=======================================================
Well, I'm dying, plain and simple: a 26-year-old man dying in a dirty alleyway for confronting a piece of scum. But how is this happening?
I took two shots after resisting a robbery while a guy came to steal from me unarmed. A friend of his was watching from afar, out of my field of vision. So, while I resisted the robbery and beat the guy who came at me with nothing in his hands until he was unconscious, the other one shot me twice in the back before I kicked his friend's head on the ground, which leads me to the current situation, where I'm bleeding out on the dirty floor of a nasty alley that's a shortcut to my house, which is falling apart after I lost my shitty office job and my girlfriend. I lost her too, she traded me for my ex-boss, that damned bitch.
All this in less than two months, where I'm getting by with the rest of the saved money I had while looking for another job.
Did I resist wanting something to happen to me or to prevent him from taking the little that I have left, which was my cell phone and some change in my pocket...? I don't know.
I only know that, while I was beating that thief, I felt good like never before. The adrenaline, the boiling blood, my heart beating fast and loud, the sound of my fist hitting his nose, even the pain of the shot was fun, damn it, it was better than sex, but it's a shame I only found that out when I'm already dying. I should have done martial arts when I was younger, just like my father wanted when he was alive.
'...Damn it' cough 'It's getting so cold... I can't breathe.'
I think as I raise my bloody and trembling hand, trying to punch the unconscious guy one more time: 'Shit, shit, I want to fight more.'
But I have no more strength. My trembling hand falls to the side, and my vision darkens with no time for last words, just darkness.
=======================================================
After the cold and empty feeling of death and the desperation to keep fighting, hitting, and smashing someone, I can't feel anything anymore, but I know I can move, so I do. I open my "eyes," but I see nothing, there's no light, just emptiness, emptier than the head of a League of Legends player or, worse, a Genshin player.
...why am I making jokes, I just died, shouldn't I have panicked before dying, I was definitely very pissed off at dying right after my great discovery.
I look at my own body and see that it's translucent, so I'm just a soul or something, so I don't have a brain... How am I thinking then? Very confusing, I'll just say that a normal soul wouldn't produce hormones for anger, but that doesn't make sense either. Is something forcibly calming me down?
I spend some time trying to float around without a clear path, and it's like walking in a completely dark and endless room.
But suddenly, after who knows how long, as if it were an illusion forming in front of me, a document appears, a kind of contract. So I read it:
Hello, my dear child, Your soul has arrived here after your death. Where is here, you ask? Well, it's the void; you've already noticed that by looking around. If you're not an imbecile, which I believe you are not. Here is a kind of limbo where especially lucky souls are selected to reincarnate, but, of course, only if you accept. The world you're going to has already been decided, as has the race, but you'll have the right to spin a roulette wheel where you'll decide what you'll gain. It could be a weapon, a skill, or even a race change. If you wish to sign this contract, the only thing I ask in return is that you do whatever you want, good or bad, just do it, don't be a coward who will hide and let the world follow its original path. Here is the information about the universe and your race. UNIVERSE: Dragon Ball (including the movies) RACE: Saiyan sign:_________________________________________________ Take as long as you need to decide.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA AMAZING
'Damn, having the chance to reincarnate in Dragon Ball, how awesome! I apparently REALLY like to fight; what a perfect opportunity, hahaha.'
'But... how do I sign? There's no pen here or blood in my body for me to use as ink.'
As soon as I finish thinking that, a feather appears in front of me. I use it instantly and sign. Right after signing, a huge roulette wheel appears in front of me with thousands of names of skills, techniques, and infinite other things. Okay, let's see what I get.
While the roulette wheel spins, very rarely I can see some things. I managed to see basic skills, like cooking, cleaning, gardening, fishing, among others, even OP skills, like Saitama's limit breaker, but the roulette wheel didn't stop, going through infinite things. It took a long time, and I sat here waiting for hours. I even tried to stop the roulette wheel with my hand, but my hand passed through it as if it were just a figment of my imagination. So I went back to waiting.
=======================================================
I don't know how much time has passed, but it's been more than a few days, at least. Somehow, I can sleep here even without a real body, so it wasn't that bad; at least I wasn't bored for days. But when I looked at the roulette wheel again, it had stopped. It read: race fusion 'Viltrumite.'
I was as excited as anyone else would be in a situation like this, with the fusion of two races (oops, both getting stronger after tough fights). How strong will cells mixed with smart atoms be? Then I looked at the description of the skill that appeared in front of me.
Upon reaching the age of 16, your Viltrumite lineage will awaken, thus gaining the powers of this species and merging with your original species.
'So I won't start 100% OP, perfect :) I hope to have very exciting fights until I have all my powers.'
'So I'm going to be the fusion of two extremely powerful warrior races. HAHAHAHAHAHA, this is going to be fun.'
Everything went black again when the roulette wheel suddenly disappeared. In the place where the roulette wheel was before, a nearly glowing white door appeared. I knew instinctively that when I went through it, I would be reborn. So, metaphorically, I took a deep breath, reached for the doorknob, and entered the door, eager for the battles I wish to have in my new life as a powerful being.
