Author's Note:
Not much to say here, more of a few questions. I would like to ask that you join the discord and answer these there, but I won't complain if I have to read reviews for your answers.
Questions.
How do you all feel about time skips for growth? I personally don't think that writing a chapter filled with 'Then he trained, then he trained some more' would be fun. I mean, I'll still go over important sessions to his growth. Like the boss rush from the last chapter. Basically, I'm asking if you want a ton of chapter describing his training in more detail, or skipping it and just being upfront with how much he grew and what he learned.
How do you all feel about Hikari's relationship with Bulma? Bulma is OOC in this story, as the story is functioning much differently(This applies to almost all of the characters too). I just want to know if you feel it's too forced or progressing too slowly or too fast.
On the topic of relationships. Bulma or Harem? I'm sure you know what each would mean for the story. After this chapter goes up, I'll have a poll for it put up in my Bio.
I would also like to reiterate for all the reviews complaining about it. This is an OP/Godlike MC story. There will be little effort on Hikari's part in most cases. Just making sure y'all know that.
On with the story!
It's been a while since I started this training session. Right after I exited the Boss Rush ID, I entered an empty one to train my stats in. Even if it takes forever to do so. I had actually increased a lot more than I probably needed to, as I got carried away and now… well.

I guess I got a little more carried away than I thought. It has been a while since I started, not sure how long since my ID's time is frozen when I enter it.
I also worked on a lot of my abilities, including the newest move in my arsenal that I absolutely love: Big Bang Kamehameha. I also used Fiction Adaptation to get a few more things.
[Ki Control]
Lvl: 28 (1580/2800)
The ability to control your Ki better than the average practitioner could be used to gain near-perfect control over your Ki.
Your current Ki Control is above Master Level.
[Kaio-ken]
Lvl: 12 (760/1200)
An art created by North Kai/King Kai, It is a move that uses extreme calm and Ki Control to boost one's power to double or more, depending on how far the user is willing, and able, to go.
Consequences:
X2 = Minor Stamina Drain
X3-4 = Drains Stamina
X5 = -50 HP/s, Rapid Stamina Drain
X10 -1000 HP/s, Massive Stamina Drain
[Big Bang Kamehameha]
Lvl 12 (800/1200)
Focus your Ki into a large compressed ball just ahead of you, then let the energy tear its way out the opposite side. Sending a tidal wave of energy at your opponent.
Minimum Ki: 400
Damage: 750+
[Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan]
Lvl 5 Maxed (50000/50000)
Oh yeah, I did max out my EMS, and unlocked the Rinnegan, which gave me a whole new slew of powers.
[Rinnegan]
Lvl 2: (28000/40000)
The ultimate doujutsu of the Narutoverse, capable of feats surpassing that of the Mangekyo Sharingan and Tenseigan. The eye allows the use of powers from the Six Paths.
Deva Path:
Use of gravitational forces, mainly to push enemies away or pull them in. The three main moves of this path are: Bansho Ten'in - Universal pull, Shinra Tensei - Almighty Push, and Chibaku Tensei - Planetary Devastation
Asura Path:
The user is able to form up to four additional arms and two additional faces, as well as a folded, serrated blade-like sash around their waist. These additional appendages, as well as the user's body as a whole, are augmented with a variety of mechanical weaponry, which they can access at will.
Human Path:
Grants the user the ability to read the mind of any target by placing his hand on the target's head or chest and yanking the soul out of the body. Though it provides intel by getting well-guarded secrets, the technique inevitably kills the target.
Animal Path:
Grants the user the ability to summon various animals and creatures to aid it in battle. These creatures appear to be immortal. Summoning creatures through the Animal Path requires no blood sacrifice or hand seals.
Preta Path:
This ability is primarily defensive in nature as it is capable of absorbing chakra from an individual through physical contact. In addition to this, the Preta Path is able to absorb ninjutsu-based techniques that are pure chakra or chakra based, thereby nullifying their effect. This is done by forming a barrier around the user's entire body, allowing them to absorb attacks from all directions.
Naraka Path:
Grants the user two main abilities: Interrogation and Restoration, by using the King of Hell. The King of Hell can be used to interrogate people as the Path grabs the person. After answering questions the path gave the person, the King of Hell will kill them if they lied or didn't answer, or let them live if they told the truth. The path can also use the King of Hell to completely heal a person of any and all damage even if they were barely alive.
Outer Path:
The Outer Path allows the user to bind and potentially control the movements of those who touch the user's black receivers. By implanting the receivers into corpses or reincarnated individuals, the user can control up to six bodies, referred to as the Six Paths of Pain. These bodies, as well as the King of Hell and the creatures, summoned through the Animal Path, all have the Rinnegan reflected in their eyes and share visual information with the user through the Outer Path. The user can also manifest the chakra chains of the Demonic Statue to restrict anyone who touches the receivers with an even greater binding power. A user of the Outer Path is also said to exist outside the realm of life and death, and has the ability to revive the dead with the "Outer Path - Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique."
Yeah, it's great, you can praise me now. What else did I work on you ask? Not much, as I just recently got new shit with Fiction Adaptation. Which I guess was one of the things changed, It no longer has a use limit. I guess that makes sense, as it already had over a hundred saved uses.
[Gene-Splicer]
Lvl: 30 Maxed (3000/3000)
You can now splice other races genetics into your own. Be careful with what races you use, as you can gain their downsides too.
0% chance to gain racial weaknesses. Decreases at higher levels.
50% chance to gain racial oddities. Example: Getting legendary Super Saiyan genetics when splicing Saiyan DNA. Can choose to disable this chance during use.
I know, I know. Fiction Adaptation can give me races, but I wanted Gene-Splicer for the second effect alone. Getting rare oddities in the species is a very interesting concept, especially with the example it gives. Thankfully, I could train on monsters instead of myself. I got this shit maxed as fast as I could to eliminate the chance of failure or weaknesses.
[Boosted Gear]
Lvl:1 (0/100)
A Longinus class Gear that contains the Red Dragon Emperor, Draig.
Boost:
Doubles all users stats every 10 seconds.
This next one had me pretty happy for the rest of the training after I got it, ending up being the main thing I worked on after getting all this shit.
[Star Platinum]
Lvl: 18 (260/1800)

Yeah, there wasn't much of a choice, so I just maxed Potential and got the other two done and over with. Good news though, I'm a good bit taller now. Now that I've caught up… on… why was I recapping my training to myself? Whatever, too much time alone. Time to exit the ID.
Destroying the Empty ID, I looked around. It was early morning, most likely the next day. 'How long did I spend in there?' I thought to myself as I walked into C.C. to see who was up. Finding Boksa at the table and Panchy in the middle of cooking.
"Hello Boksa, Panchy, how are you two this morning?" I asked as I sat down at the table.
"I'm doing just fine dear!" Panchy said in a sing-song voice as she brought Boska his plate.
"I'm doing fine as well my boy, though I must ask why you came in from the backyard," Boksa added.
"I get up very early in the morning, and usually do my morning training outside. By the way, is Bulma up yet?"
"Oh yes, Bulma is still asleep. She usually stays in bed for about two more hours, before getting up and heading to the lab to work on more of her own inventions. She's actually the one working on your style of Gravity Chamber you know."
"Bulma's working on it? Then I'm sure it'll be done soon." I said, before getting up. "I guess I'll go wake her up. She wanted to become stronger and to do that she has to train, not sleep."
"Have fun with that my boy, I'll put those words on your tombstone," Boksa said in a chuckle.
Line
As I walked up to the stairs, I thought to myself. 'I wonder how strong I can really make Bulma… I mean she is… still… human…' I stopped
"Oh my god, I can just give her Saiyan genes," I said out loud.
I heard a groan, as I was just outside Bulma's door. "Five more minutes."
I opened the door to see Bulma still very much in bed. Also drooling on her pillow. I inhaled and pushed Ki into my throat. "GET YOUR ASS UP BULMA!"
Bulma was spooked right out of her bead and was now clinging to a lamp on the other side of the room looking around wildly. She calmed down a bit before spotting me near the door. "Hikari," She growled out. "What was that about?"
"You said you wanted to get stronger before I left last year. I'm gonna hold you to that. Get dressed and come eat breakfast, we're getting you ready for training." I said before I walked out.
Heading back downstairs and sitting down at the table again, to find Boksa and Panchy looking at me funny. "What?" I asked.
"Your not dead…" Boksa stated.
"Why would I be dead?" I asked. Did Bulma not tell them about our wish?
"Waking up Bulma the way you did, we didn't think you would be coming back," Panchy added as she went back by the stove.
"I think we ought to wait for Bulma, I might need to have a talk with you…" I said before turning away. I really hope that was just a joke and Bulma did tell them.
While we waited for Bulma, I decided it was probably time to check my inventory. Now that I think about it, I never actually looked through it, did I? I found out that I did, indeed, still have my cell phone. Not questioning it. I also have a capsule house and capsule case for use, and some stuff that must have dropped from the boss rush I did before training in the monster IDs. It was a Blue Scouter, no idea why it wasn't green or red, two sets of Saiyan armor, and a Saiyan Royal Insignia.
Bulma came to the table as I closed out of the Inventory. "So, why is everyone still sitting here? You usually head to your lab, daddy." She asked.
"Bulma," I started. Causing her to turn to me, "Did you ever tell them what we did with the Dragon Balls after we found them?"
Bulma flinched and responded. "Not particularly."
"Bulma!"
"I was getting around to it!"
I just sighed and shook my head. "You want to tell them, or shall I?"
Bulma looked at me before turning to her parents. "Mom, Dad." Boksa and Panchy seemed to notice the change in her voice. "The Dragon Balls… They're real, and Hikari and I did use them."
"Really? I was sure it was just a myth…" Boksa muttered.
"Yes, they are real. Hikari collected most of them and summoned a dragon named Shenron out of them, who granted us one wish. I didn't need what I wanted anymore, so I let Hikari use the wish. He wanted to wish for Immortality." Bulma continued
Immediately Boksa looked to me in interest.
"I did indeed test it, Boksa. It worked." I told him. "I did it because Earth will be in danger soon. I know this may sound weird, but I traveled to a place called Otherworld. Otherworld is basically Limbo in most religions, and both Heaven and Hell are real." This seemed to interest Boksa even more, "I traveled through Otherworld in order to train with the North Kai on his own planet, which has about ten times the gravity of Earth. This only lasted for a bit though, as I quickly grew to a level that the gravity there wasn't really affecting me anymore. So, I went back to the Check-in station, ready to come back. I was distracted by something though, my birth parents were found to be living there too. I thought about it and decided to visit them, and while I lived with them for the short amount of time I was there I discovered that I have a brother."
"You… you have a brother? Somewhere out in space?" Bulma asked.
"Yes, his name is Raditz, and he will eventually come for me. The problem is that he is in a sort of Saiyan squad with two other Saiyans, both being a lot crueler and unforgiving. I hope to be strong enough to face them before they get here."
"I see…" Boska muttered.
"To the point, I guess." Bulma started, "When he wished for immortality, he asked if I would join him."
"You… you said yes didn't you?" Panchy asked tentatively.
"Yes…" Bulma answered.
After that admission, the room was fairly quiet for a while while we finished our breakfast. Afterward, we all sat in the living room and talked about how this will affect our lives once people realize we don't age after our respective primes. This went on for a bit, talking about different aspects we will have to cover and take care of in our lives from now on. We eventually had everything settled and I decided that I was ready for pretty much anything.
There were only a few snags left in this whole ordeal. I needed to find out how Gero was doing and how far along he was. How much time exactly before King Piccolo and subsequently the tournament with Piccolo Jr. This was pretty hard as it had been a while since I saw Dragon Ball.
The 21st WMAT is in... Looking over I check the calendar to see it marked a few days after today. Damn, that's right. Goku loses to Roshi in the upcoming tournament and then fights Tein in the 22nd leading up to King Piccolo right afterward. Then there is a time skip to Goku being 19 for the 23rd, in which he fights Piccolo Jr.
Alright, I have the chronology figured out, Now I just need to find a way to spy on Gero. I'm sure Boksa and Bulma can help with that one later though. I need to focus on what I should do now. I could join the 21st WMAT and keep... Hercule... from...
"Bulma!"
