NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Combo
Bom dia pessoas,
I would like to thank Sleepy for his help with the English text.
I saw some comments talking about using the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and I would like to comment on them.
Before Dende rebuilds the chamber, it the following limit:
"The Chamber can only be used for two days (or two years) by any given person, meaning a person can only enter the chamber twice in their lifetime, assuming they stay for the full year both times. Staying in the chamber for two days straight counts as two uses. If anybody attempts to use the chamber past their 48-hour limit, they will not be able to exit, leaving them trapped in the nothingness and not allowing anyone else to use the outside door."
And as the title makes clear, we will end the first year in this chapter.
Ps: Have you seen the trailer for the new Doom? They gave Doomguy a giant robot.
First thing I thought: "Why?"
Second thing I thought: "Why not?"
---------------------------------------------
[YOU SLEPT SIX HOURS ON THE FLOOR]
"Shiiiiiiiiiiiit." Gohan groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.
[YOU'RE PARTIALLY HEALED]
His body felt heavy and weak, every muscle aches as if he had been put through a meat grinder. His head pounds in pain, making it difficult for him to focus on anything other than the throbbing on his temples.
He tried to sit up, but his legs buckled and then gave out under his weight, causing him to fall back onto the cold floor with a thud.
"Ouch! My back."
Panic set in when he realized how weak he was.
"Is all this because I overused Clock-Up?" Gohan whimpered on the floor.
[KI SKILLS]
-Clock-Up Lv. 56/100 [ Expert ]
Cost: 5,000 KP To change body / 1,000 KP For short speed burst Effect: Prepares the body to move in short bursts of speed. Speed Burst X3.56 for 10 seconds.
WARNING: Prolonged use can have a very heavy toll on the user's body.
[KI SKILLS]
"I really am a dumbass." Complains the young man lying down. "It's the only Skill with a warning attached and I still ended up ignoring it."
Gohan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to calm down and regain his strength, as soon he recovered a bit of his strength, he pushed himself to a sittig positiont..
"This is worse than a hangover." He complains once again, his head hurting even more due to the movement of his body.
Swallowing hard, Gohan made a tremendous effort to get up, but the pain that wracked his body was intolerable. The muscles in his back, legs, abdomen and arms ached intensely. His head seemed to be about to explode with pain.
He placed his hands on his upper legs and pressed hard to stand up, but the weight of his body was too much for him to bear. He felt as if all the discs in his spine were ruptured.
Lifting his head Gohan felt a bout of nausea as he tried to keep his balance. Trembling to fall, the young man paused and took a deep breath, trying to control the wave of nausea that washed over him.
When he finally managed to stabilize his balance, he made another effort to stand up completely. His head hurts once again and his stomach feels sick from the strength needed to perform this simple task.
"All the misfortune in the world for stupid people is too little." He muttered the saying from his old life under his breath as he tried to endure the pain throughout his body. "If I had paid more attention to the warning I wouldn't be experiencing this miserable torture."
Slowly Gohan shuffles to his bed.
"I think I'll spend the rest of the day meditating in my bed."
[+5 MENTAL]
"These system mental bonuses are starting to look like indirect verbal assault."
[+10 MENTAL]
Without the strength to question, Gohan focused on reaching his bed and throwing himself onto it.
"Finally." He mumbles as he falls onto the comfortable bed.
Gohan closed his eyes and felt the pain being eased through his body. Wanting to speed up the process he began to meditate, focusing on his breathing. Soon his mind began to relax, and his body began to feel a sense of peace and comfort that he had not experienced in a long time.
His muscles began a regeneration process, a slow process compared to his HP recovery. It was as if a magical force was rebuilding every damaged fiber. The pain that wracked his body began to slowly subside.
His back stopped hurting, and his legs felt stronger and more flexible. His head was being relieved of the pain, and the sickness in his stomach began to dissipate as well.
Gohan continued meditating for longer, unconsciously feeling the regeneration energy as it that passes through his body, Gohan slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the bed with ease he hadn't shown since before the battle against Vegeta.
[+ 36 Meditate Levels]
"Ah… That's what I call recovery and gains." Gohan says with a satisfied smile on his mouth. "Now I'm ready to train again."
But turning to the clock in the entrance, he notices that it was already time for dinner, after all he spent the whole day meditating.
"Damn it! I think I'll just tally up yesterday's gains, eat and go to sleep."

"Oozaru Vegeta is 7 times my power level and I will need at least 48 fights against normal Vegeta to level up again... which won't be nearly enough to face Oozaru Vegeta on equal terms."
Sitting in silence staring at his Status screen, Gohan thinks of strategies to shorten the time to face the giant gorilla.
"Trying to create buff techniques is out of the question, I don't know if my body or mind could handle an even greater toll." The young warrior grumbles. "This system doesn't have a store or dungeon creation that I can abuse… but there must be some mechanics that I can take advantage of."
With his eyes closed, the young man begins to review in his head everything he remembers about Dragon Ball lore, over power techniques, training methods, KI, weapons, physiognomy of the main races until something connects with what he knows about the system.
'This is impossible!' Raditz's voice echoes in the back of his mind. 'No matter how powerful the enemy is, there is no way a system construct can kill the user.'}
"Oh man...." Gohan complains, giving a sarcastic laugh. "I already know how to quickly increase my power… and it will hurt my body and ego a lot."
[DBI:GG]
[HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!]
Despite being determined to put his plan to get strong quickly into practice, Gohan was terrified of facing an enemy so much more powerful than him.
[BEEEEERSEEEEERKEEEER]
"I don't believe it!" Exclaims Gohan smiling. "It's Beast in Black."
Excitedly, Gohan sang the song that was one of his favorites in his past life.
[Like a hellraiser
Monster of rage
Unleash the fury
Through your sword of hate
Destroy and murder
Retaliate
Harness the power
Of the beast in black
BEEEEEERSEEEEERKEEEER]
A gigantic green pixel pillar explodes in front of Gohan, catching the young warrior by surprise, when he looks ahead he notices the materialization of a monster over 30 meters tall(100 f).
Upon catching a glimpse of the creature, his stomach twisted nervously with traumatic memories from his childhood in the late 90s.
"I think I still have PTSD from facing Oozaru baby from Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout on Ps1!"
[Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for a spectacle of raw, untamed power!
This isn't the Vegeta you know!
He is a primal beast, a hurricane of rage fueled by a power that could shatter planets!
THE RAMPAGING MONSTER...
THE DEATH OF A THOUSAND PLANETS...
OOOOZARU VEGETA!]
"GUOOOOOH!" Roared the giant gorilla monster looking up at the sky.
Gohan trembled in fear as he looked at the colossal monster that was approaching. Oozaru Vegeta's giant gorilla form was intimidating, covered in black fur, his blood red eyes glowed with an unearthly intensity, expressing an overwhelming fury. Its large mouth was open, revealing sharp, pointy teeth. His arms were huge and muscular, with large, powerful hands. His presence was oppressive, as if the earth itself was vibrating in response to his strength.
The monster became even angrier when he noticed Gohan in front of him, roaring once again with all the strength in his throat. His gaze is fixed on his opponent, as if he wants to devour him with his own eyes. The negative energy he emitted was palpable, haunting the air around him.
But instead of attacking, the monster began to laugh with its powerful and deep voice.
"You are brave to want to face me with your ridiculous power." The monster growled towards the little hybrid.
[READY?]
"If regrets could kill someone…" Gohan mutters, swallowing his nervousness and fear.
[FIGHT!]
Taking a deep breath, Gohan flies towards the Vegeta. His ki coursed through his body as he launched himself at the giant gorilla's figure, his fists glowing with energy. But the beast was faster than him.
"Insect." Roars the monster as he slaps his opponent, throwing him to the ground.
[- 97,524 HP]
Gohan fell to the ground out of breath, completely stunned by the speed and force of the attack.
"I-I thought he was slower in this form." Gohan snorted
He was horrified when the Oozaru Vegeta lifted his foot and hovered over him, his massive frame casting a shadow over him. The monster's eyes glittered with malice as it prepared to deliver the final blow.
"DIE!" Shouted the monster, trampling Gohan.
[MASSIVE DAMAGE]
[-278,524 HP]
[YOU'RE OUT OF HP]
[YOU BLACKED OUT]
Injured and defeated, Gohan's body is stretched out on the white floor, without consciousness he remains in the same position until the next day.
[YOU SLEPT SIX HOURS ON THE FLOOR]
"Everything hurts." Gohan speaks, getting up from the ground. "At least it hurts less than a Clock-up overuse."
[YOU'RE PARTIALLY HEALED]
Slowly the young man gets up and with a smug smile faces the windows he was waiting for.
[ZENKAI BOOST (30%)]
"It looks like it will work." The young man grumbled, looking at the zenkai boost window."
[+36,000 XP]
[+2 Levels]
"I forgot that I also get 20% XP." Celebrated the young man with the new levels.
[CHOOSE YOUR REWARD(x2)]
Silver Attribute Bean (+50%)
Silver Skill Bean (+100)
Silver Special Abilities Bean (+100)
[CHOOSE YOUR REWARD(x2)]
Gohan collects his 2 silver skill bean rewards as he prepares for another day of training.
Although the Zenkai Boost Bonus has accelerated his gains, Gohan is not excited about the next few days of fighting and losing against Oozaru Vegeta.
"And I still have at least 6 more days of being mauled by a giant gorilla before I have a chance to defeat him." The Young Man mutters, putting on his 5 Ton outfit. "But I can't just depend on Zenkai Boost, I'm going to train my attributes and skills to guarantee my victory."
[DBI:GG]
A total of 7 days, Gohan spent training intensely with his clothes now weighing five tons inside the room and being defeated in fights against Oozaru Vegeta. All of this was done with the aim of reaching his power level as quickly as possible.
On the morning of the eighth day, Gohan was under the impression that at his current level of power he had a real chance of defeating him. But before facing his opponent he wanted to be sure, so he opened his status window before starting to train.
"Nice!" Exclaims the young man smiling while looking at his status window. "It was really worth getting beaten by the Harambe Berserker."

[STATUS]
"Oozaru Vegeta has a Power level of 180,000, making him 31.107 more powerful than me." Gohan grumbles, pondering whether or not he should face the giant gorilla. "Let's look at Ki Skills."
[KI SKILLS]
KI MANIPULATION:
-Clock-Up Lv. 56/100 [ Expert ]
Cost: 5,000 KP To change body / 1,000 KP For short speed burst Effect: Prepares the body to move in short bursts of speed. Speed Burst X3.56 for 10 seconds.

[KI SKILLS]
"I didn't train Clock-up for fear of getting screwed again and losing a whole day of training, now Ki Blast and Flight have reached Master." Said Gohan going over what changed in his Skills. "The flight speed has doubled and the cost of Ki Blast drops by half... Now the master level skills have increased little since training alone doesn't help as much and Oozaru Vegeta always defeats me quickly, not giving me time to practice them."
If Gohan is defeated today, he would probably be able to defeat Oozaru Vegeta with the next zenkai boost.
But he didn't want that.
Without realizing it, a sense of honor and pride had been awakened within Gohan. He wanted to defeat his opponent without another Zenkai Boost, even though it would be better for his training in the long run.
Gohan pondered where this pride could have come from, whether it was from training so hard or whether perhaps it was something linked to his half-Saiyan genetic heritage.
"Whatever." Gohan said to himself. "I will defeat him today, I owe it to my Saiyan side."

Gohan's eyes widened in surprise as he noticed the new numbers and text displayed next to his techniques. He had expected some sort of power increase, but what he was seeing would completely alter the way he fought.
"Thank you Brazilian way."
[DBI:GG]
By the end of the day Gohan had become familiar with the changes in his techniques and now he was in the middle of the white expanse ready to fight, facing the giant gorilla he had already summoned.
[READY?]
Although Gohan was still weaker than Oozaru, he was confident in his new abilities.
[FIGHT!]
Without wasting time, Gohan quickly summons his ki, opening his legs in the posture of his most powerful attack.
"Kamehame-…"
Oozaru Vegeta laughs in disdain at the young man trying to hit him with the ki attack.
"Insignificant insect." Growls Vegeta at Gohan. "Even though you have become a little stronger since our last fight, your attack will at most feel like an insect bite."
"-…Haaaa-..."
The beam of energy flew towards the titanic ape's chest, confident that nothing was going to happen, the monster just raised its left hand to block the attack.
Unfortunately for Vegeta, he hadn't noticed that Gohan hadn't finished shouting his attack yet.
"-…Frag!" Shouted the young warrior.
The tip of the energy beam about to collide with the Oozaru's palm opened, fragmenting into several smaller beams colliding against the monster's body.
[95,725 DMG]
"What is that?" Questions Vegeta furiously. "Kakarot has never used this technique in this way."
Laughing confidently, Gohan begins to explain.
"I discovered that when Ki Skills reach Grand Master level I can add effects to my techniques."
[KI SKILLS]

[KI SKILLS]
"There are some really cool things I can do-." Said Gohan until he was stepped on by his opponent.
[- 87,397 HP]
The giant gorilla smiles looking as his boot crushed his little opponent.
"Then I just need to kill you before you can use them." Vegeta added in a sovereign tone. "Squashed like the bug you are."
To emphasize his point, Vegeta swung his foot trying to scrape his opponent's body against the floor of the temple room.
[- 74,435 HP]
But the prince encountered unexpected resistance.
[Lord Camelot Resist 41,345]
"What?" Questioned Vegeta, feeling his foot being lifted off the ground. "IMPOSSIBLE!"
Underneath the monster's foot, Gohan stood firm with the blue aura of his defense technique activated.
"DIE!" Shouted the Oozaru, putting more pressure on his steps.
"Lord Camelot Counter!"
A strange pressure coming from Gohan's hands hits Vegeta's foot through the sole of his boot.
[8,874 DMG]
Caught by surprise, he removes his limb from Gohan, who takes advantage of the gap to leave the ground, flying up to his head.

Vegeta tries to grab him with one of his hands, but before he reaches him, Gohan's image dissolves into thin air.
Furious, Vegeta roars, hitting his chest.
"Fight like a real warrior, you cheating coward."
"Stop complaining you shitty King Kong." Said Gohan behind Vegeta. "If it's in the game, it's meant to be used."

[KI SKILLS]
Vegeta attacks Gohan with the savagery of a hungry beast. Gohan, sensing imminent danger, activated the clock-up to escape. His body glowed red as he moved at incredible speed, avoiding Vegeta's savage punches.
Gohan's heart raced in his chest as he evaded Vegeta's attacks. He knew he couldn't afford to make a mistake, not against someone as powerful as the Saiyan prince in his Oozaru form.
As Vegeta charged forward, Gohan activated Lord Camelot once again. The blue aura surrounds him as he braces himself for impact.
"Disappear!" Vegeta shouted, punching the boy.
[- 39,435 HP]
Vegeta's fist collided with his opponent's raised arms defending his chest, at another point Gohan would have his arms broken, but the strength of the attack was significantly reduced thanks to the defensive technique. Gohan gritted his teeth and countered with a powerful kick to his opponent's fist, making Vegeta's arm recoil.
[- 54,387 DMG]
"It won't end like this." He growled. "You're no better than me, Kakarot's spawn!"
Gohan didn't respond. Instead, he disabled Clock-up and kept Lord Camelot with the extra ability activated.
Vegeta, closing his red eyes, began to hit Gohan with his guard up. The young man received the prince's blows without dodging or even blinking. This angered Vegeta even more, as it made him look weak.
[- 42,872 HP]
[- 35,743 HP]
[- 39,125 HP]
Despite Gohan's exterior showing no emotions, he was tired and had pain in his muscles and bones as Vegeta continued to punch and kick his body.
[- 45,183 HP]
[- 40,991 HP]
[- 35,766 HP]
[- 37,172 HP]
[- 41,891 HP]
"Fight back, you weakling!" The gorilla shouts, bringing both hands down like a hammer on Gohan. "Be the man your father wasn't."
[- 127,872 HP]
Even with his defense technique activated, the last blow drastically drained Gohan's HP and further increased his pain and agony, but the young man's only reaction to the blow was to smile.
"All according to Keikaku." Gohan said with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Lord Camelot's blue aura pulsed and expanded until it began to flicker in blue flames across the young hybrid's body.
"What are you doing?" Questions Vegeta, taking a step back.
In an ironic tone, Gohan responds.
"A combo."
As if waiting for his statement, the flames exploded like fire in a blue inferno, covering Gohan to the point of almost hiding him.
"Lord Camelot Kinetic Charge."
"I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!" Shouted Vegeta, firing a beam of energy from his mouth.
"Clock-up-…!" Gohan starts to speak only to disappear mid-sentence.
The Oozaru's energy beam hits the ground creating a blinding ki blast. The light from the explosion casts a shadow over Vegeta as Gohan reappears near his torso.
"-…Blitz X 5." It ends with the young man appearing to punch Vegeta in the stomach.
[215,000 DMG]
Gohan's fist connects with Vegeta's stomach with a sickening thud. The impact was violent to the point of making the monster bend over while particles of blood and sweat spread in all directions from the gorilla's body.
As if one blow wasn't enough, four more distorted images of Gohan's fist appeared in Vegeta's swollen belly, each pulsing with a ferocious energy that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
[215,000 DMG]
[215,000 DMG]
[215,000 DMG]
[215,000 DMG]
This feat was only possible because Gohan stored energy from Vegeta's attacks with Lord Camelot Kinetic Charge and then used Clock-Up Blitz X5 to multiply his punch.
"Gurgk!" Vegeta moans in a guttural tone as if he was going to vomit.
The Saiyan prince doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach as he struggled to catch his breath. Gohan watched him with a cold, calculating gaze, knowing that he had just dealt a blow that would leave the real Vegeta incapacitated for days.
Taking his chance, Gohan quickly brought his ki to the surface, gathering whatever was left of his Ki reserve. He could feel the raw power coursing through his veins, ready to be used against his enemy.
"Kamehameha!" Shouted Gohan firing a beam of energy.
"If-your -." Vegeta groaned breathlessly.
The prince raised one of his hands, stopping a beam of energy that seemed tiny when compared to his titanic size.
[87,542 DMG]
"Empower X10, Widen X10!" Shouted Gohan, feeling his Ki being drained in large quantities by the technique.
Gohan's Kamehameha began to grow, expanding rapidly as he put every last ounce of his energy into it. The beam of light intensified, its power increasing along with its size. It was as if the very air around him was being compressed, the energy so intense that it surpassed even Oozaru Vegeta's resistance.
[875,420 DMG]
"NOOOOOO…" The monster screamed, being consumed by the attack.
The final explosion was a true spectacle, a deafening boom that echoed through the infinite void of the time room.
[KO]
Gohan falls to his knees on the ground, with Ki exhausted and his hands once again burned, only this time the injuries were less intense than the first.
[YOU WIN!]
"I won…" Said the young man in disbelief.

"He he." Gohan laughs awkwardly, staring at the Zenkai Boost window. "I got beaten up so much using Lord Camelot that I even got a zenkai boost."
Despite being slightly embarrassed, the feeling of triumph and joy flooded him.
Pride at having defeated a powerful enemy fills Gohan's chest, to the point where he ignores the windows with his rewards obscuring his field of vision. Tears of happiness began to flow from her eyes. He felt so happy and fulfilled that it was difficult to describe, as if everything he had suffered so far had been compensated with this single moment of glory.

Despite the cathartic moment, he slowly rose from the ground, and even with his arms burned, bones throbbing in pain, burning muscles and an overloaded heart, he smiled as the pain was also proof that he had achieved his goal.

"And I still have 10 months to focus on perfecting my techniques and increasing my power as much as possible." Said Gohan, choosing the attribute beans and Power Ball as a reward.
Although Gohan didn't know what the Power Ball did, he was curious about what this technique was capable of doing.
[New System Feature is now available.]
[Achievements Unlocked]
"Huh?" Asks the young man, surprised by the new window.
[For having reached one hundred thousand in all attributes in less than a year alone, the user received the "Hard Work Genius" achievement.]
"Achievements?"
As if answering his question, a new window opens.
[ACHIEVEMENTS]
# Hard Work Genius:
Effect = When training, player have his physical and mental resistance doubled. The user also has something similar to a sixth sense when it comes to training. Instinctively he knows when a form of training is viable or not when he is focused on a goal.
[ACHIEVEMENTS]
"This will be very useful… WAIT!" Exclaims Gohan loudly reading the Achievement window. "Isn't Hard Work Genius something related to Rock Lee?"
[DBI:GG]
For 334 days straight Gohan trained.
When his power grew to the point that Oozaru Vegeta was no longer a challenge, he needed to find alternatives. To bypass this problem, he fought the gorilla using his 5 Ton suit, but this only prolonged the opponent's utility lifespan for a short time to gain attribute points.
His training would have completely stagnated if it weren't for the idea of focusing on gaining more points in his techniques that had reached the master level. Getting them to Grand Master level took a long time, but time was what Gohan had in spades.
Today, on the last day of first year training, Gohan woke up with his muscles sore. The pain in his body didn't even bother him anymore, as he was so used to intense training. He stretched his limbs, feeling the familiar pain of muscles straining to the limit.
As he stood up, he felt power coursing through his veins, a testament to the tireless effort he had put into his plan to get stronger.
"It's a shame that my stats stopped rising." The young warrior grumbled. "Not even when I move as far away as possible without risking getting lost and wearing the three heavy clothes at the same time do I feel challenged in here."
This was something that bothered Gohan.
"When Vegeta, Trunks, Goku and Vegeta came to train in the room, they were much more powerful than me. And even so, they had difficulty training here at first." Gohan thinks out loud. "This lack of progression in the last few weeks must be due to the lack of someone to train with me combined with some other factors that I still don't understand… at least my Ki Skills have reached the Grand Master rank."

[KI SKILLS]
"The day I ate the Silver Skill Bean I was confused because I gained less than 100 in Kamehameha, Lord Camelot and Clock Up. But when the other Skills reached the Grand Master rank they also didn't advance any further. So it becomes obvious that I reach some kind of cap, that I need some different training or perhaps divine Ki."
In his rationalization about his powers, another realization dawns on Gohan's mind.
"Since when have I been talking to myself?" Question the worried young man. "I'm going crazy in this isolation."
The young man turns to the entrance and sighs tiredly.
"I don't remember exactly how many days I have out there until we leave for Namek, but I'm pretty sure it was more like 10 days." Said the young man trying to pull knowledge over 20 years old from the depths of his memories. "I think I'm going to spend a few days out there, instead of continuing my training for another year, maybe talk to some masters to train some techniques and then I'll perfect them when I get back here again."
Satisfied with his decision, Gohan slowly walked towards the exit, as soon as he opened the door he came face to face with a large and familiar figure staring at him intensely.
"It's good to see you again, Mr. Popo." Gohan said, giving a small bow to the iconic character.
Instead of answering the boy, Popo ignored him and continued to stare at him. Gohan, not knowing how to react, waited in silence for a few minutes until Mr. Popo approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder and speaking in a stern tone.
"Little Gohan." Popo said, looking into the young warrior's eyes. "If you keep going like this, you'll end up killing yourself."
"B-but I'm feeling great." Gohan said worriedly. "My power has grown a lot in this year of training."
Popo shakes his head negatively, silencing the boy before continuing to speak.
"It's true that you have greatly increased your power." Popo comments, maintaining a severe tone. "But the problem is that if you are becoming a Ki bomb capable of destroying the planet."
"WHAT?"

Boa noite pessoas,

COMMENTS:
-davvasconcelos(questionablequesting):
Man, this is an interesting story.
You improved your writing from one chapter to the next, the transition between scenes in the first chapter was a bit abrupt and now it's more fluid.
Regarding the novel, I'm in favor of Harem, this is a world that you can die at the whim of a planet-destroying villain, better make the most of it.
Pairing suggestion: Videl, Erasa, Zangya and Android 21.
-Renan:
Thanks for the compliment.
I'm still deciding on the romantic pairing, but as I said before, it won't be a Harem.
