"I'm sorry, but I can't marry a cripple." A beautiful white-haired lady said coldly before a young man, who froze hearing her words. but after a moment, he forced a smile and nodded slightly.
"I understand, I always wondered if you were okay with it or not. you're free to marry who you love. I wish you the best." He said with a smile, to which she sneered with absolute disdain filling her eyes.
"The reason I didn't speak up soon was simply that this matter was below me, you thought a low-life piece of trash yourself would ever be worthy of a goddess like myself? get a good look in the mirror first." She said coldly before turning and walking away, leaving the young man frozen on the spot for some time, before he sat back in his seat, at a loss for words
that woman was his soon-to-be wife, before they were even born, the young man father saved her father, and become good friends. so they made a promise, if they have two boys or two girls, they shall be brothers or sisters for life. but if it's a boy and a girl, then they shall be married once they are 18 years old.
He and she were about to turn 18 years old, but in the past 17 years, he had only seen her a hand full of times. she rarely came outside and spent most of her time cultivating, trying to become immortal.
She was a talent like none other and had even caught the eye of a powerful sect that would soon take her away. So, with such high talent why would she want to marry someone like him? he was a cripple, which meant he was unable to refine QI
Qi was heaven and earth energy, it was everywhere and every living and none living them was capable of absorbing QI, be it willingly or unwillingly, Qi is absorbed into your body, strengthening a person. yet all Qi which came into contact with him didn't strengthen him, and he remained a normal human no matter how much energy he absorbed.
"Well, she has a point. I'm just a cripple." He said with a depressed sigh, thinking tomorrow he would be turning 18. they would have gotten married on her 18th birthday since he was older than her, but it was clear she had no interest in such a thing.
Shaking his head, he sat there for some time, lost in his thoughts, before he finally got up and went out for a walk outside. it was already night at this point, but he didn't care and simply thought about the meaning of his life.
This was not his first life, the second life to be in fact. he was reborn into this world after the airplane he was on crashed, killing him and many others. he was heading to Japan, yet ended once the crash happened, he found himself reborn
He thought this life would be something good, he would become a powerful cultivator, and so on, but nope. he was a good-for-nothing cripple with a powerful dad, how sad was his life?
'Great, my luck.' He thought seeing it beginning to rain, sighing softly he turned to return home, while the rain got heavier and heavier. but he didn't care to run or anything, he walked lost in his mind.
The sound of thunder filled the sky with lightning flashing across the sky from time to time, the young man hearing this grew uneasy and quickly increased his speed to return home, but out of the blue, lightning fell from the sky, hitting.
His body feel knocked, and it was unclear if he was dead or alive. but lightning continued to flash around his body for some time, and only disappeared after a few minutes. at the same time, the rain began to disappear...
"My Head..." The young man said weakly as he woke up, only to feel a sharp pain hitting his head. holding his head, he tried to get up, but that only made the pain worse, a palm quickly laid on his chest, forcing him back down.
"Stupid Sora, you fool. what were you doing outside so late?" A charming voice entered Sora's ears, only hurting his head even more. looking at the speaker, he saw a white-haired woman who looked similar to his fiancé, but younger and not as beautiful.
"Yang Mei, what are you doing here?" He asked weakly, this was his fiance's little sister, and like her elder brother, they were friends.
"I heard big sister came to cancel the engagement, so I came to make sure you didn't end yourself. but I found you in the streets, you were hit by that lightning which feels. you were not trying to come over to speak to my big sister right?" She asked, to which Sora just shook his head
"I just went out to clear my head, the rain came out of nowhere. where is my father?' He asked calmly as he sat up, the pain was slowly disappearing, allowing him to sit up. Yang Mei tried to push him down again, but she didn't dare to use too much force, or else she might end up injuring Sora.
"Today a sect elder is passing through the village to collect talents... you've been out for a few hours, it's already morning. as the village chief, your father has to greet the elder, he left me to watch over you." She said with an annoyed look.
"Thanks," Sora said softly, to which she snorted slightly, at least he knew how to be grateful.
"you were not injured, it's common that people hit with lightning survive, although it's weird you walked away without any scars or marking." She said with a shrug before turning to leave, Sora wanted to say something to her but kept quiet.
"I plan to leave and follow the immortal path, it was nice meeting you. you are maybe my only true friend, if I'm free I will try and make the time to visit you." She said softly,
"no need... don't make me the reason you don't become an immortal. I wish you the best." Sora said with a bitter smile, Yang Mei didn't look back and simply nodded before opening the door and walking off.
Yang Mei grew up in her elder sister's shadow, and his parents treated her elder sister as the golden child. No one paid much attention to her, all but Sora who became an elder brother to her, telling her stories, teaching her to read, and even playing with her when she was alone.
Sora was all she had, although a cripple, she never cared. someone showed her true care, something her parents could never do. so she cared deeply for Sora.
"..." Sora sighed as he went on to lay back on the bed, what was the point of him being in this world? his only friend was about to leave, and he was about to grow up being a good for nothing, he hated this. why him?
{System Online... The Dragon Ball System Online... scanning system.... scanning complete. Scanning host... scanning complete. Gooding morning host,} the system said stunning Sora who just lay there, not knowing if he had gone crazy or not,
{Sorry host of the past 18 years, to awaken, the system needed a lot of energy, which had the side effect of making the host a cripple.} the system said, only for Sora to place his hand over his face
"oh god... I have lost it." Sora said softly, he was hearing this. he was going crazy, he would be those crazy people who speak to themselves or something studied like that.
{host has none gone crazy... host should have noticed by now that Qi is entering your body, strengthening it. the host is now capable of absorbing and refining energy. the system is no longer taking it.} the system said making Sora freeze as the system was telling the truth, his heart began racing as he realized what was happening.
{the system has only 2 functions. the statue's function, the milestone reward function.} the system said before going on to explain. the statues window would show Sora's current stats, while the milestone would reward Sora each time he had a breakthrough,
the rewards can be bloodlines, techniques, or even items. nothing was off the table, so long as it was in dragon ball, it could be a reward. the amount of items given is random, so it could be at most 5 to 2 items,
{the host also has a reward for making it to 18 years old and not dying and managing to awaken the system. please, look at your reward. Of course, the rewards would not be random.} The system said as an image of a box appeared before Sora,
Sora tapped the box and it instantly exploded into life. 4 items shot out of the box, appearing before Sora. Sora looked at the rewards and was stunned.
{Congrulation Host, you Gained...
1. Saiyan Bloodline
2. Power Pole
3. Flying Nimbus
4. Goku Weighted Clothing}
{the reward is pretty much the system rewarded the host for going through the hell he has gone through. Good Luck Host, and Don't Give Up.} the system said while Sora nodded slightly, before going on to have the Saiyan Bloodline fuse with him.
His eyes instantly shot wide open from the sudden amount of pain he felt, unable to help it, he let out a scream of pain, causing maids to enter his room in a hurry. but they had no idea what was going on, and could only try and help Sora by trying to ease his pain, but it was pointless.
Sora soon fainted from the pain, making the maids uneasy as they might get punished if something bad would have happened to Sora. But Sora was still breathing, and seemed alight, only in pain.
"... wait, is his body refining Qi?" One of the maids asked in shock after sensing Sora's body, everyone looked over and their eyes widened in shock, indeed Sora was refining Qi. This was shocking, as he was a cripple not too long ago, now every breath he too put the Qi he absorbed into good use.
"Hurry, let's go tell the master, he would be happy to hear his son can cultivate." They said before they rushed off, leaving one of them behind to watch over Sora.
in the middle of the city, a stage was built where villagers stepped up to test their talents. the sect leader stood on the stage, while the village head stood off the stage, making sure everything went smoothly. He quickly noticed a few maids rushing over, making his heart skip a beat as these were the maids looking after his son.
on the stage, Fang Mei who had just stepped on also froze seeing these maids, she grew uneasy, Sora didn't up and die once she left right?
"My lord, young master is no longer a cripple and is now refining QI." A maid said respectfully, stunning Fang Mei on the spot. His body shook at the news, his son was no longer a cripple, this was the best news yet.
"That's good, Haha, That's good." He laughed happily, making the elder who was on the stage looking over curiously, sensing his gaze, the village head quickly turned around to explain what he was just told, causing everyone who was around the stage to let out shocked sounds,
"I see... sadly your son missed out on the golden ages of cultivation, if by chance he has a hint of your talent, he would have been more than welcomed at the sect." The elder said with pity,
"my son is more talented than myself... That I'm sure of." He said seriously, making the elder looked at him for some time before just nodding, not wanting to cause pointless arguments. all parents would of course say such things about their children,
"Go and look after him, if he needs anything quickly give it to him." He said seriously to the maids, but the maids hesitated slightly hearing those words, making the village head frown slightly, seeing this the maids quickly explain what Sora was going through, making the village head's heart skip a beat.
Seeing the uneasiness written all over the village head, everyone was again curious, and looked over towards the village head, wanting to know. but the village head said nothing to them and simply had the maids go look after his son, while he closed his eyes
those with sharp senses felt something pass over them, the elder from the sect also sensed this and his eyes narrowed slightly.
'so this is the legendary Spirutal sense... too bad he is a cripple.' He thought while looking at the village head, before shaking his head.
The village head spiritual sense reached out, allowing him to cover a good amount of the village, and see his son. there he sensed the changes going on within his son's body, the changes happening to his physique, and how a tail was even growing from Sora's back, all this brought upon great pain, but he could tell the benefits it would have on his son where... heaven shaking.
instantly, he knocked out all of the maids around Sora, he didn't want anyone of them to know more than what they needed to know. after making Sora everything was good, he pulled back his spiritual sense, with his mind feeling slightly tired.
"good back, make sure no one, including you bother my son." He said seriously, to which the maid nodded and left...
Hours passed, and Sora soon opened his eyes, only to find himself on the ground. he seemed to have rolled off the bed due to the pain he was going through. standing up, he found himself almost throwing himself into the air.
'what the?' Sora thought in shock, he quickly stopped to feel his body and was shocked at what he felt. he was too light, and felt so much power following through him it was unreal, he jumped slightly, and instantly slammed his head on top of the ceiling,
He was in shock, but he quickly opened the system to look at his statue's window, where he saw he was now 5 times stronger than before. he didn't have any breakthrough, no he was still a normal human, just much stronger than a human,

'impossible.' Sora's eyes were wide with the sign she was seeing, this bloodline made him 5 times stronger, and by that, it made his body 5 times stronger. # Fist was the measurement of power used in this world,
Cultivators at level 1 would have 10 Fist, meanwhile, those who haven't cultivated just yet would only have 3 to 5 fists. those who push themselves could at most show 7 to 8 Fist,
Level 2 body tempering- 12 Fist
Level 3 body tempering- 15 Fist
Level 4 body tempering- 19 Fist
Level 5 body tempering- 25 Fist
Level 6 body tempering- 31 Fist
That was all Sora knew as the highest cultivation he knew of was level 6, which was said to be his father and Fang Mei family's strength,
As one can see by the Cultivation listed in his cultivation statutes, there were 3 types of cultivation. Qi, Body, and Soul Cultivation.
Qi Cultivation was the cultivation of one energy, they dense their energy and purify it, giving them far greater power than others. they can channel energy into the body, strengthening it to a great degree that they could move at high speed, withstand powerful attacks, or last out with power attacks. or they could just gather Qi and shot it out, causing great damage
Body Cultivation was the act of strengthening the body, they tap into unique energy known as physical energy which allows them to better control their body energies.
Soul Cultivation is the act of strengthening one soul. Sora knew less about this path as no one in the village seems to know much about it. but he guessed it was like those cultivation novels he had read about, and would allow one to pretty much strengthen their soul, allowing it to exist without the body or something like that.
'system why is my soul cultivation at level 2?' Sora asked in confusion, he didn't know the Saiyan bloodline had any benefits on the soul.
{because the host soul has reincarnated, and gone through a transformation, allowing you to be born with a stronger soul. this is why Host could perfectly remember everything from his past life.} the system said to which Sora nodded in understanding.
'Well, now I can go and join them and enter a sect.' Sora thought, he took hold of his tail, and wrapped it around himself, before he rushed out, and headed towards the center of the city. He moved so fast that everyone he passed could only feel the burst of wind left behind,
Sora arrived at the village center in a few seconds, but when he arrived he found everyone was cleaning up, he was too late. He froze for some time, only snapping out of it when someone's palm landed on his shoulder.
"Father?" Sora said softly, his father smiled slightly while looking at him,
"no need to be so down, that small sect would have been a waste of your talent. My boy, I have always known your talent as far above mine, and this proves it. let's go inside, there are a few things you should know." He said calmly, Sora nodded slightly and simply followed him back home.
