c1 Soul Transmigrated Into An Ancient Saiyan Cub
What is it like to wake up and find that your soul has passed into the body of a Saiyan cub, floating inside a nutrient incubation pod on Planet Vegeta?
Su Ke said that he was very calm everything was expected.
Fate had caused him to travel through time and space, so of course he thought he would be granted an awesome system or cheat.
Otherwise, how could he hope to survive in the Dragon Ball world of high-level warriors, where Vegeta once bragged about Saiyans shattering worlds with a single attack, and where Frieza casually destroyed Planet Vegeta with one fingertip?
Su Ke waited calmly for three minutes, yet no mechanical voice echoed inside his mind.
Keep calm.
Perhaps destiny simply forgot to add a system in a hurry!
There was no system, but no need to panic being born a Saiyan was already a cheat in itself. Maybe he would even be reborn as Son Goku (Kakarot) before his space pod launched toward Earth, or Vegeta, the proud prince of all Saiyans!
Even if he wasn't, being any Saiyan already placed him ahead of most transmigrators. He shouldn't be greedy. Right now, surviving and quietly becoming stronger in the Dragon Ball universe was already a great start.
There were so many Saiyans alive, meaning Planet Vegeta had not yet perished to Frieza's genocide. The timeline was still very early, and he himself was still a newborn cub.
Become stronger begin with Planet Vegeta…
Thinking of this, Su Ke closed his eyes, carefully reviewing the entire Dragon Ball plot, from Goku's innocent childhood adventures chasing Dragon Balls with Bulma, to the battles against Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu, and finally the gods of Dragon Ball Super.
He didn't forget even the smallest characters, from Yajirobe saving the day with his sword against Vegeta, to Mr. Satan deceiving the world while secretly helping against Buu.
Damn, it's no big deal if there's no system! Who hasn't watched Dragon Ball countless times?
Familiarity with the storyline was a golden finger in itself.
The path to strength was clear.
Once he grew older, he could escape to Earth, find Bulma, and obtain the Dragon Radar. Karin-sama's Senzu Beans were also a must-have for survival.
As for Korin's Ultra Divine Water forget it, that thing nearly killed Goku, better not touch such trash.
After gathering Earth's Dragon Balls and summoning Shenron, the next step was to travel to Namek. There, the Grand Elder could unlock his latent potential, and Porunga's three wishes would be far more flexible.
One wish could even be used to find Whis and beg him for training. If Whis refused? Then tempt him with food, just as Beerus was always lured by Earth's gourmet delicacies.
It was completely possible to become strong without a system!
Thinking, thinking… Su Ke drifted into sleep.
"Wait, what if I'm in Universe 6 instead?"
He jolted awake in panic, before calming down again as his eyes landed on his furry brown tail.
No worries. Universe 6 Saiyans like Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale didn't have tails—this was definitely Universe 7!
Thus, Su Ke waited peacefully until the day came when the nutrient solution drained and his pod finally opened.
With his tiny bare body, he eagerly leaned toward the transparent hatch to check his reflection.
A strange face stared back at him.
No crab-shaped head like Dodoria. No receding hairline like Nappa. Just chubby arms, stubby legs, and a round little face full of baby fat.
Cute, unexpectedly cute for a Saiyan cub!
Su Ke, who had mentally vaccinated himself early, said that it was acceptable. He didn't need to be the center of the story like Son Goku or Vegeta; supporting roles could also shine.
He could be their master, friend, or even sworn brother…
The next moment, he began searching among the countless incubation pods, looking for traces of Prince Vegeta or the infant Kakarot. But the tour quickly ended in disappointment.
No…
As the noble heir of King Vegeta III, Vegeta IV would never be placed among commoners in the incubation room!
And as for Kakarot, he was younger than Vegeta maybe he hadn't even been born yet!
"Now, the most important thing is to get out and find out exactly what year Planet Vegeta is in its history…" Su Ke muttered while crawling toward the gate with difficulty.
Damn it, was it because of his tiny infant body, or the harsh tenfold gravity of Planet Vegeta? Either way, every step was a struggle.
Before Su Ke could crawl more than two meters, a gentle voice came from behind him:
"Another cub is awake? Don't crawl around wait a moment, I'll take you to the nursery!"
Su Ke suddenly felt himself being lifted up. He looked up and met the wrinkled face of an old Saiyan, and instinctively asked, "Eh? Who are you supposed to be…?"
"Haha, full of energy already? I'm Elder Xingchang," the old man chuckled, his deep-set folds wrinkling like chrysanthemums. He carried Su Ke effortlessly, glanced at the incubation pod's label, and read aloud.
"Charlotte bloodline, fifth generation, infant name Su Ke… not bad at all!"
Su Ke rolled his eyes inwardly. Charlotte? Never heard of it! The strongest lineage I know here is Bardock's line! That's the true legend one man holding the line against Frieza's army!
"One man defends the gate, and ten thousand cannot break through!"
Elder Xingchang stroked his chin with one hand while holding the baby with the other. "Born during King Vegeta's reign, record date: 733 of the Galactic Calendar. Hm, your incubation period was very short barely half a year!"
Su Ke's eyes widened in shock. He quickly calculated in his head.
Wait. Planet Vegeta is still thriving. King Vegeta still rules. Frieza hasn't destroyed anything yet. That means… the timeline is decades before Goku's birth!
Not a few years early… but far, far earlier than he expected!
Su Ke stretched out his stubby arms in despair, trying to hug his own tiny head. He couldn't believe what he'd just heard.
This was truly too early.
Su Ke almost broke down and wailed.
One moment he thought his knowledge of Dragon Ball would be his golden cheat now the familiar plot points were completely useless! Could he really survive long enough to see Frieza's betrayal, Goku's rise, or even the Tournament of Power?
Not in ten years, not in a hundred years… but generations away!
He wanted to howl at the sky!
