Chapter 1: The Awakening

Numb. My whole body feels numb. I flicker my eyelids open as I lay down face first on an uncomfortable, dirty and warm surface. My legs felt like rubber as I wobbled to my feet, dizzily looking ahead as I gazed longingly at some sort of light- HONK! HONK! 'What the hell was that?' Did I just hear a car-

Woman 1: "Get outta the road you stupid brat!"

After assessing the situation, I bolted as fast as possible, disregarding my haphazard breathing and obscured vision. As I looked at my hands, I looked... different. This entire world looked different, like something out of Dragonball Z or whatever. FLASH. A blinding white light bombarded my eyes, although after blinking a few times it became normal. 'What is this weird translucent screen in front of me..? I think I've finally lost it.' I thought to myself. DING!

My eyes flicker between the system and a calendar on the side of a building- age 749? So if Goku is 12 at the time... that means I'm 5 years younger- wait, Isn't that the start of Dragon ball? Since I don't want to mess up the timeline of events, I think I'll just lay low for now... but I have no money so I'm gonna need to resort to stealing for basic resources. An enticing aroma attacks my nostrils, as I smell freshly made croissants at a local stand. I crept through the bustling market, each step as light as a whisper as my eyes surveyed the area for witnesses. My fingers curled around one freshly-made croissant each... snatch- I felt my heart thumping harder as I slowly reassure myself that nobody saw, plus, what kind of Saiyan is scared of stealing? Seriously? I gently jogged past a couple roads, hopped a couple fences, all whilst scarfing down the pastries. At last, I peered into the darkness of what seemed to be a cave. Perfect! This will be my home for the next few years. As I peered into the darkness, I felt it become lighter over time.

Passive Ability: Night Vision Unlocked!

This system will be extremely helpful to me, I can already tell. As the cave becomes more visible, I can see its not much of a cave anymore, and rather a large empty space in the side of the mountain. Silently creeping in, I spot a couple rats and visibly pull back a little. 'Yuck...'

Mandatory Quest Unlocked: Saiyan Training (E-)

Time Period: 180 days

(Temporary 10x Gravity Multiplier for 180 days)

Reward: ?

Suddenly, I heard my joints click from the 10x gravity put on my body. Even taking a couple steps felt moderately hard, but running or jumping felt impossible. Am I really forced to do this-? I can't even keep my Saiyan tail upright. I still don't know what I'll do if I even get stronger, should I fight in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament in 4 years? Would I mess up the future? I laid down on the cold, damp floor of the cave and fell asleep to the sound of squeaks and drops of water crashing against hard rock. Snore...
