《Dragon Ball X》Chapter 3: Corrupt Gods Saga
Advertisement
Five days after his and #18’s date, on the day of the tournament with Universe 6, Shadow is flying to Capsule Corp. in a hurry. He’s late due to the fact that he overslept, as he’s about to use Instant Transmission, a Ssmokey, black portal opens right in Shadow’s path. A monster comes out, upon seeing this Shadow thinks to himself, What the-? Its body resembles that of a saibamen, but it has a... bird’s face? Suddenly, the creature creates blue flames and hurls them, Shadow puts up an energy barrier which blocks the flames. The creature then extends its index finger and fires a powerful energy blast, Shadow responds by kicking the blast into space. The creature begins to look desperate as it creates a sword made of energy and charges at him. Shadow then speeds right behind the monster and delivers a karate chop, cutting it in half and fires a ki blast, vaporizing the creature. What the hell just happened...? He wonders as he Instant Transmissions to Capsule Corp. He greets everyone with, “Sorry I’m late. I was-- WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE ODOR??!!!!” Shadow holds his nose as he looks to see a bearded Goku and Vegeta. Goku says, “Sorry we’re late, it’s easy to lose track of time in the--” “JUST GO AND TAKE A SHOWER!!” Shadow interrupts. During the 3 hour flight to the Nameless Planet, Zangya pinches Shadow’s tricep, “Explain to me why you went shopping with the robot girl.” says Zangya in a jealous tone. Shadow sighs and tells her, “I’ll take you out for parfaits later.” Zangya releases her fingers with a smile. When they reach the Nameless Planet, the Universe 7 fighters (Trunks, Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, and Shadow) meet and converse with the Universe 6 fighters (Botamo, Frost, Cabba, Magetta, and hit). Vados begins to scold them for not taking their seats. On his way to his seat, Shadow notices Vegeta asking Cabba if he could take him to Sadala when he is able to and assures him to not worry because the Saiyans of Universe 7 don't steal planets any longer. Shadow takes the written exam of ten basic questions and passes it.
As he watches the first match between Trunks and Universe 6's first pick, Botamo. After a couple of minutes, Botamo loses to Trunks because Trunks ties Botamo’s hands in a knot, picks him up and throws him out of the ring due to him not being able to deal damage to Botamo thanks to his strangely elastic body. The next combatant for Universe 6 is Frost who fights Trunks next immediately after. Shadow sees that Universe 6 is surprised when they see Frost transform into his second form. Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan 2 and Frost goes into his final form. Frost throws a series of pouches that break Trunks’ guard and then kicks Trunks out of the ring. Shadow says out loud that “Trunks needs more training. '' Goku and Piccolo agree while Vegeta grunts in anger and disappointment. The next fight between Piccolo and Frost starts, Shadow sits back to watch the match between the two fighters. He is surprised when the fight is over and that Frost won. Jaco then asks the referee to check Frost because he detects something wrong about Frost, Cabba immediately objects, saying how he believes that Frost is a noble character and that he fought Frost himself, so he believes Frost won fairly. Everyone in the arena, except for Shadow, is in complete shock when Frost reveals that he starts wars just to end them and buy war-torn planets at a very low cost. Shadow hears someone from his Universe mutter, “Even in another universe, Frieza is still a scumbag..!” Shadow then proceeds to watch the fight between Vegeta and Frost; he has a very satisfied look on his face when he sees Vegeta punch Frost so hard, he goes flying and makes a hole in the barrier sounding the arena. Serves you right, you low-life. Shadow thinks to himself.

Vegeta’s next fight is with Magetta, Champa made their fight a cage match. After a while it was unbearably hot and Vegeta fired a ki wave to destroy the cage exposing the heat to all the spectators. Vegeta then fired a Final Flash while calling Megetta “a walking pile of scrap!” Vegeta won the fight. During Vegeta's match with Cabba, as Vegeta begins toying with Cabba, Yamcha shows some doubt that Vegeta has rid himself of all of his sinister qualities, but Goku and Piccolo dismiss him saying that “Vegeta is trying to draw out Cabba’s true power.” They are proven right when they see Vegeta acting as a prince and mentor to Cabba once he learns to transform into a Super Saiyan. The fight ends with Vegeta as the victor, as Vegeta leaves, Shadow watches as Vegeta forges a new bond. After Vegeta loses to Hit, Shadow smirks as Goku figures out Hit's abilities and starts predicting where Hit is going to be and what he’s going to do. Hit begins to fight seriously and Goku responds by going Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken x10. After a few more attacks are traded, Goku and Hit have one final clash, the match ends with Goku forfeiting. As Goku powers down, he receives an immense amount of pain and collapses. Shadow takes his turn in the tournament when he is to face Hit, Shadow goes Super Saiyan 4 and uses a Time Skip/Hawk Charge to knock Hit out of the ring, declaring Universe 7 the winner. He must’ve let me win, that was TOO easy. Shadow thinks to himself. As Champa is about to destroy his Zeno, the Omni-King makes an appearance, the gods and angels all bow in his presence and Goku goes to greet him. While that’s going on, Trunks goes to Shadow and asks him, “Please teach me how to become Super Saiyan 4! I have to get stronger, much stronger!” “Okay, just wait until we’re back on Earth.” Shadow replies. Once back on Earth, the Galaxy Soldiers take Trunks to an uninhabited island. As Shadow activates a capsule, he tells Trunks that, “The only way to become Super Saiyan 4 is to gain sentience while in the Great Ape form.” Shadow pulls out a portable Blutz Wave Generator. Shadow activates the generator on Trunks and for one full day, earthquakes and a monstrous roar could be felt and heard for miles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One month after the tournament with Universe 6, Shadow is on a date with Zangya, he’s is enjoying himself, but their date is interrupted by a jealous #18. As #18 and Zangya are about to get violent, Shadow senses power god ki and evil intent coming from the same source and it’s heading to Earth. Shadow thinks to himself, What is this evil power...?! Dark clouds are forming for miles and Merged Zamasu descends from them. This iteration of Zamasu doesn’t even exist in this timeline, HOW IS HE HERE?!! Shadow thinks to himself as Zamasu telepathically announces to the world, “HEAR ME, MORTALS! YOU SHALL ALL KNOW JUSTICE!” Fused Zamasu prepares to fire a Divine Wrath, he is pierced by a Special Beam Cannon, Shadow looks to the source of the beam and sees Piccolo, but something different. His eyes are blue and there’s god ki emanating from him. Shadow smirks, He must’ve become a Namakian God. As Shadow goes SS4, Gohan in his Potential Unleashed charges Fused Zamasu and fires a Super Kamehameha. Shadow then tells #18 and Zangya, “You can help us out by getting the bystanders to safety.” and flies off to face Fused Zamasu as he’s just grabbed Gohan’s leg and channeled energy into the leg, breaking it. Shadow kicks Fused Zamasu into the air, releasing Gohan; Shadow catches Gohan and heals him. Fused Zamasu goes to dice Shadow and Gohan, but is hit from behind by a Burning Attack from Trunks while he’s in his Super Saiyan 4 state. Enraged Fused Zamasu activates his Wall of Light and has it use Lightning of Absolution.

In the aftermath of Fused Zamasu’s last attack, Shadow senses that #18 and Zanya are safe and they got all the innocents to safety. Shadow sighs with relief and goes to heal the others. Fused Zamasu fires his Blades of Judgement and Shadow and Trunks charge at him while dodging the energy blades and fire both a x10 Kamehameha and a x10 Buster Cannon point blank at the Wall of Light, destroying it. Fused Zamasu goes and cuts down Gohan and Piccolo only to find out that they were both Afterimages, the real Piccolo and Gohan appear on both sides of Fused Zamasu and fire a Dual Light Grenade. Each time one of us manages to damage Fused Zamasu, he quickly heals and gains a zenkai boost. We need Tien. Shadow realizes. He breaks away from the fight uses Instant Transmission to get both Tien and a special steel pot designed to last for a LONG TIME. Shadow tells Tien, “Wait, for us to weaken him so you can seal him away.” As Shadow says this, Fused Zamasu uses his time ring to summon a version of Omega Shenron and forces his potara ring onto Shenron’s ear and they fuse into Omega Zamasu. Goku, Vegeta appear minutes later along with Beerus and Whis, Goku and Vegeta put on the potara earrings and fuse into Vegito. Vegito powers up to Super Vegito and then powers up even further into SSB. Shadow and Trunks both power down and get into position, they both chant, “FU-SION HA!” There’s a flash of light and in Shadow and Trunk’s place stands a new warrior. This warrior’s first words are, “EPIC! Let’s see now, Trunks plus Shadow... EQUALS SHANKS!!!” Shanks transforms into SS4 and yells, “NOW I’M SUPER SHANKS!!” The three fusions have a brief standoff, the tension is so thick you could bite into it…
“I will end all life in the multiverse and then create new life and rule over them as their ONE. TRUE. GOD!” Omega Zamasu declares as he fires both a Divine Wrath and a Minus Energy Ball at the heroes. SSB Vegito kicks the Divine Wrath back at Omega Zamasu while SS4 Shanks absorbs the Minus Energy ball and counters with a x10 Final Kamehameha. Omega Zamasu is by both attacks and is then quickly being overwhelmed as the two warriors begin to speed blitz him. From the perspective of the others watching, it looks as if Omega Zamasu is being thrown around like a ragdoll by the air itself. Shanks then punches a hole in Omega Zamasu’s chest, he heals, Vegito cuts off his head with the Spirit Sword, Omega Zamasu heals. Both Vegito and Shanks continue to speed blitz Omega Zamasu while delivering what would be considered instant coup de grâce to anyone who wasn’t immortal or didn’t have a good healing factor. The battle ends with Vegito and Shanks appearing on either side of Omega Zamasu and both wind up for one mean punch. As their punches make contact, Omega Zamasu’s head turns into a thin, red paste and Vegito and Shanks’ punches collide against each other, causing a powerful shockwave that blows back the other warriors. The two fusions step back and defuse, as Omega Zamasu’s head begins to regenerate, Beerus comes and performs the Hakai technique. Now Omega Zamasu’s head is in a permanent circular state of destruction and regeneration. Tien proceeds to perform the Evil Containment Wave and seals Omega Zamasu inside the steel pot, Shadow puts the sealing tags on the pot and opens a small portal into the Dead Zone. The pot is then thrown into the Dead Zone. The clouds begin to part, revealing the sun and Whis gleefully says, “Job well done, everyone! Let’s go over to Bulma’s and have a huge party to celebrate.” “They’d better have cream puffs.” Beerus retorts. Everyone laughs as they head for Capsule Corp.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in another part of the world, a woman with messy, brown hair and glasses is repairing a man shaped weapon. She thinks out loud to herself, “She’s mad with hunger. She needs to be stopped or the whole world will be in danger.”

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Killstealer
Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.
