Acceptance is a cruel demon that only comes when every attempt to escape is exhausted. As pain became my teacher acceptance became my lesson. I am the enemy of the kais and there could be no bargaining, denying, or escape. The second I arrived, I wanted to hide from what I was and how I arrived here. Despite my actions somewhere in my mind, I thought my path would lead to an average life. Somewhere in my head, I thought that was what I wanted. The Kais knew better and they couldn't help setting the record straight.
I bear the mark of a soul cast out from god's grace. This mark has been with me long before I reached the dragon universe. Perhaps once the mark had been simply faded white. Fighting my prison, the hell that god had placed me in originally had blackened that mark until it could make a devil blush. That mark was my soul a fragment of the strongest creation god's power.
Sitting in a cell naked and flayed alive, I laid staring at the hanging stalagmites. Time was slowed form me drops of moisture from the long stone spears fell at a slow pace. Eventually, one struck my forehead and slid down my mutilated nose. This was what they chose, and I must accept that there could be no peace between us. Despite everything, I was happy or going mad. Time slipped by at a tangible pace my cells duplicated as blood scabbed over under my oak flesh. This was freedom from gods and demons. I had escaped one hell by rejecting the god that created me. Why should this world be any different?
Though less they kais were just as prideful and foolish as my own creator. They cast me in a cage filled with everything I needed to escape. It was nostalgic this feeling of ultimate freedom. I had been willing to throw it away for a place in this world. I was willing to deny my nature, hate myself for what I was, bargain with the kais, and even fall into the sardonic. They had a chance to turn me into their greatest ally against those like myself. Freza, Cell, and even majin buu, I would have protected the universe and saved so many lives. Goku wouldn't have needed to die against Raditz. Nappa wouldn't have destroyed that city. My hand was out, and I offered them friendship. They slapped it away and tortured what good will I had out of me. That is ok, I forgive them for it. Because they have no idea what kind of shit storm, they have caused for themselves. For evil to grow all it needs is good to be incompetent.
Fire shot from my open palm alighting the stone and melting it away. I dug trenches out of the cave to give the melted stone a path to travel. Time moved at a crawl as it burned the rock at an accelerated pace. It heated far faster than what should be possible, and I was making progress. My new stone flesh spell allowed me to start shaping the metal that started to flow out into an anvil.
Destruction has risen to 65
With various molds, I made a piping system that flushed the smoke out of the cave. The gasses that popped out from melting stone had killed me four times. One my next respawn my face and body was back to normal. I still maintained stone flesh. I needed to increase my physical defenses. Even with a ki barrier defense was important. If my opponent can just barely get through my barrier some defense will keep me safe.

Ki control 20
That bitch accused me of rape, and I was tortured for it. She would pay for that Celleda was a dead woman but even the dead could feel pain. After all she was terrified of dying repeatedly crossing the desert to the new vegeta. Before I left hell, I would find a way to get back at her. A cruel grin split my face as thoughts of violence swept through me.
My fantasies were disturbed at the sounds of growling outside my cave. Stepping out, I saw a massive lizard mixed with tentacles feeding off the magma flow. Its tentacles dove into the flow and swelled. Dropping into stealth mode, I slowly climbed the cliff behind it. When it didn't notice me, I slowly climbed down as it fed on the stream of liquid rock. It was moving at incredible speeds faster even than I could react to. It must have made the sound a while ago for the sound waves to only reach me when it was right up on me.
When I was close enough to touch it, I decided to use calm touch on it after moving my respawn point further away. I placed a glowing green hand on the creature, and it froze. It slumped in on itself sluggishly sipping at the still flowing magma.
My face split into a savage grin as I placed a hand on the creature's ki barrier. It flailed as my lightning bolt seared through its body. The monster spasmed before collapsing dead. I let out a low whistle. "To think, I thought you would be a challenge." Raise Dead.
Conjuration has risen to 10
Zombie Heat Devourer PL 350
If I am to take responsibility for my own nature, then it was time to act on it. This tentacled monstrosity would be an excellent tool. I leapt on its back. "Find other's like you we are going to add them to our monster army. For now, your name is Squidward." The zombie monster gave a halfhearted ahh for my trouble.
I kept my power level low while I rode atop my monster. It crept around quietly on its tentacles going into a new cave system. Another tentacled monster just like it leapt out trying to pull his zombie in and devour it. While they were distracted, I snuck around and dealt with it like I had the first. With another monster dead I felt my body fill with precious xp.
Host lv 13
Special points 1
No perk point until the next level. That was fine it wouldn't be an experiment unless I was trying new things. I pulled the same mana together that brought my last zombie back. Ghostly blue light hovered in my hand before I released it into the monster. When the blue light struck, I felt a slight straining sensation like it was getting more difficult to hold so many zombies. One gave no strain two gave a slight strain. It was too little to matter for now, but it was there. If I pushed my luck some of my zombies would crumble. Not to mention, I didn't know how much of them were still in there. Could they eventually break free of my control? What would happen they broke free? Would they attack me or flee? There were too many questions about my power not to experiment and figure them out myself.
My ki sense flared as a massive locust like monster landed just outside the cave. I had my own ki out on full display over confident in my monsters' ability to protect me. I had two monsters in the 350s, my power level was in the 250s, and the locust was in the 800s. That didn't make it invincible.
Lightning Smith (5/20) +125% shock damage

When using lightning bolt
PL = 687.5
We were technically in the same weight class. I licked my lips at the thoughts of such a powerful zombie. Something that could fly and blend in with others of its kind would be awesome. There was a way to increase the damage of my attack even further. Using both hands, I created a lightning bolt with far more power.
PL 1031
The bolt of lightning between my hands radiated ki like nothing I've ever used before. My mana was just fine I barely used 40points with this spell. When I gained more skill, I gained perks naturally. It was a boon from being something like me.
My zombies struck wrapping their tentacles around the locust as it struggled and fought for its freedom. I was of course in sneak mode the whole time but the lightning bolt in my hand couldn't be hidden. The locust knew it was behind it, but it couldn't turn around to see me. This naturally doubled my damage thanks to my sneak remaining intact.
PL 2062
The lightning bolt doubled in power glowing purple and wrestling to get out. I proudly let it go and watched as a massive bolt of mana and ki flashed slicing through the locust and striking through the cave. Both of my zombies died along with the locust. All three disintegrated on contact. I stood there in my sneak mode for a while just staring at the destruction.

My perks were ki blade and Ritual Summoner
Ritual summoner – +25% more health and ki to those summoned using a proper ritual. Knowledge of demon rituals.
Ki Blade: Infuse ki into weapons to cut through barriers and damage enemies.
The rite to summon demons was a long and difficult process. It required a few choice ingredients like the spilling of innocent blood, a geometrically correct 3d summoning circle, and lots of ki and magic. That and conjuration of at least 50. It was something I couldn't do for a while. But I did know the ritually correct way to summon zombies. There were things I needed that could only be obtained in the saiyan town.
I suffered here for crimes I didn't commit. It was time, I made sure to deserve them. My sneak mode was paying for itself as I made my way back to the clothing store. This was where one of the few saiyans that were nice to me did business.
Pick pocket has risen to 40
Perk: Quiet Hands: 40% quieter pick pocketing
I stood up just in front of the counter. My hand channeled the mana needed to perform calm touch if needed. The guy across from me held a power level in the 500 more than capable to beating me in close combat. I grinned when I saw the man. "Hello, long time no see." I said.
"Ah it's you kid, I heard you tried to rape a girl whose power level was 50 above you. Not something smart people do. You don't look like a dumb kid to me. Did you do it?" The clerk asked with narrowed eyes.
"Nope but I should have. Anyone who would accuse someone of rape for not becoming their meat shield deserves it. I was tortured for hours before they threw me to the desert to die and respawn. It gave me plenty of time to think about my priorities." I said finishing with a giggling laugh. The man just shook his head.
"You've become unstable in the process. Not that I'm surprised. Do you have the money to pay? I'm not your shoulder to cry on." I poured a few bags of coins from my inventory on the desk.
"I need rolls of linen lots of them as many as you can get me." I said between laughing. My body shook at the thoughts that wrestled to escape. When I was alone, I could think clearly calculating even. But here so close to where they ripped the skin from my muscles and tossed me in the desert. I felt like something was cracking.
He laid twenty rolls of fabric on the counter all varying colors. "This is all the linen I have in stock right now. Take it and leave. Do yourself a favor and don't come back." The saiyan said and I nodded. Then I went into stealth mode and crept out of the shop. My next stop was a blacksmith shop. The man never saw me enter and even my giggling was muffled.
I was going to destroy them all and they didn't even know it. I prowled around taking tools and inventorying them. The clerk was out to lunch. Weight wasn't an issue thanks to my ki. I took everything including the bellows, molds, and fire wood. Only the forge itself remained and only because it was attached to the wall. With that I left the shop empty. I wonder who would be blamed for my crimes who knows. Maybe they will outcast the apprentice next. My next stop was the butcher shop. This is where all their captured monsters were processed and there were so many ingredients to choose from. I took all of them.
With my inventory full, I snuck out just in time to see the black smith run out of his shop and start yelling. "This has to be a prank all right guys joke's over return old Kalofs tools and ores. I know one of you took them. Its ok I'm not mad good prank. So, give them back." As more saiyans filled the streets, I made my way to the gym. The weights were too heavy to take with me. But there were a few basic ki control, technique, and flight manuals. After snagging them there was an apartment to see to next.
Most people were outside but there was a ki signature that belonged to someone I hated. Her door opened after a few fails with my lock picks. She snored lightly in her bed, it was a new room but the same bitch. A smile lit my face at seeing my enemy here defenseless. What would be the perfect revenge? Then I looked over at her lover. A saiyan with a power level of 300. That was perfect. I wanted to laugh and rub my hands together like some cartoon villain.
Instead, I activated frenzy and placed my head on the man's head before dashing away in sneak mode. A ki blast later and Celena's body was destroyed and her ki signature vanished. She might return to life in a week but for now she was dead. The saiyan unleashed a powerful blast destroying the building and sending debris crashing down. He yelled out and flew after the nearest saiyan starting a brawl.
I moved about slowly keeping out of sight and touching a saiyan every now and then to increase the fighting. This was right, this was my justice. It felt too easy, I was enjoying the show sure. It was like watching a beetles fight, entertaining for a moment then dull. Blasts rained down everywhere stores of food were blown apart and the small city shook as explosions went off. It was chaos but temporary.
My meeting with the store clerk would make me the prime suspect. So, I did what any good villain does, I ran away. I had everything I needed for now. The ground continued to shake as saiyans powered up and continued the brawl. When I was far enough away to be out of sight I stood and sprinted as fast as I could go.
It was a total victory and I didn't have to throw a single punch. Killing by proxy didn't give me any xp but illusions leveled like crazy. It was quickly becoming my new favorite skill.
Illusions 35
I was lucky my illusions were more effective under sneak mode. If I had tried to use them on wary targets, they would have fought it off. Majin Vegeta being the prime example. It most likely wouldn't work on Bardock. Then again, I should try to get ahold of Bobodi's spell book. The Majin spell had a lot of promise. Now that I accepted my evil, I was susceptible to the spell. That or the spell may be greed based. Could it even give me enough power to be worth it?
What if I used the spell on myself? Would a stronger practitioner of illusions be able to make the spell more effective? Would my illusion skill protect me from the spell? There were more questions than answers and I felt a powerful dark ki coming my way. Seconds later a blast seared through my ki barrier and sliced through my left shoulder. Pain blossomed like an old friend unwelcome, embarrassing, and probably boring.
Yellow light covered the wound as it slowly knit back together. It took a few seconds, but the wound fully healed.
Restoration has risen to 25
Perk: Apprentice Restoration 1/2MP cost to apprentice level restoration spells.
Two more shots and I activated fast healing closing my wounds more quickly and recovering my stamina.
"Hey Bardock, nice to see you again. Have a seat stay a while raid my fridge." I mutter seeing the Goku look alike floating there. The fact he didn't have his friends with him was a good sign. Not that I had a shot against Bardock alone anyway. This was just another setback. I had my respawn point at my base. When I arrived, I could just make a new base preferably underground. With my new supplies, I could raise a few zombies and have them work on mining out a mountain. Set them put any ores aside for smelting later.
My eyes flashed to Bardock and I smile politely they say a smile can set the tone of a conversation. It's a theme to set a standard. Bardock frowned in a very super saiyan Goku sort of way. The scar on his cheek made him look edgy as fuck. He floated there looking angry like someone shit in his cornflakes. His hands shook and he glared at me like I had betrayed him or something.
"You were last seen in the settlement to the south before a riot broke out and destroyed it. Eye witnesses spotted you fleeing the scene. Do you have anything to say for yourself before I bring you to king Vegeta?" A smile broke over my face before I laughed.
"Go ahead it doesn't matter. Do whatever you want to me? I will keep coming back. Time will only make me stronger until none of you can hold me again. Then I will break out of this prison just like the one before it. Nothing you do or say matters. Take me to your King, I will be free in a few hours regardless." I said and started laughing in Bardock's face.
A blow like a never felt before smashed me and my host's lights went out. When next I woke it was under the light of a hospital room. A needle was in my arm pumping some sort of sedative in my veins. "Are you sure we can't just torture him to death? Bardock this boy destroyed one of our settlements. He must pay for it." A man that could only be King Vegeta said.
My vision filled with Bardock suddenly being on me and punching my lights out. I didn't have a chance. Interesting, they must have a plan to keep me here. "My king this guy is insane. I noticed it when I met the kid before. He had been eaten by sharks. His discarded bodies littered the ocean floor. I searched it myself his face covered most of the bodies on the sea floor. He died 10s of thousands of times. Even in hell that is rough. Then when he gained a semblance of normalcy, that bitch Celena accused him of rape." Bardock said. Oh, cute he wants to be on my side. Its too late for that Bardock I'm set I will seat my throne on the skeletons of the kais.
I couldn't twitch a finger now the sedative put me in a coma.
"Celena, he wasn't the first she accused of rape. Even when she was alive that girl had a track record." Its bad luck that he ran into her. But his crimes can't be forgiven. A hundred years stuck in that bed should do him some good. Afterwards execute him wherever he ends up he won't be our problem." I raised up out of the hospital bed my body should have been under the sedative, but it didn't affect my true body.
Time had passed while I figured out how to move my body. Once I was up it wasn't a problem. I just removed the sedative and went into sneak mode. Out the widow, I saw a massive metropolis filled with massive towers and saiyans flying between them.
It was interesting but not why I was here. There was only one thing keeping me in hell and that was my inability to fly. Living bodies could pass through the clouds separating hell from the realms above. No one expected there to be a living body here in hell. I pulled the book on flight out of my inventory. I studied the book for a long time. It was more like a pamphlet filled with pointers. The first few pages taught how to fly it was a rhyming sort of book made for children. Then the book went into ki control and how best to shield the eyes while in flight. When I felt I was ready I used my ki to levitate and then I ascended a little.
Ki control has risen to 30
The answer to my predicament was simple. My respawn point was still here in hell in my little safe space cave. That was fine. I could leave that there and return to hell for its precious resources. There was a way to get what I wanted easily enough. King Kai was just on the other side of those clouds.
I had wanted to wait and raise my power level to at least 10,000 before leaving hell. Goku was most likely still a kid and grandpa Gohan was still alive. The Kais would probably go crazy if I appeared in the world of the living again. Kami wouldn't like having to deal with an enemy stronger than him. I didn't plan to kill Kami yet. No for now, I needed time to grow stronger and prepare for the fights ahead. Hell was great but it's too problematic with all the saiyans around.
I opened a window and started flying towards the clouds. It didn't take long before the saiyans started to notice. Bardock flew fast as a blink, I had no way to block or defend and a I knew Bardock would hold back in order to put me in a coma again.
My face devolved from its smiling appearance to an emotionless expression. As Bardock goes in I cover my body with the red glow of frenzy. Instead of hitting me, he held off and I knew he was still psychic. A smile spread across my face. "Yes, you got it Bardock, if you touch me it will drive you mad. You'll destroy this city yourself. You have no choice other than to let me go." A blast later my vision goes white and I'm vaporized.
I step from my cave feeling like the victor. He had to kill me instead of letting me go. Once again, I flew upward letting my body ascend through the golden clouds. Once up top, I followed snake way using my stealth and running instead of flying. If everything goes well, I could catch king kai while he's taking a nap.
Days later the green planet was in view. Behind me was all my trouble and in front was promise. I leap into the planet's orbit and let it drag me down. My barrier lasted all the way down. Once on the plush green surface, I turned my head to see king kai watering his grass. It was hard to move under 10x earth's gravity. He turned his head only just now noticing me. How dense could a god be.
"Oh, hello I didn't see you there. Not many people visit me even less with dark ki. What was your plan to fight me when you can barely stand, or did you think you would get this far? Ha ha well come on though you don't have to stand on my account." Slowly, I flexed my ki bringing my heavy body back up into a sitting position. My heart struggled to push my blood through my veins. Everything was harder it forced me to go into damage control and reinforce my whole body with ki. This was what made those who trained in gravity so strong. It forced them to work on their ki control and grow beyond their weaknesses.
"Huh you could put weights on someone here and they couldn't do a thing against you. As for taking on the Kais nope not interested. Yea I don't like you guys but I'm not going to just up and kill you all." The hot female kais would become part of my harem. I can't kill them all if I'm going to keep the hot ladies.
Speech has risen to 20
Shops sell you goods for less
"Oh, then what are you here for if not to challenge me?" The blue alien god asked.
"Well Kami killed me unjustly. I wasn't terrorizing anyone or really doing much wrong. All I did was steal a room, some money, and a single innocent life. Terrible I know but hardly something of note for earth. I'm evil but I'm not evil enough for that. Besides I'm still alive, so yea." I said.
"That can be arranged but I see your point. What do you want me to do about it? Kami is the only one who can send you back to earth." I bounced my shoulders thinking carefully. King Kai wasn't hostile towards me yet. That could change quickly and if he summons Olibu it will be back to hell for me. They may put me in one of the cells reserved for the worst guys. The fact that the saiyans weren't in those was a crime. Mass murdering hypocrites that they are.
"I want to get back to earth could you teach me Instant Transmission?" I asked. Option 2 was to use calm on the god repeatedly until he gave me what I wanted. Right now, I was willing to be nice if he was.
"What do you plan to do to your guardian when you get back to earth?" The kai asked. I wanted to roll my eyes but that wasn't a no. If this worked out, then North kai would be one of the kais I spared. Then again, he could be stalling but why? Surely North Kai could handle me easily enough. He was a stronger Kai. Was I that dangerous? Sure, I could mess with emotions through illusions but Bardock was already mad. Sending him into a further rage was easy.
"I plan to leave him be so long as he gives me the same regard. As fun as it would be to rip the antennae off that old green bastard, I can call a truce if you allow me back on earth. You know there is a saiyan on earth that could very well destroy it. Kami lets the boy wonder freely to turn into an Ozaru and kill to his heart's content." I said. King Kai's eyes went wide.
Speech has risen to 35
"Let me go and I'll protect the planet from his rampage. I understand how my ki feels but it's just that a feeling. I haven't done anything compared the crimes of the saiyans. Let me go and I can protect the earth." I said.
"Ok if its to protect the earth then I will teach it to you. But you forced me to do it. Its your responsibility to use this technique wisely." The kai said in a cranky voice. "First focus on my ki then put yourself there. No movement remain perfectly still just put yourself there. Exit this universe by linking your spot with the spot you wish to go to." I quickly realized why this was such a coveted technique. It created a worm hole with ki between two points.
Ki control has risen to 35
There was a sensation of weightlessness and I was gone, and the weight reapplied itself. Still cross legged, I was right beside King Kai. My stamina took a heavy hit, but I was fine. Breathing heavy, I slowly stood up.
Ki technique: Instant Transmission learned.
Slowly, I stood up beside the kai. He nodded as if impressed by my performance. "Thank you for teaching me when you didn't have to King Kai. I won't forget this." I said and focused outward for kami.
I vanished and appeared next to the old man while he was sleeping. The second I appeared, I dropped my ki and entered sneak mode. Slowly, I made my way outside the look out dodging Mr. Popo and then I leapt off the lookout free from hell. Everything was looking up I was out of hell, I had ki, and it was time to find a place to relax while I figure out my next move for the downfall of the kais.
When I told King Kai, I was thankful that wasn't a lie. I was sincere, he was the first god to show me such kindness. The rest were game.
