“Damn it!” Inside his rented apartment, Lin Xiu stared at the puddle of cola spreading across his computer desk, his expression turning ugly.

As a veteran Dragon Ball fan, his daily routine after work was simple.

He would order a cheap combo meal, sit in front of his computer, and rewatch classic scenes from the series.Full novel: Dragon Ball: Awakening the Twelve Talismans at the Start! — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Tonight, he had just reached the legendary moment in Dragon Ball GT where Goku transformed into Super Saiyan 4 and completely overwhelmed Baby Vegeta.

Now the entire mood had been ruined by the cola that came free with the meal set.

“Damn it, I just watched Baby get blown away…” Lin Xiu cursed while hurriedly straightening the overturned cola bottle, completely unaware that the cheap power strip beneath his desk, overloaded with plugs from his computer, monitor, and phone charger, had already been flooded by the dripping soda.

The cola slowly flowed down the corner of the table and seeped directly into the sockets.

“Zzzzt…

crack!!” A violent electric current instantly surged through his entire body.

Lin Xiu’s eyes widened violently.

His body stiffened.

In the final moment before his consciousness faded into darkness, the last thought in his mind was: “My food…

I haven’t even finished eating yet…” Planet Vegeta, Area A, residence district for low-class Saiyan warriors.

Inside a modest Saiyan home, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Chen Xiu, or rather, Kashu as he was now called, sat quietly in the corner of the room.

He had transmigrated.

It had taken him an entire year to finally accept this ridiculous reality.

One moment he had been an exhausted office worker on Earth, and the next he had become a Saiyan infant with a tail.

And the worst part was that he knew exactly where this place was.

Planet Vegeta.

The doomed homeworld that Frieza would soon destroy.

“Taro, are you certain about this?” A deep voice suddenly sounded from outside.

The door slid open as a man and woman walked into the room.

The man had messy black hair, a fierce expression, and a cross-shaped scar on his cheek.

The woman possessed gentle black hair, though the determination in her eyes clearly marked her as a Saiyan warrior.

Bardock and Gine.

“Bardock.” Kashu’s father, Taro, slowly stood up and glanced toward his wife before speaking.

“I’ve already decided.

Frieza suddenly recalling all Saiyans back to Planet Vegeta is suspicious no matter how you look at it.

I have a terrible feeling about this.” Bardock’s face darkened.

As comrades who had fought together through countless battles, the two Saiyans trusted each other’s instincts completely.

“Same here.” Bardock lowered his voice.

“Frieza has been asking around about the legend of the Super Saiyan lately.

He’s afraid.” His fists tightened unconsciously.

“I just came back from the front lines, and I can feel it…

the Saiyans may be finished.” Gine quietly walked over to the incubation pod nearby and gently looked at the infant inside.

Kakarot.

“So we’ve decided to send Kakarot away.” Her voice trembled slightly from reluctance.

“We secretly stole a small long-distance attack pod.

The coordinates have already been set to a remote planet called Earth.” Taro turned his gaze toward Kashu, who had remained unusually silent in the corner the entire time.

A trace of determination flashed through his eyes.

“King Vegeta has always been dissatisfied with Kashu’s slow growth in battle power.

He originally planned to exile him to some worthless low-level planet anyway.” Taro sneered coldly.

“Since that’s the case, we may as well choose his destination ourselves.” He looked directly at Bardock.

“Bardock, my brother…

can we share the pod?” Bardock was stunned for a moment before letting out a helpless laugh.

“I knew you were going to say that.

But the pod is too small…” “It’ll work if they squeeze together!” Taro interrupted immediately.

“Kashu is already three years old and far more sensible than normal children.

If the two boys stay together, at least they’ll have someone to rely on!” “But…” Gine hesitated slightly.

“Listen to me, Gine.” After remaining silent for a few seconds, Bardock placed his hand on her shoulder.

“Taro’s right.

One more companion means one more chance to survive.” He lifted his head and looked at Taro.

The eyes of both Saiyans carried the resolve of men prepared to die.

“There isn’t much time left.

The patrol shift changes soon.

We move now!” The barren wasteland outside Planet Vegeta’s launch area was silent and desolate.

Two pairs of parents stood beside a small attack pod.

Two children were about to leave forever.

Kashu was held tightly in his mother’s arms while tears continuously fell onto his face.

“Kashu…

my son…

you must survive…

you absolutely must…” Taro forcefully patted Kashu on the back, his voice rough and hoarse.

“You’re older than Kakarot by one year.

Take care of him!

Live like a true Saiyan warrior!” Nearby, Gine was also crying softly while speaking to the infant Kakarot.

Only Bardock remained relatively calm.

He slowly walked over and gently placed his hand on both children’s heads.

Kashu raised his head.

Behind those clear infant eyes was the soul of an adult.

He quietly took one last look at Bardock before turning toward his parents in this life.

“Goodbye, Bardock.

Goodbye…

Mom and Dad.” “Hurry!

Put them inside the pod!” The two children were quickly placed into the cramped spherical spaceship.

Three-year-old Kashu.

Two-year-old Kakarot.

“Boom!” The hatch sealed shut.

“Coordinates locked: Earth.

Launching!” The attack pod trembled lightly before slowly rising into the air.

Then, with a sudden roar, it transformed into a streak of light and vanished into Planet Vegeta’s dark crimson sky.

Gine could no longer hold back her emotions and collapsed into Bardock’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Taro and his wife also embraced tightly while staring silently at the disappearing light in the distance.

“This way…

they should survive.” Taro muttered quietly.

“Yeah.” Bardock slowly looked toward outer orbit.

There, an enormous spaceship radiating overwhelming oppression was gradually descending toward Planet Vegeta.

“Frieza has arrived.” Bardock untied the red armband around his forehead before tightening it firmly around his arm.

“Then…” Taro cracked his neck loudly.

“Let’s fight one final battle right here and show that bastard the pride of the Saiyan race!” Bardock grinned fiercely.

“Exactly what I was thinking!” Deep within space, the attack pod continued flying toward Earth on autopilot.

“Waaah!

Waaah!!” Inside the cramped cabin, Kakarot’s crying echoed nonstop.

Kashu felt his head beginning to hurt from the noise.

“Stop crying already!

If you keep crying like this, wild beasts are going to eat us the moment we land on Earth!” Using his tiny infant body, he awkwardly tried covering Kakarot’s mouth.

Unfortunately, his arms were far too short.

“So annoying…” Kashu grumbled irritably.

At that moment, he noticed a nutrient solution package inside the pod’s automatic feeding device.

Unfortunately, the package had become stuck halfway through the dispenser.

“Come out already!” Kashu shouted inwardly while instinctively stretching out his hand.

And at that exact moment, something unbelievable happened.

The stuck nutrient package suddenly trembled.

As though grabbed by an invisible force, it slowly floated upward before wobbling through the air toward Kashu.

“…Huh?” Kashu froze completely.

He stared blankly at his tiny infant hand before looking back at the floating nutrient solution.

“This…

this is…” He cautiously tested it again.

“Move over there.” The nutrient package immediately floated toward Kakarot.

“Come back.” It instantly floated back again.

“Holy crap!” Kashu nearly screamed in excitement.

“Telekinesis?!

My cheat ability is telekinesis?!” He was instantly overjoyed.

In the dangerous world of Dragon Ball, any supernatural ability could become a lifesaving trump card.

What Kashu did not know was that the power awakening inside him was actually the ability of the [Rooster Talisman], the power of levitation and telekinesis engraved deep within his soul.

“Waaah!

Waaah!!” Kakarot continued crying loudly.

“Alright, alright, stop already!” Kashu controlled the nutrient solution with telekinesis and skillfully stuffed it into Kakarot’s mouth.

Finally, the cabin became quiet.

Kashu let out a long sigh of relief before turning toward the stars rapidly passing outside the pod’s window.

Then he looked at the little boy beside him.

The child who would one day become Son Goku.

“So I started out sharing a spaceship with Goku, and my cheat ability is telekinesis…” Thoughts rapidly flashed through his mind.

Bulma.

Android 18.

The World Martial Arts Tournament.

Frieza.

Cell.

Majin Buu.

Gods of Destruction.

“In this life…” Kashu clenched his tiny fist tightly.

“I, Lin Xiu, will absolutely live without regrets!” Several months later, on Earth at Mount Paozu, an old martial artist wearing a traditional training uniform searched through the dense bamboo forest for medicinal herbs and wild game.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed across the mountains.

“Boom!!” A blazing fireball tore through the sky before crashing beside a mountain stream not far away, sending dirt, rocks, and water flying everywhere.

“Ouch!

What in the world was that?

Some kind of monster?” The old man tightened his grip on the wooden staff in his hand.

Despite his age, his movements were steady and fearless as he quickly rushed toward the crash site.
