Transmigration

The Dragon Ball world.

Age 762.

On a small mountain on Earth stood a boy dressed in an orange-red martial arts uniform, with a long sword strapped to his back.

At that moment, he stared blankly at the sky.

This boy was Son Goku's son, Son Gohan.

However, this Son Gohan wasn't the Son Gohan from the original story. He was a transmigrator.

Just minutes ago, Su Xuan had still been working overtime at the company, writing code. He was almost finished when his vision suddenly went black. By the time he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in this world and become the five-year-old Son Gohan.

The current time was six months after Son Goku and Raditz had killed each other.

That meant Vegeta and the others would arrive on Earth in another six months.

"Ding! Host's bloodline confirmed. Beginning master recognition!"

Just as Su Xuan was still getting used to his new identity, an electronic voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"The system!"

Su Xuan blurted out the words, then snapped out of his daze.

At that moment, a blue progress bar with a percentage indicator appeared before him.

The percentage on the blue bar climbed quickly. In no time, it reached 90%.

A few seconds later, the blue progress bar reached 100%.

"Cultivation System master recognition complete. From now on, the master can gain one point of combat power by doing a single push-up!"

"Doing one push-up gives me one point of combat power?"

Su Xuan was startled. That sounded a bit like Saitama's training routine from One-Punch Man.

"That's right, master!"

"Then, System, if I train the way you say, I won't go bald, will I?"

"What are you talking about, master? I'm a system with a conscience!"

"A conscience?"

Bad people usually said they were good. Good people didn't go around declaring themselves good.

"Forget it. Staying alive is what matters right now. If it comes to it, I'll just wear a wig!"

"Master, you don't trust me!"

The System sounded a little angry.

"I do! Of course I trust you!"

"Liar!"

Seeing how childish the System was, Su Xuan immediately teased it.

"System, you wouldn't happen to be a girl, would you?"

"Pui Pui! This System is a proper man!"

"Fine, fine, a proper man! System, other systems usually give their hosts a starter gift pack when they bind. Do you have one for me?"

"You said it yourself: other systems. So of course I don't have one!"

"..."

Su Xuan was speechless.

You don't have one, and you're still so confident about it!

"Master, happiness comes from hard work. I may not have a starter gift pack for you, but as long as you train hard and reach a certain level of strength, the System will reward you with an upgrade gift pack!"

"How big is it?"

"As big as it looks!"

"..."

Su Xuan was speechless again.

"System, do you think you're funny?"

"Not really. I'm just average—third best in the world!"

Su Xuan couldn't be bothered to argue with the System any further.

"Then, System, can I only get stronger by doing push-ups?"

"Of course not. The master can also increase his physical fitness with sit-ups, running, squats, pull-ups, and other forms of exercise!

"And the System only provides supplementary enhancement!"

"Supplementary enhancement?"

"That's right. To put it simply, the master already has a powerful bloodline. Even without the System, he can become stronger through training!

"The System simply lets the master get stronger with casual training, speeds up his progress, and gives him time to go on vacation!"

"Go on vacation!"

Hearing the words "go on vacation" made Su Xuan think the System was pretty thoughtful.

But then he thought about it: wouldn't it be even better if he had a system that made him stronger without training?

Sure enough... people were never satisfied!

"That's right, master!"

"From now on, I'm Son Gohan!"

Su Xuan told himself inwardly.

After that, Son Gohan started doing push-ups on the cliff.

"Ding! Congratulations, master! One push-up completed. Combat power +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations, master! Two push-ups completed. Combat power +2!"

"System, could you stop making a sound every time?"

Listening to the System's constant announcements, Son Gohan said irritably.

"Okay, master!"

The System stopped announcing its congratulations.

Son Gohan's ears were finally at peace.

"Ten, eleven, twelve..."

Son Gohan counted to himself as he did his push-ups.

At first, the push-ups felt tiring, but the more he did, the easier they became.

Meanwhile, the sweat kept pouring off him.

The sun beat down relentlessly.

Before he knew it, it was already noon, and Son Gohan was getting hungry.

Son Gohan had done more than ten thousand push-ups that morning.

And that was because he had started out slowly. If he tried to do those ten thousand-plus push-ups now, he probably wouldn't even need two hours.

"I should be stronger than Son Goku by now, right?"

Son Gohan muttered to himself, then jumped down from the small mountain.

After landing, Son Gohan immediately looked around for food.

Suddenly, the ground in the distance began to tremble.

Son Gohan turned around and saw a yellow-brown dinosaur.

There was a scar on its face, and more than half its tail had been chopped off.

The one who had cut off its tail was Son Gohan.

Back when Son Gohan hadn't trained much, it had chased him, thinking he was food.

Later, after Son Gohan grew stronger, he started cutting off a bit of its tail to eat whenever he saw it.

This creature never learned its lesson. Every time Son Gohan cut off part of its tail, it would still chase him as food the next time they met.

"Oh, it's you, big dinosaur!"

Seeing food come right to him, Son Gohan immediately smiled.

He drew the long sword from his back and waited for the dinosaur to approach.

"Whoosh..."

Just as the dinosaur drew near, Son Gohan suddenly leapt into the air and landed behind it.

Before the dinosaur could react, Son Gohan brought his sword down with both hands and chopped off its tail.

"Ah!"

The dinosaur shrieked. Its body instinctively bolted forward and crashed into the mountain ahead, knocking itself unconscious.

"Thanks, dinosaur!"

Son Gohan smiled, gathered some firewood, and lit a fire.

Once the flames were big enough, he used his sword to roast the dinosaur meat.

After a while, the meat was ready. Starving, Son Gohan quickly picked it up and started eating.

"Whoa! That's hot!"

"Mmm, delicious! I didn't expect dinosaur meat to be so tender!"

In Su Xuan's previous life, dinosaurs had long been extinct. If he hadn't transmigrated to the Dragon Ball world, he would never have had the chance to eat dinosaur meat.
