Saiyan System (English)

"Haha hi mom"

I was paralyzed. I didn't know what to say, what to do or how to react. My mind seemed frozen, while my body remained static, unable to process what was happening.

I couldn't face her. I was afraid to see the expression on her face, afraid of what I might find there.

"W...what happened?" I heard a shaky voice, it made me freeze completely, I don't know why, but tears started welling up in my eyes when I heard that voice coming from my mother... I had never heard that tone of voice from her, that was my mother, the person who had always been my fortress. Seeing her like that... destroyed me inside.

It was obvious that she was in shock, after all, her son had suddenly become a child again... at least she hadn't seen his ass, which I had hidden under my shorts.

"Mom... we need to talk..."

.....

We were now sitting at the same table we'd used for dinner in the morning, in the same position, but now everything was different.

"O... what happened, Ikaris? Are you really my son?" My mother asked, visibly trying to keep her voice steady but failing miserably, she sounded frightened...

Hearing her ask if I was her son somehow made me feel a pain... a pain greater than anything I've ever felt before inside my chest.

"Yes mom... some things happened, and I ended up like this..." I answered shakily, my breathing was heavy and fast, I couldn't control it now, I was panicking seeing her standing there in front of me with that expression.

"Answer me, what's wrong?" My mother asked again, ignoring my current state, since she didn't look much different from me.

I closed my eyes, trying to calm down. "It happened just now, when I was coming home from school... Mom, I'm sorry, I reacted to a robbery." My voice came out shaky, almost inaudible.

I saw her face instantly turn pale when I said it, and tears began to run down her face.

"So... you died..." I could see her digging her nails into her palms, which brought me more pain.

"NO, NO! Well... technically yes, but I came back to life!" I said desperately, trying to make up for this misunderstanding, my God, she thinks I'm a ghost or something.

She stared at me in confusion, but the color began to return to her face. "You've come back to life? How is that possible, Ikaris?"

"I... I can't say, it just happened, I heard a voice telling me to make a wish, and I ended up wishing for a system that gave me the abilities of a Saiyan." I said, still stuttering from the pressure I was feeling.

She looked at me confused, she knew what a system was, and a Saiyan, after all she reads some novels from time to time, and she grew up with my uncle, who has always been a fan of Dragon Ball.

"So, you came back to life thanks to that, good... but what does that explain about your appearance now?" She stood up, looking a little calmer; the initial shock seemed to have worn off.

I was surprised that she seemed to have accepted all this so quickly, honestly, neither have I yet, in my head I still think I'm going to wake up any minute in my bed with my alarm clock playing 505 by Arctic Monkeys.

"Ehh, mom, it's just that Saiyans have a longer childhood, until they have a growth spurt, which according to the system, mine will be when I turn 15."

"I see... But where is it?"

"Where's what, Mom?" I asked, confused.

"Where's your tail, if you even have the childhood of a Saiyan, you must have a tail." She questioned me, I was surprised by this, she seemed to be accepting it much faster than I had expected.

With a resigned sigh, I stood up and pulled my tail out of my shorts. When she saw it, her eyes went wide, fixed on the movement.

"Mom? What's up?"

"Hmm? Yes, everything's fine. I think that, until now, part of me still didn't believe it. But this..." She pointed to my tail. "...broke down any doubt."

She got up and walked to the back of the kitchen. I couldn't see her, but I heard the sound of drawers being opened. When she came back, her hands were behind her.

"Did you happen to run out of the pasta and minced meat I bought?"

At that moment I froze for a moment, I had completely forgotten that I had eaten everything I had in the house for the next three days, before we went to buy more.

"Hehe... Mom, it's just that... as a Saiyan, my appetite has grown a lot." I started to laugh slightly nervously.

But her smile... oh, that smile. It made me freeze. It was no ordinary smile, but something cold and calculated. She started walking towards me.

"Calm down, Mom! Let's talk!" I took a step back, trying to protect myself.

[Ding]

[ATTENTION! A murderous intent directed at the host has been detected]

At that moment I froze, murderous intent? What do you mean?

Before I could react, she grabbed my ass hard. A wave of pain ran through my body, leaving me weak and vulnerable. My vision blurred, and the next thing I knew, she had pulled out a knife hidden behind her back.

In fact, this weakness didn't come from my ass, but from myself... I never imagined that my mother would attack me like this.

"MOTHER, NO!!!"

Suddenly I closed my eyes, and something fell to the floor, making a loud noise.

Then I felt the grip on my tail loosen.

"Damn it, why did that happen?" I heard my mother's voice, and started to slowly open my eyes, only to see my tail intact, and the blade of the knife on the ground, while my mother was holding the handle.

[Ding]

[The system will not allow damage to the user's tail until complete integration with the skill]

"Mom?"

My mother looked at me with a mixture of relief and frustration. "Damn... Why did this happen?"

She sat down, visibly crestfallen. "I'm sorry, Ikaris. I just wanted to stop you turning into a giant ape... I thought it would be better this way."

"Okay... it's okay..." I was a bit shocked, especially by the system notification, murderous intent? What do you mean, murderous intent? Why would my mother have murderous intent against me?

I understood her concern, but... God, I can't understand it, murderous intent?

"I'm... just... going back to my room" I said coldly, like an emotionless machine, and walked out of there to my room with a pained expression.

It was hurting, my chest was hurting...

My mother noticed this, but she understood, it was better if she didn't say anything, she was the wrong one.

I closed the door to my room, lay down on my bed and spent long minutes staring at the ceiling, thinking.

[Ding]

[It has been detected that the host is experiencing a moment of stress caused by the system notification, automatic response requested]

[The system function used to warn of bad intentions towards the host is a protection granted by the system to keep the host alert, the murderous intent felt earlier does not mean the desire for death, but rather the intention to hurt the host]

"So... my mother didn't want to kill me?"

[No]

"I see..." I felt a bit bad for having treated my mother so coldly before, but what's done is done, it's not like it's the first time I've done that, but this time I had a good reason.

I let out a long sigh, and began to think: 'If the reaction to my mother was already so bad... imagine with the others, what am I going to say to the rest of the family? What am I going to say to my friends? What am I going to say to Laila?' All this was weighing on my mind, there were still three months to go until my 15th birthday, there was no way I could hide until then.

[Ding]

[The host can buy a disguise mask in the store, or a fake body to disguise themselves, however it is necessary to integrate with the skill]

"Damn..." I'm really going to have to turn into a giant monkey as soon as possible.

I got out of bed, establishing my conviction, and my courage to go and talk to my mother. "I HAVE to do this!" I left my room and went into the living room.

"Mom, if I don't turn into a giant monkey, I'm going to die again!" I stood in front of her and said it with as much intonation as I could muster in my now childlike voice.

I saw her look at me in shock and drop the cell phone that was in her hand on the floor.

....

(2 hours later)

We were in the car, quickly prepared our bags, and texted my stepfather that I had an emergency and we had to leave.

We spent 3 hours in the car to get to a deserted place. I had given the idea of going to one of our family's farms, but my mother refused the idea, as it would cost us too much.

So why not go to some random mountainous terrain on the BR?

"Here we are, Ikaris" My mother stopped the car and turned to me.

"You'd better go, Mom, I don't want to end up hurting you." I answered her as I opened the car door.

She just waved at me, and as I got out of the car she said, "I'll be here in the morning."

I waved back, and watched as she started the car and headed back towards our house.

"Well... I guess I'll have to miss school for a few days..."

The moon was appearing, thanks to the system, it didn't have to be a full moon, the system itself would absorb enough blutz rays around me.

I took a deep breath, and looked at the moon "This is it!"

[Ding]

[Attention, the necessary conditions for transformation (Oozaru) have been met, would the host like to transform?]

[Y/N]

I pressed the S button in front of me, and suddenly began to feel a gigantic pain all over my body.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The pain was killing me, I've never felt such pain in my entire life, it felt like all the muscles in my body were expanding, and they really were.

[DING]

[ATTENTION ATTENTION]

[THE HOST IS LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS]

[ENTERING BERSERKER MODE]

After this notification from the system, I felt the world turn red, as a boundless rage took over my chest, I felt like a wild animal, all I wanted was destruction, to destroy everything.

I could still observe everything, I could still control my body, but the rage was so great... I just wanted to kill and destroy.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" I roared at a cow nearby, my hands wrapped around it and crushed it, creating a pool of blood on the ground.

I looked up at the moon "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

I could feel energy gathering in my mouth, and throwing it at a nearby mound, which was completely obliterated.

I went running after animals, I'm not sure how many, but I'm sure I devoured at least two cows with one mouthful.

I continued in this state until dawn, when the moon disappeared, my body contracted again, and I returned to normal, but I was tired... very tired.

With my small body, I fell to the ground, taking deep breaths.

After some time lying down, I managed to get up, feeling pain all over my body, there I was, naked in the middle of craters

"What the fuck?"

I heard a voice in the distance saying this, it was my mother who had just arrived.

Well, actually she had arrived a long time ago, she was worried and came back earlier than expected, but she didn't expect to hear explosions and roars when she arrived, so she waited until they stopped.

And then finally, this is where we are, this is how we got into this situation.

...

I was going home now with my mother, I was exhausted, I got dressed in some clothes my mother had brought, which were huge on me, since my height was now 1.47, quite different from my old 1.68.

"System, what are the changes?"

[Ding]

[Congratulations to the host for completely integrating with your skill!!!]

[Now the system has been completely unlocked, and the host has unlocked the skill (Ki Control), and (Self-Control)]

[Status Window]

Name: Ikaris Oliveira

Age: 14

Race: Human/Saiyan

Status: Alive, Healthy

Fighting power: 6.0 -> 18

Skills: Saiyan, Ki Control, Self-Control

Saiyan - Integrated

This skill gives you access to all the benefits of the Saiyan race, such as talents, special abilities like the Zenkai, and transformations, as well as your life expectancy, and racial traits.

Evolve the skill to unlock new transformations, and increase your talent, this can be done by training your control or your base form.

Rank: Low class Saiyan (50/1000)

Current transformation: Oozaru (Uncontrolled)

Ki control - 0%

Grants the host the ability to handle Ki, and control their form.

Self-Control - lvl5

Allows the host to remain calm and think rationally in times of stress

Decreases the chance of entering a berserker state by 5%

"Huh?" The first thing I realized was my race, now I really was a Saiyan, a real one.

"What does that mean system?"

[Ding]

[Because the host had successfully integrated his (Saiyan) ability, the ability merged into his body, causing him to change his body on a molecular level, transforming him into half a Saiyan]

"Incredible!" I exclaimed, now I was an existence like Gohan, Trunks and Goten!

Well... maybe more like Gohan, if I'd been a freak like Goten and Trunks with a few million fighting powers at the age of 7, turning into Oozaru would have destroyed the entire planet.

"What happened?" my mother, still driving, asked.

"Oh, Mom, it's just that I've gained some abilities, and now I'm half Saiyan!" I explained this excitedly, she just kept quiet and drove on, I didn't care and continued asking about the changes in the system.

I could hardly imagine what a whirlwind my mother's mind was at that moment, for me it was something simple, a childlike happiness, for her...

[The host now has access to the Check function, the system store, the missions, the inventory, and a few others that will be left for the host to discover on their own]

"Haa... That's incredible." I was very excited, now it was certain, I had an incredible system, I had become a Saiyan, it brought me so many possibilities, I could be the superman of real life, but without weaknesses like a small stone that could turn me gay hahaha... not as if it would change much.

[Ding]

[Tutorial Mission has been issued by the system, would you like to accept?]

[Y/N]

Rewards: 5 senzu beans, Ki control manual, Kuririn training master, 10,000 points

Penalties: None

"Of course I'll accept!" I pressed the S button, and more information appeared in front of me.

[Tutorial Mission]

-Open Inventory 0/1

-Use the check on someone with fighting power greater than 5 0/1

-Open the Masters tab 0/1

-Open the Shop 0/1

Do push-ups 0/100

-Do Abs 0/100

-Do Squats 0/100

-Run for 10km 0/10

"Is this a Saitama workout? Is it serious?" I was a bit confused by this training, but I should do it, 5 Senzu beans and this Ki control manual would be absurdly necessary.

I just had doubts about this Master, Kuririn? What would that be, the little bald guy training me?

It's not like I'm going to complain, he's still part of the Z warriors, and he trained with Goku, being miles above me, who's never practiced a martial art in my life... well, almost.

When I was little I practiced karate for two years... but I never got out of the white belt...

I'm ashamed of myself haha...

I don't even know if that's possible, but it really occurred to me.

Anyway, I quickly opened the inventory, which was the easiest, and saw a space with 64 slots for me to store anything non-living, I think, I still have to test it actually.

When I looked at the quest again, the opening inventory part was finished.

-Open Inventory 1/1

"Well, I just have to complete the rest" I opened the store, and was faced with several columns with thousands of items and different prices.

Senzu Beans 1000pt

Flying Cloud 5000pt

Banquet capsule 100pt

Flying Manual 1500pt

Basic training room 3000pt

Time Room 100,000pt

Fruit of Power 500,000pt

Master Beerus 1,000,000,000pt

Master Whis 2,500,000,000pt

....

[Attention, it is possible to unlock items from other worlds by doing missions]

"Wow, incredible! This store has everything I need!" I was happy to see so many things in the store, but at the same time scared by some of the prices, like Beerus and Whis, but that's for the future, I'm not even close to Goku at the end of the classic.

Finally, I had to open the masters tab for the easier missions in the "Open" tutorial. Then a screen appeared in front of me, explaining everything about this function.

These masters can be acquired from missions, or by buying them in the store, and they serve to train me in their characteristic skills, and in their martial arts, I can also use them as punching bags, and I can choose their initial fighting power shown in the anime, and their maximum power.

And that also takes me into a virtual space where I can't train, or get stronger, it's for pure learning.

Now in addition to Saitama's training, I should check out someone who has more than 5 fighting power.

The only person close to me now was my mother, so I looked at her and said "Check".

Name: Rose Oliveira

Race: Human

Fighting power: 14

Skills: Immunity to poison lvl3, bloodlust lvl1, stealth lvl5, proficiency with blades lvl8...

"WHAT????????" I let out a scream that startled my mother and almost made her crash the car, whereupon she shouted back at me.

"WHAT'S WRONG RETARD? DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?" She shouted at me in anger at the scare, obviously.

"No... nothing, I just saw a very... incredible function of my system?

What did this 'proficiency with blades' at level 8 mean? And 'bloodlust'? How did she have all that? I began to put the pieces together: her calm acceptance of the idea of a system, the naturalness with which she dealt with the history of the Saiyans, the sharp cut that almost tore my tail off... That wasn't just instinct. It was experience.

And that gave me a few more doubts like I'd had before, but seeing this strangeness in my family, I asked myself.

"Mom... what did you do before you became a housewife?" I asked, trying to sound casual as I looked out of the window.

She glanced at me through the rearview mirror, hesitating before answering. "I've already told you. I've worked on lots of things... it's part of life. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. Curiosity."

"Curiosity or is your system telling you something?" She narrowed her eyes, almost as if she could guess my thoughts.

My voice caught. "Uh... no, nothing like that. I just... thought it would be interesting to know more about you. And... I don't know, stuff like that. Forget it, it's nothing."

She didn't look convinced, but she didn't insist. "Okay, Ikaris. But if there's something you need to talk about, you can be direct. You don't need a system to understand me."

I didn't know what to say. The information from the check left my mind scrambled. And, frankly, with a touch of fear. If my mother had skills like that... what else was she hiding?

Who am I?

Where did this system come from?

Why did I come back to life?
