Dragon Ball Z: The Beast Within - CH63

[Escarot POV]

Cooler was far more dangerous than I ever anticipated.

Frieza and King Cold? Sure—monsters, tyrants, arrogant freaks with no moral compass. But their overall character made sense. Their patterns were predictable. You knew how to avoid provoking them, how to stay alive, how to play them.

Cooler?

[Escarot POV]

My eyes snapped open to the smooth blue glow of the healing fluid.

For a moment, I just floated there—weightless, suspended, and… honestly? Feeling fantastic.


The ache, the cracks, the internal screaming of every bone in my body were gone. Mostly.

I had no idea how long I’d been inside the pod. Min...

[Escarot POV]

When consciousness finally decided to crawl back into my battered skull, the first thing I noticed was pain.

Everywhere.

A deep, bone-deep ache, the kind that made me feel like someone had pulled me apart, slapped the pieces back together out of order, and called it “training.”

Which, to be fair, wasn’...

I couldn’t feel my arms.

That was the first thing I noticed.

Not the blood in my mouth. Not the ringing in my ears. Not the fact that my spine felt like it had been reassembled.

No—just the simple realization that my arms weren’t responding.

Probably because Beerus had hit me with e...

I stood on the training arena outside the palace—the one Beerus had pointed at yesterday with casual indifference.

As soon as I arrived, Beerus' eyes landed on me immediately.

“Well,” he said, stretching lazily, “Time to train you for the day.”

“Forever grateful, Lord Beerus,” I replied, bowin...

[Escarot POV]

The moment Cold’s ship pulled away and their ki signatures finally thinned into the distance, I let myself breathe again.

I walked back into the palace, the stupid cloak dragging across the cracked tiles from the flagship’s landing blast. Advisors hovered near the hall entrance, staring at me like I had just negotiated peace with...

“…And where,” King Cold said, “is King Vegeta?”

There it was.


The question I’d been waiting for.


I inhaled once, steady and quiet.

“I killed him.”

Behind Cold, Frieza let out a soft little laugh—one of those high, childish giggles he does when he hears something he think...

[King Cold Flagship]

King Cold stood in the observation deck, hands folded neatly behind his back, his cloak draped across the polished metal floor like a curtain. Through the thick reinforced glass, Planet Vegeta loomed into view. A dead red rock spinning in the void, barely more than a dust ball with delusions...

NEWS: READ

I will be posting the chapters I owe you all per the schedule I said, 3-4 chapters a week tomorrow.

I didn't have the time to write due to being sick, and having to take care of my mom who got an infection, it was a whole ordeal. But a promise is a promise, and thankfully, I didn't set an unrealistic goal.

I will try to post the 6-8 chapters tomorrow, around 7-9 EST time.

Worse case scenario, you get half tomorrow, haft Saturday.

[Escarot POV]

I had to start planning again.

The original plans were… gone.

I didn’t even realize how much I was banking on staying in the shadows until the spotlight burned me alive. The idea had been simple: play dumb, play quiet, grow strong, avoid the real monsters until I had a shot at actually facing them.

[Escarot POV]

I stood in the throne room, silent.

The room smelled like smoke, blood, and piss.

Most of the guests had cleared out the second the King's brains hit the back wall. The smarter ones left even before that. Now it was just me, the still-smoking corpse of King Vegeta, and the God of Destruction and his flamboy...

Broly finally fell asleep in my arms.

Not suddenly. Not peacefully either. His breathing slowed in increments, his grip loosening one finger at a time like he was afraid I'd disappear if he let go. Part of me wanted him to hold tighter. Part of me needed to break free. His ki stopped lashing outward and curled inward instead...

I don’t waste time in the nursery unless I have to. The air stinks here. The scientists here scurry like rodents—muttering to themselves, clutching their tablets, terrified of making eye contact. As they should be.

I’m here for one thing.

To check on my heir.

My son. My legacy.

I perched on the edge of a nearby building, legs crossed, arms resting on my knees, and a stick of what passed for candy in this dustball of a planet hanging loosely from my lips.

Below, two small Saiyans traded blows in a half-destroyed courtyard, as others cheered on.

“Escarot, you have been summoned.”

I glanced up at the two palace guards standing at my doorstep like they had anything better to do with their lives. Their armor looked freshly polished, too new… almost as if they had never fought a day of their lives.

“Did he say why?” I asked, not really expecting an answer.

“King’s orders,” one of them said flatly.

Pretty much what I expected. View Post

Was there a book out there to diagnose if a baby was a potential psychopath?

You know, something like “So Your Child Is The Legendary Super Saiyan and Might Snap a Spine by Age Four: A Practical Guide to Not Dying.”

Because if there was, I needed a copy. Urgently.

Just got home.

I will post the chapters in a few. I’ve decided following the advice of a few of you to post one daily to take a week to… think about what to do with my mom.

Good news is you’ll have chapters for a whole week.

On other good news, my mom was accepted in a clinical trial. Which seems promising.

For those that can’t wait, PM me, and I’ll dm ya the chapters in advance, I’m mostly doing this to keep peace of mind.

Chapters: This 30th, see ya then.

Hey everyone,

As some of you already know, things have been rough lately—my mom’s back in the hospital, and the chemo isn’t working.

I’m not here to make excuses. I owe you chapters, and I’ll deliver.

Given everything that’s been happening, I don’t have as many as I’d like—right now I’ve got eight. I’ll be home on the 30th, and I’ll post them all then. I’ll go back afterward to clean up the grammar and polish them.

This girl was… strange.

There wasn’t another word for it. Or if there was, I hadn’t learned it yet.

I’d met a lot of weirdos since all this started. But this girl? Different breed entirely.

Not in a power sense—though her energy was suspiciously clean, like unnaturally refined; but in the way s...

A new timeline had been born.

That alone should have sent alarms ringing across the Chrono Vault. But oddly enough, it didn’t. No distortion alarms. No shrieking warning lights. Not even a hiccup from the Time Scrolls.

That was the first red flag.

Timelines don’t just happen. Not the big ones. Not the "brea...

Returning to this house was… weird.

Not emotional. Not nostalgic. Just weird.

Mostly because I barely remembered the place. And what I did remember wasn’t exactly something worthwhile. Four visits in my entire life, and most of them I was too injured to appreciate the decor.

Arriving back on Planet Vegeta didn’t feel the way I expected it to. Nor did it take nearly as much time as I had expected.

One second, we were floating just outside the Destroyer’s Temple. The next, boom, we were standing on dirt again—Vegeta’s dirt, the reddish-brown cracked kind that seemed to stretch as far as the eye co...

Smiling and a bit surprised, Escarot wiped the blood out of his mouth, looking at the back of his hand for a moment, as if in awe, before readying himself for battle.

Not just using it. Not just blasting it, punching with it, using it to roast hornet wings.

But the why behind it. How it works.

I was starting to think Whis had ditched me. Just snapped his fingers and dumped me in some godforsaken corner of the universe to die.

Maybe I had pissed him off somehow.

Maybe he had sent me here just to suffer a long, absurd bug-filled existence until I learned… something. What exactly I was supposed to learn wasn’t clear yet, but consider...
