'I really need to decide what perk to get. I could get the Anomaly one, I have a few guesses as to what that is. Or maybe Future Sight. But that might not be good. Ooh! Maybe Magician, that would be cool.' I paused as I reached the bottom of the list.

Evolved Gamer: Your Gamer powers are enhanced, giving improved Gamers Body and Gamers Mind skills.

As I was selecting it, however, I was rudely interrupted by the scum of the earth. Reporters.

"Excuse me sir. Can you tell us a bit about yourself. What's your name? Where are you from? How long have you been fighting for?"

I sighed. Calm down. Breathe in. And out. Do not kill the annoying man. "My name is Glacier, last name undecided. I was born somewhere far away, I'm not exactly sure. And I've been fighting since... I don't know. I think my first fight might have been when I was around three days old."

With that I flew off, leaving the annoying man behind in shock.

'I wonder how my abilities will be different.'

"Son Goku." I called out to him as he was supported by his friends, "I have a favour to complete. I would like you to meet Chichi," I pushed the surprised girl towards him, "I believe you two met a few years ago, and technically... she is your fiancée."

"A what now?" Goku asked confused as his friends eyes bulged out of their heads.

"Uh Goku. A fiancée is someone your going to marry." Krillin awkwardly told him.

I flew off while they dealt with the aftermath. I could help but smile as I heard:

"I thought that was a type of food!"

"This is incredible!" Dr. Briefs exclaimed, tossing the scrap pieces of my scouter around, "The glass is tougher than metal, and these electronic parts..."

"Uh-huh" I responded noncommittally. Sure, I was a science nut back in my previous life, but the scientist had been gushing over the materials in the space tech salvaged from my arrival for almost three hours.

"This could revolutionise communications! You said that this could transmit messages over light years? Why the requirements for that are far beyond what I'd imagined possible. What else can this headpiece do?"

"Eh, voice communications, heat seeking, power level sensing, things like that."

"If only it was in better shape. Tell me, what happened to your ship, there almost nothing left."

I looked away, embarrassed, "I couldn't figure out how to open the door, so I blew it up."

"You did what!" Dr Briefs exclaimed, "This is faster than light travel, and you blew it up? Such a thing is so ridiculous-"

"Yeah, before you continue, can I get a job here? I don't have a place to stay, but I could reimburse you with an analysis of my biology. I'd actually like to know how I am even possible."

"What do you mean, young man? It's just science, I'm sure there is nothing impossible about you."

I smiled. Most confusing parts of me came from the gamer powers, so confusing Dr. Briefs would be so much better.

The doctor looked baffled by the end of it. He did agree to letting me live there, but I think that may be because he wants to dissect me.

Happy Birthday!

To commemorate your third birthday, you get 18 free stat points. (Age x 6)

I don't know whether some of my rewards in this game are race exclusive or what. I can't see humans becoming increasingly stronger as they age, especially not at a exponential rate. I assumed that my lack of need for sleep was a race feature, but it could have been Gamers Mind. It would be interesting to see how different races work.

On a side note, Evolved Gamer let me know a lot more information.

Name: Glacier

HP: 7000/7000 (+6.0%/min)

MP: 7000/7000 (+3.5%/min)

Level: 20 (8125/20000)

Age: 3

Title: Scientist (x2 INT based skills)

Race: Arcosian

Form: Minimal (Lv. MAX)

Stats (22 points remaining):

STR: 25

CON: 50

DEX: 50

INT: 50

WIS: 25

KI: 25

Battle Power: 7,500 (Stat Total/6 x 200)

My stat sheet didn't have much improvement, but the changes to my skills was immense. For example, Gamers Mind.

Gamers Mind (Active) - Lv. MAX

Makes the player act as if life is a game. Grants immunity to all psychological status effects and allows the player to think clearly through all situations.

ON/OFF

So much information I didn't have before. The type of ability, it's level, and for the skills that weren't maxed, experience until level up. There's also the ability to turn off Gamers Mind. I tried that once, bad idea. I had been ignoring the absurdity of my situation for THREE YEARS, and I decided to let my mind process it in a very human way. By screaming and crying. A lot.

But my panic did lead to an epiphany later on. I remember crying about how saiyans get exponentially stronger all the time, and I remembered I do too. The Gamer ability is OP as fuck, so I analysed it fully to find a loophole to exploit. And I realised, I had been hoarding stat points like no tomorrow, for no reason. It might have been a smart idea if I could gain stats efficiently by training, but that results in nothing. So I dumped most of my 105 spare stat points into my stats.

And another thing occurred to me from my higher INT. My stat points will always make my power level increase by the same amount every time. Approximately 33 BP per stat point. My gains will never diminish as long as I do quests. Unfortunately, my quests are mundane during peace time, and I won't have story quests, which give much more EXP. So I only will be getting stronger as the Earth is endangered more.

Huh, in that way I could be likened to Goku. He got berated by the fan base for being the cause of so much danger to Earth so he could get stronger. I need the planet to be endangered to get stronger.

"Your arm's overextended." I casually mentioned dodging the fist aimed at my head, "It makes it a lot easier for your opponent to do this." I thrust my hand against my opponents solar plexus, knocking the wind out of them and pushing them to the ground.

They got up glaring at me while trying to catch their breath. "That was a dirty move, captain."

"So? It's a fight, in a life or death situation, a dirty tactic may be the key to your survival." I moved my head to the side and caught a hand covered in a dark purple aura. I threw the aggressor over my shoulder, placing them next to their sibling.

"Yes! A dirty tactic like that. I think that's enough for today, you did better than before. Hikari, you have enough speed to keep an opponent off guard, but you have some flaws that can be exploited. Yuro, your style has no holes but your strength isn't up to par. Good work on that ice blade at the end. You just need to make sure you don't burn too much energy off otherwise it's easy to sense you."

They both nodded, still panting from our spar. They had both come a long way, and a part of me felt sorry for them that they could never surpass me. My growth rate was faster than theirs and I still only used my minimal state. One day they might push me to transform, but not yet. My full power wouldn't be necessary soon either. I'll probably need it against Frieza and foes after him, but before that? Vegeta as a great ape could pose a problem and cause me to transform to second or even third form and the other saiyans were much weaker.

Did they ever make it out of that place? I affected many events as shown by Coolers arrival, so I don't know if they are even alive. This was precisely the reason I chose Dragon Ball over Naruto. At least here most events will happen no matter how I change things. Just some things are a bit... extreme.

'I have noticed something odd about ki. It surrounds everything, with unique 'colours' for each creature. But it can perform feats that shouldn't be possible. Unnatural abilities can be used with ki, but ki itself is natural. Flight shouldn't be possible, but it is. You use ki to suspend yourself midair not by an equilibrium between yourself and gravity, but rather by lessening the force of gravity on yourself. Beams of light are easy to perform, just enough power on certain wavelengths to cause visible light and heat for destruction. But ki can be manipulated in a physical form that is not destructive. Take my Ice Blade. It uses energy refined to a point to separate bonds between anything in comes in contact with. But the hammer variant is blunt and has mass.

There is also a curiosity in regards to my races ability to change our physical structure to restrain energy. The minimal state is fragile and small, and with application of ki, the form can become more muscular and larger. This creation of matter should break the laws of equivalent exchange. The body is expending formless energy to create matter. The only conclusion possible is that ki is not purely energy. Ki must be physical in some way to allow this conversion, and the activation of the cells in an arcosian body releases stored power to raise our power levels.'

I sat upon a pillar of rock, meditating. I managed to get my focus to a point where I got a skill, albeit not one that I could use in combat easily.

Meditation (Active) - Lv. 1 (546/1000)

Through deep focus and inner peace, you can connect your soul with the higher plane and bring forth enlightenment. HP and MP recovery increases significantly (effect increases with level).

-Active-

In a long drawn out fight I could use it if I had some fodder, but not really any other time. But the feeling of serenity was intoxicating and it gained experience with use, so I spent time every day sitting on a rock, focusing on myself and the world around me.

Nearby, scavenger birds circled, searching for a carcass to feast on. Lizards lazed on the rocks, soaking up heat to survive the cold nights. Even plants, scattered few and far between, had actions and routines. I could feel it all, the life around me, the natural energy that all living things consumed.

I expanded my senses, circling the globe and seeking the highest powers. Some areas had large deposits of energy, cities filled with people going about their daily lives, dense forests filled with natural ki. But individuals stood out. I could sense Goku, training at his home while Chichi did housework, a smaller energy source growing within her. I could sense Hikari and Yuro, flying at high speeds either sparring or playing. I could even sense Piccolo, straining his body to near destruction in order to become more powerful.

I wondered how far my senses could go. I reached into space, feeling an energy similar to natures, but different nonetheless. It surrounded everything, no vacuums of energy in existence.

And far off, I could feel three distinct power sources travelling in a tight formation, heading towards Earth at speeds faster than light. Three powers that were close, too close.

The saiyans were coming. All three of them at once.

So... It's been a while. Giving myself deadlines is almost a guarantee for me to give up, and I did for a while. By the time I was motivated to continue this story, I had a bunch of assessments due for around three weeks, so I put this off even longer. I may have retconned the gamer abilities format a bit, but my old format was bothering me, so I made a change in the easiest spot possible. I'm looking forwards to how this story is going to progress in the future as I move to more and more familiar territory (I only watched the Goku/Piccolo fight once over 10 years ago).

There are a few questions to answer from these past few months so here we go:

Q: Maybe my previous comment was to harsh. Your other stories aren't bad not amazing either they're... nice but this is something a little dare i say it... Special, now if your character keeps his gamer powers a secret "while you the author avoids fake tension" and the fact he's from the real world this might be on the amazing side of unique. I am on chapter 4 though so...

A: I didn't realise the insult in your previous review until you pointed it out to me, but I agree. Those stories were from a different "me" and I don't like them at all. Now for the second part, I was planning on having the Gamer power a secret, but I don't see how that is unique. Most that I have read has the character keep it a secret, with a few bending the truth. The only ones I can think of are the Naruto ones and the source material.

Q: well, now I want to read a gamer SI on the pokemon world -3-

A: that was one idea I had, but the Pokemon community is brutal with their reviews so I decided I might as well develop my style in a more friendly community.

Q: "the next chapter will be another interlude, so expect that to come soon." Nearly 3 months later: Me: you lied to me

A: yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. The chapter was almost finished when you said that though. I promise I won't say that a chapter is coming soon ever again. I fully expected it to come to me as easily as the first interlude, which I wrote in two hours.

That's all for now, see ya.
