Enigmatic Encounter!

Hayato had always been an ordinary man leading an unremarkable life in the bustling city of Tokyo. He was a salaryman, diligently working his days away and finding solace in his love for tokusatsu shows, with their heroic masked knights and thrilling battles. Little did he know that his life was about to take a dramatic turn.

One fateful evening, as Hayato commutes home from work, tragedy strikes. Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, he becomes an innocent victim in a sudden accident, losing his life in the process.

As his spirit begins to fade into the void, Hayato finds himself in the presence of a radiant being, the Goddess of Reincarnation. She gazes at him with compassion, her voice resonating with divine power.

Goddess of Reincarnation: "Hayato, your time in this world has been cut short. But there is a greater destiny awaiting you. An evil force is about to awaken in a world known as Rith'mar. I offer you a chance at redemption, to become the hero who will stand against this darkness."

Confused and disoriented, Hayato hesitates, his earthly desires still lingering.

Hayato: "But... I have a life here. I have unfinished business. I can't just leave everything behind."

Goddess of Reincarnation: "Your life can be restored, and your purpose will be greater than ever before. Embrace this opportunity, and I shall grant you the power you seek."

Hayato's reluctance angers the Goddess, who, in her frustration, uses her divine authority to force him into the realm of Rith'mar against his will.

As Hayato regains consciousness, he finds himself in an ancient temple, bewildered and disoriented. He looks down to see that he is still wearing his work attire, and his bag remains by his side.

Hayato: "What is happening? Where am I? And where is that goddess?"

With the absence of the Goddess of Reincarnation, Hayato's frustration grows, and he curses her name.

Determined to find a way out, Hayato begins rummaging through his bag, hoping to find something that might provide answers or assistance.

Inside the bag, he discovers his wallet, smartphone, notebook, pen, lighter, cigarettes, and a few snack bars. However, nothing seems particularly useful in his current predicament.

Undeterred, Hayato surveys his surroundings, his gaze fixed on finding an escape route. He begins exploring the temple, searching for any signs of an exit.

After a while, Hayato reaches a dead end, surrounded by ancient walls. Frustrated and feeling hopeless, he remembers the abilities the Goddess bestowed upon him.

Hayato: "Appraise!"

He lightly touches his hand to the wall, and suddenly, a game-like floating window appears before his eyes, revealing information about the wall.

Hayato: "Just old stones covered in rust and moss... What a disappointment."

Disappointed by the lack of any useful information, Hayato decides to try another ability, one he calls "Enigma Vision." With a similar gesture as before, he focuses his thoughts and activates the power.

Hayato's vision shifts, revealing a hidden mechanism that was previously concealed.

Hayato: "There's something there! I need to investigate!"

Eager to uncover the secrets within the temple, Hayato makes his way towards the mechanism and triggers it. The walls begin to move, revealing a pathway to a room pulsating with an enigmatic aura.

Hayato hesitates at the entrance, unsure of what he might find within. But his curiosity gets the better of him, drawing him closer to the center of the room.

There, amidst the mysterious atmosphere, Hayato lays eyes on a strange yet oddly familiar object—a device similar to those used in his favorite tokusatsu TV shows for transformation.

Hayato: "Is this what I think it is? It can't be..."

Unable to resist the pull, Hayato instinctively reaches out and touches the object. As his hand makes contact, a gentle voice echoes in his head.

Luna: "Greetings, Hayato. I am Luna, the spirit residing within this Enigmatic Driver."

Hayato, both bewildered and intrigued, listens intently to Luna's explanation.

Luna: "The Enigmatic Driver, or EnigDriver as we like to call it, is a powerful device that requires Enigmatic Modules, or EnigMods, to activate. These modules grant you extraordinary abilities and transform you into the hero Rith'mar desperately needs."

Hayato's eyes widen with excitement and anticipation as Luna continues.

Luna: "There are three types of EnigMods: Armament EnigMods, Myth EnigMods, and Blank EnigMods. Each bestows unique powers and allows you to tap into different aspects of your heroic potential."

After a lengthy explanation from Luna, Hayato nods his head in understanding, still trying to process the extraordinary circumstances he finds himself in.

Luna: "Ah, there's something else inside your bag, Hayato. It appears to be a smartphone. Could you take it out, please?"

Confused, Hayato retrieves his smartphone from his bag and holds it in his hand, waiting for further instruction.

Hayato: "What's the purpose of my phone in all of this?"

Luna: "We can synchronize your EnigDriver with your smartphone, Hayato. It will allow you to access vital information, communicate with me more easily, and even utilize certain EnigMod abilities through a dedicated app called 'EnigApp.'"

Intrigued by the proposition, Hayato accepts Luna's offer. As Luna guides him through the synchronization process, his phone begins to glow, undergoing a transformation of its own. It now features a slot on the side, specifically designed to house an EnigMod.

Hayato notices the absence of the battery bar on his phone's screen, prompting him to question Luna.

Hayato: "What happened to the battery indicator on my phone?"

Luna: "You no longer need it, Hayato. The EnigDriver's power will keep your phone charged indefinitely."

As the synchronization is complete, the temple surrounding them begins to crumble, signaling danger. Hayato grips the EnigDriver tightly in his hand and starts running, following Luna's guidance through the collapsing structure.

Finally, Hayato reaches the exit, only to witness the temple crumbling into ruins behind him. Exhausted from the ordeal, he collapses to the ground, unaware of the potential threats lurking in the shadows around him.

Suddenly, a wolf-like creature emerges from the darkness, lunging at Hayato. However, thanks to Luna's warning, he manages to roll away, narrowly evading the attack.

Hayato stands cautiously, his mind racing for a plan. He decides to use his Appraisal ability on the creature, revealing its information.

Hayato: "Swift Wolf, an inhabitant of Aerinor Forest. Fierce and agile."

The failed attack prompts the swift wolf to howl, summoning its pack to surround Hayato. Realizing the dire situation, Hayato follows Luna's guidance and fastens the EnigDriver to his waist.

Luna: "Grab the Blank EnigMod from the right holster, Hayato."

Hayato swiftly retrieves the Blank EnigMod, having a sense of familiarity with the scenario. Without hesitation, he inserts the EnigMod into the middle slot of the EnigDriver, expecting something to happen.

However, disappointment washes over Hayato as nothing appears to change. Fear begins to creep in.

Luna: "Now, chant 'Enigma Change!'"

Hayato takes a deep breath and follows Luna's instruction. As he does, his body starts to emit a radiant glow, and before his eyes, his attire transforms into a sleek black suit adorned with silver armor and a futuristic helmet that perfectly matches the EnigDriver's design.
