The Hunt Begin

'Well this is rare, Eta hardly visits me, especially in my Cid perona... Unless it's to experiment on me...'

In a rather ordinary-looking bedroom, two specific individuals can be seen in said room, currently engaged in a conversation with one another.

"To see you here personally, must mean you have something important to report to me?"

One of the two was a young-looking man in his early teens, who seemed to be dressed in a school uniform; he had short, black hair, narrow silver-black eyes, and was currently sitting on his bed, acting as if he were in control. He was known as Cid Kageno, aka Lord Shadow. In his mind, despite how he was acting now, he was beyond confused and curious about what was happening.

"... I humbly request... Your help on something... Interesting..."

The second person was a young woman, around the same age, with elven ears, long brown hair, tired purple eyes, and she was adorned in a slimy bodysuit with a stylized cloak and scarf; she was known as Eta, and she was currently kneeling and bowing before her Lord, who was listening to what she had to say.

"Hm, please continue then."

'I swear to God, if it's you wanting to cut me open again...'

Even though Cid was willing to listen, he was preparing to spank "The Desire To Research And Cut Him Open To See How He Ticks" out of her, though luckily for him, it was not needed this time, as she instead pulled something out of her slime suit and gave it to him.

"I have recently... Discover something... That can either help... Or pose a great threat... To you, Lord Shadow..."

As soon as Eta even mentioned the possibility of something being a threat to her Master, he immediately reacted to this by glaring at her; his black eyes flickered with red, and he released a presence, without using any magic, but still so strong that it was enough to make even the usually sleepy elf sit up straight and become completely tense.

"You must have a reason to say such blasphemy to me..."

'Hell Yeah! Cross out "Get Mad At Subordinate For Doubting My Strength" off the bucket list~"

Cid's mental cheer and excitement did not match his silent anger that he expressed on his face, which was all his subordinates could see and caused them to let out nervous sweats as a result.

"I-I have no doubt or question about your amazing strength and power!"

She accidentally yelled, forcing herself to take a moment to calm down and focus on the task at hand before resuming the conversation.

"B-But these Dragon Balls-"

"Dragon Balls? You mean the one that summons a Dragon and grants wishes?"

Before Eta could say anything else, Cid cut her off and said something that both surprised her and even himself a little.

"So you have heard of them?"

She couldn't help but look at her Lord with a disbelieving expression.

'I feel like I have? I think it's from an anime or manga I used to watch from my old world? Meh, fuck it, might as well use what little I know from that to make me sound mysterious and all knowing.'

Cid, after letting the confusion pass and taking a second to remember what little he knew of his past life, cleared his throat and prepared to speak to the now very awake elf.

"Several 100 years ago, maybe even close to a 1000 years ago, there was a nameless child that came from beyond the stars and landed in our home world, their origin unknown, purpose unknown, even their name was unknown, for so most of their life, that all they will ever know, until one day, when they met the many lives in our world, they met the good, the bad, and the ugly, and because of meeting such people, the nameless has decided to learn and test us, to see how far our good and bad will take us, which lead to the creation of the Dragon Balls, which was not made out of generosity, but as a way to test us, and to see whether or not we would risk everything, whether in ourselves or on others, to make a wish come true."
