(First Episode of Dragon Ball Canon)

You would think that death would be the end for everyone and everything. That once your time on the world was up and you closed your eyes that would be it. Of course there are many religions that believe that death is not the end and that there is an afterlife to look forwards to.

I had a complicated relationship with religion. I believe in my God and I believe that there is a place where the dead go once they die, but that does not stop my fear of the unknown to make me doubt my religion sometimes. I mean when the book that is supposed to be 100% correct to your religion has inconsistencies and that science has come such a long way that it actively disproves most things the religious book says then you can't help but wonder if it is wrong.

I wanted to believe. To have faith that all my good deeds were not for nothing and that when i died that i would not cease to exist as the Atheists say or wind up in an endless black void where you are consciously aware that you have died and that no matter what you do you can't feel anything besides the weightless and cold space around you. No longer would you have a body to touch or see...just the void and you for all of eternity.

Once my time came it was peaceful. I had lived a long and happy life for myself. I started a family, lived in a place i could call home, and i had a decent job. The years passed by like a blur and soon enough i was retired and stayed home with my wife where we spent quality time together for the rest of my days.

Then one night i closed my eyes for the last time and took my final breath.

I remember something interesting in that moment. Apparently it takes seven minutes for the brain to realize that it has died if you are lucky like me and die peacefully. I would imagine that time being much shorter if a bullet was traveling through it. Anyways in those seven minutes i had watched my life from beginning to end. I reliving all of the most important, embarrassing, character defining, and happy moments all over again.

Once my brain caught up to reality all was black for a brief moment like i had blinked and suddenly i was not where i had decided to retire with my wife. Instead i was in the void for a brief moment.

While i was there something spoke to me and said "You were not supposed to be here. Hmm. I know. Let me send you somewhere else. Unfortunately for you it seems that in order to get there you will need to live once more, but since you have already died how about I allow you to reincarnate as someone else. Someone you know quite well."

Then i was gone. I had blinked. Seeing one thing as my eyes closed, total darkness for a moment with whatever just talked to me apparently giving me a second chance, and now my eyes opened once more.

Instead of being in the same room as my wife in our retirement home i was now inside a small pod by the looks of the thing. There were white interior walls, a red tinted window, multiple panels with screens and buttons on the side, and I had a very nice view of a planet that looked like Earth except it had one giant continent that had a smaller landmass connected to the left how ever they were separated from completely connecting by the ocean. Both seemed to have a lot of green, a sand tan color was also highly prominent but there was more green, there were mountains around the middle larger part of the continent, a white color covering a small part of the top right part in the large continent that went to the left of the landmass and covered a small piece of the land as well as the largest Island to the left of the continent, and multiple islands of different shape ranging from huge to small all around the giant land mass.

{AN: Please just google Dragon Ball World map. It looks like if Asia was connected to Africa and had a smaller Australia towards the south along with multiple islands of different sizes and shapes.}

While the landmass was not something i recognized the thing that i was currently in was very recognizable to me. What i was currently in was a Sayan Pod and if i had to make a guess i was currently in baby Goku's body judging by the size of the pod and my body.

In my old life i was a huge Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super fan. The last thing i watched of the show before my life went busy was Universe 7 winning the Tournament of Power and Android 17 being the last man standing as well as he getting the wish from the Super Dragon Balls. Thankfully i still remembered everything leading up to that moment do to myself being a big fan of the characters and show.

Not just the show either. I was also a huge fan of Team Four Star's work on Dragon Ball Abridged and i would be sure to make a few references here and there just for the shits and giggles.

However i will still take this all seriously since i was reincarnated into Goku aka the Main Protagonist and a bunch of shit will be coming my way. The Universe's better prepare. A smarter and more serious Goku was going to enter the stage instead of the dumb, naive, and neglectful man child that he had been in the show. I will make sure to train until I can't train anymore and that i can protect everyone without even having to try. I will make sure to master and learn all of the attacks, techniques, and transformations i can so that I always have a powerful counter to whatever my enemies throw at me.

I will change everything.

{AN: And that is all for this time. I hoped you all enjoyed. I have been thinking about doing this type of story for a long time now and im happy that i will be able to use my ideas for cool new techniques as well as new ideas on how to use certain attacks.

Anyways this is all for now.

I will see you all next time.
