Saiyan System (English)

The sound of gunfire echoed across the battlefield.

Zaiko ran through the rubble, his heart hammering in his chest as explosions tore up the ground around him. The sky was tinged with red, illuminated by the incessant glare of war. He could smell blood and gunpowder in the air, the dust mixing with the sweat on his face.

His country was in ruins.

For as long as he could remember, Zaiko had known only war. Soldiers marching, cities burning, families being mercilessly destroyed. His parents... He felt his chest tighten. His mother, always kind, would tell him stories to try to distract him from the brutality of the world. His father, a warrior who did everything to protect his family, even though he knew it was a losing fight.

And now they were both dead.

He remembered the last time he saw them. The village was under attack. The enemy army was advancing brutally, letting no one escape. His father fought to the end, trying to hold off the invaders long enough for him and his mother to escape. But it wasn't enough.

Zaiko saw his mother's chest blown apart by a bullet before his eyes. He could still hear her scream, still feel her warm blood splashing on his face.

"Why?! Why was this happening?! Why my mother?! What did we do wrong? WE DON'T DESERVE THIS!!!"

He tried to run to catch her, but everything went blank when a brutal blow hit him on the head, throwing him against the wreckage of a house.

When he woke up, everything was silent...

The massacre was over. Bodies were scattered on the ground and the smell of burning flesh permeated the air.

He was alone.

The tears came, hot and furious. But along with the pain came something deeper. Something dark, something that grew inside him like a beast waiting to be unleashed.

Hatred.

Pure hatred.

It was at that moment that he heard that sound for the first time.

[Ding!]

[The System has been activated].

Zaiko's eyes widened, his mind spinning. A glowing screen appeared before his vision, displaying information he couldn't fully comprehend.

He couldn't read, yet those words seemed to translate automatically in his head.

[Awakened Supremacy System]

[Analyzing user...]

[Current Status: Weak]

[Potential: Extraordinary]

[Initial Mission: Survive]

His heart raced. What the hell was that? He blinked a few times, trying to process the situation, but then something inside him reacted. A warmth took over his body, and for the first time in his life, he felt... power.

His muscles became firmer, his mind clearer. He looked down at his hands and realized he could feel something flowing inside him. Something that had never been there before.

Ki.

Along with the Ki, he noticed something different about himself, it felt like there was an extra limb, and before his eyes, a monkey's tail grew out of his body.

He didn't know how, but he knew it was real. He knew that his body was changing.

And he knew exactly what he would do with this power.

He stood up between the bodies, his eyes burning with a new determination. There would be no more tears. There would be no more weakness.

Zaiko would die there, on that battlefield.

But something new was born in his place.

Something the world would never forget.

Something prepared to do whatever it took to end this war!

The biting wind blew across the devastated battlefield. The smell of blood and gunpowder still permeated the air, but Zaiko no longer felt afraid. His heart no longer beat uncontrollably; now it was cold, a deep, cutting cold.

His eyes scanned the bodies scattered on the ground, men and women who had been victims of the war, his friends as well as his family. But something inside him prevented him from feeling any grief. He had cried enough. He had begged enough. Now there was nothing left but an immense emptiness, filled only by a singular purpose: revenge.

[Ding!]

[Mission Completed: Survive]

[Reward: Full activation of the Supremacy System].

A wave of energy ran through his body, making his muscles vibrate. It was as if he had been born again, as if he was finally able to understand what had always been hidden inside him. Zaiko clenched his fists, feeling the power that now flowed through his veins. His Ki was awakening, becoming an extension of him.

He looked at his newly manifested tail, moving it slowly to test his control. It was strange, but somehow... natural. It was part of him. Just like the fury that now burned in his chest.

[Secondary Mission: Choose your path.]

[1 - Seek absolute power and wipe out your enemies].

[2 - Flee and find a safe haven].

[3 - Surrender and accept your fate].

Zaiko didn't have to think twice. His finger instinctively moved to the first option.

[Ding!]

[Mission Accepted: Seek absolute power].

[Objective: Defeat your first enemy and evolve].

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

His eyes scanned his surroundings until he found one of the enemy soldiers still wriggling among the debris. The man was groaning in pain, maybe he'd been hit by a grenade, maybe he'd been shot, it didn't matter, now all he was doing was trying to drag himself away. His uniform was stained with blood, and his eyes reflected the desperation of someone who knew his end was near.

Zaiko walked towards him unhurriedly, each step echoing over the rubble.

"Please... please..." The soldier tried to raise his hand in supplication, but Zaiko just bowed his head, watching him expressionlessly.

Was this the kind of person who had destroyed his village? Who killed his parents without hesitation? How... pathetic.

Zaiko raised his foot and stomped on the man's chest, pushing him to the ground. The soldier coughed up blood, his eyes wide with terror.

"Please... no... please, I have a family..."

Zaiko felt his anger explode.

"My mother begged too. My father fought too. And you showed no mercy."

His gaze sharpened, hatred boiling in his eyes "The people here also had families, I HAVE A FAMILY!!!"

His fist glowed with energy for the first time. Ki wrapped around his hand unsteadily but powerfully. An unfamiliar warmth ran through his body, and a feeling of ecstasy washed over him.

He smiled.

And then down came the blow.

The impact was brutal. The ground beneath them cracked with the force of the attack, and the soldier stopped moving immediately. Blood splattered in all directions, painting Zaiko's face, which now showed a distorted smile.

[Ding!]

[First opponent defeated]

[Reward: Access to the Enhancement Module].

Zaiko took a deep breath, feeling his heart slow down. He looked at his hands again. They were now stained with blood, but that didn't bother him.

In fact... he felt good.

For the first time in his life, he felt in control.

The System flashed in his mind, opening a new interface.

[Enhancement Module]

[Current Fighting Power: 15]

[Available Enhancements: (2)]

Ki Control [+10% Efficiency]

Physical Resistance [+5%]

Brute Strength [+5%]

Combat Instinct [+5%]

Zaiko considered his options for a moment. He wanted power, but not just brute strength. He needed something that would make him a complete warrior, something that would prepare him for his real mission: to eliminate everyone who caused him pain.

He chose Ki Control and Combat Instinct.

[Ding!]

[Enhancements applied].

Immediately, Zaiko felt a new clarity in his mind. His body felt lighter, his energy more accessible. He took a deep breath, feeling his Ki respond to his command more precisely.

He was still weak.

But not for long.

Zaiko lifted his gaze to the horizon. He knew that this battlefield was not the only one. There were other armies, other soldiers, other monsters that sustained this war.

And he would make a point of hunting every one of them down.

The war had taken everything from him.

Now he would take everything from the war.

He would be the one to change this world, he would be a hero... he would be a KING!

....

Night fell over the battlefield, but for Zaiko, there was no rest.

The blood on his hands had dried and the smell of metal permeated his nostrils, but he no longer felt repulsed. In fact, he didn't even think about it anymore. His eyes were fixed on the horizon, where the wreckage of war stretched as far as the eye could see. He knew that this place was only the beginning.

[Ding!]

[Secondary Mission: Seek Absolute Power].

[Reward: Access to the Advanced Training Module].

[Activating Accelerated Growth Protocol].

Zaiko clenched his fists. Every time he defeated an opponent, every time he drew blood, he felt something inside him change. His energy flowed more naturally, his senses were sharper. The system wasn't just a tool; it was as if it was shaping his body, refining it for something greater.

He looked around. There were traces of battle everywhere, but what caught his eye was a small group of enemy soldiers in the distance. They were huddled together, apparently reorganizing their strategies. A mistake. They didn't know that a predator was already watching them.

Zaiko didn't think twice. His body moved on its own, sliding through the rubble without making a sound. Each movement was precise, each step a silent dance of death. When he was close enough, he raised his hand and consciously concentrated his Ki for the first time.

A small sphere of red energy formed in his palm.

[Ding!]

[New Skill Learned: Ki Projectile Lv.1]

Zaiko smiled. So this was what it felt like to create energy?

Without hesitation, he launched the attack.

"You shouldn't die here," his voice was cold as night. "Just as my mother shouldn't have died. Just as my father shouldn't have fallen fighting a losing battle."

He grabbed the soldier's throat and lifted him into the air effortlessly.

"Do you feel that? That feeling of helplessness? That's the same feeling you made my village feel. The same feeling I felt as I watched everything I loved being destroyed."

The man tried to mumble something, but Zaiko didn't give him the chance.

With a firm grip, his hand glowed with Ki and, in a flash of energy, the soldier was reduced to nothing.

Silence.

Zaiko took a deep breath, feeling the heat of his own energy burning through his veins. He looked at his hands again. They weren't shaking. They didn't hesitate. He had finally become what he needed to be.

[Ding!]

[Updated Power Level: 27.]

[Enhancement Module]

[Current Fighting Power: 27]

[Available Enhancements: (1)]

Zaiko smiled. "That's just the beginning."

Choosing the Ki Control enhancement, he felt satisfied as the energy circulated in his body

He lifted his gaze to the horizon. There were still battles to fight, still enemies to eliminate. His power was growing, and with it, his hunger for more.

The war had taken everything from him.

And now, he would take everything from the war.

Zaiko marched forward, ready to carve his name into history with blood and fire. For if this world were ruled only by force...

He would become the strongest of them all.

Then a screen appeared. The moon hovered in the sky above, and the system displayed a message for Zaiko.

[Ding]

[Conditions for transformation (Oozaru) met]

[Does the host wish to transform? Y/N]

He didn't know what exactly this Oozaru was, but deep down in his being, there was a feeling.

Pressing S, his body began to transform... soon those in the war would feel the true terror...
