"Twenty-five years!! A full twenty-five years!!"
He had waited too long. The emotions he had forced down surged up; his eyes went red. For a moment he was like a drowning man who had finally found a floating plank—tears spilling simply from excitement.
He had once thought there might never be a day like this. Even though he had awakened the strength that belongs to a Saiyan, the System had never responded on that planet. Now he finally knew: the activation condition was arrival on Earth.
He had once dreamed of discovering that earlier.
When he was two years old, he received the Saiyan-like "cultural memory transmission," and then was sent to a surveyed low-level planet to invade.
If your power level was under a hundred, you would only be transmitted to planets with extremely low danger to invade.
So back then Logan had no resistance in his heart, and no thought of stopping it.
On the contrary, after leaving Planet Vegeta, it would be like birds in the high sky, fish in the wide sea—free to soar and swim.
Who could have known that just a few years later, because of a single sentence from the God of Destruction Beerus, Frieza would wipe out Planet Vegeta and the Saiyan race?
If you want to live, you have to think more for yourself! You have to keep a low profile!
Best of all would be leaving no trace for anyone to find you, even being taken as already dead.
…
At first he didn't even know Earth existed—only after he got older did he slowly piece that together. But the universe ship he rode back then had already locked onto its mission destination. It would not allow a change to Earth.
Back then he had no way to touch Earth.
In the end, all he could do was let the ship continue along its flight path. He went into hibernation inside the pod.
Interstellar travel is monotonous and long. To keep the body stable and make the time pass faster, living beings choose hibernation. Close your eyes once, and you can wake up at your destination.
…
And that was the beginning of a life of suffering that lasted more than twenty years.
When he finally reached the planet he had been sent to invade, he discovered it was nothing like the clan's data from years ago.
The entire planet had suffered a mass extinction due to a meteor strike. For years the sky was covered with smog and volcanic ash, bringing about an ice age…
His arrival dropped him straight into a life like hell.
Fortunately, he was a Saiyan, not some powerless lower species.
Even as a child, relying on the compressed basic food rations stored in the pod, he could barely ensure short-term survival, and on that basis slowly adapt and find a hope of continuing to live.
You might say: since he had reached the target planet, couldn't the ship then fly on to another planet?
Yes—in theory!
But the craft he rode was an old-model Frieza Force pod with poor protection. When it entered the atmosphere, heavy dust storms engulfed it; it happened to land at a fixed point in a pitted ice valley. The ship was damaged and could no longer make interstellar flight.
Simply put, he was trapped on the world designated Planet V3114.
Left with no choice, he spent more than twenty years in that harsh environment.
He trained alone. Without daily training, a Saiyan's strength can't increase; natural growth would stall. So even in a world of violent weather and never-ending cold, he kept training day after day…
In that long, desolate period, he grew from a child into a young man. His combat power did indeed rise.
Even so, for a long time he had no hope of leaving Planet V3114.
Until, three months ago, a stroke of fortune fell from the sky.
A Frieza Force pilot came down in a micro-ship. The man's power level was around 5000—enough to dominate a low-grade planet. But he had no idea this world hid a Saiyan.
Logan used the pack-rat stores he had built up over the years to trap and kill that pilot. Once the man died, Logan took his supplies and his ship.
Inside that micro-ship there was a star chart. On it, Logan saw Earth.
He didn't hesitate.
He took the ship and left Planet V3114.
…
It hadn't been easy to kill the pilot. Logan only managed it because he had survived in a brutal environment for years and used everything he knew about training to raise his strength.
Otherwise, killing a Frieza Force soldier really would have been impossible.
With a chance to leave—and with the star chart showing a world labeled Earth—Logan didn't hesitate. He abandoned everything he had stockpiled over the years and departed at once…
In the end, it took three months.
Today, he had finally arrived at Earth, the place where the original story sets sail!
And he had finally completed the System activation mission that had gone unfulfilled for twenty-five years!
