay attention in class
"Youth is a lie... We spend our life going around aimlessly as the quote on quote higher ups control our life as they steal our freedom... What is this!?" She shouted as Houtarou just watched her break down his report. To be honest, it really does feel like that... The constraint of life, the lack of authority, the illusion of freedom and choices. He has never really realized how limited humans are... In a way it's a bit sad, maybe a bit sour.
"Are you even listening!?" the teacher shouted as Houtarou merely yawned "Yeah, I listen to you recap my report for the last... 5 minutes and 39 seconds" Houtarou said as she merely looked confused. "Listen lady... The topic of the essay was write down what you thought of your youth and of others and I did. I merely stated that it was bland and stale, being led by a blindfold via strings"
Houtarou stood up as he walked around the room "I don't care if you give me a 0, I know you won't but youth is a lie and a delusion for those who cannot accept reality. Welp I got to get going, my mother is waiting for me" Houtarou said as he left the room.
Walking down the hallway, he strut. That's right not a walk or anything, but a strut like he does not care at all. And to be fair he barely does care. Well that's a lie as he does care about a few things but...
"Houtarou-san" hearing a voice behind, Houtarou turned around to see his definitely not suspicious teacher, Minato Hatake and no joke he does resemble Kakashi to an extent. Oh he's holding out another paper, great can't wait to see what this is about.
"Can you explain to me what you just filled in?" Minato said as he held out my 'future job paper' that I wrote nothing
"Ur... Well teach, I don't know if you have lost your eyesight but there's nothing on it" I said rolling my eyes as Minato merely sighed. Honestly, Houtarou is a smart kid... A bit too smart, and arrogant. But he's weird to say the very least as it seems like despite wanting to help people out of good intention, he's definitely hiding something. That much he can tell.
Minato merely cough again as he said "Yeah I can see that but when I ask about future aspiration, I wanted you to fill it in. Listen Houtarou, this is a very important part of your life, the time where you decide what you want to be in the future so that I and the other teachers ca-"
Houtarou held up a hand as he interrupted his teach "Oh don't worry, I know what I want to be in the future... In fact I already know it. The paper merely said to fill out your future aspiration. I do not have an aspiration"
Minato raised an eyebrow as he merely gazed as him "Hoh? And what would that be?". Houtarou merely smiled as Minato looked passively, trying to analyze him.
Hero of justice
... A moment of silence then followed by Minato huh? was broken by Houtarou laughter as he doubled over. "Oh man... sorry sorry. No but really I do have something in mind. Don't worry about it, I got a plan"
Suddenly he saw another girl pass by, the class princess Rinne Kudo, honestly Houtarou would call her beautiful aside from the sheer fact she looks and feel like cardboard full of holes.
"Houtarou-san" "Miss America 1.0 looking ass" Houtarou said as Minato merely sighed as he got used to this one-sided bickering whilst Rinne glare whilst blushing. I don't know if she thinks I am complimenting her or something but yeah.
"Ah, I almost forgot, Rinne you didn't fill in your form" Minato said as she merely said in a hurry "You already know what my future is gonna be". I saw this as a golden opportunity to say "So your dad is gonna marry you off to some old guy? What a bastard if you as-" "SHUT UP!" she said as she all but lunge for me as Minato stops her, to be honest this reaction shocked me for all the wrong reason as I merely walked off laughing with spring in my shoes
Hello everyone, my name is Houtarou Ichinose, your average 17 year old highschooler. I suppose that being head chef at your family restaurant is a high achievement
"Oi! Houtarou-san! More of that Kabuto special please" "Osu!" "Can we get that Mebius special edition curry again? My grandso-" "Don't worry ma'am I still got some of the ingredients to make it" "Honestly kid, this is better than those so called fancy western restaurants!
I merely laugh as to be honest... My cooking is a bit lacking, I mean I am pretty good don't get me wrong as I am quite confident I can stack up against Michelin star chef. However, if my food isn't glowing gold and causing orgasm and clothes to explode... Then it's shit in my eyes. I mean I got people to praise me and even defeated a 5 star hotel but... Just no...
Oh were was I again? Oh right, I have a little secret... I was actually reincarnated. One night I was finishing watching Kamen Rider Geats and suddenly my house blew up from a truck... Yep... Don't know why?
I am not stupid or anything. I have read some isekai novel and naturally accepted my situation very fast. But I am not stupid, I saw that trailer for Kamen Rider Gotchard and a few leaks online. The fact that me and the protagonist have the same name and face (-ish) is concerning. But for 5 years after my rebirth... I had no proof other than my delusions and merely trained in hope that I was right...
I think I was.
When I was near my 6th birthday... I woke up... At 3 AM... Not only was that weird but I felt energetic and felt something ringing in the back of my mind. After a few days during which I celebrated my Birthday, I received vague memories and dreams that convinced me of a few things
1. There is a veil of normalcy hiding the supernatural
2. Magic or some form of it exist
3. I am in fact Gotchard
4. I can do magic
And so for the next 12 years or so I practiced both my body and mind. I decided to use what little knowledge of the Nasuverse I had to train myself in Kalaripayattu, Bajiquan and yoga as that's surprisingly useful. I also tried to use 'magic' but after a month of blowing up trees I realized we were dealing with Wizard rules so I used all of my allowance to buy a shody gem and well... It blew up.
Like it literally blew up in my face and thank god I got out of there in time because otherwise I would have been cooked. So I just resorted to meditation and internal practicing. The results are definitely showing.
But to be fair I think I was born... Better. Like not to brag or anything, but even before I use magic to enhance my body, I felt stronger and faster than in my previous mind and the fact that I can learn and comprehend this stuff at the age of 6 (even with the maturity of an adult) is impressive.
Welp in short, I have yet to achieve the level of becoming one with the universe or instant teleportation but I am getting there.
[Time skip]
What a beautiful day in the totally real land of Erikusa, heading toward Furasu High school. Ah the sun is shining, the children are playing, the birds are singing... A train is departing from the sky...
OMO
Denliner? Wait no this look like a steam train... Steamliner?
"STEAM!" The train shout as I got a vague memory flash, fuck it's hard to remember. "Hopper!"... Kamen Rider... Ichigo... "Hopper-1?" I said as I held the creature in my hand... My Gotcha... I am... I am...
"STEAM!" I understood the concept behind it words as I board the train... And instantly we took off to the sky... I remember being in a similar situation like this but I can't recall it for the life of me.
Finishing wiping the rest of the citizen mind Rinne call into her phone "Hai, I have erased all the memories of the citizen... Yes, it was confirmed that the chemmy in question was Steamliner chemy... Yes I will keep on looking for more details. Don't worry Mintato-sensei I won't let my feelings interfere with my mission" Sighing Rinne look down at her ring... A memento from her father...
[Ouroboros Realm]
Arriving at a train station that resemble a certain Sentai, I look out that the familiar yet distant landscape and stepped out of the cart. Looking around, I finally saw it... A bunch of cards...
'Chemy' a voice in my mind reminded me as I remember a few more stuff.
"I see... It turns out to be you. I expected nothing less" turning around, I saw an overly familiar man...
"Dad?"
At that moment, he stopped and reeled back "Huh?" oo. Yeah so not my best moment but he seemed really familiar to me.
"Urm... No I am not your dad... But I do hope to be your father in law one day if that's possible" he said smiling a bit "My name is Fuga Kudo"
That last name sounded familiar "Are you related to Rinne Kudo by any c-?" I didn't get to finish that sentence as he rushed up and shook me "You know my daughter? How is she? Is she doing ok? Is she BLAH BLAH BLAH" honestly I couldn't up... What a great father.
"Urm well... She is as stiff as a cardboard box" I said honestly as the Fuga became visibly depressed before sighing.
"I am running out of time but... Houtarou-san, if you were to find her, please give this letter to her" he said as he gave me a red envelope that seems cleaner than him. As I took it, I noticed a fireball heading toward me as Fuga raised his hand and blocked it.
I suddenly saw it, 3 girl who looks vaguely familiar... Too familiar, as if they were just copy pasted.
"Hoh, that handsome uncle met up with a cute boy" the one that looked like a tomboy said as she smiles... Dangerous (?) is what I got from her as the youngest one (Wow kids huh?) look passively and said "Fuga Kudo..." the other 2 sister fired off a beam of golden light as he quickly raised a shield to block them
"Muda, give us the key to the door of darkness" the youngest said as Fuga turned around to me and transfer the driver to me. I held it in awe as he said something along the lines of "From today on... You're the guardian of Chemmy and mankind... I knew that destiny was guiding you toward something... I only wish"
BOOM
As the explosion occurred I was teleported back to my own dimension, alongside the 100 Chemmy cards
[Across the city]
"Dozen of weird creature has gack-" a new reporter said before passing out as an alchemist wiped her memory and used some alchemy to mess with the tv
"This is a disaster" he said as his associate begun to mind wipe the populace. Fuck we need more people in this city, this is fucking insane honestly we are understaff. Like I mean it's not their fault as no one expected a fucking chemmy outbreak in a small city.
Welp shit what a day
[With our protagonist]
"So pretty lady" Houtarou said as he stood calmly, facing the sadist girl "May I know your name?" I smirked as she smirked back
"Flirting won't get you anywhere, pretty boy" she said as she stepped forward to me "So why don't you give me that key of yours and I promise to make your death less painful" she said playfully as we begun to circle each other. I begun to laugh as I told her "Go fuck yourself" I said as I held my driver...

[Rising fighter - Beverly]
Give up my chance to become a Kamen Rider?
Fuck off
I got scammed by Bandai from a genuine Kamen Rider belt
And now she wants me to give it up?
Fuck her
Her expression turned sour as she took over a human with the Kamantis chemy "This is the last name you will ever know... Lachesis". She said as she slash the ground. I merely laugh as I said "Well... My name is Houtarou Ichinose, 17 year old high schooler. And this is my Gotchadriver" I held out the Gotchardriver as it suddenly shined. My eyes widen as Lachesis looked shocked, at least I think she is since her surprisingly organic face looked shocked "What? How did you? This shouldn't be possible!" She said like a certain young master who is about to get the beat down of the century.
When it was over... The Gotchardriver looked red like someone gave it a paint over (Imagine the Houtarou ver.) I smiled... Is this my ability? The standard treatment for an isekai protagonist? Fuck me, I am getting a boner.
(little did he know Lachesis is blushing...)
I smiled as I put it on my waist, "Gotchadriver!"
Pulling up 2 cards, Hopper-1 and Steamliner I saw them shined as they evolved (?) as they screamed in shock and surprise.
"This is... X-liner and Hopper-Ichigo!" I held out X-Liner and Hopper-Ichigo (X-Liner has a giant X on it face as instead of being a steam train it's not a bullet train with hover pads and a futuristic looks whilst Hopper Ichigo have a red scarf and silver hands and leg with a black underbody)
"X-LINER! HOPPER!" The 2 chemy shouted out with pride as they felt the power coursing through them. Lachesis stepped back as she asked 'What happened? What's going on? How? Why? Why her? Fuck did this human just evolve a chemy?' She shook her head as she clenched her fist "Houtarou! I am going to crush you beneath my feet"
"Bitch you're going to be licking my feet by the time I am done!" I said as I put the 2 card into the Gotchard driver
X-Liner! Hopper-Ichigo!
Doing the classic Kamen Rider Ichigo henshin, I then did a triangle shape with my hand as I shouted out "Henshin!"
Gotchanko! X-Hopper!
As the steam depart I felt it... Power, coursing through my veins as I look at myself... My hands seems to be silver with a red X made of 2 arrows pointing at each other and attached onto its knuckles. It's connected to a cyan pad with a dark green outline. Raising my leg into a pose I felt my muscles straining with power as I looked at the lime green outline.
(The armor is mostly the same with a red scarf instead and the upper body having the cyan outlined with dark green. The furnace is now a blue fire that has a red X outlining it as most of the silver is monochrome itself. There is a giant X made of 2 arrows pointing toward each other on his knuckles. His legs are mostly the same but with a lime green outline and lines alongside hover pads on his shoes his hand is obviously silver. His head is mostly the same but with red goggles similar to daybreak Gotchard)
"... Now... The highlight" I said as I finished posing. Lachesis tried to charge at me but I merely stood there as she charged with her scythe ready to cut me down. Deciding on being cool like Ultraman Agul I decided to shout out my attack like a guy with delusional syndrome... Well fuck you assholes as I am actually a Kamen Rider now.
"6 Grand opening - Buddha palm!" I said as shift my leg slightly left whilst stationing myself as I instantly stepped toward her. In a mere instant I got close enough to her as I instantly felt my body floating a bit as Lachesis could barely register the shock on her face as she tried to swing her hand down. But I managed to lower my body and pushed her back with my open palm sumo style as she was sent flying. She then hit a rail as it dented as she was deflected and sent flying upward.
'Fuck... That move is definitely powerful' I thought as I looked at my fist, combining Bajiquan and sumo was a good idea... The closing act that induce shock and then the surprise push that no one expects... The little touch where I fake a hook only to prep myself for a palm strike to the lower area... Genius
"Who are you!?" I heard a voice and turned around... Eh Rinne? She was holding some kind of ring at me as it glowed... Time to troll "Hoh? That ring? Are you proposing?" She instantly blush a bit but scowled and said "First of all, as an alchemist, I am taking you down"
...
...
...
...
...
Alchemist?
Fuck yo ass, this entire time I have been doing magic, it turns out to be alchemy? I am sorry isn't alchemy supposed to turn iron into gold? What kind of alchemy can do this shit? Fuck me... Fullmetal alchemist and Type-Moon fuck damn it I corrected myself.
Suddenly I turn around and saw the monster of the week landing as she pants. I can see that she is in pain and confused, Bajiquan is meant to damage the inside instead whilst ignoring the outside.
[POV switch]
As she pants she can't help but feel it... Fear? Fuck... No... She's Lachesis, one of the dark sister created by her master Glion to open the door of darkness... She can't be beaten by a hu-
As she spat out blood, she saw that... Thing... Walk toward her as it seems to mock her... It's mocking her. That move earlier was deadly, that if she hadn't used her wings, she would have died due to the backlash... Fortunately there were some humans nearby to harvest despair from so she could heal. But she won't lose to a human... It's merely an inferior thing compared to her... She wants to be broken by him... Wait what?
"Blood... That's blood in your hand." The Thing merely stated as it walked to her, way too quickly, is he floating?
Gotchanko
"Sah" Gotchard said as he knelt down and raised a fist... It was calm and peaceful, as if he was merely talking about the weather... Yet that was more terrifying as despite knowing that he can and could kill her... There was no killer intent but merely nothing
"Will you die by my fist or my leg?" Lachesis stood up as she tried to chuckle... A bit hard with blood (a mix of hers and others) spit out "I do rather not die at all" she said trying to fly away but
Suddenly Gotchard appears before her vision and she saw but one word...
DEATH

In lieu of a hundred techniques, I strike with but one.
There truly is No Second Strike...
Ha!
She felt her senses go into overdrive as he punched her... She felt herself separating from the chemy as she was sent flying backward... Did he hold back? Impossible right?
As she stood up weakly, her clothes ruined, both she and Rinne saw a scene that shocked them for life. As Gotchard superhero landed, he held Kamantis on his arm like a mother holding her baby
"It's alright, it's over now... It's ok..." He said as he comforted Kamantis. Honestly it was a sharp contrast to the God of war he was earlier, that it was somewhat comical on how much of a switch he has.
Lachesis tried to get up but felt it... Something is wrong with her alchemy, like something about her body is malfunctioning, and most of all... She can't feel most of her insides... She is so numb and broken.
suddenly a shadow overtook her as she evacuated to recuperate
[POV switch]
'What the fuck was that? Too weak?' Houtarou thought as how come was one of the teased big bad so... Weak? He has been training his ass off for 17 years and got all these crazy powerup and... This is it? He held back in case if it was Novice protection period or tutorial or easy mode shit but nope... She is just too weak... Honestly he's letting her go as he sense that it might be a bit too easy if he kills her... I mean what if the boss behind her show up and GG everyone?
As he comforted Kamantis... He can't help but feel like... A mother... I mean a father... Taking care of his kids... To be honest, dad is dead and died a long time ago and in his other life, his parents were too busy to give him parental affection... Is this what... It feels like? It feels good.
Kamantis looked at me as Hopper-Ichigo and X-Liner hopped out and started exchanging words
"Hopper! Liner! Kaman! Hopper Hopper!"
I translated it as 'if you join master he will give you a big power up!" or something along that line. I held out a card like X-Liner instructed me to and Kamantis touched it... Kamantis shining as it evolved into -
"Wait! Are you an alchemist!? If so then who are you!? A rogue!? How did you transmute the chemy!?" Rinne said as she took a few boulder and prep to throw them at me if worse come to shove.
I merely glanced at her for interrupting the evolution screen as I flash step her, whispering into her ear "I am just a passing through Alchemist" before using those hover pads and removing air resistance to not cause a sonic boom.
Rinne stood there in shock with her pride barely intact as she shouted out "EH!"
Next time on Kamen Rider Gotchard
"Come on Skebow!" "Odorippa! Do you really want to be contained by them?" "Project Avalon start!"
Wow, a lot to talk about eh? First of all
That's right! Houtarou Ichinose is an isekai protagonist. For starters, he only watched the trailer and knows of a few spoilers. Nothing else aside from his Tokusatsu and anime knowledge
He got that protagonist treatment obviously, and can upgrade his chemy card and anything he touched
Abilities:
Bajiquan, Kalaripayattu, Sumo, ninjutsu, Jiujitsu and many other martial arts. He's as strong as... Kamen Rider Kuuga base form in human form. He's a master cook, enough to be in the top 10, but not Food wars level (yet). Super intelligent and fast learner
In Kamen Rider form, his X-Hopper form has electromagnetic manipulation and air manipulation. But the trade off are that he can't turn into steam now, instead having to use martial arts instead.
Honestly I felt like the 3 dark sisters were for playing around in Houtarou hand ngl.
But yeah. He can upgrade. Oh and he can't replicate NP (yet) but he's good enough to use Alchemy and Rider ability to substitute his lacking in martial arts.
