Age 761 → Age 762
Kami's Lookout, Earth
White clouds stretched endlessly beneath Kami's Lookout.
The great tower rose from the sky like a bridge to heaven.
This was where Earth's strongest warriors trained.
The MC stepped onto the smooth tiles, feeling thin air rush around him.
Krillin.
Yamcha.
Tien.
Chiaotzu.
All were already there.
Kami stood calmly.
"From today onward," he said,
"you will train harder than ever before."
"The Saiyans arrive in one year."
Krillin stared at the MC.
"Uh… you're new."
Yamcha scratched his head.
"Strong too. I can feel it."
Tien narrowed his eyes.
"He's almost as strong as Piccolo was when he fought Raditz."
The MC bowed slightly.
"I'm training to protect Earth."
Simple.
Honest.
That was enough.
Far away in the wilderness…
Piccolo threw Gohan into a mountain.
"Dodge or die!"
Explosions ripped through forests.
Gohan cried.
But slowly…
He grew stronger.
In the Other World…
Goku ran across Snake Way.
Collapsed.
Stood up.
Ran again.
Destiny pulling him forward.
The story of one year passed in flashes.
• Krillin and Yamcha sparring nonstop
• Tien meditating under crushing gravity
• The MC collapsing — standing — collapsing again
• Learning ki control
• Learning flight
• Learning combat instinct
Kami watched quietly.
The MC adapted faster than any human.
Saiyan blood responded to pain.
Every defeat made him stronger.
[ Training Cycle Completed ]
[ Host Power Level: 3,000 ]
The MC panted heavily.
Sweat covered his body.
But his eyes burned with confidence.
From 1,500 → 3,000 in one year.
He had surpassed Raditz.
The sky was red at sunset.
Tension filled Kami's Lookout.
Krillin whispered, "They'll be here soon…"
Yamcha swallowed.
Tien clenched his fists.
Even trained — fear remained.
The MC stood before a small white door.
Old.
Plain.
But terrifying.
The Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
One year of training inside.
One day outside.
He looked back at the others.
"I need more power."
"If I fight them like this… I might die."
Kami studied him.
"Very few survive that place."
The MC didn't hesitate.
"I'm Saiyan now."
"And Earth depends on it."
Kami slowly nodded.
"You may enter."
The heavy door opened.
Blinding white light poured out.
Wind screamed.
The MC stepped forward.
And disappeared.
