So before this chapter starts I'd like to announce a change. After a few reviews pointed out that having Intelligence as the stat for Ki Points didn't really fit into the story I've changed the formula for calculating Kp. Instead of being [10+(INT*5)] it's changed to [10+(STR+AGI)+(2*(VIT+INT))] so that it more accurately represents how ki is portrayed in the series. Thank you to the reviewers who brought this to my attention.
LAST TIME ON GOHAN: THE SAIYAN GAMER!
Four year old Gohan was kidnapped by Piccolo and thrown into an insane survival test. On the third day he awoke wearing a new set of clothes with a sword. But that wasn't all, it seemed like he had become a video game character! After some run ins with large dinosaurs he had learned to fight and use his new ability. While looking for food he accidentally found himself in a strange place with ancient dinosaurs. And now, back to our young hero!
Wildlands Velociraptor X3 slain. Gohan will obtain 6000 xp.
Level Up! Strength, Agility, and Vitality have increased by 3. Intelligence and Wisdom have increased by 1.
I watched as the three raptors around me vanished, leaving behind piles of money and two more daggers. I put all the money in my inventory and tied the daggers, including the one that I had thrown, onto my belt.
I waited for a few minutes for my Kp to fill back up so that I could take out any more raptors I found easily. Then I heard footsteps and readied myself. I watched as a large triceratops, whose lowest horn was shaped like a katana, walked into the clearing I was resting in.
Ancient Wildlands Triceratops [Lv 10]
-Max Hp: 400 | Kp: 50
-Armor: 10
An ancient creature. One of the species that survived destruction due to its "Amazing tasting meat". Nowadays it's horns are not as deadly.
"Oh man this isn't gonna be easy." I grunted, readying myself for a long fight against this beast. I charged the monster and channeled Ki into my sword, "Power Strike!" I yelled, slamming my sword into the Triceratops's side, dealing over 1/4th its health with the single hit. "You're not so tough!" I taunted, only to be slashed by the dinosaur's horn, taking half my health and dropping me to the ground. I rolled back and got to my feet, jumping back. "78 damage is insane." I breathed heavily. "I've got 20 points, if I increase my Strength and Intelligence I should be able to beat this guy easily." I quickly dropped 10 points in both strength and Intelligence to power up my attacks. Then I planted my sword and raised my hands above my head, gathering ki quickly, "MASENKO!" I shouted, firing the skill off. It hit the triceratops and I saw a small box in the corner of my vision.
{Masenko Level Up!}
[Masenko][Lv 2]
Cost: 25Kp
A beam fired from both hands.
Damage = 45 + Intelligence
I grinned and charged another Masenko, with that level up it was almost as strong as my augmented sword strike. My Masenko this time was strong enough to push the triceratops back. It looked mad now. It roared and charged towards me. I grabbed my sword and jumped up, barely getting hit by the bladed horn and losing 48 health, leaving me with just 30 health left.
I landed and began panting, this was the least health I'd had since getting my ability and I was scared, but my [Gamer's Mind] was forcing it away. I readied my sword and locked eyes with the monstrous dinosaur. It would take me a minimum of two hits to take it out while a single graze would kill me. "Power Strike!" I charged, dodging to the left as it slashed down with its horn. I slammed by weapon into its head crest only to go flying back. It's Hp hadn't gone down at all!
I fired off a Ki Blast, hitting the head crest but watching the Hp drop by the full amount. "So your head is immune to physical attacks?" I put my sword away and ran at my opponent. I ducked under a horn slash and activated two skills at once, "Power Strike! Ki Reinforcement!" My white aura roared up, doubling my Strength and Agility and I channeled my ki into my fist, slamming it into the beast's side, causing it to vanish, dropping a katana and gauntlet, as well as some meat.
Ancient Wildlands Triceratops has been slain! Gohan has obtained 3000 xp.
"Observe"
Triceratops Horn Katana [Rare]
Damage = 30+Strength-(Enemy Armor/2) OR 30+Agility-(Enemy Armor)
10% chance to ignore enemy armor
Triceratops Horn Gauntlet [Rare]
Armor +2
If wearing 2 or more other pieces of Triceratops Horn armor, double damage dealt with Triceratops Horn weapons.
I put the Demon Style Sword away in my inventory and equipped both the gauntlet and the katana. The blade felt even lighter than my other sword and was a few inches longer. I spun it around, it felt like it was made for my hands. I stabbed the sword into the ground and fell to the floor, laying with my arms and legs spread out wide.
I layed down, hoping to be able to recover most of my health before finding any other dinosaurs. Unfortunately I only had about ten seconds to rest before another dinosaur came, thankfully it was another level 8 velociraptor and it only had 175 Hp. It lunged at me as I got up and slashed me across the chest with its wicked talon. I tried to grab my katana but had to jump away before I died to another slash, I only had 21.2 Hp left anyways. I put my hands above my head, gathering ki to form a Masenko, but continued gathering ki for about four seconds, willing it to condense as much as possible, "Super Masenko!" I screamed.
{Skill Created}
[Super Masenko] [Lv 1]
Cost: 75 Kp
A Masenko concentrated three times over.
Damage = (Masenko Damage)*2
The yellow beam of energy plowed into the raptor, vaporising it instantly. I noticed it dropped a bottle filled with red liquid and smirked.
Weak Health Potion [Rare]
Heals the drinker for 100Hp. Has 3 uses [3/3]
I smiled as I saw another message pop up.
Level Up! Strength, Agility, and Vitality have increased by 3. Intelligence and Wisdom have increased by 1.
My Hp and Kp both refilled instantly so I decided to continue on. I didn't come across anything else for a little while. It was maybe an hour of exploring this jungle before I found the strange, small dinosaurs. They looked similar to Veliciraptors but only about a foot and a half tall and without the sickle talons.
Ancient Wildlands Ornitholestes [Lv 3]
Max HP 51 | Kp: 100
Armor: 0
A small carnivore from ancient times. One of the species that managed to survive the extinction. Nowadays they tend to burrow and make pit traps to catch prey, but in ancient times they used their powerful tails as whips and overwhelmed opponents with numbers.
I was hesitant, they probably had that [Pack Tactics] that would boost their power when they were all attacking me. They would go down in a single hit but with twelve of them I'd probably take some damage.
Looking at my equipment I remembered my three daggers, that would lower their numbers to 9, and with enough speed I could probably take two out. 7 would be hard but I could manage.
I threw all three daggers, with two of them hitting their marks and downing the dinos, but one flew right passed its mark and imbedded itself in a tree. I curse and jumped out, swinging with my katana and taking the head off of a raptor. I swung again, ignoring a skill pop up as I took five tail swipes at the same time. There were 8 left and I had taken 60 damage. It seemed like [Pack Tactics] doubled the damage they did, meaning that I only took 6 damage from each tail swipe. I grunted and slashed, taking another dinosaur down. I couldn't escape the next five tail swipes though and watched my health plummet down to 73. I dodged the last two dinosaur's tail swiped by stepping back into on of the dinosaurs. I got ready to jump but suddenly there was a giant bat circling around us. If I jumped it would attack me but if I stayed down here I would probably die. I roared, using my [Intimidate] skill and causing the ornitholestes to step back. I charged and slashed vertically, cutting one of the raptors in half and running a few feet back. I readied my katana and channeled ki into it. The dinosaurs seemed to snap out of their fear and charged me all at once. I swung my blade horizontally and felt a rush of ki leave my body, sending my blade out in a wide horizontal blade, cutting each raptor in half. I stabbed the katana into the ground and knelt over, huffing.
Ancient Wildlands Ornitholestes X12 slain. Gohan will be awarded with 558 xp.
The raptors disintegrated and the loot was 3 health potions and some money. I shrugged put everything except for one health potion in my inventory. With the one in my hands I took a quick sip and instantly felt the surge of Hp as it went back up almost to full. I looked up and saw the bat was still circling around.
Wildlands Spiked-Wing Bat [lv 13]
Max Hp: 350 | Kp: 350
Armor: 7
A large bat that was wiped out alongside the dinosaurs. It uses supersonic waves to attack opponents from afar and its bladed wing tips are used to kill from close up.
{This is a rare enemy encounter. There is a large chance it drops a [Skill] and an item of [Very Rare] or higher}
I grinned. My Hp was close to high and my Kp was only down by 20 points after using that sword skill. I mentally reminded myself to check it out later.
"HEY YOU!" I screamed, hoping to get its attention. "Come and get me!"
The bat turned and opened its mouth, forming a green ball of energy and firing it towards me in a large beam.
"MASENKO!" I screamed, charging a quick Masenko and firing it forwards to meet the green blast. They exploded in the center and I readied my katana. Suddenly I was struck by a sharp object and saw that the large bat had flown down through the smoke and smashed me with his wing. My hp dropped by a whole 80 points as I flew back and hit the same tree that I had thrown my dagger in to earlier. I noticed that my katana on the ground on the other side of the clearing.
The bat had swooped around and flew back towards me. I grabbed the dagger and jumped towards the bat, dragging the dagger across the bat's back, leaving a deep cut. I bounced off the back of the bat and readied a Super Masenko, firing it off towards the bat, blasting it and the trees behind it.
I landed and picked up my katana and got ready. I would finish this with one more attack. Or so I thought. Before I noticed any pain, I felt the tree hit my back and noticed the bat had it's wing in my stomach again. My Hp dropped another 80 points, leaving me with just 13 points left.
Due to {Hp10%} the {Hidden Feature} [?] has been unlocked. [Potential Unrelenting] Feature unlocked.
[Potential Unrelenting]: While Hp is under 10%, triple Strength and Agility. Also triple the power of Ki based attack. While under 10% Hp, damage taken is lessened.
I roared and the bat flew away. I gathered the energy for a Ki Bomb and tossed it out, destroying the bat and a large swath of trees. After I saw the bat was indeed gone I fell down to my hands and knees and coughed. I took a healing potion out of my inventory and barely managed to drink it down. I instantly felt relieved. As I stood up, I looked down and saw that my gi was basically destroyed. I frowned but there was nothing I could do about it for the time being. I took a step forward and stopped when a gold box appeared in front of me.
{Racial Feature Unlocked!}
[Zenkai!] [Legendary Feature]
[Zenkai]: When knocked under 25% Hp, after refilling Hp gain 10 [Points]. If knocked under 10% Hp instead gain 15 [Points]. If knocked under 5% Hp gain 20 [Points].
My face nearly split with my grin. I looked at my status and noticed that I had gained 15 points and was now at 20 total.
Wildlands Spiked-Wing Bat slain! Gohan will be awarded with 7000 xp.
Level Up! Strength, Agility, and Vitality have increased by 3. Intelligence and Wisdom have increased by 1.
{Level 10 Achieved!}
[Title] Feature unlocked.

Xp gained will be decreased as The Gamer is no longer in the [Newb] range.
Dinosaur Hunter (Apprentice) give a 10% boost in damage against Dinosaur creatures. Damage taken is also reduced by 10%.
I was disappointed that xp I got from now on was cut but I guess it wasn't terrible. That title on the other hand would increase my effectiveness against the dinosaurs that seemed to be all over the place in this region. After making sure there was no other pop ups I checked my loot. There were two skill scrolls, a bow adorned with spikes akin to the bat's wings, a wad of cash, and a piece of black and white armor.
I went for the armor first, naturally.
Wildlands Leather Armor [Rare]
Armor + 10
While wearing two or more pieces of Wildlands armor, increase damage done with Wildlands weapons by 50%.
Wildlands Bow [Very Rare]
Damage = 30+Agility-Enemy Armor
Ignore 50% of enemy armor
30% chance to ignore enemy armor completely
I equipped the armor and put the bow in my inventory. It would be useful later, after I had some arrows, but for now it would just get in the way. I also put the cash in my inventory. After that I picked up the scrolls.
Technique Scroll [Rare]: Gale Burst
Modification Scroll [Super Rare]: Spike Growth.
{Would you like to learn the skill: Gale Burst?}
[YES] or [NO]
Note: Learning the skill will destroy the scroll.
I pressed the yes button without hesitation.
{Skill Obtained}
[Gale Burst] [Lv1]
Cost: 20Kp
A blast of compressed wind shot from an outstretched hand or the mouth.
Damage = 25 + Agility
{Would you like to gain [Body Modification]: Spike Growth?}
[YES] or [NO]
Note: Gaining modification will destroy the scroll.
I pursed my lips and pressed no, placing the scroll into my inventory for now. Maybe it would be useful later, but I didn't want to have a bunch of spikes growing off of me whenever Piccolo came to find me, that would be a lot of explaining. "I wonder if he can sense how much I've grown." I wondered, "Can Mr. Piccolo even sense me at all? It seems like I'm in the past…" I shrugged, Piccolo was probably training on his own so he wouldn't be checking up on me.

"Maybe I should save my points… I don't know when I'll get another ability that needs a specific stat." I looked again at all of my stats and noticed Wisdom was especially low, "But 5 points in Wisdom can't hurt." I put 5 points into Wisdom and watched my Kp regeneration go up to 3.4 per second, "Huh, I guess Wisdom will help once I get high enough Kp. It's still 10 points lower than my next lowest stats which are Agility and Vitality." I sat down and started thinking, "I think I could get to level 20 before Mr. Piccolo comes to get me in six months, with how to xp needed is increasing that shouldn't be unrealistic, I'm probably not thinking big enough honestly, even with the xp cut for reaching level 10 I should still get decent experience." I looked at my stats again, "I don't want to increase my Vitality just yet, I should take advantage of that Zenkai feature I got, but Agility will need to go up once I get my arrows. With my new skill and my bow it seems like Agility will be a major player later on. Speaking of skills once I get out of here I should train them up. After I leveled up Masenko it became a lot stronger."
{For formulating a plan your Intelligence has gone up +1}
"Nice!" I grinned, "But I should finish this dungeon."
I ran through the forest, looking for any other dinosaurs to fight. I ran around the forest in a random direction for about four hours until I broke through a tree line and found myself in a large clearing with a beautiful lake and a few extremely tall trees. Then I saw the middle of the night sky, a black cloud with lightning shooting out of it was flying around. From the mountain in the distance I saw a large giraffe-like dinosaur running from the cloud, but it was to no avail. The cloud seemed to fly from the sky and merge with the dinosaur just as it was about to reach the lake. I had to cover my eyes from the ensuing flash and when I opened my eyes I was horrified.
The dinosaur had changed from a dull, grey-ish green, to pitch black. It had lightning coursing around its body and clouds forming around its feet. I looked up to the massive creatures face and saw long tusks were now protruding from its mouth. It looked down at me and roared.
Lightning Infused Ancient Wildlands Brachiosaurus [Lv 13]
Max Hp: 1500 | Kp: 300
Armor: 10
The ancient form of the modern day [Wildlands Brachiosaurus] infused with an ancient [Lightning Cloud], an elemental being very rarely found in the modern world. This creature is capable of using its ki to create lightning attacks. Beware its powerful legs as they are strong enough to create craters in mountainsides.
I gulped. Running wouldn't do me any good, as much as I wanted to run away. I couldn't leave until I beat this thing, and if I didn't beat it I would die against it. I doubted that there were any other dinosaurs I could find, and the ones I could find would not be plentiful enough for me to level up.
Readying my katana I jumped into the air, intent on staying away from the creature's legs. I slashed at it's torso, leaving barely a scratch, even with my Dinosaur Hunter title. I used my legs to quickly bounced away, landing on the ground fairly well but still almost losing balance. My eyes widened as I heard lightning crackling. The brachiosaurus had its mouth wide opened, forming a ball of lightning.
I ran towards the giant dinosaur as the ball of lightning flew at me. I jumped and slashed at it's leg as I passed, barely avoiding the ball of lightning. While I was under the brachiosaurus I charged up a Ki Bomb, tossing it upwards, hitting the dinosaur right in the stomach.
Critical Hit! 1025.2 Damage!
I grinned as I watched the dinosaur's health drop to 289.2 and I jumped up, hoping to end the fight with one more hit. I charged a Masenko and fired it upwards, only for the dinosaur to scream, throwing me to the ground and dispersing my Masenko. I watched as the large brachiosaurus shrunk down to about 7 feet tall. Lightning crackled around the woman, who was wearing the brachiosaurus as an armor, leaving nothing of her own skin to be seen.
Dungeon Boss: Lightning Infused Ancient Wildlands Brachiosaurus has mutated.
Brachiosaurus Hunter - Lightning Infused [Lv15]
Max Hp: 5000 | Kp: 1000
Armor: 10
A member of a tribe of ancient humans who hunted Brachiosaurus to feed their people. This specific hunter managed to kill the Lightning Infused Brachiosaurus and it bonded to her, turning her into a mindless berserker.
I gulped as the woman leapt at me, her fist crackling with electricity as she cocked it back. I had time to block with my sword and was sent flying back as a bolt of lightning slammed into my from my own sword. I didn't take much damage though, maybe because I blocked the main attack.
I raised a hand towards her as she ran at me and blasted 4 Ki Blasts, each of them hitting her, but not slowing her down. She slammed into my stomach with an uppercut, knocking the air out of my lungs and leaving me coughing on the ground. I noticed that I only took 35 damage from her, which was strange but I wasn't going to complain. I managed to stand up as the woman watched me, charging lightning on her hands.
Then I was hit by a large bolt of lightning, right in the chest. I flew back and rolled along the ground. My health was just barely under half now. I thought that the bolt would be stronger but I could take two more. Only issue was that it was going to take me two Ki Reinforcement Super Masenkos to finish this. With the Ki I had left I could do it, but it took too long to charge it, especially when she could take me out with three attacks.
I readied my katana and ran at the woman, trying to formulate a plan as I fought. I slashed at her, taking a chunk out of her armor as I did. I grinned as my sword's effect activated, completely ignoring her armor. I slashed again and again as she recoiled from the first blow. I managed to get off another four slashes, equaling 5 in total, before I jumped away. She started swinging. I dodged all of the attacks and sheathed my katana quickly. I threw one of my daggers at her and hit her directly in the head, stunning her momentarily.
"Ki Reinforcement!" I activated it quickly, "SUPER MASENKO!" I blasted the stunned woman, engulfing her in the large yellow beam and destroying a portion of the mountain in the background. I charged in before I hit the ten second of Ki Reinforcement. I quickly pulled out my katana and slashed at her, again ignoring the armor. I hit her five times, each ignoring the armor before I had to deactivate my Ki Reinforcement so that I could use a Super Masenko again afterwards. As soon as I was in a normal state I took four punches faster than I could blink. I felt my katana slip out of my hand as I hit the ground.
Boss Creature: Brachiosaurus Hunter has entered [Final Stage] Berserker Rage has ended. Boss damage will be increased.
The woman's helmet had broken off, revealing a deep tanned skin and flowing red hair. Her amber eyes looked at me with malice.
"Prepare yourself warrior. This will be our final clash." She said, kicking my katana towards me.
I stood up, feeling my Potential Unrelenting feature activating. I picked up my sword and sheathed it. "I'll beat you using my fists." I said with a grin.
Sorry for the long wait guys, I've been without internet since the day after I published this story. I've been working on chapters while I've had nothing else to do though however so as long as nothing else happens to my internet or my laptop uploads will once a week to once every second week from now on.
