Chapter 1: The End, The Gift, The Beginning

Tokyo, Earth – Final Day
Kenji Takahashi was the definition of "unremarkable."
Twenty-four years old. No job. No girlfriend. An overweight otaku whose greatest achievements were platinum trophies and full hentai collections. He wasn't malicious. Just… drifting.
But the world doesn't let even the quiet fade easily.
BANG.
Tires screeched. A flash of light.
Then—nothing.

The Void Between Realms
He woke to floating.
Pitch-black space. Silent. Infinite.
A voice, smooth and echoing like wind through glass, broke the void.
> "Welcome, Kenji. You died. But you, unlike most, caught my attention."
Kenji turned—there was no body, just… awareness. A vast figure of shifting energy loomed before him.
> "I am ROB. Random Omnipotent Being. And I'm bored."
"…So you're gonna send me to another world?"
> "Three wishes. One life. Entertain me."
Kenji smirked, all hesitation gone. "Then I want to be reborn as Son Goku—but with all my current memories and a brilliant mind."
> "Interesting. Continue."
"I want full mastery and evolution of biokinetic powers—muscle, tissue, blood, bone, regeneration, even aura and energy control. To mix it with ki."
> "Deliciously overpowered… if developed properly. One more."
"I want the ability to draw women to me naturally. Emotionally, physically, spiritually. Those I take… should love me. Obsess over me. Be mine forever."
ROB laughed—a sound that shook the stars.
> "Done. Don't disappoint me, Kenji Takahashi. Or should I say… Kakarot?"

Planet Vegeta – Year 732
The wailing of infants filled the incubation halls.
But one pod was silent.
A child floated, eyes open—conscious. He remembered everything. Earth. ROB. His wishes. His purpose.
> "This… is going to be fun."
His Saiyan body already felt different. Stronger. Responsive. His cells hummed with potential. Biokinesis was subtle at first—like flexing phantom limbs—but he could feel it:
The density of his bones.
The elasticity of his muscles.
The warmth of his blood.
The expansion of his lungs under high gravity.
And… how his ki trembled near his skin.
The fusion would take time. But he would become something new. Not Goku. Not Kenji. Something greater.

Age 3 – Home of Gine and Bardock
Gine watched her son with growing confusion.
He never cried. Never whined. He walked early, fought early, spoke with a calm that no child had.
"Kakarot… what are you?" she whispered.
He simply smiled. "Your son."
He trained alone. Outside. In darkness. Not by screaming like the others—but in stillness, focus, isolation.
Every night he manipulated his body under gravity:
Shrinking and expanding muscle fibers.
Thickening bone density.
Sharpening senses.
Using ki to monitor blood flow, scan his body's limits.
He didn't punch boulders. He tuned himself.

At dinner, Bardock talked of missions. War. Casualties.
Kakarot asked questions. Tactical ones. Psychological ones.
"You talk like a commander," Bardock muttered. "Not a child."
Kakarot's smile didn't reach his eyes. "I'll command far more than units, one day."
Gine laughed uneasily. But that night, she watched her son too long. His posture. His voice. His aura.
And she dreamed of hands around her waist and warmth that shouldn't belong to a boy of three.
When she woke up flushed, Kakarot was already up—training shirtless under the moons. Muscles rippling. Sweat glistening.
Her heart thudded traitorously.

Biokinetic Progress – Age 4
Muscular control allows Kakarot to shift his body density to resist impacts.
He accelerates regeneration by directing blood to injured tissue.
He enhances his brain's speed—processing power, short-term memory, ki sensing.
He uses ki to stimulate nerve growth and muscle expansion during rest.
He's developed a technique to harden skin by layering muscle tension and biokinetic flow.
He names it: Cell Armor. Crude now—but promising.
