Dragon Ball: Multiverse Reborn

Kaito had always been an ordinary guy. He worked a nine-to-five job, spent his weekends gaming, and had a soft spot for anime and novels. Life was simple, but it was enough. That is, until a tragic accident snatched it all away.

He had just stepped out of the convenience store, a bag of chips in his hand, when a screech of tires echoed through the night. The world blurred, and then… blackness.

Kaito's eyes fluttered open, the first sensation being the cool, unfamiliar air around him. His body felt strange—faster, more alive—but also heavier, more powerful. He was laying on his back, staring at a vast sky. As his vision cleared, the silhouette of a large tree loomed over him. The wind carried a faint, almost familiar scent of ki.

"Where… where am I?" Kaito whispered to himself, rubbing his head. The last thing he remembered was being hit by a car. Now, he was in some unknown place, feeling the pulse of power surging through his veins.

As he sat up, trying to get his bearings, a bright light appeared in the sky. Kaito squinted, instinctively putting his hand up to shield his eyes. The light turned into a holographic screen, shimmering before him.

---

"Congratulations, Kaito, for your second chance at life. You have been reincarnated into the Dragon Ball universe. However, this is not a simple rebirth. You are now the owner of a unique system: the Multiverse Recruitment Chat Group."

The message faded, leaving Kaito in stunned silence. Dragon Ball universe? Reincarnated? Multiverse Recruitment Chat Group?

He blinked rapidly. This had to be a dream, right? Or was he hallucinating? He wasn't sure, but the words felt too real.

Before he could process any further, another screen appeared before him—this one much larger, filled with intricate details.

So this is real… Kaito thought, his mind racing. He quickly processed the information. I'm in the Dragon Ball universe… and I can recruit people from other worlds?

Kaito smiled wryly, still trying to take it all in. He stood up, feeling the weight of his new body. The power surging through him was undeniable—he could sense it. This power… it's like I'm a Saiyan, but not quite. Maybe I've got something more.

His new body felt strong, but it was still untrained. I've got a lot to figure out.

---

"Would you like to recruit your first member?" the system asked.

Kaito blinked. Wait, I can recruit someone already?

A list appeared on the screen, showing various names and universes. The options were endless.

This could be the most important decision of my new life.

Kaito scanned the names. There were so many powerful warriors from across multiple universes. From Naruto to One Piece, the potential recruits seemed endless.

His eyes fell on one name: Goku—the legendary Saiyan warrior from Universe 7.

Kaito didn't hesitate. "I'll recruit Goku," he said aloud, his voice full of determination.

The moment the words left Kaito's mouth, the air around him seemed to crackle with energy. A bright flash of light appeared before him, and within seconds, the legendary Saiyan, Goku, materialized before him. He was wearing his signature orange gi and had a cheerful, perplexed smile on his face.

"Huh? Where am I? Who called me here?" Goku asked, looking around, slightly confused.

Kaito's mouth went dry. Goku… he's actually here! His heart raced, realizing the power of the system. "Uh… hey, Goku. I'm Kaito. I called you here. You're part of my team now."

"Team? You're not my enemy, are you? 'Cause I've got to warn you—if you are, I'm not going easy!" Goku grinned, cracking his knuckles.

Kaito chuckled nervously, realizing that Goku had no idea what was going on. "No, no! I'm not your enemy. I'm… the owner of the Multiverse Chat Group. It's a system that allows me to recruit powerful people from across different universes. I need your help to grow stronger."

"Huh, sounds like fun! I'm in!" Goku exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up. He was always quick to jump into new adventures, and this one was no different.

---

Kaito, feeling a surge of excitement, decided it was time to test his strength. "Alright, Goku. Let's spar a little. I want to see how strong I am in this body."

Goku grinned even wider. "You sure? I might go a little too hard!"

Kaito raised his hand, flexing his fingers as energy crackled around him. He'd never felt power like this before—he could feel it in his bones. "Don't hold back," Kaito said confidently.

Without another word, Goku took a stance and launched himself at Kaito. His speed was phenomenal, and Kaito instinctively dodged, his new Saiyan reflexes kicking in. He countered with a quick jab to Goku's side, which Goku easily blocked with a grin.

---

The two spent hours sparring, each learning from the other. Kaito's new body adapted quickly, and his fighting instincts sharpened with every punch, every kick. Meanwhile, Goku was impressed by Kaito's potential. By the time they stopped, Kaito's power level had increased dramatically.

Kaito smiled as he looked at the updated stats on the screen. His first recruit was a success.

"You've got some real potential, Kaito," Goku said, wiping sweat from his brow. "But you've got a long way to go to reach my level! Let's keep training!"

Kaito nodded, excited for the future. With Goku at his side and the power of the Chat Group at his disposal, there was no telling how far he could go.

But one thing was certain—his new life had just begun, and it would be a journey unlike any other.
