Ayo diggity dawg, it's me with CoVid-19. Thats why the chapters suddenly slowed.
Plus, did you really expect ME to be able to put out chapters every day? Come on, thats your fault.
In the deepest depths of the Vault of Time, in the Nest of Time and Space, there were recordings of every possible future, every perceived past.
Yet, somehow, someway, a new future, a new past, came into existence, seemingly out of nowhere.
And a small pink woman, with unhealthy bags under her eyes, was incredible confused and hotly angered. But mainly confused.
There was no Time Breaker influence, no Time Travel, no Divine reckoning, just...a new Timeline.
This wasn't supposed to be possible! And yet, here she is, bags under her eyes as she reads from a large scroll, that never seemed to end.
"What? The entire Timeline just changed to accommodate one singularity?"
Her pink face leaned closer, before black eyes snapped open, face blushing as she reeled back.
"HE TURNED WHO INTO A GIRL?!"
[For running WAY beyond your limits, to the point of near death...7 VIT!]
[For running miles on end, without stopping once, pushing your legs to the brink of snapping...5 AGI]
[Running] has levelled up x10]
Daily Quest Completed; [Go bald or no gold!]
Level Up! x1.
Gacha Coin x1 has been added to Inventory.
Huh, neat.
"Ah~ sometimes I wonder if I should've been sent to DxD like most other Gamers..."
I walked over to my small Futon, my eyes dead, and then I collapsed. Falling into a deep sleep almost immediately.
"If your father is wrong about this...we'll come get you immediately!"
What...who on Earth is that?
"Listen, son. Do whatever it takes to survive, got it?"
My eyes widened, it couldn't be-
I banged on the glass, screaming.
But no words came out.
"We'll see you really soon, son..!"
Tears welled up in my eyes, as did it in the woman outside too. She pressed her hand against red glass, and then...
He did the same, I fought back a sob.
I tried to place my hand on his, tried to reach forward and feel for him, but the cold red tinted glass blocked me.
"Goodbye, son."
Then they started to become smaller, the world was getting so much smaller, what was happening?!
I tried to shout, to scream, to cry out for them, but no words escaped my lips.
The woman then waved her hand, tears in her eyes as her voice echoed in my mind.
"Don't forget us, Kakarot!!"
Then there was red, the whole planet red, and then came laughter too. And then–
*BOOOOM*
"GAH–!"
I sprang awake like I'd just been hit by a bucket of cold water, my hands slapped around my mouth as I screamed.
"Wha...hah...what...the fuck?!"
A dream? I've never been much of a dreamer before. Well, that's not true. I dream quite a bit.
But I- well, you know when you wake up in the middle of the night, from a good dream? Then you sleep, but all of a sudden you're in a completely different dream?
Yeah, that's my life.
It doesn't really help with my shitty sleep schedule. But with the System, I've actually been able to sleep really well, I used to have trouble with sleep, but...
Nevermind. This is a Gamer show, sleep isn't what you're here for.
[What does that mean-?]
You know exactly what I mean.
Well, anyway. With that awful nightmare- dream? I honestly can't tell which one to go with here-, I've decided to...
You guessed it!
[Would you like to use [Gacha Coin] x1?]
[Y/n]
[Spinning...]
[Spinnin–]
[Item recieved: [Bardock's Headband]!]
I- uh- wow. I mean- just really-
I don't even know what to say. This is just- so surreal right now. I'm holding onto my Father's headband. My Father's Legacy.
In a sense...I'm holding onto my dad...
"Cool."
The red headband seemed to give off a sort of...feeling, one I couldn't describe.
But it was a sort of instinctual feeling, one that comes from the deepest depths of your core.
The sort of feeling...only a father can give.
"I am Kakarot."
I whispered to the cloth, holding it close to my mouth, as if telling my father, telling Bardock, that I have this artifact. That I've found...him.
Of course, there was no response. So I put I lifted my hair and put the Headband around my, well...head.
And for a moment, i just stood still, and closed my eyes.
If I thought hard enough, for just a second, I could see that man before my eyes.
A scar on his cheek, but a smile on his lips...
Already changed, I opened the door to the hut, ready to walk out, to hunt.
But I turned around at the last second, looking at the Dragon Ball that stood on a sort-of pedestal.
I never really looked at it before, I don't know why. Maybe it's because I felt so responsible for Grandpa Gohan, or I was just...fearful that the Ball would reject me.
I know, it's a crazy thought, stupid too.
But...well, I have no excuse. I just don't think Gohan would ever accept me as his grandson.
Frowning, I stared at the Four Starred Dragon Ball for just a second longer before tearing my gaze away and going to walk out-
*Catch!*
Uh, what?
I grabbed hold onto the red pole that was about to fall ontop of me in confusion.
Only...it's incredibly light, and weighs practically nothing at all!
And...
"Ohh fuck. You're the Power Pole?"
I asked rhetorically to the mythical Nyoibō, twirling it around, between my fingers, behind my back, atop my hea-
"Ow!"
Looking at the Pole though, I couldn't help but grin a little. A weapon, huh?
Neat.
Two Special Items in one day? I'm feelin' lucky.
...which made me think, I have no luck stat. Huh.
This is all just my natural luck then, ahaha~
[Well I mean, you did become a Gamer out of sheer, stupid luck aswell. A LCK stat would be too overpowered for you]
So what your saying is...
I'm too good?
[Sigh.]
[Yes, Kakarot. You are just so amazing! I bet everybody that knows you is just riding you dry!]
...Haha.
Everybody that knows me is dead.
Dickhead.
I'm going to get some breakfast. I don't want apple, or Wolf meat. I think I'm going to push myself to my limit today.
...
"I'm going to kill a fucking Dinosaur."
...
[whatthefuck?]
You heard me.
"I'm. Going. To. Kill. A. Fucking. Dinosaur."
Cue a grin.
"And eat it."
[ARE YOU INSANE?!]
[YOU ARE GOING TO GET KILLED.]
"Only if I die."
[That's what- fuck it.]
HARDCORE QUEST RECEIVED!
[Jurassic World; Dinosaur vs. Monkey!]
In another world, Dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years. But in this one, they walk with man. And eat man, and woman, and children too.
Just what can you do to a Dinosaur, little monkey boy?!
Objectives:
- Kill a Dinosaur.
- Eat a Dinosaur.
Rewards:
- 1,000 EXP
- Gacha Coin x1.
- Class System unlocked.
Accept Quest? Y/n
"Yes."
Alright, now that the Quest is set in stone. The plan needs to be made.
[Plan?]
Uh, yeah. A plan.
Did you seriously think I was going to fight against a dinosaur without one?
Ara Ara, that's just stupid.
[Don't say that.]
What, stupid? You don't like being called stupid, stupid?
[No, it- you know what, I'm going to shut up.]
As you should!
Leave the planning to the genius.
...Thats me, by the way.
"Okay!"
I clapped my hands together. And nodded.
Proceeding back and forth, I started to think.
"[Ki Aura] will help me out alot. I could possibly create a [Ki Enhancement] skill, without the Aura, but that would probably take far too much Ki to be sustainable."
"[Running] too, I haven't tested it. But that should be an easy skill to use in battle."
"Now maybe [Hunting] too? It's only Level One right now, but it let's me hunt animals with more precision, I can catch it off guard, with a sneak attack? Maybe at a higher level, I could see weak points, but as of now, that's a wet thought."
"Now what about [Ju-, no, don't be stupid Kakarot. Until that skill hits MAX Level, it's useless."
"And of course I'll be using [Martial Arts], because I'll use [Jan Ken Fist]. As a finisher move maybe? I mean, that's what Rock, Scissors 'N' Paper really is. A starter or finisher technique."
"[Oozaru] is out of the question. It's not night, nor do I have the control needed not to kill the lizard..."
"But speaking of all these 'skills' and shit...STATUS."
I shouted after my monologue, staring intently at the box.

"Huh."
I'm broke.Nah, I'm kidding. I'M OP! Just look at my KP, it's over 1K! That's- that's just insane!
It needs to get bigger. I need to be better.
And- a Perk Point? I...don't even know what Perks do, honestly.
[A Perk Point is...well, they're things that affect you directly. It's a very hard thing to put into mortal words.]
[Here, have an example. Say...for 10,000 Perk Points, you can get the [Legendary Super Saiyan] Perk!]
[Or for the small price of 1,000 Perk Points, you can get the [Skill Modifier] Perk.]
Huh...that is so cool. So I can essentially get anything with the Perk System?
[Eh...not exactly. You can certainly get skills with Perks, but it comes with side effects.]
[Like again, the [Legendary Super Saiyan, it's your normal [Full-Blooded Saiyan] Perk...dialed up to 10. And gives you the [Adaptability] skill.]
Amazing. Just- I could become a God!
Okay, what can 1 Perk Point get me!
[...1? Hm. It can get you an Elemental Affinity, like Fire, Water, and that shit? Ooh- I think you can get the ["He's beginning to believe!"] Perk.]
And...what does that Perk do?
[Here, I'll show you! It's great!]
["He's beginning to believe!"]
You've lived your whole life living a lie. Your mind trapped in a prison of misfortune and misdirection, stench and screams, but forget that, push hard enough...and the cell cracks.
- Grants the [Psychic] class.
- 2x learning to any [Mind] skills.
PERK EVOLVES WHEN [PSYCHIC] CLASS REACHES LEVEL 100.
Cost: 1 Perk Point.
"Really?"
I looked at the blue box with a deadpan stare.
"Psychic? Sorry, but how is throwing rocks with my mind going to help me get strong?"
Crossing my arms, I turned away.
"Can I get a Lightning Affinity then?"
[I-]
[This Perk is on Sale you idiot! Evolution Perks are so rare, and you're going to say NO?!]
Evolutio- nevermind.
"I'm not a Psychic, okay?! What use do I have with Telekinesis, when I can just punch my opponents in the face."
[...Idiot. The mind is far stronger than the body.]
[But it looks like that doesn't matter WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A MIND!]
"Fucking hell, whats got your knickers in a twist, huh? I'm a Martial Artist, not Doctor - fucking - Strange! I don't need little tricks!"
I rolled my eyes.
"But if you want me to, FINE. I'll get it. Maybe Telekinesis will be useful for...hunting. Yeah."
[...Thank you.]
[PERK BROUGHT: ["He's beginning to believe!"]!]
[1 Perk Point removed!]
I blinked.
And then I blinked again.
I looked at my hand.
"I...feel weird, but I can't describe it. I feel normal, but also...not?"
"System, can you explain?"
...
"System?"
...
No? Could've just said that.
Ah, right. My quest...and my [Quest].
Looking at my status again, i see i have 20 spare points.
Now Kakarot, I'm sure you're all saying, are you going to save these points, or spend them all?
"Thanks for asking, voice in my head, the answer is...I've already spent them all."

"I'm a compulsive buyer."
But hey, I'm not complaining, a whole 'nother thousand to my Ki? Who can complain?
It's honestly kind of bugging me that my VIT is an odd number, and so close to 50, too.
Like, I really really want to know if I get a Perk for getting 50 in a stat.
You don't understand the struggle.
Which just makes this quest worth it, especially if my Level Up increases by 50xp each time, which is so little.
So that's 1,000 EXP, it takes 300 to level up now, so I have 700 left, then its 350 to level, then I have 350 left, which will be-
I'm only getting 2 Levels?
[For using your mind to figure out how many Level Ups you will get, 1 INT, 1 WIS!]
Eh, fair enough. That's 10 Stat Points.
Okay. Let's do this.I grabbed the Power Pole, throwing it over my shoulder, securing it comfortably on my back.
And then I tightened my blood - literally - red headband around my head.
My hair swayed in the wind, and with a determined, fiery gaze, I stepped forward.
...Which would've looked so cool if I wasn't a fat little kid. Literally, you'd think with my STR and VIT, fuck, even with my AGI I'd be a skinnier kid, but I look almost exactly like Kid Goku in the anime.
Which doesn't make sense, because this is real life!
Am I sad that I'm 8? Yes.
But more than that, I'm short. And fat. Or- sorry, 'chubby'. Have you seen Kid Goku? At the BEGINNING of Dragon Ball? Yeah, you know what I mean.
Saiyans are fucked.
Which is funny, because I'm literally about to kill and eat a T-Rex.
I blinked, where did that come from? I really need to relieve this stress.
I can't wait until I hit puberty.
...
...
...
I'M GOING TO BE TRAVELLING ALONE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN FOR WEEKS, IN THE SAME HOUSE. ALONE.
fuck.
Whenever i wanna get hyped, i just put the Dragon Soul cover by We.B on. Not this fanfic, but the DBZ song i used for this-
Anyway, great chapter right? I know, thanks. Next chapter we fight Lucy the Dinosaur. Fun times!
Also, i got covid, and this chapter is coming out at 2:30am. So...
QUESTION OF THE DAY; Should Kakarot be able to fuse? Y'know, like Vegito, or Gogeta. Because Majin Buu is strong, i dont know if he can beat him (or her~) on his own!
I actually thought about this myself, and have a few ideas (would it be permannt?), but i wanna hear your guys's feedback.
And FINALLY; Perks, gib me perk ideas. Or just any ideas you have. I need it, because i cant do it without youuuu!
