A/N: There will be timeline shifts throughout the story, but it will start at the very beginning of the saiyan saga. It will focus more on training the other Z-Fighters because of Goku's immeasurable power. This is my first ever fanfiction story so I will do my best to write a long and full one. Also the point of view will be from Goku or it will switch to narration/third-person. Enjoy.

Chapter 1

Despair

I'm Alone. Walking on the sidewalks of West City on a moonlit night sometime around 2am. Taking in the scenery while looking up at the moon that has been long ago wished back by the dragon while reminiscing the past from when I was a boy. The dragon balls were a great inspiration for adventure when I was much younger, but now they serve as a reminder of who I once was. All of the friends that I have made on my journey, and now all of them are in the afterlife. Without me.

All my family members and friends are all enjoying their afterlife, while I protect the earth from invaders and threats.

It's been over 300 years since the earth was in danger, and that was the first encounter with Lord Beerus.

It is Age 1089, which makes me 353 years old. I gained immortality accidentally when I mastered and enveloped the true form of ultra instinct. It transformed me into a saiyan god and I cannot die to natural causes. My appearance somewhat resembles the incomplete ultra instinct look when I am roaming the streets and out of combat; The Black with silverish tint along with my silver eyes. I also do not wear my traditional orange and blue gi that I have worn almost all my life. My gi now appears black with a white undershirt along with white wristbands, a white sash, and black boots. Coming together with a simplistic style to symbolize the new Goku. I still have the Turtle school of martial arts symbol on the front left side, but on the back I have my recent teacher's symbol, Whis. It has been two centuries since I have surpassed him, but he has urged me not to disturb the grand priest for further training, and out of respect I agreed to his request.

I do not train anymore, but I do practice to maintain my current skill and power because there is no need to get stronger. No god of destruction or angel can match me in power besides the grand priest himself. I also taught my grandchildren to fight and their children too, but now I have no family left since one generation didn't find a mate to carry on the bloodline.

I'm the only saiyan left in the universe.

If you can believe it or not, I went to school because Chi-Chi always pestered me to be a normal man and get a job, sometimes I wish I listened to her because at least i'd be in the afterlife with her, but I made my choice and I must live with it.

I went to the most prestigious college on the planet and I started studying from the old material that my son, Gohan, used when he was little. It took many decades, but I have four Phds in Politics, Mechanical Engineering, Business and Marketing, and Mathematics. I felt that I made my family proud other than being the Earth's guardian.

After I got my education, I got a job at Capsule Corp and climbed the job ladder, and eventually becoming the president (knowing bulma and her family also had extra sway in the new position).

I made everyone proud, but nothing changed the fact that after 100 years, I'm still alone.

I walk to a nearby park bench and take in the astounding scenery that I gaze upon every night. There's nothing left for me here.

I have an idea, but it's forbidden and I can never return.

It beats being alone, so I get up and start walking towards the main Capsule Corp building.

Searching for Bulma's old time machine.


A/N: This is just the start of a long journey for Goku, but will he really commit this forbidden act of time travel just to see his family again, or will he stay alone.

This is the beginning for Goku's new adventure.

Chapter 2 will be coming within the week.
