Dragon-Ball AF (After-Future)

Nowhere-Dimension Arc

The Story Unfolds With The Astonishing Journey Of Goten, As He Is Thrust Into The Depths Of An Unfathomable Realm Known As The Nowhere Dimension, A Place So Remote And Mysterious That It Defies All Comprehension. This Unholy Dimension Was Never Meant To Be Witnessed By Mortal Eyes, And It Exists Outside The Boundaries Of Time, Space, And Reality. A Place Born In The Darkness Before Creation Itself, Long Before The First Breath Of Life Or The Formation Of The Multiverse. A Realm Of Absolute Void And Darkness, So Impossibly Ancient That It Terrifies Even The Gods Who Reside Within The Highest Realms. At The Very Core Of This Terrifying Expanse Of Eternal Nothingness Dwells Yūkai, The Supreme And Malevolent Ruler Of The Nowhere Dimension, A God So Terrifying And Powerful That Even The Omni-Kings Themselves Would Never Dream Of Confronting Him. Yūkai's Domain Is A Prison Beyond All Imagination, A Fortress Of Despair Designed Not To Contain Bodies, But To Shatter Souls And Crush The Hope Of Anyone Unlucky Enough To Find Themselves Trapped. No Mortal, God, Or Cosmic Being Has Ever Escaped The Iron Grasp Of Yūkai's Dimension. But For Goten, There Can Be No Other Option. His Only Goal: Escape, Against All Odds. The First Of Goten's Trials Comes As He Realizes The Full Horror Of Where He Has Been Cast. While Only A Mere Ten Hours Have Passed In The Outside World, Goten Endures Ten Agonizing Years Trapped Within This Godforsaken Abyss. In This Eternity Of Shadows, There Is No Sun, No Sky, No Ground—Only The Suffocating Blackness That Devours All Hope. There Is No Food, No Water, And Not A Single Living Soul With Whom To Share The Nightmare. Yūkai's Presence Is Everywhere, Watching From The Depths Of The Void, Waiting For The Perfect Moment To Strike, But Goten Knows That A Confrontation With The King Of Darkness Is Impossible—At Least For Now. So, He Chooses To Survive By Hiding, Slipping Between The Folds Of Darkness, Always Staying Just Out Of Yūkai's Reach. But Survival Alone Will Not Suffice. Goten Must Become Far Stronger Than He Has Ever Been. Faced With The Overwhelming Isolation And Despair Of The Nowhere Dimension, He Dives Headfirst Into A Regimen Of Unrelenting Training. His Mind And Body Are Pushed Far Beyond The Limits Of His Super Saiyan Powers. The Highest Form He Once Knew—Super Saiyan 6—Now Seems Inadequate Against The Enormity Of His Task. He Must Evolve, He Must Surpass Everything He Once Was. But There Are No Resources In This Desolate Expanse, No Tools Or Teachers To Guide Him. Goten Must Forge His Path Using Only The Fire Of His Own Willpower, His Determination To Overcome The Unconquerable. As Time Drags On, The Nowhere Dimension Unleashes Its True Torments On Him. The Realm Begins To Distort His Perception Of Reality, Bombarding Him With Visions Of His Loved Ones—His Father Goku, His Brother Gohan, And His Friends Vegeta And Trunks—But These Are Not Comforting Faces. They Are Twisted, Mocking Phantoms, Manifestations Of His Fears And Doubts, Taunting Him For His Failures, His Loneliness, And His Banishment. Goten Knows That These Are Mere Illusions, Tricks Of The Dimension Meant To Break Him. But The Psychological Assault Takes Its Toll. His Sanity Frays At The Edges As He Wrestles With His Own Guilt And Regret. Meanwhile, His Surging Power Does Not Go Unnoticed. Yūkai Himself Grows Increasingly Interested In This Mortal, This Saiyan, Who Dares To Survive In His Realm Of Darkness. But It Is Not Only Yūkai Who Stirs In The Depths Of The Nowhere Dimension. Far Older Entities, Creatures Of Pure Chaos And Madness—Beings Whose Existence Predates The Very Gods—Begin To Take Interest In Goten's Struggles. They Watch Him From The Shadows, Some Seeing Him As A Potential Pawn In Their Eternal Games, Others Viewing Him As A Threat To Their Very Existence. These Cosmic Entities Move Behind The Scenes, Manipulating The Threads Of Fate To Shape Goten's Future, But He Remains Oblivious, Focused Solely On Survival. Despite His Growing Strength, Goten Understands That Power Alone Will Not Free Him From The Nowhere Dimension. The Realm Is Bound By Ancient, Arcane Laws That Defy The Logic Of The Universe. Goten Dives Deep Into The Mystical Energies That Permeate The Dimension, Studying Its Dark Magic, Its Strange Physics, And Its Unseen Forces. Through Meditation And Sheer Determination, He Begins To Uncover The Secrets Of Dimensional Energy, Tapping Into Powers Far Beyond The Physical Transformations Of The Super Saiyan Forms. He Learns To Manipulate The Darkness Itself, Bending The Shadows To His Will, Becoming One With The Very Fabric Of The Nowhere Dimension. Just As He Nears A Major Breakthrough In His Quest To Escape, The Inevitable Happens—After Ten Long Years Of Concealment And Training, Yūkai Himself Descends Upon Goten. The God Of Darkness, A Colossal Being Made Of Pure Shadow, Emerges From The Depths Of The Abyss. His Power Is Immeasurable, His Presence Suffocating. Goten Knows That He Cannot Yet Defeat Yūkai In A Direct Fight, Not Even With His Newfound Abilities. What Follows Is A Battle Of Unimaginable Proportions—A Struggle For Survival Against A Force That Threatens To Erase Goten From Existence Entirely. But In This Moment Of Desperation, Goten Finally Unleashes The Full Extent Of His Training, Achieving The Legendary Super Saiyan 7 Form. In This New State, Goten Is No Longer Himself—He Becomes A Being Of Pure Power, A Vessel Of Dark Energy Drawn From The Depths Of The Nowhere Dimension Itself. His Body Moves Without Conscious Thought, Driven By The Raw Magic That He Has Absorbed Over The Years. His Super Saiyan 7 Form Is Unlike Anything The Universe Has Ever Seen, A Form Infused With The Very Essence Of Darkness And Chaos. In The Climactic Moment, Goten Stumbles Upon The Scroll Of Eternity, A Mysterious Artifact Said To Contain The Key To Unlocking The Nowhere Dimension's Most Ancient Secrets. Armed With This Powerful Relic, Goten Does The Unthinkable—He Does Not Destroy Yūkai, But Rather Uses The Scroll To Seal The God Of Darkness Away Forever, Locking Him In A Prison Of His Own Design. With Yūkai Defeated And The Key Of Nowhere In His Hands, Goten Finally Escapes The Horrors Of The Nowhere Dimension, Emerging Into The Universe A Changed Man—Stronger, Wiser, And More Terrifying Than Ever Before. The Universe Has No Idea What Is Coming.
