Kuzu, a twenty-year-old man, worked at a dingy grocery store, going from stocking shelves to cleaning the bathrooms. His life had been solitary for quite some time, to the point where his social skills had become almost non-existent. He had an ugly appearance, from his crooked teeth to his unkempt hair, and his low self-esteem kept him from getting close to anyone else.
One day, Mia, a strikingly beautiful and popular girl, started working at the store. Kuzu was immediately infatuated with her. Unfortunately, Mia had no interest in him, and instead, took pleasure in tormenting him. Every day, she would make snarky comments about his looks, mock his intelligence, and make some mean-spirited jokes.
Kuzu tried to ignore her but it wasn't easy. Despite her constant belittlement, he still felt a spark for her and tried to get her attention. But Mia only felt disgust when she looked at him. Kuzu's cringing from her insults only made matters worse, and she continued to abuse him.
One day, during their shift together, Mia came up to Kuzu and said: "Hey Kuzu, what do you think you're doing today? Cleaning toilets I bet. You're such a loser."
Kuzu took a deep breath and responded, "Actually, I'm stocking shelves. I don't think I'm a loser."
Mia was taken aback by his response and she stepped away from him with a smirk. Kuzu realized that his self-esteem had grown and he began to believe in himself a little more.
Despite Mia's cruel attitude, Kuzu continued to come to work dutifully. He would complete his tasks, no matter how mundane or difficult they were, and take solace in his successes. Deep down, Kuzu hoped that one day, Mia would take notice of him and see him for who he truly is.
Kuzu repeated to himself, "Just keep your head down, do your job, and one day Mia will see you. Just keep going."
That day, he had just finished his last task and was about ready to clock out for the day. Confronted with Mia's never ending demands, he decided he had had enough and decided to stand up for himself.
"I'm tired," he stuttered in frustration. "I've done everything you asked of me, just like you said. Can you please leave me alone now?"
Mia seemed to be taken aback by his sudden outburst. She studied his face for a moment in silence, then said,
"You know what, Kuzu? I see something different in you today. In spite of all the humiliations I've put you through, you've still kept your head high and worked on with such resiliency."
Kuzu looked up at her, too surprised with her sudden change of attitude to respond.
Mia smiled as if for the first time, and said, "Maybe I judged you too quickly. It takes courage and strength to do so even when life decides to bring you down. You've got something special in you, Kuzu. I'm sorry for all the hard times."
Kuzu felt the tension and awkwardness dissipate as the conversation ended with those heartwarming words. At least he felt understood, albeit for a moment, and that was enough to spark a little hope in him.
Mia had finally seen him for who he truly was, and from that day onwards, Kuzu was no longer considered as the awkward, pale young man everyone despised. Instead, he was accepted for the determined and resolute young man he was, and even earned the respect of his fellow coworkers.
Kuzu had finally found an inner strength in himself that even he never knew existed. His journey of self-discovery has made him an even more determined person, and he sets out each day with the newfound certainty that he could achieve anything, no matter how the world judges him based on his night Kuzu was driving home from work one evening, humming to himself and planning the evening's activities. However, his journey came to a sudden halt as he was struck by a massive semi-truck that came out of nowhere. He never even had time to react; the impact killed him on the spot.
Kuzu was startled when he opened his eyes to find himself in a strange new world. It was a world filled with colorful plants, serene mountainscapes, and bright, flowing rivers. He looked down and discovered with some surprise that he had transformed into a fully-fledged Saiyan; he had a muscular physique and a is Kuzu to do in this new world?This world feels familiar,like he's played it before,but before he can observe his surroundings Kuzu sees Trunks coming at him with his sword in hand ready to strike.
