In the Dragon Ball universe, in an unknown galaxy…On Planet Vegeta.
On this day, deep within the heart of the Saiyan royal palace, King Vegeta had summoned all the mid-class warriors of the planet.
And the reason?
To discuss the fate of a single infant.
A Saiyan knelt before the throne, his voice tense with humility."Your Majesty, forgive my boldness… but I heard you intend to send my son, Broly, to a frontier world?"
"That's correct," King Vegeta said from the high dais, his tone cool and commanding.
"B-But Your Majesty, I've heard the destination is a desolate place called Vampa! That planet's a wasteland—it has nothing!"
"Your son possesses frightening potential," the king replied sharply. "Power that could one day endanger the stability of our race. I'm merely exiling him—not executing him. You should be thanking me, Paragus."
"W-What?!"
Paragus rose to his feet, fists clenched, fury burning in his eyes.
"Damn you, King Vegeta! You're just jealous—afraid that my son's strength will threaten your son's place on the throne! You—!"
King Vegeta sneered. "And so what if I am? As we speak, your son's pod has already been launched."
"What?!"Paragus rushed to the window in a panic, frantically searching the launch pads below—
But… nothing. No sign of any departing ship.
At that moment, the palace doors burst open.
A figure stormed in."Paragus, relax. I stopped Broly's ship before it launched."
"You—! Who are you?!"
Everyone in the royal court turned, stunned. Paragus was bewildered—but none were more shocked than King Vegeta himself, who sprang up from his throne, eyes blazing with fury.
"Lynx?! You dare return?!"
The man who entered was Lin Chen—or rather, that had been his name in a past life.
Now, he was known as Lynx, a wanted Saiyan warrior. The reason?Four years ago, after awakening with the memories and soul of another life, Lynx had defied the king's orders and vanished without a trace.
"Lynx!" King Vegeta roared. "You disobeyed my command and deserted your post! Now you come crawling back?! Are you here to die?!"
Lynx gritted his teeth. "I came back to warn you. Frieza's coming—to wipe out the Saiyans. If we don't prepare, Planet Vegeta will be destroyed."
Silence fell.
The mid-class warriors froze, eyes wide. Even Paragus was struck dumb.
Then—
Laughter.
The court erupted in disbelief.
Saiyans, after all, were Frieza's loyal enforcers. Why would he ever destroy them?
Lynx snorted. As expected, they didn't believe him. Maybe only Bardock would've listened. But Lynx hadn't endured four years of hiding and training just to be mocked.
"Shut it—all of you!" Lynx's voice boomed across the hall.He pointed straight at King Vegeta. "Saiyans follow strength. If I can't convince the court, I only need to convince the one in charge."
"By the laws of the Saiyans… I challenge your right to rule!"
"What?!" King Vegeta's eyes went wide.
Lynx continued, "Everyone knows your throne exists because your grandfather, Vegeta the First, conquered the Tuffles and took this world. But the Saiyan way has always been simple—the strongest rules."
"So here and now—I challenge you, King Vegeta. If I win, I become king!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, one of the mid-class warriors leapt forward."You dare speak to King Vegeta that way?! You'll have to go through me first!"
"Out of my way." Lynx didn't even look at him. His gaze never left the king. "Unless you're afraid to accept the challenge?"
"Fool!"Veins bulged across King Vegeta's forehead."You're just a low-class warrior, Lynx! You think you can stand against me? Fine! I accept! I'll show everyone what happens when you insult the king!"
"Hah!"
King Vegeta let out a fierce shout and shot off the dais, energy blazing around him like a comet as he hurtled toward Lynx.
But—
WHAM!
His fist stopped.
Dead still.
Blocked… by a single finger.
"Wha—?!"
King Vegeta's face twisted in disbelief. He'd put his full strength into that punch—and Lynx had stopped it… with one finger?
"I… I'm the king of Saiyans…!"
King Vegeta staggered back, pulling both hands together and unleashing a full-powered energy blast with everything he had.
Lynx flicked it away with one finger.
The blast pierced the palace roof and exploded high in the atmosphere—BOOM!
The explosion rocked the sky. Saiyans from all over the capital came rushing to see what had happened.
"Why… why?!" King Vegeta stammered, shaken to the core.
Lynx remained expressionless.
"I've spent the last four years fighting tooth and nail for this moment. You've been sitting comfortably on your throne. You really thought you could match me?"
"B-But your scouter… your power level was only 2,000!"
King Vegeta's scouter had shown that number the entire time.
"That thing can't read hidden power. I know how to control my ki now. My real power level… is ten times yours."
"T-Ten times?!"
The room gasped.
100,000?!
A low-class warrior… with 100,000 power level?
Impossible.
Impossible!
"Lies! There's no way a weakling like you—!"
But Lynx vanished.
In an instant, he appeared behind the king—
—and with a single punch, knocked King Vegeta out cold.
The king collapsed.
Lynx reached down, pulled off the royal crest necklace from the king's neck, and held it high.
Then, he stepped forward and sat upon the throne.
"Starting today… I am the new king of the Saiyans!"
It had taken four years in the Dragon Ball world to reach this moment.
And now… everything could begin.
His true mission: kill Frieza and save Planet Vegeta.
Why?
Because from the moment he arrived in this world, he'd been bound to a system—The Ultimate Choice System.
And his first set of options were clear:
Option 1: Defeat Frieza, prevent Planet Vegeta's destruction. Reward: Legendary Saiyan Bloodline.
Option 2: Defeat the Supreme Kai. Reward: Power of the Supreme Kai.
Option 3: Defeat a God of Destruction and stop Planet Vegeta's destruction. Reward: Power of Destruction.
