Chapter 3: Chapter 3 – Fighting Goku

 

…

Ki, that was the thing that made the difference between being able to break stone with your fists and then being able to destroy planets with a beam. Also, Ki allowed things like reading minds, flying, telekinesis, creating clones, and many more wondrous things. 

 

Yamcha didn't have a perfect memory, so he was bound to have forgotten some things he had seen in a show decades before. Still, he knew the basics about Ki. 

 

Every physical body had a limit, and Ki helped surpass that limit. It was the life energy of someone, something that every living thing could generate. Maybe even unliving creatures such as androids could use Ki too.

 

While thinking of everything he knew, Yamcha tried looking deep within himself. Trying to grasp at something, anything unfamiliar with what he was used to. He didn’t sense anything special and tried looking deeper within himself.

 

“This will take a while. But I am ready to put in the effort. After all, Rome wasn’t built in one day-”

 

He didn't know what it was, but for some reason, he almost immediately could sense the Ki within himself and even tug at it a little. Though he still wasn’t too optimistic, after all-

 

[Ki Unlocked]

 

'Okay. That was way easier than I thought it would be.'

 

Maybe it was because he was used to and experienced a normal body without Ki before, or maybe the Gamer Interface helped. Or maybe this is Yamcha's talent. He was seen as a weakling but was quite talented for a human. Though he was always overshadowed by most. 

 

==============

Name: Yamcha

Age: 16

Title: Bandit

Level 1 [EXP: 0%]

 

HP: 40/40

MP: (locked)

Ki: 22/22

 

Strength: 9

Agility: 11

Endurance: 8

(Power Level: 9)

 

Intelligence: 5

Perception: 5

Willpower: 5

(Magic Power: 5)

 

Status Points: 0

 

Description: Almost twice as strong as the normal human. In general, a weakling. 

==============

Also, there was a new skill in his skills menu. 

 

[Ki Control - Lvl 1/100]

[Basic control over your Ki and life energy. The higher the level, the better one gets. 

1% Ki Control

-1% Ki Cost on Techniques]

 

Taking a deep breath, he manipulated that Ki and spread it all around his body. Which made him get another skill.

 

[Ki Enhancement - Lvl 1/100]

[An enhancement technique that strengthens the body, and makes the user draw out all their physical power by using Ki.

Cost 10 Ki/per minute. 

Increases Strength by 5%

Increases Agility by 5%

Increases Endurance by 5%]

 

It wasn't some skill that looked like it would overpower anyone. Generally, a 5% increase in physical stats would bring my power level from a 9 to a 9.5. Still better than nothing. But also 

 

After some testing, he got up before he wasted too much Ki and wouldn't be able to use Ki Enhancement when fighting against Goku.

 

Yamcha met up with Goku, who was outside and cooking a wolf. The ex-bandit stopped in his tracks and looked in wonder as the Saiyan ate the wolf meat without even skinning it. 

 

‘Those Saiyan taste buds were made to handle many things out there.’ While contemplating that, Yamcha opened the Quest panel and looked at its newest addition. 

[Quest: Defeat Goku]

[A young man with matchless potential, that's what the young monkey-tailed kid is. Defeat him in the fight.

Rewards: 700 Exp, Dinosaur Cutter Sword.]

The rewards weren’t that relevant, even if he lost. But Yamcha was more interested in seeing just what a difference of six in power levels meant and how he could compensate for it. 

 

“Oh! You’re ready to spar!” Goku smiled. “Grandpa always taught me that it’s not good to fight. But sparring with friends is okay.”

Yamcha smiled. “I see. Your grandpa must have been a great man.”

 

He had contemplated taking a sword to the spar, but he didn’t want Goku to take out his power pole. That thing was quite the item. 

 

[Power Pole (Legendary)]

[?????? for ?????]

 

Due to his low Observation skill, the interface couldn’t read what the power pole was, but Yamcha knew its usage and how it could break metal swords. Also, its main function was to link Korin’s Tower and Kami's Lookout. 

 

“Ready! Go!” yelled out Yamcha as he noticed Puar, Oolong, and Bulma staring at them from the RV’s entrance and windows. Still, he charged with all his might, even knowing the disadvantage of lacking the original Yamcha’s experience in fighting and familiarity with the Wolf Fang Fist. 

 

Adrenaline filled his body. In his first life, Yamcha had never gotten a beating, never really been in a situation where he would need to get one. So he didn’t hold back and went all out against the Saiyan. 

 

Pow! Pow! Pow!

 

Hits landed on Goku repeatedly, and with his short legs and stubbly arms, Goku couldn’t react at all. He had been caught by surprise with Yamcha’s speed and power. Dozens of hits rained down on Goku as if they were machine guns. 

 

Yamcha ended it “HAAAA!” With a mighty roar and punched Goku in the gut. Knowing a Saiyan's psychology and physical ability, Yamcha didn’t stop with just that, as he was running out of time with his Ki Enhancement. Even as Goku fell to his knees, punches rained down on him, and an uppercut made Goku fly high. 

As Goku fell from the sky and landed on the ground, Yamcha was about to go and rain down some more punches. But, by then, he noticed that Goku wasn’t moving and was just lying on the ground.

‘Maybe I should stomp him a little more. Just in case he’s about to have a bullshit power up.’

 

[Quest Completed: Defeat Goku]

[A young man with matchless potential, that's what the young monkey-tailed kid is. Defeat him in the fight.

Rewards: 700 Exp, Dinosaur Cutter (Rare)]

 

[Dinosaur Cutter has been deposited into inventory.]

 

His heart dropped. Had he just killed Goku? That was the first thought that went through his mind, and he was damn terrified of that. He immediately approached the body when two notifications appeared in front of his eyes.

 

[You have Leveled UP]

 

[You have Leveled UP]

 

Checking for a pulse, it felt like cold water washed through Yamcha… Goku was alive.

‘Thank God!!’ Relief washed over him and the panic within his heart dissipated. 

 

“Goku!” Bulma’s panicked yell came from the RV as she rushed toward them. She looked at Yamcha, and there was no longer that wonder she felt due to his appearance. “How could you do that?!”

 

“Sorry, I thought he would be stronger,” Yamcha apologized. “But don’t worry, there only seems to be some blood coming out of his nose and a slightly swollen eye. He will be okay.”

 

“Learn to control your strength,” Bulma sighed, as anger slipped out of her when she saw that Yamcha was worried too and had gone immediately to check up on Goku too. “We should get him inside.”

 

Yamcha went and picked up Goku and brought him to one of the beds upstairs to sleep. 

 

It seemed like taking your enemy off guard gave quite an advantage. He then looked at his fists, they were a little bloody too, and it wasn’t Goku’s blood. 

 

“His face is like rock,” Yamcha winced before washing his hands with cold water and saw that some skin had peeled on his knuckles. “Seems like I went too hard to even for myself there.”

 

He had panicked and attacked Goku, thinking of him as the future legend he would be. Still, Yamcha was happy he had been able to defeat Goku at least once. Something the original was never able to do. 

As everyone went to sleep, Yamcha waited, and after that, he went outside and took a deep breath. His body was like a Game Character's, so his regeneration was much faster than a normal human's. Also, his Ki was already back to full. 

 

So he started going through the moves of the Wolf Fang Fist. The martial art was at Level 10, and having seen its usefulness, Yamcha decided to train some more with it. 

 

But before doing so, he took out a new sword from the inventory. 

[Dinosaur Cutter Sword (Rare)]

[A straight sword made to cut up creatures humanity had no chance of defeating. Created by a famous dinosaur slayer. +10 Strength when dealing with dinosaurs.]

 

It was a straight long sword, like those knights in stocky armor used in anime. A sword long enough to cover the thick necks of some big dinosaurs. Yamcha put it back in his inventory and went around to some rock formations, and using his fists, he broke them, which made his fists sting a bit. 

 

But then he picked up the boulders and started carrying them around. He wanted to try and raise his stats naturally before using his skills to do so. 

…

 

Before he knew it, a couple of dozen hours passed, and they got out of the desert, and it only kept getting hotter. While Bulma was driving, Yamcha was meditating when he heard from the second floor of the RV and heard Goku had woken up, and he muttered. “Ugh, hungry…”

 

Afterward, Goku walked down the stairs, looked at Yamcha, and smiled. “Oh, hey, Yamcha. The fight yesterday was good. I didn’t even have time to react while you beat me down.”

 

At that, Bulma sent a stink eye to Yamcha while the latter laughed nervously. The way Goku worded it made him feel like he was abusing some kid… he was only hitting him until he went unconscious. Okay, that sounded worse. 

 

Yamcha curiously used Observe on Goku. 

 

[Goku - Lvl 5]

[A strange young man with a monkey tail? His origins are mysterious, and a great power dwells within him. (PL: 13)]

 

As he had expected, Goku had grown stronger after the beatdown. 

 

‘Fucking Zenkai Boost.’

*******

A/N: Who is the real cheat here? The Zenkai Boost or the Gamer Interface? Also, I won’t be nerfing Goku and the other enemies here. 

 

Anyways, below is the progress Yamcha made after some training. When using the Wolf Fang Fist during his fight against Goku, his Power Level jumped to 12 against Goku’s 10.
