DAY 1
"Wh-what do I do f-for training?" I asked, standing in front of green man -Piccolo was his name- ready to do what he told me to.
"First, do nothing. Live." He told me.
"What!? L-live?" I asked, unsure of how it would be training.
"That's right. Survive here, alone." Piccolo said, his voice gruff. "If you're still alive when I come back in six months… I'll teach you how to fight."
My eyes were wide and I stepped back, "Al-alone for six months at a place like this!?" I stammered, "I-I don't want to, I'll die of loneliness!"
Piccolo just laughed, "You won't be alone. This place is swarming with blood-thirsty beasts."
"Wh-WHAT! Please don't leave me!" I begged, my tail twitching behind me.
"Listen!" Piccolo raised his voice, snapping me back to my original position, "You have no time for this infantile behaviour! Survive for six months and learn how to be tough, physically and mentally!" Piccolo's voice then dropped to his regular tone as he continued, "Don't forget that you hold the key to the Earth's fate. Believe in your power and figure out how to effectively draw out that power."
"B-But, but I…" I tried to argue.
"See ya." Piccolo turned around, only barely facing me, "Oh and by the way? Don't even think about escaping. This place is surrounded by desert. A world of death that makes this place seem like a paradise."
"WAIT!" I yelled, "Where do I get food? And a bath? And a bed?"
Piccolo scoffed, "Do you think those would be prepared for you? Poor little princeling." he mocked.
"B-but that's not fair…" Tears welled up in my eyes.
Piccolo turned back to me, "If you want to feel resentment, curse your own fate as I do." Piccolo said, then flew off.
"WAIIIT!" I ran after him, "I'm scared, don't leave meee!" once I realised I wouldn't catch him i stopped and began to cry.
I made my way to a large rock and climbed on top to sit down, where I continued to cry.
Suddenly I felt tremors in the rock and heard loud footsteps. I stopped crying and opened my eyes, coming face to face with a dinosaur. It was nearly fifty feet tall with short arms and five horns on its head. It's mouth was lined with hundreds of sharp teeth.
My eyes opened wide as it opened its mouth and roared, lunging at me. I turned and ran, screaming the entire time.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I yelled, "H-HELP! ANYONE!" then I felt my foot hit a rock and tripped.
The dinosaur roared and I felt oddly calm. As it snapped its jaws I jumped, easily clearing the dinosaur and landing on a cliff, hundreds of meters up.
I was happy for a moment before I looked around and began to cry again. "I CAN'T GET DOWN! HELP!"
I cried until I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning and felt my stomach rumble, "I'm scared, and hungry. I'm staaarving, I'm gonna die…" I muttered, opening my eyes to see two appleslaying there. I grabbed one immediately and devoured it, nearly gagging at the bitter taste. Then I looked around, there was no apple tree up here… but I shrugged it off.
"I wish I had some dimsum…" I groaned as I curled back up, saving the other apple for the morning.
DAY 2
I woke up, ate my apple, while noticing three more. Then I cried. I looked for a path down the giant spire I was on but found nothing. Then I cried some more. I sat around wishing I could fly, or just jump down and be fine like my dad could. But I couldn't
I looked up, "I wish I could be as strong as my dad." I said to the skies.
I spent the rest of the day crying and complaining to myself. I fell asleep pretty early.
That night I woke up to go pee off the side of the spire, right where I jumped away from the dinosaur. I rubbed my eyes and shivered, it was really cold up here.
I looked around again, hoping to spot somewhere to climb down, "What should I do? I can't get down from here, but if I stay here I'll starve to death…" I sniffled, "Why is this happening to me." then a realisation hit me, "Why is it so bright when it's night?" my home in the mountains was always dark at night.
I turned and saw the moon, "Wow, the moon is so round! I've never seen the full m…" my heart began to beat faster, and faster.
'Blutz Wave' limit reached. Initiating transformation to 'Oozaru' due to age mental functions will be shut down.
That mechanical voice was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.
DAY 3
I woke up in new clothes, and off the spire. I was in an exact copy of my dad's gi. There was also a sword there. I strapped the sword to my back and looked around, "Mr. Piccolo?" he was nowhere to be seen, "HELP!" I shouted.
Help For: Instructions?
[YES] or [NO]
I froze as a blue box appeared in front of my face. I reached out a finger and pressed [YES] and was greeted with an even larger blue box.

Ki Adept: Allows one's Ki Points to raise passed 1. {KP = [10+(Intelligence*5)]}
I blinked then, thinking maybe I was going crazy, rubbed my eyes. It was still there. I saw small addition signs beside the stats and immediately went to Intelligence and pressed it until I couldn't anymore. As I pressed I noticed the Points in the bottom going down. "Mom will be happy with how smart I'm gonna get!"
"So I get points to put into my stats." I said, remembering some of the RPGs that my grandpa would bring me to play, "I guess I need to level up to get more points, and leveling up means I need to… fight?" I gulped. "Skills…"
Skill | Level | Effect
Gamer's Mind [MAX]: Allows The Gamer to think calmly through any situation. Also makes The Gamer immune to psychological attacks or status effects.
Gamer's Body [MAX]: Grants a body that is able to live in the real world like a game.
Observe [Lv 1]: A skill to find the target's information.
I shook my head, "This won't do I have no battle skills." I readied myself and began to walk, intent on finding something to eat.
I walked for forty minutes before I found anything but rocks, there was a large nest of eggs, along with a dinosaur similar to the one that had attacked me a few days ago, only much smaller, a solid fifteen feet as opposed to fifty.
"Observe!" I stated.
Young Wildlands Carnotaurus Lvl5
-Hp: 150 | Kp: 0
A young Carnotaurus. Usually tasked with guarding young while both parents are hunting.
I gulped and drew my sword, I wouldn't be able to beat it head on but maybe I could get a lucky attack, the only issue was I had no idea how to use a sword. Looked around but didn't spot any more dinosaurs. With a gulp I ran forwards, screaming a battlecry. The dinosaur turned around and snapped at me, its head was basically on the ground.
I jumped, plunging my sword down and praying to Kami that it would end the dinosaur. I felt really bad about this, but I needed to eat, because if I didn't survive nothing would.
Critical Hit! 390 damage!
I blinked as I saw the box, then fell over and nearly cried. I had done it, I had taken my first steps to surviving!
Young Wildlands Carnotaurus slain. Gohan will be awarded 1800 Xp
Level Up! Strength, Agility, and Vitality have increased by 3, intelligence and Wisdom have increased by 1.
I grinned and grabbed the dinosaur by its tail, dragging it away, or at least trying to. It was too heavy for my to drag. "Status." I opened my status window and looked at the points I had. Seeing that I had five I grinned and dumped them all in to strength, raising it to 19, and I pulled. It was hard but I could move the dinosaur now at least.
I wiped away the sweat as I sat down on a rock, the dinosaur in front of me. It had taken nearly an hour but I managed to drag it far enough away that I wasn't worried about being attacked by the bigger one. Now my only problem was that I couldn't cook it.
"Help." I said, hoping it would bring up another screen. I grinned when it did. I scrolled down to [Ki Points] and pressed on it, remembering the small ball of energy my dad could make.
[Ki Points]
Ki Points can be used in many ways, including flight, energy blasts, and physical reinforcement. To utilize Ki Points one must first unlock the [Ki Practitioner] feature or any of its higher level features {Ki Adept, Ki Master]}. Someone with the [Ki Adept] feature is able to begin creating their own Ki based skills.
By most martial artists who utilize Ki, it is taught to be a spring of power within one's self, and is first brought out in the shape of a ball in between cupped hands.
I grinned, "This is a pretty awesome power." I sat in the lotus position that I remembered my dad sitting in sometimes and closed my eyes, looking for the spring of power. Instead I found a roaring river. I grabbed as much as I could between my hands and opened my eyes to see a large yellow ball of energy. I grinned and held it in one hand, pointed it towards the dinosaur and let it fly.
{Skill Obtained}
[Ki Blast] [Lv1]
Cost: 5 Kp
-A ball of energy fired from one's hands. Deals (15+(Intelligence/2) damage and has a range of 30 feet. Does an extra 2 damage per level after 1.
For thinking of a skill on your own your Intelligence has gone up by 1.
I grinned. I cut off a large chunk of the dinosaur's tail and threw it into the air, "Ki Blast!" I fired off a ball of energy, cooking the meat instantly.
{Quest Completed!}
[Find Food!]
-Rewards: 500 xp, Cooked Carnotaurus.
Level Up! Strength, Agility, and Vitality have increased by 3. Intelligence and Wisdom have increased by 1.
I smiled as I ate the dinosaur.
DAY 7
A few days had passed since I gained my Gamer ability and I was enjoying doing nothing but eating the dinosaur I had killed. By placing it in my inventory I learned that it wouldn't get rotten. I had also raised my [Ki Blast] skill level by four by mass firing them, whether it be to cook my meat or ward off any hungry looking animals, though I never used it to kill them. I also leveled up my [Observe] skill to level 5, increasing the range and letting me see the current Hp and Kp of my target as well as their defenses. I hadn't leveled up again, nor had I spent any points.
I was sitting on my rock, eating the last bit of dinosaur I had when I heard the growls. I turned around and saw a group of three large dogs. I grabbed my sword and dropped my meat, "Observe!"
Wildlands Black Wolf Lvl3
-Max Hp: 75 | Kp:0
-Current Hp: 75 | Kp: 0
-Armor: 3
Wildlands Black Wolf Lvl5
-Max Hp: 125 | Kp: 0
-Current Hp: 125 | Kp: 0
-Armor: 3
Wildlands Black Wolf Lvl7
-Max Hp: 175 | Kp: 0
-Current Hp: 175 | Kp:0
-Armor: 3
Black Wolves are the weakest of the wolves that inhabit the Wildlands, but they are also the most numerous. Beware their [Pack Tactics] feature, an ability that increases their damage while other members of their pack are fighting the same target.
I spun my sword, these guys had been prowling around just outside of my [Observe] range, with the smallest one coming in to range only once, which was how I found them. I guess they were waiting to see if I was alone.
"Bring it on!" I shouted. The smallest ran at me first, jumping at me with a bite. I ducked and slashed its front leg, bringing it's Hp down to nearly half with one strike. I rolled just as the medium sized wolf swiped at me with its claws, nearly ripping my shirt. I noticed my health drop over 1/10th of my maximum. I grit my teeth and swung as hard as I could at the wolf's snout.
{Skill Obtained!}
[Power Strike] [Lv 1]
Cost: 20 Kp
By channeling ki into a strike you increase your damage.
-Increase Critical Rate 15%
-Increase Attack Power 50%
I watched the wolf's Hp drop 55 after the single attack and grinned, jumping into the air just as the small and large wolf would have both slashed at me with their claws. In the air I gathered ki in my free hand and threw a [Ki Blast] at the smallest wolf, intent on taking it out. I put more than the required ki into the ball and it doubled in size, taking ten times as much ki as a regular [Ki blast].
{Skill Obtained!}
[Ki Bomb] [Lv1]
Cost: 50 Kp
-A gigantic [Ki Blast]
-Damage + [Ki Blast]*2
The bomb managed to hit all three wolves, killing both the medium and smallest wolf while leaving the largest at over 100 hit points. I landed and raised my sword to block a claw, but was knocked down by the hit. My sword clattered out of my hand as I slammed down hard on my back. I rolled out of the way as another claw attack nearly ripped my face open, but was caught by a bite on my back, taking nearly half of my health.
"I can't die here!" I shouted, gathering energy for a [Ki Blast] and firing it at the wolf's front legs, dealing a fair amount of damage and forcing the beast to let go of me. I jumped back and grabbed my sword while peeking at my health.
[Hp: 38/105]
[Kp: 60/135]
My eyes widened, that bite had done 55 damage! I readied myself to use up most of my remaining Kp. The wolf still had 68 Hp so I couldn't fool around, and if I ran I would lose my rock. I circled around the wolf, waiting for it to move. It just followed me, ready to pounce the entire time.
I charged up a [Ki Blast] and let it lose. Another 5 Ki Points, but hopefully another 35.5 damage. The wolf pounced right before the blast hit it, dodging the attack.
"Power Strike!" I yelled, jumping under the wolf while channeling ki into my sword. It cleaved through the wolf's stomach, leaving a deep gash. I rolled up and looked at the wolf, it was at 13 Hp and clearly going to die from its wound. I raised a hand, "Ki Blast!" the blast finished off the wolf, who instead of dying like the others seemed to vanish, leaving behind a wad of cash and a necklace with a wolf head charm on it.
Wildlands Black Wolf X3 Slain. Gohan will be awarded 1500 xp!
Wolf Prince Pendant [Rare Item]
-Grants wearer +3 Strength and Agility
-Grants wearer skill [Intimidate]
I grinned and slipped the necklace on.
{Skill Obtained!}
[Intimidation] [Lv1]
Passive
-Beasts of equal or lower level who do not align themselves with anyone of a higher level than you are 20% less likely to attack you unprovoked.
Active [Costs 15 Kp]
-30% chance to cause fear in any enemy of lower level.
I looked up to the sky, "Dad, Mr. Piccolo, I'll survive and I'll save the planet, just you watch!"
Day 10
Up until now I haven't been doing much. I killed some wild animals to eat but nothing really happened until I reached level 7 yesterday, that's when an ability called [Instant Dungeon: Create] appeared. According to the description it created a dungeon around the area I was in. The dungeon could have one of two monsters in it currently, Zombies or Ghosts. I wasn't really looking forward to facing either of them but I figured it might be a good way to level up.
But before I did that I wanted to find another Carnotaurus. They had good tasting meat and I was running out of wolf meat. There was another animal that came called a Wildlands Dire Hog but it tasted really bad so I finished it off quickly. I headed in the direction of the Carnotaurus nest that I had killed the first one at.
It took me about forty minutes again. I saw a couple of weak animals that gave me a wide berth. [Intimidate] was a useful skill but I might have to deactivate it for a while next time I go hunting.
When I reached the nest I gasped. There was a fifty-five foot Carnotaurus with pitch black scales. "Observe." I whispered.
Wildlands Carnotaurus [Lv15]
-King of the Wildlands-
-Max Hp: 1000 | Kp: 500
The 'King of the Wildlands' as he is known around these parts, is a gigantic Carnotaurus that was experimented upon by the evil Red Ribbon Army many years ago. He watches after young Carnotauruses because he believes one day they will lead him to a proper challenge.
"This isn't good." I said quietly, backing away only to bump into something big. I looked up and saw a twenty-five foot Carnotaurus, which roared at me, getting the attention of the King. I ran.
{Skill Obtained}
[Ki Reinforcement] [Lv1]
Cost: 1.5 Kp per second.
-Doubles Strength and Agility while activated.
-Doubles the power of any Ki based skills while activated.
I turned back and saw the King running after me, and gaining pretty quickly. "Ki Reinforcement!" I screamed. A white aura expanded around me as I rocketed forwards. I looked back and saw that the King was nothing but a speck in the distance. Looking around me, I realised that I had no idea where I was.
"Great going Gohan." I muttered, looking around at the jungle that surrounded me. I saw a strange arch of trees and walked forwards, stepping under it I blinked and saw a red message box.
Welcome to the Natural Dungeon, {Prehistoric Wildlands} [Recommended lvl: 10]

"Wonderful." I readied my sword as a quest popped up.
{NEW QUEST}
[My First Dungeon!]
-Complete the dungeon
-Reward: High Tier Loot, 7000 Xp

I gulped, I was three levels lower than the recommended level for this dungeon and if I fail I'm gonna die… great. "Status." I said.

Ki Adept: Allows one's Ki Points to raise passed 1. (KP = [10+(Intelligence*5)])
"I'll try and save my points for when I need them, though Intelligence is probably a good idea, but so is strength." I began thinking when I noticed something, it was like a four foot tall chicken.
Wildlands Velociraptor [Lv 8]
-Max Hp: 175 | Kp: 15
-Armor: 5
An ancient creature, one of the species that were wiped out for annoying a certain powerful entity. A pack hunter who uses its vicious claws to hit weak points in an enemy.
"Great, it's probably got that [Pack Tactics] feature that the wolves had, and my Ki isn't recharged yet." I pulled out my sword and slashed at the dinosaur before it noticed me, taking a decent chunk of its Hp, my sneak attack dealing double damage. It was now at 99/175 Hp. I grinned, slashing again and taking off one of its wings, though its retaliatory talon slash took out a decent chunk of my health. This thing's foot claw was as powerful at the large wolf's bite!
I didn't back off however, and stabbed my sword into it quickly, hitting a vital spot and killing the dinosaur. I pulled my sword out and watched the velociraptor vanished, leaving behind a dagger, a wad of cash, and a scroll. I picked up the cash, putting it into my inventory. The dagger and scroll I used [Observe] on.
Veloci-talon [Common]
-Sneak attacks with this weapon deal *8 damage.
-Damage = 13+Agility-Enemy Armor
-Technique Scroll: Masenko [Rare]
I grinned, picking up the dagger and tying it to my hip. As I grabbed the scroll a message appeared.
{Would you like to learn the Skill: Masenko?}
[YES] or [No]
Note: Learning the skill will destroy the scroll.
My eyes widened as I pressed the [YES] button.
{Skill Learned}
[Masenko][Lv1]
Cost: 25Kp
-A beam of ki fired from two hands.
-Damage = 30 + Intelligence
"A special move of my own, just like Dad's Kamehameha." I smiled widely, "I'm coming for you dungeon boss!" I continued on, barely noticing the 2000xp I got.
I came across a pack of three velociraptors, each the same level as the previous one I fought. My Ki and Hp had both gone back up due to the time passing and I was ready for this. I snuck around, noticing I got a new skill in the process, it allowed me to sneak better, and my sneak attacks did an extra 0.5 damage per level. I snuck around and pulled out my dagger, quickly lashing out at one of the velociraptors, killing it instantly. I threw the dagger into another one before I was noticed, dropping it as well. I pulled out my sword and ran at the last one, my [Power Strike] had gone up to level 3, meaning that it did 150% extra weapon damage and had a 19% chance for a critical. I slashed at the last raptor, dealing 102.5 damage. With my free hand I fired off a [Ki Blast] that sent the dino flying back. It was on its last 28 Hp and I didn't want it to call any allies, so I fired off another blast, ending the dinosaur.
Wildlands Velociraptor X3 slain. Gohan will obtain 6000 xp.
Level Up! Strength, Agility, and Vitality have increased by 3. Intelligence and Wisdom have increased by 1.
And that's where I'll be leaving it for the first chapter! I hope you all enjoy it. I've noticed a lack of DBZ Gamer fics, and all the ones I can find are OC centric so I thought I'd write one about Gohan. Feel free to leave any questions or gripes, it's my first time doing a Gamer fic so any help would be super appreciated.
