(The protagonist is not a villain or has gray morality, maybe he will have such morality in the future, but I don't plan on it for now) (Author's Note: While this work takes itself seriously and the plot is meaningful, please know that alongside action and adventure, there’s a strong focus on comedy. Additionally, it draws inspiration not only from Tokusatsu but also from other works outside the genre. Chapters will generally be long, with occasional exceptions. With that said, I hope you enjoy it.)
