You regain consciousness with a groan and, a splitting headache that was almost bad enough to forget about the full body pain, almost being the key word here, and the need to pee.
"System?" You call out for the first time.
[System Disabled.]
"Son of a bitch." With a grunt of effort you crawl towards the counter and lift yourself up, and trust me when I say it was easier said than done. "The one time I need the damn thing and it doesn't work. This is bullshit." You complain. Fortunately the trip to the bathroom was uneventful.
[System Update Complete.]
You raise an eyebrow, an Update? Sounds like good news. "Status." You try to open your stats.
[Access Denied.]
Annoyed but not disheartened you try again. "Open?"
[Access Denied.]
"Status? Inventory?"
[Access Denied.]
You continue to try and access anything but unfortunately for you nothing works.
"Oh! I almost forgot about the Dragon Balls!" Laughing you were excited.. until you also remembered that the system isn't working right now. "Motherfuc-"
[Items retrieved: Dragon Balls.]
Blinded by a bright light you blink several times trying to clear your vision. "Wow, thanks system. I really needed that, you're too kind.." You release a deep sigh, inhaling sharply when your body reminded you of your current ailment.
[You're welcome.]
Now that you're vision has cleared you look down to see.. nothing? Is the system fucking with you? But upon closer inspection you can see them, 7 orbs of great power, many have died in pursuit of their wish granting ability..
"System, what the fuck is this?" You ask, genuinely frustrated at this point.
[The One star, Two star, Three-]
"I know what they are but why are they small?!" Dispite your annoyance at the system you couldn't help the laugh that escaped from you. On the floor in front of you were indeed all seven of the Earth Dragon Balls from the anime, but they were the size of marbles.
[Size isn't everything, the item before you will work as intended, on a lesser scale than the original orbs. The dead can't be revived. Choose carefully, once made your wish can't be undone.]
"So I can wish for anything I want? As long as i don't try to bring the dead back to life?" That sounds too good to be true.
[Yes. However, all wishes are not without a price. Some will require immediate payment and others will cost more in the end.]
You listened for a bit, honestly it made you hesitant but you wouldn't wish for anything crazy so it would be fine. "Thanks for the warning." You say as you think of a wish. You could wish for some armor? No, unless it's indescribable but then that wouldn't be as fun. Guns with unlimited ammo? Or the speed force? Ok those are ridiculous. You'll just wish for something simple, like being a Saiyan. "Who wouldn't want to be one? Wait, i should probably wish for a Dragon Radar, I'll be damned if i have to search for them without it." With that out of the way you go on to summon the dragon. First and foremost you clear your throat, inhale and- "Eternal Dragon, by your name, I summon you forth, Shenron!" Grinning like a fool you watch as the dragon balls glow and from it came the legendary dragon: Shenron. He was appropriately sized down to that of a 30cm replica but this was real.
"I am Shenron, the Eternal Dragon! Speak your wish and I shall grant it! If it is within my power it shall be!"
The mini Shenron was cute, it even came with the dark clouds overhead and everything! "Shenron, I wish for a real and fully functional Dragon Radar that is bounded to me and can only be used by myself or anyone of my choice with the ability to grant access to it as well as take it away, and if it is possible I want to be able to summon it to my hand." There was silence for a few seconds whilst you waited to see if it would be possible. Shenron's eyes glowed brighter once the wish was processed.
"Your wish is has been granted. Farewell."
An orb of light appears in front of you, from the orb came the dragon Radar. You caught it in your right hand and clicked the button on the top, and it works. "Nice." You look up to see the dragon balls float up into the air before shooting off to where you assume is in random parts of the house. "It definitely would have sucked to try and find them without the Radar.." You say as you pocket the Radar and glance out the kitchen window, it was dark now and you should probably find something eat but before that the bathroom was the top priority.
A bathroom break followed by some good pizza, delivered obviously, and you were feeling pretty good. Tired but good.
"Status." You try again and this time it works.
[Level: 25
Skills: Basic jump, Basic Run-]
The 'Skills' section was filled with things any regular human could do so it wasn't worth mentioning. The one Skill that stuck out was the locked ability, Ultra Instinct.. however you were too damn tired to really think about much of anything, much less a technique you couldn't use for another ten years. For now you had to rest.
Climbing into your bed was a monumental task but once you were laying on your back it wasn't so bad. "I almost forgot about the gift I had gotten." The rewards from defeating Leo and Ant-ax.
"Open battle rewards."
[Opening..]
[1 potion of recovery.]
"That better work.." You retrieve it from the system and read the other rewards.
[Mythic Item! Rolled up Newspaper, extremely effective at killing ants.]
"...Next."
[Mythic Item! Self Repairing Cloak with hood with environment control. ]
A white cloak floated gently down onto you, definitely one of your favorite rewards. "My next wish is going to be to bind it to myself. Wasted wish be damned." You confirm without a second thought. "I should drink the potion before I pass out." You said, turning over onto your side and summoning the potion.
[Ailment cured! Full recovery in 24 hours, recommended rest of 12 hours minimum.]
You had drank half the bottle before that notification popped up. "Good, this thing taste like piss." You vanish it back to your inventory with a thought.
[Time until next encounter: 48 hours.]
You were uncertain about what your future would hold but with the dragon balls you had little to be concerned about, be it in a year or several, it mattered not, you would be stronger than anyone in this world or you would die trying.
