Summary:
Being a Time Patroller had always been my dream. But once that dream had reached, the delusion I once had in being one is shattered by the shallow people I've worked with and how I saw Time Patroller one-sidedly without considering the bad side of it. For more than 20 years I've worked, I was given the chance to retire and live a peaceful life. I retired and I had used an Interdimensional Pod to go to a different reality which resides within Universe 7 to live a new life. But old habits die hard and I find myself working as an Adventurer in a world where magic exists.

OC-centered fanfic revolving around a new world in your typical JRPG fantasy setting, don't like the premise then don't read.
Everybody has preferences and I shouldn't be criticized for not making something that fits your tastes like watching My Little Pony porn clips. The only reviews or criticisms I take are the ones that points out the flaws of my storytelling and writing skills, anything else beside that is a no-go. I'm a terrible author with subpar-writing skills (or perhaps worse than that) so you can either be a reasonable and kind person to point out what I do wrong or be a total dick and tell me how much of a horrible job I'm doing.
Thanks and enjoy.
Prelude:
"The Retired Time Patroller"
It was a pretty normal evening for the people working at the Ebon Purge Guild. The beginners were enjoying themselves at their tables, the high-ranked Adventurers merely occupied private spots provided for those who has money, some just came in and registered their done quests while getting their rewards in return and the lively atmosphere was shared with everyone even the receptionists whom are working on their paperwork as they oversee their (somewhat) customers-workers enjoy their relax/celebration to the fullest.
But their joy was not shared with the person who just entered the guild.
As he steps inside the guild, silence quickly ensues what was once a lively and joyful atmosphere. The one who entered is someone quite infamous despite being anonymous–even to the knowledgeable receptionists that specialized in getting information for themselves. The infamous mysterious Adventurer Zero, a warrior-class young man that never once teamed up with anyone or made a party when he took quests. Yet, despite taking trivial quests like gathering herbs, slaying slimes and destroying goblin nests, he had reached the rank of C-Iron. He had been in this guild for years and it is kind of natural he would reach that rank by time alone.
He had spiky hair that defy gravity with two streaks of bang protruding over his hairline down in the middle. His face seemingly always has a serious expression or a scowl worn and despite having a calm, relaxed aura, people would found him intimidating thanks to the mean look of his face. He wore a strange attire consist of black tights around his body from his neck to his legs, an upper armor in the color of white and yellow, combat white gloves that looked as though it were bandages tightening his palms and wrists in a style of fingerless gloves, white-yellow themed combat boots much like the upper armor and finally, to top it all off, a weird green object on his left eye that seemingly acts like a single monocle.
His real name is Exper and he never ever joined any parties before as previously stated. One of the rumors circulating around him is that he's confident enough to face any kind of quests alone or that the quests he's done are quests only for E-Stone Adventurers, a cowardly move if prideful high-ranked Adventurers were to call.
He is a very strange Adventurer that people can't seemed to pretend to not notice.
He went to the counter and submitted the quests he had done; gathering specific herbs from specific regions and biomes as well as clearing monsters inside a mine. The receptionist who always attended him, a young woman who looked the same age as he is, didn't seemed to be surprised and instead does her job perfectly well and gave him his rewards. He took it with silence, gave her a nod of acknowledgement as she responded the same before walking away from the guild, making no attempt at conversing or even glancing around the guild.
As he was gone from their sights, the Adventurers around the guild talked about him while the higher-ranked Adventurers mostly scoffed at his unchanging behavior, finding it to be arrogance or something along the lines while some merely find his usual schedule to be amusing. Not before long, the once silent and quiet atmosphere returned back to the lively and cheerful it once was as the Adventurers continued to enjoy their evening feasts.
In an inn, Zero or preferably his real name Exper, was eating his food rather normally while taking a few sips from the foaming beer served to him despite belonging to a species known for their monstrous strength and their lack of table manners. The once Saiyan Time Patroller was enjoying his meal with a blank look on his face, taking bites on the large chicken thighs and small sips to get his appetite working. That blank look on his face shows how too caught up he is in his thoughts.
"You'll get older quickly if you're pondering too much, Zero." A bearded man pointed out at the bar since Exper ate on it, "I thought Adventurers are supposed to be energetic and enthusiastic?"
"Not me, Simon." Exper gave a quick and simple reply, bringing the mug of beer close to his face. "And it's sighing too much that'll get people older, not spacing out. Not that I will." He corrected before taking the mug to his face and chug it all down, "Give me another." He places down the mug once he finishes it with a sigh of pleasure.
The man merely chuckled and took the mug, "So what's bugging you? The other Adventurers?" The bartender, Simon, asked as he filled up the mug Exper gave earlier with a fresh brewed beer and handed it to him.
"Like I give a damn about other Adventurers." Exper took an excessive bite on the chicken thigh, ripping a huge chunk of meat and skin as he slurps it. "I'm just wondering what I should do next now that I've retired from a certain job."
Simon raises his eyebrows, "It's been years since you've quit that "job" you can't seem to tell people about and you're still pondering what to do next? Do you even thought of your future?"
"I did, a long time ago." Exper said, halting his feasting as Simon could see the long look in his eyes. He was reliving some old memories. "But I never thought what comes next."
"How about getting laid first, virgin?" Exper didn't react, he never really minded about things like that since that culture was a Human's. "Or better yet, get married and lay low. Judging by how you act and your choice of words, you must be older than you look. Perhaps even older than me."
Being an Evolved Saiyan, Exper has a far longer lifespan than the normal one as even now, he was actually in his 40s which would be qualified to be called as an old man. But with how youthful he looks, one cannot even assume him as an old man as he merely seemed like a young man just entering his 20s.
Exper gulped down the last remains of the chicken thigh and closed his eyes, grabbing the handle of the mug with a wise look. "Yeah, you got that right."
"Has marriage ever occurred to you though, Zero?" Simon asked while wiping a glass with a towel, the lack of customers around this time may have helped Simon to accompany Zero. "I'm already married six years ago and even at that time, I already thought of a lot of things regarding marriage and kids."
"I don't think I once did." Exper replied, sipping on his beer before he opens his eyes. "The lack of any good available female may have affected it a little bit but most of it is because I don't really think a married life suit me." Exper shrugged and chug down the beer once more, slamming it down once he finishes. "I'm born to fight, a war machine whose purpose to battle and get stronger. Perhaps my habits of doing missions or quests had kept me from doing anything else but fighting mostly affected it." He said and pushed the mug, "Give me another."
"Right." Simon took the mug and refilled it, "Any Adventurer would want to marry a noble lady from any households like that Ridgeworth Viscount or even a royal like Princess Marille. Young Adventurers are crazy for girls like that." He finishes as he handed the mug of beer to Exper.
"Like I said, I'm not just any Adventurer and I'm certainly not young so you've got those two things to consider before you pose me an idea like that." Exper said as he took the mug, sipping it and placed it down. "And I don't like to stand out. Marrying someone of high status and recognizable reputation is an out for me. Only fools would do that and not forget to mention, most noble households are corrupted and I would likely be targets for assassins aiming for my head as a job from any envious households or royal families if I do in fact marry a noble lady or a princess."
"Heh, you sure know how to respond." Simon chuckled while shaking his head. "You really are the strangest and unusual Adventurer I had ever met in my whole life."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Exper scoffed.
"You should." Simon smiled before his eyes trailed behind Exper, "Oh, speaking of young woman, here comes one. Good luck." He said before he left to tend other customers who might need his service even though there isn't any.
A young woman as Simon stated sat beside Exper while he sips his beer, he could already tell who it was. "You again." Exper sighed, facing the person in question as she gave a cat grin in return. "What do you want again, Sonya?"
The young woman happens to be a Beastman, specifically the Caith species which is a humanoid cat evident with her cat ears and cat tails in the color of silver-grey. "You know what I want, Zero." She said, smiling rather seductively towards the unwavering Saiyan. "I would like to once again state that the offer still stands."
"And once again, I reject of joining you in your party." Exper chugged down the beer, finally finishing his feast as he stared at the Caith Woman who looks completely mesmerized by the hardened eyes of the Saiyan. "I don't do teamwork, Sonya. It's in my blood."
"It is also in my blood to find such strong and reliable man like you, Zero." The Caith Woman, Sonya, said as she trails her finger on his biceps covered by the thin layer of the Saiyan tights. "Just remembering how easily you took that dragon give me chills...and a certain desire."
It was undeniably true that Sonya is a very attractive woman, any men would fantasize to have a woman like her. She has a beautiful face, she has long wonderful hair, she has well-endowed body and she isn't bad in both fighting and housework. She's a perfect woman to have as a wife and Exper did notice all the hints she threw at him, she liked him and even possibly wanted to marry him. But to someone like Exper, a person is more than just looks and qualities. And he's also an Evolved Saiyan, his taste in woman is very different than even half-breed Saiyans.
But thinking about the brief discussion he had with Simon, he may reconsider her.
"I'll think about it," Exper said as he stood up, "Sonya."
Sonya's eyes widen a bit in surprise at the different respond he gave but nonetheless, she was quite satisfied about it. "Very well. Have a nice evening, Zero."
"Have a nice evening as well." Exper nodded back and walked away.
Sonya's instinct in her choosing a man had never been wrong, it will never be. In fact, her interest in man had never aroused until Exper came into her life. Even though the rumors circulating around him were bad somewhat like how he took trivial quests every day despite being a C-Iron ranked Adventurer, if him defeating a dragon that would've took hours for her and her party to kill rather casually and his choice of quest was anything to go by, then the Mysterious Adventurer Zero is the man she had always wanted.
It had been six years ever since I retired from being a Time Patroller.
I've spent my time living in a new environment as a fresh new start to finally feel what it's like to be actually alive.
Being a Time Patroller is certainly an honor, it is a very prestigious job because it concerns in fixing timelines and save the universe from psychopaths–old and new. When Demigra, the red-headed bastard, Towa, the blue-skinned bitch and Mira, the power-obsessed retard invaded the timelines and making the mess of things, the job became popular. Soon enough, Time Patroller members exceeded the amount of hundreds of thousands, it was insane. Some admired the Time Patroller and made it their choice of dream job.
I'm one of them.
When I was a kid raised in Human schools, I was disliked by my peers merely because of how intimidating I look. No one dared to approach me aside from delinquents and punks who think they're tough shit. Ever since that fateful day in my elementary, I had given up any hopes of making real connections with people. When one child has his eyes exposed to the blighted world for too long, it would only be natural for him to be blighted as well, to be cynical. It didn't even help when I'm an Evolved Saiyan, a subspecies more intellectual than the original Saiyan race and even on par with Human race in terms of intelligence.
As I grew older, I aimed to be a Time Patroller. I worked my ass off training for years, mastering the three transformations I have. Even without a tail, an Evolved Saiyan can master Super Saiyan 3 and it is actually named as Advanced Super Saiyan 3. These subspecies are born from combining great warriors' genetics as it passed down to the descendants and at some point, Evolved Saiyans came to life. These Saiyans have different personality and they are very much like Humans with the exception of absurd physical capabilities, insane metabolism and longer lifespans.
When I became a Time Patroller, I had found out that the world of this job in nature was nearly the same as the ones back when I go to schools. Everything works on this large structure that is society, an ultimate and undeniable hierarchy which could be both bad and good. In Time Patroller ranks, there is a hierarchy and this hierarchy is something I don't like. It depends on ranks and people were very greedy to become the number one or someone famous like the Toki-Toki City Hero and the Conton City Hero. People left and right from other races were acting blatantly racist with me just because I'm a Saiyan. It's very subtle but it is still there like how they're expecting me to stuff my face with food like a pig.
The social interaction was also very detestable as well, I could always see people who are trying to befriend me having an ulterior motive. Perhaps as a stepping stone towards greater heights, maybe using me for something that may benefit him/her alone and not me and various other incredulous selfish reasons which I cannot comprehend.
I thought the Time Patroller Corps is this place where great fighters joined together and save the universe from various disasters and while it might be true at some point in time, now it has become a plague for greedy and selfish people who only concerns in benefit and greatness. After all, an ideal will always stays as an ideal and there are no other shallow ideal than to actually think something as perfect as what I thought of Time Patroller Corps to be real and permanent.
It's pretty laughable how I once thought of it.
More than 20 years later, I was given an opportunity to retire and I made no hesitation in my decision of actually retiring from this job. 20 years' worth of service would be granted an option to retire as well as a huge sum of money. In the end, Time Patroller is just another occupation to take.
I used an Interdimensional Pod created and perfected by an old acquaintance that has a knack for tricking people to try out her incomplete inventions and travelled to this world, where I can experience new things and finally feel what it's like to live after being literal slave corporate. But my habits of taking missions didn't die along with my job as a Time Patroller and I ended up becoming an Adventurer, having that occupation as my financial income. It is strange but it didn't feel the same like being a Time Patroller. Sure, there's hierarchy here and some dicks messing around about but it wasn't as bad as Time Patroller Corps. Most of the people here really wanted to become an Adventurer because they seek excitement, not just greatness and riches.
I find this to be very refreshing and I continuously worked as an Adventurer. I even met certain people like Simon the bartender, Erica the receptionist and even Sonya the S-Platinum ranked Caith Adventurer despite not really finding any pleasant in our first time meeting. However, deep down though, I'm in search for something. Something that would make me feel things any person should, something that would make me attach, something that give me the reason to live for...
I don't know what it is but if it was one thing I could describe it as, it would be something real.
Yes, that's right.
I want something genuine.
Exper was walking through the dense forest deep within the mountains. As someone who admired the great Hero Son Goku, he likes to visit mountains and even lived somewhere near there. However, in this world, Exper actually lived within the mountains away from civilization. These mountains were once a home to a great beast that strike fear deep into people's heart which is why there were no civilization nearby. However, being someone like Exper whom reached levels of power at astronomical heights, defeating a great beast like that couldn't be considered as a warm up or even playing around.
As Exper walks, nearing the house he had with the help of Hoi-Poi Capsule that contained various things as a present from being a Time Patroller, his ears perked up once he heard something. Exper halted his tracks and focused on his surroundings, feeling Ki as well as a foreign energy that is Mana surging through the trees and the grounds.
Then, he felt a Ki Signature just nearby.
In the dead of the night, someone was deep in these mountains.
Immediately, his senses greatly heightens as his awareness shot through the roof. He went towards the Ki Signature only to hear cries, cries of a baby that became louder the more he was getting closer his destination. Once Exper came to a clearing, he witness a baby crying on the ground with white cloth wrapped around keeping it from being either cold or hot in a field of colorful flowers as wind softly brushes by under a beautiful starry night. It couldn't even be more magical than it is right now. In curiosity, Exper walked towards the baby and inspected it.
The baby looks at him, Exper quickly noticed the two horns protruding from its forehead. The baby have blue hair that hasn't grown much showing how not so much time had passed since this baby was given birth. Exper quickly concluded that this baby is a Demon baby evident with the horns, the recognizable horns and of course, the Demonic energy he sensed inside the baby. However, Exper had heard that Demons have black skin and white hair, this baby had a healthy Human skin and blue hair which is really strange. Something about this baby doesn't feel right...
Exper crouches down as he observed the Demon baby with a slight smile, "What are you doing around here, in the middle of nowhere?" Of course, the baby didn't respond nor did Exper expected a response from it as it merely stares continuously at Exper's hardened-warrior eyes. "How were you able to end up here, far away from civilization?" Even with Exper's Ki Sense, he hadn't detected any Ki Signature hundreds of miles from where he is and he was currently contemplating on his actions. "What should I do with you...?"
The baby still kept staring into Exper's jet-black eyes that was natural to any Saiyan, evolved or not.
Exper brought the baby on his hands, carrying it as he stood up. "So I have to look out for you then? Even though I hadn't even married?" He asked as he chuckled, "Maybe I should've married a long time ago so I won't have to take care of you alone. But it seems I have to and maybe, I should also look for your parents. They must've used some kind of magic to teleport you to here and it is very unlikely they're still alive. But still, we don't know that right? It's worth checking it out."
The baby laughed joyfully at Exper and unconsciously, Exper's lips form a widen curve. Seeing how the baby reacted, he smiled without him noticing it. Exper turned around and look towards the sky, the moon light shines as he closed his eyes.
"I'll be taking care of you then while I'll look for your parents."
It is really unexpected, but it happened.
This story isn't just about a Saiyan Time Patroller working as an Adventurer, it is also a story of how that Saiyan, Exper, raises a Demon Girl as his own while he searches for her parents. Perhaps this very meeting was what Exper had ever wanted, that genuine something. Now, what would become of Exper and the child as he sets out to find her parents?
This is the story of two Irregularities with Exper being the most irregular, in his journey in search of the Demon Girl's parents.
Prelude End:
"The Retired Time Patroller"
Actually, this was really unexpected even for me to write. I had never thought of writing a story in which an OC takes care of a child, perhaps there was once a time but that mostly got overshadowed by other ideas that seems to be less impressive than this.
Now, I'm not a fan of wish-fulfillment OCs–I really don't. I guess I used to read it as guilty pleasures but now, I find enjoyment in good storytelling and good OCs. When it comes to writing an OC, I want it to be a good character and not this perfect being nearly every writer seem to almost write. People look down on OCs because most of them were badly written and I can definitely understand that, I really do. But it's not really a bad idea to give it a try, right? You wouldn't know, it might be better than you expected or it might be worse than you least expected. But until then, give OC-centered fanfic a chance.
I'm not really a creative person when it comes to names, I may be decent at picking it. But when it comes to Saiyan names though? Well, as you can see, I suck ass and I have no idea where I got Exper to begin with. I think I got it from my phone, Sony Xperia (I think I really did have the name from it). It just sounds unique and decent enough I choose it, even though it doesn't relate to vegetables. I was trying to give him the name Rettus which I got from lettuce, but that name had already been taken by my other OC so I had no choice than to give him another name.
Exper, the Retired Saiyan Time Patroller.
Sounds decent enough.
The concept around Evolved Saiyans is something I created when I thought of Broly, Oozaru, Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4. I find it kind of unfair to read when Super Saiyan 3's strain on users without tails is disadvantageous against those who does have tails so I decided to create Evolved Saiyans which could master Super Saiyan 3 without the use of tails. While those with tails are primal and able to transform into Super Saiyan 3 without any strains on the body, the Evolved Saiyan does the same only they are considered to be the evolved counterpart of it. The designs will also be changed, you can find it either bad or good. Super Saiyan 3 designs made the Saiyan seem more primitive so the Advanced Super Saiyan 3 lean more towards evolution of it. The user still have the eyebrows, the hair isn't that much wilder and longer and the muscles are perfectly balanced though retains the same aura and physical amplifications.
If you are someone who had been diving in the isekai genre, then you know how stale and repetitive most of it has become. The same fantasy world, the same protagonist, the same premise, the same choice of romance (which are harems) and a lot of things. While I do use the same fantasy aspects of the world–the JRPG fantasy ones like the settings of the guild, the races and medieval designs, it's not the whole world with its geography and existing biomes. I'm planning on creating something that definitely screams "fantasy" and "wonder" regarding the lands Exper will traverse over in his journey to find the baby's parents. I may feature some crossovers as well thought that is a MAY.
Speaking of the Evolved Saiyan, don't expect Exper to be the same as Goku as he could kill people without any hesitation if he needed to. Think of him as more of a passive, neutral Saiyans back when they still have planet Vegeta to call home or...actually alive though he's a bit different. While he is a bit considerate as he was raised in a rather optimistic environment on the surface, he's pretty cynical even if he does things that greatly helps people and whatnot. That and unlike normal Saiyans, he isn't that battle-lusted. Expect him to be a different Saiyan as he's an Evolved Saiyan. They have different nature, social included. I think I'm getting more and more into cynical protagonists, maybe OreGairu influenced me too much...
That aside, is Exper overpowered?
Duh, it's obvious but that won't matter since this story isn't just about fighting and battles.
Social interactions, world building, diplomatic issues since Exper is so powerful he could be considered as a larger threat than a Demon Lord and a whole lot more. I'm specifically aim for the social interaction since it's more interesting than world building and diplomatic issues. That's not to say those two things aren't interesting at all, I find social interaction to be something fresh and more interesting despite how trivial it seemed compare to the aforementioned two subjects.
I'll also make this a bit...emotional? Dramatic? I'm aiming to create a story unlike anything I've created before with its...romance and whole lot of other things. And no, it's not with that Caith woman. It's someone else. I'm really excited to write the whole scene of it.
Thank you very much for reading, I really appreciate for taking your time to read an OC-centered fanfic. If you like it, do please leave a fav and a follow–also reviews as well. I love to read reviews even if they are going to be either flames or criticisms. Don't expect me to update much seeing as my WiFi is down and I can't really go out much with all the COVID-19 pandemic and warnings from the radio channels. I really need to buy my own WiFi router and pay for myself.
Once again, thank you very much and hope I see you guys in the next chapter.
