Chapter 7: New enemies

"Hmm, it's not so bad…." Raiden rubbed his chin while scanning his naked body in front of a mirror.

His most notable physical change was the addition of a tail behind his back. At first, it took him a while to adjust to this change, but Raiden got used to it. His eyes also resembled that of Freeza, which gave him a stern look.

There were two more physical changes Raiden received from this transformation.

One, he went completely bald. That's right, folks. Our protagonist was now void of any hair, literally ANY hair. While happy about other bodily hair, he wasn't ready to lose his head hair and brows. Now, he had to waste a wish to return his head mat.

And the second change was…

"Hey, Raiden. How long are you- what the? Where is your dick?" Lemo entered Raiden's room and asked.

"Jesus, Lemo! Don't you have any decency?!" Raiden freaked out and immediately hid his naked body.

"Why, though? There is literally nothing there." Lemo scratched his head.

"That is… never mind." Raiden wanted to complain but just rolled his eyes. Lemo had probably spent enough days to not care about these petty things.

"Just put on your armor and come to the pilot chamber. We are landing on a near planet." Lemo left his room.

And as Lemo mentioned, the third change was Raiden's little brother.

"What the hell was Toriyama thinking when he designed Freeza…?" Raiden palmed his face and then looked at the part where his little Draco used to be.

Why was Raiden not complaining? It was because he could erect out his Pepe whenever he wanted. It had advantages where he didn't need to worry about being kicked on the balls, but now his Pepe looked like something Raiden didn't want to describe.

After wearing his inner suit and putting on his armor, Raiden came to the main room and sat on the co-pilot seat. On the front screen, he saw a little red planet where he would be landing, but he didn't care much. He opened his status to study other aspects of his system.

Another thing Raiden noticed was how his [Omega Release] Skill had leveled up to Lv 20. For the past month, Raiden had been practising his Omega Beam technique.

Let's talk about Skill.

There are two aspects of a Skill.

1. Rank

2. Level.

Rank here describes additional effect to any skill. For example, at [Base], Raiden could only release Omega Beam in bullets. In [Advance] level, Raiden could now use them as laser beams. The [Expert] level is where Raiden could use Omega Beams like Darkseid. Raiden could also send these beams from his fingers, but it wouldn't have that multi-targeted effect.

Now Level is something that describes the effectiveness of a skill. For example, at level 1, Raiden could only target at close range, whereas, at level 25, Raiden could now hit multiple targets with more precision.

A level could be increased if Raiden could practice related techniques while Raiden had no idea how he would raise the skill rank.

'Sigh. Looks like I have to find a way to train…' Raiden sighed, closed his system and leaned on his back. While he trained some of his skills, his level was the same.

While killing and gaining experience sounds fun, it wasn't the case in real life. The system only gives him EXP when he 'kills' his 'enemies'. For his opponent to be EXP, they must be strong and some threat to Raiden.

Not that he could do anything but wait for some missions or look for strong opponents.

'Maybe I could look for some enemies early on…."

"Lemo, what year is it?" Amidst of his thought, Raiden asked.

"I think it is Year 730 or 731…." Lemo muttered between the lines.

Now that Raiden thought about it, King Cold had only recently announced his retirement to give his throne to his two sons, and Saiyans were already working under Freeza.

These events wouldn't have started for another year. Since Raiden wasn't involved in anything, he didn't think it was his fault.

"Lemo, a psychological question. What would you do if you knew a future where your homeland could have been destroyed, or you would be fighting powerful individuals but remained alive?" Raiden asked his little orange alien friend.

"Hmm, well, I won't get involved in anything and let the future roll as it should have been." Lemo paused as he looked at Raiden, "But if I had to involve myself, I would become strong enough on the sidelines until I could take on the final boss."

Raiden, surprised by Lemo's answer, widened his eyes.

Come to think of it, Raiden could do precisely that, and he would have every chance to get strong. Plus, his [Foreigner] Skill would make events roll the same way if Raiden didn't change these events' starting points.

For example, if he were to kill someone major, like Goku, he would change the very basis of the Dragon Ball timeline. Maybe he would become the targeted protagonist with events unknown.

However, if he were to kill some movie characters or future villains like Moro, he won't have to worry about a timeline mess.

'That's decided. I won't get involved in the main story for the time being….'

Raiden won't be running from fights and challenges, but he wanted to be cautious. Dying twice in a single day wasn't easy.

Plus, he was worried about Cooler. Although Raiden only wanted to bluff, he didn't know if Cooler would take any concrete action that would alter this timeline.

"You mean, you know the future?" Lemo dropped a sweat.

"Yeah. You believe?" Raiden smirked.

Lemo turned to the screen, "Somehow, I do. And I don't think I am ready to hear but let me know what I should know."

"Sure."

---

Two humanoid individuals were walking in a dark hallway, in an unknown location, with one dominating.

"Salza, I wanted to ask. What is this porn thing that worn kept saying?" Cooler asked.

"Wha…! I mean, do you really want to know? It might not be suitable to hear."

Cooler stopped walking and turned towards Salza with a stern look.

Salza, flushed with embarrassment, spoke.

"It's a video where some humanoid races would… mate with each other..."

"My~ that's disgusting…. Wait, something like this even exists?"

"I apologize, but they do…." Salza answered, trembling with embarrassment. He swore he would destroy that human worm the next time he saw Raiden. Not that Raiden was alive.

'Hmm, now that I think about it… how the hell does my race mate?' Cooler thought as he resumed his walk.

Cooler had only seen a single female who was his mother. She was alive, but she died somehow. Cooler didn't know of. But now he was curious.

They then entered a chamber where they saw a single individual sitting on a throne-like chair in the middle of the room. Salza immediately sat on one knee while Cooler just folded his arms.

That individual was King Cold, father to Freeza and Cooler.

"Father, I thought we would be gathering here for a meeting. Where is Freeza?" Cooler asked with a stern tone.

King Cold, who had a smile before, turned stiff.

"He isn't coming. From what I have heard, he is busy conquering the planet and making progress, unlike someone rude."

Cooler, hearing this, tightened his grip to the point his palms began bleeding.

Since Freeza was a prodigy of his race, King Cold had always shown a soft side to Freeza. King Cold wouldn't even bat an eye before granting Freeza any wish he desired. Saiyans were an example of how Cold handed the entire race to Freeza.

Meanwhile, Cooler had to do everything to prove himself to his father. While Freeza never trained, Cooler had to endure many trials before standing beside his father and little brother.

Cooler, getting nowhere, sighed and decided to take his leave. Before speaking, he gestured to Salza to leave the father-son duo alone, "Just last question. How does my race breed? Also, why haven't I seen any other member of our race?"

"Hmm, interesting question. I can't say anything about the breeding method since I was knocked out when your mother conceived you and Freeza. As for other race members, I think we are the last of our people. In the past, someone, I don't know who, blew our planet for some reason."

Cooler nodded and left King Cold's chamber.

As Cooler walked, he narrowed his eyes, "Salza, let's continue training."

'If what that brat has said is true, then maybe I could unlock a new form. Now that my family is becoming a nuisance, I must get stronger.'

Unbeknown to Raiden, the timeline was already shaped in different turns.

"So this is Planet ChldinBasmnt. Seriously though, people of this universe need to think about their naming sense..."

Raiden took a deep breath of fresh year after landing on the new planet. Unlike the name, the planet was literately cosy and refreshing. Something that both alien duos needed after months of interplanetary travel.

However, just when Raiden was thinking of relaxing on a solid surface, Lemo gave him another headache news.

"What the… there are three power levels of 2000, with one having 2600!"

At first, Raiden didn't consider them a threat before using his gamer appraisal skill and palming his face.

[Name: Turles

Power level: 2600]

[Name: Fush

Power Level: 2010]

[Name: Chomi

Power Level: 2040]

(AN: I have decided not to use overly complex gaming bars for enemies as it would be a lot of work.)

"Sh!t, they are saiyans…" Raiden sighed.

"Saiyans? You mean those so-called Freeze's elite race…?" Lemo scratched his head, "You could deal with them easily, but looking at your face, I think it is also best to ignore them for now."

While Raiden could stomp these monkeys like ants, Raiden wanted to avoid everything related to Freeza. He didn't know if Freeza was using a transmitter on their scouters to pinpoint Raiden's location.

However, before Raiden could answer Lemo, he saw some notifications in front of him.

[Main mission has been triggered.]

[Main Mission:

Objectives:

1. Kill Turles using Omega Effect.

2. Obtain the seed of might.

Rewards: 20,000 EXP, Active Skill [Telekinesis: Advanced (25/50)], Unlock Inventory.]

Seeing those rewards, Raiden smirked and cracked his knuckles.

"Nope, we are ape hunting today."
