DBZ: POLL
Who will be the big bad of the next arc? The biggest threat our protagonist will have to face?FriezaCoolerKing Cold King Vegeta
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH39
[Escarot POV]I…I don’t even know how to begin explaining what happened.One second I was on the ship, mid-image training. I'd just managed to land a perfect counter on fake-Frieza. The next, something tore through the training pod like it was made of wet paper, grabbed me like I was the last pringle in the can b...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH38
[Escarot POV]It was going to take almost a year to reach Planet Vegeta.Twelve months, give or take, of doing absolutely jack besides sitting, sleeping, watching the same old view, and trying not to go insane inside a tin can flying through space.Fun.But what can you do about it? We were cruising nonstop, no pit stops, ...

Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH37
[Merus POV]Missing complete.I walked through the quiet hallway of my ship, the hum of the engines the only thing filling the silence.So far, I was adjusting well to life as a mortal. Every day was something new, something to learn, making this entire experiment worthwhile in my opinion.But something about this latest e...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH36
[Escarot POV]Today started like most days on this planet; waking up, stretching, checking Okara wasn’t trying to steal my leftovers… and then heading out to get ingredients for the food of the day.You couldn’t train properly without the right kind of fuel, and Saiyan fuel requirements were... excessive. I’m tal...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH35
[Escarot POV]Three weeks into Okara’s Great Ape training and I was back to just sparring with her, leaving her transformation lessons on hold for now. Too much of anything was bad. And I knew first hand how exhausting it was to train that, non-stop.Okara rushed me again, her hair whipping behind her, as she darted f...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH34
[Escarot POV]Okara had made progress these past weeks. Problem was… it was not quite the kind of progress I’d hoped for.She was in Great Ape form; huge, furry, mostly angry; and she wasn’t destroying everything, but her control was minimal. She wasn’t aimless, exactly… more like a… giant furry baby.“Garli...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH33
[Escarot POV]It took us eight months to get to the planet Garlik had picked.Eight months inside those demonic spherical ships we Saiyans for some reason seem to be so fond of, honestly, I can’t wait to get a bigger ship, even sleeping for most of the trip, and the ride was still awful.Anyways, the planet Garlik had c...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH32
[Escarot POV]And just liek that, the sky was finally clear. Sort of.No more creeping black clouds. Just a dull, sickly-red hue breaking through the upper atmosphere. It wasn’t pretty, but after all the crap this planet had endured, it was probably heaven for the few remaining locals.“So… are we still leaving?” ...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH31
[Escarot POV]“You are going to regret every damn second of this shit!” I screamed, clenching my fists. “I will make sure of it!”Why am I so angry?I know this is annoying, hell, it’s extremely fucking annoying; but my reaction feels... disproportionate. Out of sync with the actual situation. I’ve taken worse...

Love you all.Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Fenrir.Transforms the user into the legendary wolf Fenrir, a towering beast of pure destruction and elemental st...
One Piece: Mom's Ideas.
This are the ideas my mom has for the background of our protagonist. Please keep in mind my mom's knowledge of the show is rather limited, so to avoid spoiling her.I edited a few of her ideas so that they fit the plot, but the general thought behind them remains the same.EnslavedPremise: The MC is reborn as a child...
Author Note: Update.
Hey everyone,I’ve been meaning to write this for a while, but honestly… I wasn’t sure where to start. A lot has happened since my last post about this, some good, a lot bad; and things have been rather overwhelming.The good news: My mom is almost done with her radiation treatment. Her last session is scheduled fo...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH30
I flew past the mountains and back to our camp. The current of the wind howled in my ears as we flew fast enough to punch through clouds.The sooner we left this planet, the better."Can you tell me why we’re running away?" she called from just off my right flank, she was annoyed, insulted at the fact we were r...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH29
[Escarot POV]As we neared the location of the tower where the so-called evil king was supposed to be, I started to question the wisdom of our current course.I hadn’t exactly thought this through. At first, the whole thing seemed like a favor with zero risk. After all, the math was simple; Motei was weak, and if his c...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH28
[Escarot POV]I kept my stance loose, breathing steady as Okara circled me for another attempt.We’d been sparring for a while. Long enough that sweat coated her forehead, even with the cold air. Not bad. Her ki control was improving.Still had a long way to go though.She lunged again, fast and loud. I ducked under her ...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH27
[Escarot POV]I woke up to the same pitch-black nothingness as before.It took me a few seconds of blinking, thinking I was still asleep to remember where I was. The planet that despite having multiple suns, was incredibly cold, and covered in seemingly endless darkness. This place was weird.Even after a good night’s r...
Author Note: I'm back.
I'm back. Sorry for the lack of updates, in general.I had a lot of things to do this month in regards of my mom's condition.I had to make sure her treament started as soon as possible, due to the aggressive nature of her tumor (GBM 4). She started treament this past friday the 25th, starting her first session o...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH26 (Rewritten)
[Escarot POV]Five years to complete the mission.I’d done it in less than one.Now… what?Originally, I had planned to head to Yadrat after Namek. Pick up some techniques. Instant Transmission maybe, if luck was on my side. But that plan hit a wall fast—turns out, Yadrat wasn’t even on the damn star maps yet. Pro...
Biopsy Summary
The biopsy came back.My mother was diagnosed with a Grade 4 glioblastoma (GBM) following surgery on March 27, we got the results yesterday. • The tumor is IDH-wildtype (no IDH mutation) • It is also MGMT-unmethylated, meaning it may respond less strongly to standard chemotherapy • She is currently recovering and ...
Final Update: MOM.
They are discharging my mom from the hospital tomorrow.We still haven’t gotten the results from Biopsy, but she looks better. Her leg is worse, but that is to be expected, and she will need physical therapy. But they managed to remove all of the tumor.Now that things are getting back to normal. I will resume updates ...
UPDATE: SURGERY

I’ll be updating this post as things progress so you can stay in the loop. Thanks for your patience and support—it means a lot.Love you all, and thanks once more. UPDATE # 2The surgery...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH25
[Escarot POV.]A few days had passed since I killed Slug. Felt like longer.The sky over Namek was green again. Back to its usual… Calm. Quiet. Peaceful tune.Didn’t suit me at all. Too much zen for my liking. I stood outside Guru’s house, arms crossed, tail lazily flicking behind me. The breeze was light, the suns ...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH24
[Escarot POV]As soon as the power ball hit the air. The power surged through me.My muscles tensed, my skin burned, my bones ached as my body expanded, fur spreading across my entire body. My breathing grew heavier, deeper, and my vision sharper, as energy crackled around me, demanding to be unleashed.Transformation com...
Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH23
[Escarot POV.]I woke up.Not suddenly. Not with a jolt or a gasp like some kind of dramatic idiot clawing his way back to life. I just… opened my eyes.Which was weird. And a bit anticlimatic.Because last I checked, I had a hole in my chest the size of my fist. And I had little hopes about surviving, considering the on...
UPDATE: PROOF-READERS.
I will return to posting tomorrow.Couldn't make it on Tuesday for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I had to do a lot of stuff to organize my schedule to work around the current situation, and still be able to write, and work, etc etc, so see you all tomorrow. Thursday, 13 of Marchwith the chapters, I apologize ...
