"Ding! The sign-in system has been activated! Welcome, host, to the Dragon Ball universe."
"Please choose your new identity in the Dragon Ball world…"
[Option 1: East Supreme Kai, Shin!]
[Option 2: Baby, the Tuffle parasite!]
[Option 3: The Demon King Dabura!]
[Option 4: Super Saiyan 4!]
…
In a daze, the electronically synthesized voice kept echoing inside my mind.
"Hiss..."
Linze let out a long groan, then slowly opened his eyes.
"What's going on with that voice just now?"
Rubbing his aching head, Linze felt disoriented. The voice hadn't come from outside, it echoed in his consciousness. Yet, nothing like this had ever happened to him before.
He remembered staying up late the night before playing Dragon Ball Fighting, grinding to collect enough fragments to exchange for the coveted Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku card that was being offered at 5:00 AM.
It had just hit five o'clock when an intense pain had pierced through his skull then, everything went black.
"Ding! Welcome, host, to the Dragon Ball world."
"Please choose your new identity in the Dragon Ball universe…"
[Option 1: East Supreme Kai, Shin!]
[Option 2: Baby, the Tuffle parasite!]
…
That same synthesized voice echoed again.
Linze jolted up, stunned.
"Wh…What? Did I just transmigrate?"
That was the first thought that popped into his mind.
After all… he had read enough Feilu-style transmigration novels to know the trope.
This kind of cliché scenario had long become common.
"Wait… Did I die from staying up all night? No way, damn it!"
His emotions were mixed, Dragon Ball was his favorite series ever since he was a kid. The thought of entering its universe was both thrilling and bittersweet.
But… he had just left his old life behind.
Slap!
Linze smacked himself square in the cheek. (Read more @ wuxiax.com)
"Ah! That hurt…"
"Guess this isn't a dream, huh?"
And then, the electronic voice chimed again.
…
"Please select your identity within one minute. Failure to do so will result in defaulting to an ordinary Earthling identity in the Dragon Ball world."
This time, a new clause had been added.
"I choose Super Saiyan 4."
Still bewildered, Linze went with the most visually and powerfully appealing choice: Super Saiyan 4.
Sure, Shin (the East Supreme Kai), Baby (the villain who took over Vegeta), and Dabura (the Demon King from the Majin Buu saga) were all formidable, but none of them compared to the raw style and might of Super Saiyan 4.
More importantly Super Saiyan 4 was undeniably the coolest form ever created.
Power comes and goes but being cool is forever.
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully selected the Super Saiyan 4 transformation and physique."
"Additional bonuses unlocked: Ki Control, Flight Technique, x10 Kamehameha Wave…"
The system's voice sounded again.
Immediately, Linze felt a rush of overwhelming strength coursing through him.
A boundless energy surged within his whole body felt like it could erupt with power at any second.
"Damn… I really became Super Saiyan 4…"
"You've got to be kidding!"
He jumped to his feet. In front of him was a reflective glass panel clear enough to show his current appearance.
He had long, wild black hair cascading over his shoulders, scarlet irises with golden pupils, and an intense, almost predatory gleam in his eyes.
His entire body was covered in crimson fur, and behind him, a thick red tail emitting an aura of vitality swayed with fluid precision.
He bore an unmistakable resemblance to Son Goku's Super Saiyan 4 form from Dragon Ball GT, especially the primal features, the red fur, and the distinct yellow eye color. However, there were subtle differences—his facial features were more refined, and his aura flickered with a unique black-red lightning hue, a sign that this might be an evolved variant of the form.
After a single blink, the glass panel in front of him suddenly cracked with a loud pop shattered by sheer pressure from his presence? Or maybe just his sheer handsomeness???
"I… really turned into Super Saiyan Four?"
Linze swallowed hard, his voice low and filled with awe.
…
It took him nearly an hour and a half before he fully emerged from the overwhelming shock.
Only then did he truly come to terms with it.
He had really died from staying up late playing Dragon Ball Fighting, and now he was reborn in the Dragon Ball universe he had admired since childhood… and what's more, he had started out with Super Saiyan IV—one of the most powerful forms known to Saiyan-kind!
He had also come to accept it: since he had been reborn, there was no going back. Even if he had regrets, his past life was over.
This was a new beginning, a chance to live without limits!
"I wonder… what point in the Dragon Ball timeline am I in?"
Linze muttered as he looked around.
Still, regardless of when or where he had landed, he now possessed the power of Super Saiyan IV, a form Goku had to achieve through intense training, the use of Blutz Waves, and his golden Ozaru transformation.
At any point in the timeline, this power was far from weak.
He could absolutely survive in this world… and perhaps even dominate.
"Does the host wish to sign in on the first day?"
Right at that moment, the synthesized voice of the system rang out once more.
"Sign in…"
Now that he had accepted his reality, Linze didn't hesitate to respond mentally.
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully signed in for Day 1 and obtained: Unlimited Instant Transmission and Tenfold Training Speed!"
The system's electronic voice echoed crisply.
Upon hearing the reward, Linze was once again stunned by excitement.
Unlimited Instant Transmission wasn't just a teleportation technique, it was the same ability Goku had learned from the Yardrats in the Z manga, allowing him to lock onto ki signatures across vast distances. With no restrictions, he could appear anywhere Earth, Namek, or even the gods' realms.
But what truly thrilled him was the Tenfold Training Speed.
That ability alone was a game changer.
With ten times the training efficiency, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he pushed past the limits of Super Saiyan IV and reached an even higher tier, like Super Full Power Saiyan 4, or maybe… something entirely new.
