Prologue - Transmigration and Awakening

"Ugh, what is this..."

Sun Chao, who had regained consciousness, slowly opened his eyes and saw several blurred figures appear in his field of vision.

"Goku, Gohan is awake! Come look!"

As a woman's voice rang out, the tall, strong-looking figure immediately came to Sun Chao's side, then reached out a large hand and placed it on his forehead.

"Don't worry. His fever has gone down. He should be clear-headed now."

After the steady male voice finished speaking, he turned to Sun Chao and asked, "Gohan, can you hear me?"

Gohan... Why did that name sound so familiar?

Still groggy and muddled, Sun Chao struggled to speak. "My head feels really dizzy."

After he opened his mouth, Sun Chao discovered in astonishment that at some point, his voice had turned into an incredibly childish one.

But in the next instant, the shock that rose in his heart surpassed his surprise at his own voice.

Because when his vision became clear, the man standing beside him—his familiar appearance—seemed to drop a bomb in Sun Chao's mind.

Although he was different from the anime now that he had become a real person, there was no changing those incredibly familiar features.

And combined with the names they had just called each other, Sun Chao could fully determine the identities of the two people before him.

This world was the world of Dragon Ball. The man in front of him was the protagonist of this world—Son Goku—and the woman beside him was his wife, Chi-Chi!

Then Sun Chao's current identity was their son—Son Gohan!

Such explosive information instantly stimulated Sun Chao's mind, which had still been muddled a second ago, into incomparable clarity the next second.

Transmigration was not strange. For someone like Sun Chao, who came from a world of information explosion, he had long since seen this sort of thing often enough not to be surprised.

The little hands and feet under the blanket very clearly told Sun Chao the age of this body.

In his mind, Sun Chao instantly flashed through the entire plot of Dragon Ball, starting from Son Goku's childhood all the way to Dragon Ball Super.

This world could not exactly be called dangerous, and that was based on the fact that his current body was that of a Saiyan.

But if you said it was not dangerous, this world casually had planet-destroying levels of power, and the most terrifying Zeno could destroy a universe with a single thought.

"Gohan, are you really all right?"

Looking at his dazed son, Son Goku asked with some worry, at the same time reaching out his palm and waving it in front of him.

"No, Dad, I'm fine!" Gohan (from now on, this will be the general name) came back to his senses and hurriedly answered.

In the next instant, Son Gohan felt himself enter a warm embrace.

"My poor child, this is all because your dad insisted on taking you swimming in the river. In weather this cold, wasn't that practically making you catch a cold and get a fever on purpose!" Chi-Chi hugged Gohan and complained.

The super-straight man Goku immediately retorted, "Chi-Chi, that's not right. I did it for Gohan's own good too. When I was his age, was there anywhere in the whole forest I hadn't been?"

"Goku!"

When Chi-Chi heard this, she immediately turned her head and roared at him, "He is your son, your own son, not your enemy! If you keep doing this, don't even think about me cooking for you again!"

"All right, all right, Chi-Chi, don't be angry. I'll listen to you."

Although he had the attributes of a super-straight man, Son Goku still knew what could and could not be said, and hurriedly coaxed his wife. "Look, isn't Gohan fine now?"

"Hmph!"

Chi-Chi let out a cold snort, then turned and stroked Son Gohan's head as she said, "Gohan, don't listen to your bastard old dad anymore, understand?"

Gohan could only say helplessly, "Mom, Dad was doing it for my health too. Please stop scolding him."

To be honest, Sun Chao did not want to become the Great Saiyaman from the original work, wasting such good talent.

Moreover, in the days to come, he definitely had to focus mainly on becoming stronger. He had to correct Chi-Chi's way of thinking!

"You!?"

Chi-Chi immediately looked at this son of hers in disbelief, this son who had never once gone against her words.

"All right, Chi-Chi, hurry up and make food. Gohan must be hungry."

Sensing that the atmosphere had fallen into awkwardness, Goku, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke up to smooth things over.

The expression on Chi-Chi's face shifted, but in the end, she still sighed and got up to head to the kitchen.

"Gohan, just lie down. Later, let your mom feed you." Son Goku stroked Gohan's head and said.

"No, I can eat by myself." As Gohan spoke, he struggled to get up.

Just as he was about to get out of bed, Gohan almost fell to the floor because his legs were weak, but he still gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand.

Seeing this scene, Son Goku, who was beside him, immediately revealed a satisfied expression. As a martial artist, he naturally hoped his son would also be a tough guy, not like before, crying at every little thing.

"Dad, I want to train my body. I want to learn martial arts!"

Looking at Son Goku, Son Gohan said these words in a voice that was childish, yet sonorous and forceful.

His son's words immediately startled Son Goku as a father. One had to know that Son Gohan had been introverted and quiet since childhood, completely opposite to his father in personality.

Yet he had not expected him to actually be able to say something like this now. Could this experience have caused a drastic change in his personality?

Since Son Goku could not figure it out, he naturally stopped thinking about it. He reached out and patted Son Gohan on the shoulder, saying, "No problem. Once your body gets better, I'll teach you."

A day later, thanks to the strength of his Saiyan bloodline, Son Gohan's body quickly returned to normal.

After he felt that his body had completely recovered, Gohan immediately began training under Son Goku's guidance.

Right now, time was equal to strength. The sooner he trained and strengthened his body, the more it would help him in future battles.

In a little over a year, Raditz would descend upon Earth. At that time, he would be an enemy that even Son Goku and Piccolo could only bring down with a mutual-destruction tactic.

And then there were Nappa, Vegeta, and all sorts of enemies on Planet Namek after that. To the current Sun Chao, they were all terrifying foes who could crush him with ease.

But Son Gohan was not worried at all!

With the physique of a Saiyan and his knowledge of this world's history and its various bugs, he was completely confident he could surpass those enemies!

"Then start by running. See that big tree up ahead? Run there first, then turn around and come back."

Son Goku also wasn't sure whether this son of his was just acting on a sudden impulse, or whether he truly wanted to learn martial arts from him.

If it was the former, then he would simply let him retreat in the face of difficulty as soon as possible. If it was the latter, then Son Goku would pour everything he had into training him.

Without refusing or objecting, Son Gohan also knew that he could not do any kind of extreme training right at the start. He had to take it step by step.

Half an hour later, Gohan dragged his exhausted body back in front of Son Goku, panting for breath.

Looking at his son, whose face was covered in beads of sweat as he kept gasping heavily, Son Goku revealed a satisfied expression.
