Those Years I Was Kamen Rider

(An original setting. Please don’t assume it follows any existing canon.)

Earth has always been a place beset by disasters. A few years ago, it finally dealt with an invasion from another world, and now the monsters are rising again.

But none of this had anything to do with Cang, who had just graduated. At the time, he was just an ordinary high school graduate, about to confess his feelings to the girl he had a crush on.

But fate never lets people live in peace. Whether by chance or destiny, he has no choice but to embark on a hero’s path watered with blood.

Because he inherited a hero’s name. Because... he is Kamen Rider.

(Slow burn, with a focus on growth)
