{Age 745}
Currently, I was standing in front of a door, and Mr Popo was holding its handle.
"This is the door that leads to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Arlic," Mr Popo introduced.
"Inside, the time moves faster than the outside world, 1 day outside is 1 year inside," Mr Popo explained.
"Are you sure you want to go inside alone?" Kami asked me.
"Yes, Master, I'm sure," I nodded.
"Okay then, Mr Popo, open the door," Kami said to Mr Popo.
.
[Creak]
Mr Popo turned the handle and opened the door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The door opened with a creaking sound and a blinding white glow poured outside from the other side of the door.
Kami put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Take care, Arlic,"
I nodded and walked inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
After I entered the Time Chamber, Mr Popo closed the door behind me.
I looked around and saw that I was in a room that had everything to live comfortably. On my right, there were two beds, and beside the beds was a door to the room that had pots filled with food, on the left side was a small dining table, and further ahead was the bathroom. I looked ahead and saw the opening towards the endless white void.
I walked out of the building and stood on the step leading toward the void.
"Ahh, this brings back memories," I chuckled while looking at the white void.
"Alright, let's set a beacon first, and then dive into the void," I mumbled.
I then created a black metal cube and placed it on the ground, then I passed my magic through it and made it a magical beacon that I can locate from anywhere.
I created a beacon to find my way back to the building of the Time Chamber, as the white void outside is confusing and endless, so anyone can get lost inside it if they wander far away from the building.
"Alright, let's do this," I said as I released my suppressed power.
I then created wrist and ankle weight bands of 100 kgs each.
Taking a deep breath, I started walking toward the void. As soon as I placed my feet on the white ground I was overwhelmed by the high gravity in the area. Due to 10 times the gravity of Earth, the weight bands caused me to get on my knees.
"Sheesh, it's too much," I laughed at myself.
I slowly stood up using my telekinesis, as I was not even able to move my hands.
"Agh, even standing straight is taking a toll on me," I mumbled as the 100 kg weight bands that now weigh around 4 tons are trying to pull me down.
"Alright, let's do this differently," I mumbled and slowly laid down on the ground facing upwards.
I then started raising my hands and legs with everything I have.
.
[3 Days Later]
It took me 3 days of continuous workout to get enough used to the weight bands that now I can finally stand crouched and drag my feet to move forward.
Thus I started my journey toward the deeper and harsh section of the void. The white void in the Time Chamber is endless, the gravity here is 10 times that of Earth, and the temperature here rapidly varies between -40 °C to 50 °C. The amazing thing is that this information is just about the area that is near the centre building, the condition becomes even harsher as you go deeper into the void.
"It's about damn time I crossed my power level over 9000," I chuckled and continued moving.
If Saiyans had their Saiyan power, we humans also possess an incredible ability to adapt. Even if it doesn't come close to what Saiyans can achieve using their innate ability, we humans have lived and adapted to survive for thousands of years. If Saiyans can break their limits and grow strong, then we humans can do it too.
And with such motivating words, I kept moving forward, now burning with a desire to grow strong.
.
[2 Years Later]
Currently, I was floating in the air shadow boxing while wearing 100 kg weight bands on my wrists, both shoulders, and ankles. The area I was in had a gravity 30 times that of Earth, and the temperature around me was fluctuating between -150 °C to 100 °C every 20 minutes.
"Haah," I yelled as I threw a punch, "Hmm if my calculations are right then I think today is the last day I have in this place,"
"Then should I stay here until the last hour or leave right now?" I mumbled in confusion.
"My gut is telling me to leave immediately," I muttered, "Let's do as the gut says,"
I closed my eyes and used my magic to vanish the weight bands on my body.
"Whoa, man, I feel light, maybe training under 30 times gravity with 18 tons of weight did a lot on me," I chuckled and examined my unrestrained power.
"My power feels enormous, I feel like my strength is on a completely different level," I was surprised at the level my power has reached.
"Okay, I can check my strength at a later time, right now let's go to the exit,"
I started suppressing my Ki to a lower level. After doing it, I floated up and hurried towards the building, the beacon I left there helped me find it fast.
After flying at my fastest speed for 20 minutes I was able to reach the building.
I entered the building and the effects of the gravity disappeared from me. As I entered the building I looked towards the clock to see how much time was left and I was shocked.
"Uhh, he-he, I only have three hours left," I chuckled nervously.
"My gut feeling truly saved me there," I laughed awkwardly, "Thank you gut feeling,"
As I only had 3 hours left inside the Time Chamber, I decided to use that time to achieve better control over the Ki I have increased in these two years.
I got into the lotus position and started meditating. As I entered a state of calmness, my body started floating and a thin line of pinkish-red aura appeared around me.
.
[2 Hours Later]
I opened my eyes as only an hour was left before the Time Chamber seals itself.
I stood up and walked toward the bathroom to clean myself before I went out.
After destroying the tattered clothes I was wearing, I got inside the tub and started taking a shower.
.
{Half Hour Later}
After a quick shower and a good soaking in a tub filled with steaming hot water, I got out of the bathroom, vanished the droplets of water from my body, and then conjured a brand new Gi on myself.
"Alright, it's time to go out," I mumbled and took a deep breath.
I turned the handle and opened the gate.
.
[Creak]
The door opened and the first thing I saw was Mr Popo and Kami standing there to welcome me.
"Master, Mr Popo, I'm back," I smiled after seeing them after such a long time.
"Arlic my boy, you have grown so much, I almost couldn't recognise you," Kami said with a soft smile.
"Maybe it's because I grew taller in these two days," I replied.
"Pii Piiii, Piii" Sol chirped from a nearby tree, [Or maybe it's because you let your hair grow like a lady,]
I chucked and looked at him, "Yeah, maybe you're right,"
"Piii Piii," Sol chirped in shock, [You… you didn't get angry]
"Yeah, I didn't only grow physically you know," I answered back.
"Piii, Piii Pi," Sol chirped in annoyance, [Tsk, your no fun anymore,]
"Alright, aside from your looks, how was your training, Arlic, how strong have you become?" Kami asked me.
I chuckled and said, "Okay, let me show you my newfound strength,"
Saying that I raised my hand and created a barrier to block my Ki signature from leaking out of the lookout.
Looking at me creating a barrier around the Lookout, Kami got confused and asked "What is this barrier for…"
But he stopped mid-sentence as he felt me releasing my Ki, "Aaaaghh HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,"
A huge pinkish-red aura was released from my body as I charged up my Ki to the max.
"Imp… Impossible, such an absurd amount of Ki, how…. how can someone possess such strength?" Kami yelled in shock.
"It's more than ten times what he had before he entered the Time Chamber, how hard did he train to reach such a high level?" Mr Popo said as he was shocked by my strength.
"Huuuu," I stopped charging up my Ki and started suppressing it.
"Ar… Arlic… How?" Kami stuttered.
"I worked myself hard while I was inside the Time Chamber, I used heavy weight bands while I trained in high gravity," I explained.
Kami sighed and looked at me, "Arlic, why are you pushing yourself so hard?"
"It's because I want to survive," I answered.
"When I go out there, I want to be strong enough to survive," I explained.
"I understand," Kami nodded.
"Now, before you leave, there is something that I want to tell you about," Kami said with a mysterious smile.
"Hmm, what is it?" I inquired curiously.
Kami grinned and said, "Do you know about the Dragon Balls?"
"The Dragon Balls?" I tilted my head in confusion.
"The Dragon Balls," Kami nodded.
"Dragon Balls are 7 orange orbs with different stars created by me, if someone collects all seven of them, that person can summon the Eternal Dragon Shenron to grant his one wish,"
"And I think you already know the location of one ball," Kami said to me.
"If I go with the description you provided, I know the location of two of them," I said while thinking.
"Huh, two of them?" Kami asked.
"Yeah, Grandpa Gohan also has one," I replied.
"Hmm, good for you, now that I told you about the Dragon Balls you know what to do, right, Arlic," Kami asked me with a smile.
"Yes, Master," I nodded, "Umm before I leave, Mr Popo, can you give me a haircut like you always do,"
"He-he-he, sure sure, Mr Popo can give you one anytime you want," Kami said with a laugh.
.
[15 Minutes Later]
"Bye, Master, Mr Popo, I'll visit you guys again when I can," I said goodbye as I jumped down from the Lookout.
It's finally time for my first wish, I can't even express how excited I'm.
Oh, by the way, Sol the Phoenix, decided to stay on the Lookout, that glutton Phoenix loved the life he lived there. Since he doesn't have to do anything there, just eat, sleep, and repeat, he denied coming along with me.
"Well, it's easy for me to do things now," I mumbled.
After passing through the clouds, I focused on Master Roshi's Ki and rushed toward his island.
.
[Half Hour Later]
After flying for half an hour I reached the island of Master Roshi.
I saw Master Roshi laying on a recliner under the shade of a coconut tree.
Landing on the island, I called him out, "MASTER, wake up,"
Roshi opened his eyes slowly and sat up, and looked towards me, "Hmm, you're….,"
"ARLIC," Roshi exclaimed in surprise as he recognized me, "How did you grow so much in just a couple of months?"
"Well, I spent some time in a special space where time moves slowly, and I spent two years inside it," I replied.
"Ho-ho-ho, I see," Roshi nodded while laughing "Look at you, you have grown even taller than me,"
"What brings you here my boy, are you here on another vacation," Roshi asked me.
"Ahh, no Master, I'm here for that," I said and pointed at the Dragon Ball he wears as a necklace.
"Why do you want this crystal orb," Roshi inquired.
"Master, this orb is called a Dragon Ball, and it…" then I started telling him what I heard from Kami about the Dragon Balls.
"WHAT, that's amazing," Roshi yelled in excitement, "Arlic, are you searching for these orbs,"
"Yeah, I'm," I nodded.
"Okay, then here you go," Roshi said and handed me the Dragon Ball.
'Hmm, what is this energy I'm feeling from this Dragon Ball,' I thought to myself as I took it from Roshi.

{Current Power Level - 17000}

I know some of you might say that the power up in this chapter was absurd, I know it's a lot, but keep in mind that the way he trained Vegeta would be proud of him.
And by the way, this power up is nerfed, the reason is because of his age, he has just entered in the growth period of a human. So in a year or two his strength with start growing faster.
