The peaceful forest road.
Birds chirping.
Bulma still staring at Silver like he escaped from a circus.
Silver adjusting his hair dramatically.
Then—
BOOM!!!
Something smashed into the side of the car.
The entire vehicle flipped.
Bulma screamed.
Silver screamed louder.
The car rolled twice and stopped upside down.
Silver crawled out from under a tire.
"…I just reincarnated and I'm already dead."
A small voice echoed.
"Wow! This monster is weird!"
Silver slowly turned his head.
There he was.
Wild hair,Tail and with the Innocent face.
Holding a giant fish.
It was Goku.
Silver's brain short-circuited.
"He really punched it…"
Just like in the original story, Goku walked toward the wrecked car.
"Are you guys okay, are you Monster?"
Bulma burst out of the flipped car, furious.
"I'M NOT A MONSTER!"
Goku blinked.
"…You can talk?"
Silver crawled up dramatically and pointed.
"IT'S HIM! HE'S THE MONSTER! HE HAS A TAIL!"
Goku gasped.
"You don't have tail?!"
Bulma froze.
"…Tail?"
She slowly looked at Bulma.
Bulma, panicking like in the manga, pulled out a gun.
Silver's eyes widened.
"Oh yeah. This happens."
She fired.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The bullets hit Goku.
Smoke cleared.
Goku scratched his head.
"Ow… that stings."
Bulma's jaw dropped.
Silver peeked out slowly.
"Yep. Still bulletproof. Definitely early Dragon Ball."

[Ichigo Template +0.02%]
Silver froze.
"WAIT WHAT? I just watched and gained progress??"
Bulma explained Dragon Balls.
Showed the radar.
Goku showed the four-star ball.
Everything followed original events.
Silver stood in background like unpaid extra.
But internally?
His brain was running at 300%.
"If I follow them, I get Roshi training."
"If I get Roshi training, I get massive physical growth."
"If I grow physically, templates increase."
He stepped forward dramatically.
"Allow me to join this legendary quest!"
Bulma blinked.
"…Why?"
Silver struck a pose.
"For justice."
Pause.
"For adventure."
Pause.
"For… research purposes."
Bulma narrowed eyes.
"You're suspicious."
Goku smiled innocently.
"You seem fun! Let's go!"
Silver internally cried.
"HE ACCEPTED ME. THE MAIN CHARACTER ACCEPTED ME."

Silver whispered:
"…This system rewards nonsense."
Walking to Goku's House
They followed Goku to his home.
Bulma asked about Grandpa Gohan.
Goku explained he died.
Silver stayed quiet.
He knew the truth.
He glanced at the sky.
"Early arcs are dangerous but manageable."
Then Goku suddenly turned.
"Hey Silver!"
Silver jumped.
"Y-Yes?!"
"You're weak, right?"
Bulma laughed.
Silver's pride shattered.
"I am currently in sealed potential mode!"
Goku tilted his head.
"Want to spar?"
System notification:
{ [Opportunity for combat growth detected.] }
Silver gulped.
Power Level: 5.
Opponent: Kid Goku.
Power Level: Definitely not 5.
"…Sure."
Bulma stepped back.
Goku smiled.
"Okay!"
He lightly tapped Silver's shoulder.
Silver flew backwards into a tree.
Tree cracked.
Silver slid down slowly.
"…I saw my ancestors who I don't even know."
System notification:

Silver, face planted in dirt:
"…Worth it."
Night fell.
They stayed at Goku's house.
Bulma shower scene about to happen (Silver trying not to be obvious).
Silver looked at the moon.
He smirked.
"Let's see what happens when a perverted human with anime knowledge enters Dragon Ball."
Far above, the moon shined quietly.
And the story of Dragon Ball continued…
With one extra idiot added to the cast.
