Synopsis

"If there's a world like Dragon Ball out there, then I was born in the wrong world." That was the thought Ajax has had all his life. The boring, normal world he lives in is a far cry from the world of Dragon Ball that he adored as a child. Shackled to a monotonous existence, he had expected to live out the rest of his days with little to hope for. Little did he expect that destiny had a different path in mind. In a twist of fate, Ajax found himself thrust into the fantastical realm he had dreamt of! The downside? He’s nine years old, essentially penniless, and has no system whatsoever to help him. Fantastic. Great! He’ll beat Frieza by making him laugh to death! What's worse, the universe he landed in doesn’t seem to adhere to the canon he remembers… Disclaimer: Dragon Ball, DBZ, DBGT, DBS, and other DB spin-offs are all owned by Funimation, Toei Animation, Fuji TV, and Akira Toriyama.

Chapter 1Chapter 1 – A Wish from Another World

The dim, pale light from a smartphone flickered inside a dark apartment, casting a somber glow across the room's disarray. Amidst the darkness, a young man lay sprawled on his bed, surrounded by discarded textbooks and empty takeout containers, a reflection of the chaos that had become his life. He is a student, or was, at least, who had spent years and years buried in his studies, nurturing the hope that it would give him the spark, the opportunity, to make something of himself. However, despite accumulating degrees and certifications, instead of the bright and promising life he had anticipated, he had instead found himself ensnared in a relentless cycle of debt, condemned to lead a mundane, monotonous, boring existence.

The young man lies motionless on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling while his phone rests flat upon his chest. Just moments ago, he had finished reading a particularly captivating piece of Dragon Ball fanfiction. This beloved franchise had been an integral part of his childhood; in fact, it can be said that his childhood has been defined by the adventures of the Saiyan warrior Goku and his friends. The otherworldly battles, the colorful landscapes, and the endless possibilities of that fictional universe had captured his heart and dazzled his mind. It was a world where the impossible became possible, where heroes always rose to face and overcome insurmountable odds.

As he grew older, the unrelenting pressures of the real world gradually dampened his youthful optimism. He had come to the realization that life didn't always adhere to the narrative of his childhood stories, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't always be the hero who overcame all obstacles. However, despite all of the numerous discouraging results and failures he encountered, the stories of Goku and the Z Fighters burned just as brightly as they had in his memories. They became his refuge—a bright sanctuary from the gray, mundane reality that threatened to swallow him.

He gazed out of the small, grimy window, where the city's neon lights flickered in the distance. In the calmness of the night, he couldn't help but wonder if there was more to life than this ceaseless monotony. He had always felt as if he was born in the wrong world—a world that lacked the vibrancy and excitement of the stories he cherished. Oh, how he wished he was in those stories, just think of the things he can do there!

"If a world like that truly exists," he murmured softly, "then I really was born into the wrong one."

But he was not in that world, because here he was, lying on a worn bed in a dingy apartment, feeling the euphoria from the world beyond letters and words draining from him, leaving behind an aching but familiar emptiness. He lies there unmoving, feeling the harsh reality of adulthood pressing down on him. He flips his phone up, the dim light illuminating his face, the words ~ THE END ~ showing on the screen, words that he feels he has seen one too many times.

"The End," he said to himself, his voice barely more than a whisper.

He glanced at the corner of his phone. 1:56 AM, Sunday night. Well, technically Monday morning now. In just a few hours, he would have to drag himself out of bed to work once again. With a sigh, he placed his phone aside and turned off his screen, plunging himself into darkness, with only the distant city lights twinkling through his window.

"It's a nice dream," he mumbles, closing his eyes, "but reality awaits."

As he fell into the embrace of slumber, he couldn't help but wonder again how great it would be if he had truly woken up in the Dragon Ball Universe, to fight beside his childhood heroes. And with that beautiful dream on his mind, the young man drifted off to sleep.

Unbeknownst to him, his phone lights up once more, the words ~ THE END ~ still lingering on the screen. Then, slowly, as if someone was editing, the final two words of the published story began to disappear one letter at a time. In their place, was this:

~ THE BEGINNING ~

Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve

[A Naruto Fan Fiction] Make the best of what you have, they said... But what I am supposed to do when the best I have are red-eyed freaks, a child who's supposed to be the jailor of the most dangerous being in the world, a snake bastard with serious boundary issues, and a whole world of super soldiers with licences to murder. And you know the best part? None of them like me so much... Oh shut it, old man! Take that Will of Fire and shove it up your— Yeah, this second swing at life isn't panning out... --------------------------------------------------------------- What to expect: - Gradual strength progression. Meaningful growth. The MC is a normal guy dumped into the Narutoverse, starts out weak and has to work and struggle for everything he gains. - "Slow" paced. My writing style is a zoomed-in look camera that follows the protagonist. It might seem slow, but I ensure something is always happening to progress the plot forward. - Gritty and often bloody fights and actions scenes with a focus on taijutsu—you'll see individual combat, team fights, and large-scale battle. - A different take on the Narutoverse. The world is full of superhuman mercenaries with liscenes-to-kill—that along with the protagonist's struggles paint the world in a much darker light. - Additions and expansion to the "chakra" power system. I consider myself a conservative when it comes to adapting the power system—and aim to retain the original feel while highlighting the best parts. - The Outsider's Resolve version of Narutoverse uses the [Naruto Manga] as the base—with additions from anime, books, and even Boruto (though very less likely). --------------------------------------------------------------- DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/w5dJ82SfMr --------------------------------------------------------------- PATREON LINK: https://www.patreon.com/fictiononlyreader --------------------------------------------------------------- DECLARATION: This story is also present on: FFN, Ao3, SpaceBattles, SufficientVelocity, and ScribbleHub RoyalRoad [to be verified] --------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: I don't own any character other than my OCs.

good story by far the best in terms of Dragon Ball Fan Fics. 1. The main character of this story is a human and I think that's amazing,I'm tired of watching drgaon ball fanfics have the same trope of an overpowered sayain blah blah blah.Its very predictable and this is a new way of going about it and so far so good. 2.Some of you may be worried about him being human because if the fact its dragon ball and their are bigger forces at play like Frieza ect,Yes the Main character knows this and he wishes for an amazing ability throught the earthly dragonballs.Do not believe anyone telling you that the ability is nerfed or underwhelming,They are the same people expecting a fast paced story where the Mc becomes an "ancient legendary God baby big boy sayain" like grow up. 3.The writing quality is amazing so far so good,My only problem with this is the updating schedule, It's very slow but that's just my opinion it's steady I think it's like 1 chapter per week..I'm just addicted and want more...but yeah I did end up giving the updating stability 3 stars it should be 4 stars but I just want more chapters.. 4.World background not much to say on this end, It's a DragonBall fanfic everything is described well so like...idk bro it's DragonBall we know what everything looks like already bit the descriptions are great as well. 5.Story development is amazing.I love how it develops in such a nice pace.Not everything is happening fast and oh my God,The way characters react to his actions is amazing for example when he killed ___ person to forward the plot, Piccolo was questioning him and others looking at him suspiciously or when he let _____ person die,That also raised a few eye brows.His actions affect the reactions if those around him and I think that's great because UT brings more life to the side characters around him. 6.Overall this story is a 4.0 at least for me and I would give it a higher rating If the author just dropped more chapters 😭. The development is nicely done,Writing quality amazing,Sidr characters feel real and not just there for convenience,World background is great but I've already watched the show so I know what things look like but the descriptions can help you picture them better as well. 7.Advice, Moving forward I would like if the author posted images of what he was describing and what the main character did look like, I've seen other novels and fan fics do this and I think it would be a great addition if you just add a text that says image and then posted a picture of what you want us to see as readers by commenting on the image.That would be amazing as well.Please do update more if you can, I think this will help your fanfic grow faster because by all means I think this fanfic is the DragonBall version of Naruto faint smile both stories are peak.
