My name is Cherik, I am 16 years old and live on my own. I still go to school though and I have my own part time job, being a defender of the city. You see, i'm not like other humans, i'm stronger, faster and more durable than any human alive; oh yeah, i also have a tail. Actually, i don't think i'm a human at all. You see, i have a very good memory, i can remember faint things from when i was a baby; i remember being put into a pod, i remember space and landing here; i remember that an old hermit raised me until i was a toddler, but then died one night after an earthquake caved in the house; I've lived on my own ever since. One day i managed to find an odd craft, it looked like a space pod and then i realized that it was the pod i arrived on earth with. I took a look at it and saw that it actually had a few things inside of it, one was something that looked like blue spandex with armor, the other thing was an odd device that had a piece of blue glass in front of it with a metal and mechanical body that it was connected to. For some reason i knew how to put it on; i attached it to my left ear and the glass went over my right eye, i pushed a button on the side and it came to life, it began to beep and display flashing symbols on it, i decided to push a few buttons and saw that there was a setting for English, so i put it at that. It showed an arrow that pointed to my right, i turned and saw that it indicated a deer, the thing began beeping and the display said. Power level 6. It was then that i realized that this thing could calculate the strength of anyone and anything living; i got the idea to check my own power level, so i placed the reader on a rock, hit the button and stood in front of it; it read my power level and i went to see it. Power level 15. I was impressed at how strong i was, so i took it with me as well as the armor from my pod and took them to my own house in the woods.
Now, back to the present. I go to school just like anyone else, i'm the top of my class as well as the most athletic kid in school, but that's natural since I've used my level reader to scan a few people without them knowing, and the biggest, toughest guy in school only had a power level of 7.5. So, i'm naturally popular and respected at school, but still, people want to pick fights with me; now i don't go around asking everyone to fight, but whenever someone challenges me, i just can't refuse, something in my blood just makes me naturally want to fight and accept any challenge. But anyway, let's also talk about me outside of school; whenever i go back home and do what i need to, i don my armor, a full body, blue spandex suit with a white armor chest plate that feels like plastic, but it stretches and is entirely bulletproof, not even a .50 cal bullet can pierce it. It used to have three flaps that covered my lower body, but i modified them to be complete leg armor which are the same strength as the chest plate. Finally, to complete the look, i put on the white gloves and boots as well as my level reader. Over the years, i've learned to utilize my power, i trained and realized that i had access to an inner power, an energy if you will, i could project this out of me in the form of projectiles or use it as kind of a pulse to let me fly. Well, i fly around the city, making sure that there's no danger going on, but if there is, i go in to stop it, but i act fast and don't linger, i don't like my identity to be revealed, and even if someone sees me, my suit acts as a disguise, i just hope nobody sees my face though, that would be a dead giveaway.
Today was just like any other, i got up, got dressed for school, packed my stuff, grabbed my bike and flew off. I landed about a mile away from the city and went on my bike the rest of the way, on the way there though, i saw a flyer that advertised a tournament happening in a month, the prize was $3,000,000 for first place and $1,000,000 for the runner up. My eyes lit up at that, i realized that with my strength i could win this thing easily, but i realized that the tournament allowed anyone and anyTHING, that means that other sentient creatures that hear about this tournament can enter and some might be even stronger than me, so i'm gonna do the only logical thing and train my ass off for this. I stuck the flyer in my backpack, looked at my watch and saw that there were only 15 minutes left until class started and the school was on the other side of town. Now i know it's risky, but i kicked it into high gear, i was blazing along the sidewalk faster than the cars next to me; i got to the school with 5 minutes left, i locked up my bike and dashed to my locker to get my stuff, after about 3 minutes of struggling i got my stuff and had to go to the other side of the school. The bell rang the very second i crossed the threshold into the classroom, so i was safe. I sat down in my seat and made it look like i was concentrating, but in reality i was thinking all day about the tournament and what i need to do to get ready.
The final bell of the day rang and i ran out of there as fast as i could, i got on my bike and said goodbye to that place forever, because once i win that tournament, i'm never coming back. When i got home, i got to work on what i was going to do to train; if i wanted to guarantee my win, i would need a power level of at least 25, so i got to work. For the next week i trained with what i could, i began punching trees, running 30 miles daily and increasing my reaction time, but after a bit, i realized that i needed an actual master to teach me; then i recalled stories that i was taught, about the tower of Korin, a mythical structure that is said to have the greatest martial arts master to exist at the top and that once you climb it and receive training, you will be nearly unstoppable. So, i packed a bag with spare clothes and three others that were filled with food and set off on my journey to find the tower.
Author's note: I LIVE! Yes folks, after such a long wait, i am finally back and ready to deliver this story to all of you. Now i know the intro isn't my strongest piece of work, but trust me, it'll get much better later on in the story. Just so you know, this story does not take place at all in the main dragon ball universe, i'm talking about universe 7 of course, but for the hell of it, i'm saying this takes place in universe 9. Now it may be a different universe, but 2 people are the exact same as in universe 7, one is Korin and you'll see the other one soon enough. For now, let's just sit back, grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the adventures of Cherik. See you guys next chapter, peace.
