'Aaahh', grumbled Ling Tian as he opened his eyes amidst a piercing headache, his body felt as if he had not rested for an entire year .
"Where am I?" he murmured, confusion in his voice.
Taking a deep breath and looking around, he found himself surrounded by golden fields and gentle scent of fresh earth seemed to take his entire fatigue away. He sat up slowly, disoriented, his fingers brushing over soft blades of grass. There was no sign of the crowded city or hum of daily life he which he was used to—just endless open farmland beneath a sky so blue it felt otherworldly.
The peaceful scenery was suddenly interrupted by a piercing sound overhead. Ling Tian's eyes shot skyward just in time to see a blazing meteor carve a bright path through the clouds. It hurtled toward the earth, growing larger with every heartbeat, and slammed into the ground with a deafening crash sending a massive shockwave across the fields
"What just landed? Was it a meteorite—or a spaceship?"
Curious, Ling Tian approached carefully.
At the bottom of the crater, he saw a white, spherical pod.
The door slowly hissed open with a crack. A tall, muscular man stepped out. He had fierce eyes, wore unusual armor, sported long, wild black hair down his back, and a furry monkey-like tail wrapped around his waist. Over his right eye, there was a device resembling a high-tech monocular.
Ling Tian, a fan of Dragon Ball, recognized him immediately.
"It's Raditz! This is the start of Dragon Ball Z!"
As Ling Tian processed this, he questioned his own situation.
"Why the hell am I here? I wasn't in an accident. I just went to sleep after studying… and now I'm in the Dragon Ball world?"
Raditz, rising from the crater, glared at Ling Tian.
"Why are the people on this planet still alive? What is Kakarot doing?" he grumbled.
Raditz pressed his scouter. Seeing Ling Tian's power level, he sneered,
"Only a power level of five? Useless!"
In a flash, Raditz formed a ball of energy in his palm and tossed it.
The energy blast arced toward Ling Tian.
"System! Are you there?!" Ling Tian shouted in panic, as he started running away in fear. There was no response—even as the blast struck.
Boom!
He was hit by the shockwave, thrown against a rock, and lost consciousness.
Raditz glanced at him dismissively.
"How can there be such a weak species?" he scoffed.
His scouter beeped, detecting a stronger power in the distance.
"Is that Kakarot?" Raditz muttered, then flew away in that direction.
As Raditz left, a mechanical voice echoed in Ling Tian's mind.
"The host has died once.
Requirements met for system activation.
God-level Eternal System binding… Binding complete! Reviving host…"
Within seconds, Ling Tian gasped awake, confused.
"Am I... alive again?"
The voice continued.
"Resurrection successful! Distributing rewards:
Skill: Ki Blast
Skill: Flight
Skill: Ki Sensing
Skill: Kamehameha
Combat Power: 1,600
God-level combat skills
5 Senzu Beans"
"What's going on?" Ling Tian thought, startled.
The system replied,
"Host Please don't panic. I'm the God-level Eternal System. My activation was triggered along with your death."
"I freakin knew it. As a time traveler, how could I not have a golden finger. It turns out that I had to die once to activate it!", he said clearly excited.
"Damn if I had not died then would I have lived my entire life without knowing that I had you?", he complained as he thought of the scenario.
"System! What functions do you have?", he asked clearly curious about his new companion.
A mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"This system has only one function: the more times the host dies, the stronger the host becomes!"
After hearing this, Ling Tian choked and said angrily, "I... Damn it, what do you mean the more times I die, the stronger I become! Listen to what you are saying, is this human language?"
"First, this system is not human, so it does not speak human language. Second, the more times you die, the stronger you will become, and this system can revive you infinitely." ,the system responded calmly,
"Unlimited... Infinite Resurrection!!!" Ling Tian repeated in shock.
The system prompted him, "Of course, the premise is that the host cannot commit suicide and can only be killed!"
"I understand. Infinite resurrection! I can die thousands of times. Even if it's the God of Destruction Beerus, I can still defeat him with one hand!" Ling Tian began to fall into endless fantasy.
But the system quickly interrupted, speaking with contempt, "Host, please stop daydreaming! You can only receive the rewards for only up to three times you are killed by that person but after three times, there will be no more."
"Hahaha!" Ling Tian touched his head awkwardly and smiled. "I was just joking. Your system is not humorous at all."
"Three times isn't bad, it's better than once!"
"Oh, right! System! Can I check my personal information?

Ling Tian felt his heart pounding when he saw his new combat power, with this he could be at the top of the food chain for a long time on the planet.
Suppressing his excitement looking at his new his new abilities, Ling Tian decided to search for Son Goku.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, extending his awareness outward with the newly acquired skill: Ki Sensing. At first, the world around him seemed cloaked in silence, but gradually, faint ripples of energy began to emerge from the void. It was as if invisible threads of power wove through the air, pulsing with life and intent. Each aura carried its own unique signature—most calm, but some raging like storms.
Ling Tian's mind sharpened to these sensations, and soon he could clearly distinguish three distinct sources of energy. Two smaller ones danced and flared around a larger, more intense presence, all locked in a fierce struggle. The strongest aura thrummed violently, emitting waves of raw power that made his chest tighten with a mix of awe and tension.
"Goku and Piccolo must already be fighting Raditz," Ling Tian thought, excitement and urgency coiling within him.
Raising his focus, Ling Tian activated his Flight skill. The first moment his feet lifted off the ground, an overwhelming sense of freedom swept through him. It was as if the heavy weight of the earth had been lifted—not just physically but spiritually. The wind whispered past his ears, carrying away his doubts and fears. The sky, once a distant promise, now opened itself wide above him.
Flying wasn't merely movement; it was liberation. The sensation of soaring, cutting clean through the open air, ignited a joyous rush in his veins. Ling Tian felt connected to something greater—unbound by gravity or limitations—his spirit soaring alongside him.
"Flying like this feels incredible," he murmured, a smile breaking across his face.
With the wind whipping his robes and the rhythm of his heartbeat matching the thundering pulse of his Ki, Ling Tian surged forward toward the conflict. Every second brought him closer to the clash, to the moment his destiny will forever be intertwined with this world.
