> "The Cosmic Fighter Group invites you to join the group chat. Do you accept?"
The voice echoed simultaneously in the minds of King Quan and the Grand Priest.
The two glanced at each other. Though neither spoke at first, surprise was clearly written on both their faces. What exactly was this "Cosmic Fighter Group"? And why were they being asked to join it?
Could this be... Jack's doing?
Their suspicions were quickly confirmed as Jack, standing nearby, gave them a simple nod.
That was all the confirmation they needed.
Knowing better than to question him, both King Quan and the Grand Priest quickly responded.
"Accept."
> [King Quan has joined the Cosmic Fighter Group.]
[The Grand Priest has joined the Cosmic Fighter Group.]
King Quan blinked at the new interface that appeared in front of him, then turned toward Jack in confusion.
"Jack, what is this? Did you create it?"
Jack smiled lazily. "Something like that. You two can explore the group yourselves. Once you understand it, you'll find it useful... or at least entertaining. I'm going to invite the rest."
As the group was still Level 1, it could only accommodate ten members for now. With King Quan and the Grand Priest already added, that left eight open slots.
Jack hadn't invited those two on a whim. He simply found them bored out of their minds—just like he was. If they were going to sit around doing nothing for centuries, they might as well join him in a little cosmic fun.
Of course, should the two divine beings wish to take on missions, they'd be welcome. But that was up to them.
As for the next batch of recruits, Jack had already made his decision.
Though the Cosmic Fighter Group could recruit people from any of the Twelve Universes, Jack wanted to focus on Universe 7 first. That's where all the real fun was happening—and where most of the events he remembered took place.
Besides, many of those characters had essentially grown up with him during his years in this world.

Meanwhile, on Earth...
A fierce battle was raging in the skies.
Son Goku, transformed into the blazing red Super Saiyan God, was clashing head-to-head with Beerus, the God of Destruction.
The shockwaves of their battle shook the clouds, tore through mountains, and sent ripples through the oceans.
But suddenly, mid-fight, a strange voice echoed in the minds of both warriors:
> "The Cosmic Fighter Group invites you to join the group chat. Do you accept?"
The two paused instantly. Their fists stopped just inches from each other's faces.
Goku tilted his head. "Huh? What's this now?"
Beerus narrowed his eyes. "A voice... in my mind?"
The words "Cosmic Fighter Group" stirred curiosity in both of them. Goku grinned. "Sounds fun! I want to see what it's about!"
Beerus snorted. "If someone's bold enough to send me an invite... I want to see who it is."
Both of them mentally clicked accept.

Elsewhere nearby, Whis, who had been enjoying Earth's cuisine, also received the same invitation.
So did the other warriors observing the battle: Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and even the ever-curious Master Roshi.
Like the others, they each chose to accept the invitation.
One after another, notifications rang out in the group chat:
> [Beerus, God of Destruction of Universe 7, has joined the group.]
[Son Goku of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
[Vegeta of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
[Piccolo of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
[Krillin of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
[Tien Shinhan of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
[Master Roshi of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
[Whis of Universe 7 has joined the group.]
The group chat, which had once been empty, now buzzed with energy.
---
Beerus was the first to speak up.
Beerus: "What is going on here?! Who created this 'Cosmic Fighter Group'? Someone better explain, fast!"
His eyes scanned the list of members. At first, he saw familiar names—Goku, Vegeta, Whis, and the others—but then…
His eyes froze.
King Quan.
The Grand Priest.
Beerus's pupils shrank. The color drained from his face.
He immediately tagged them in the chat:
Beerus: "@King Quan, @Grand Priest — Sirs! Is this your doing? Did you create this group?!"
Seeing Beerus panic like this caught the others off guard.
Goku: "Huh? Who are King Quan and the Grand Priest? Why do you sound so nervous, Lord Beerus?"
Beerus snapped.
Beerus: "Goku! You idiot, shut up! These two are the highest beings in the multiverse! Don't talk casually in front of them!"
Goku blinked, clearly confused. "Wait, even higher than you?"
Vegeta: "Don't you ever pay attention?! These two are above even the Gods of Destruction!"
As Beerus tried to manage the growing chaos, the others finally began to understand.
For Beerus—a being who casually destroyed planets without blinking—to speak so respectfully, these two had to be monsters beyond comprehension.
King Quan: "Huh? Why did so many people join all at once? Jack didn't say he'd be inviting this many."
Grand Priest: "@Whis, my child. I didn't expect Lord Jack to invite you so soon."
Whis: "Father? You're here as well? And... Lord Jack?"
Whis's eyes widened. He'd never heard of this 'Jack' before.
Whis: "Forgive me, but... who exactly is Lord Jack?"
The Grand Priest fell silent for a moment.
Even he didn't know Jack's full origin. When Jack first arrived in this world, the Grand Priest had just been promoted. The legends about the sleeping being deep within King Quan's palace had only been whispers—until now.

Finally, Jack spoke in the chat.
Jack: "Let me introduce myself."
Jack: "I'm Jack. I'm the Group Leader of the Cosmic Fighter Group, and the one who invited you all here."
Jack: "As for who I am and where I come from—that's not important. What matters is why you're here."
A pause.
Jack: "This group connects the entire multiverse. It allows you to receive missions from countless worlds and timelines."
Jack: "Your strength, knowledge, and skills will be tested. But the rewards will be just as grand."
Jack: "You can grow stronger, face enemies beyond your current limits, and earn points to buy rare treasures—perhaps even evolve your bloodlines and techniques."
The chat went quiet for a moment.
Even Goku stopped smiling.
Vegeta: "Are you saying there are enemies out there stronger than us?"
Jack: "Much stronger."
Whis: "And... why did you choose us?"
Jack: "Because this universe—Universe 7—is special. You all have potential. You've shaped your world's history, faced gods, and changed destiny."
Jack: "Besides, I thought it'd be entertaining."
Beerus: "Tch. Entertainment, he says."
Though Beerus grumbled, he didn't leave the group. If anything, the presence of King Quan and the Grand Priest had firmly convinced him this was no prank.
King Quan: "Jack is super strong! When I was bored before, he used to beat me up just to entertain himself!"
Everyone went silent.
Goku: "He beat up... King Quan?"
Whis: "...Oh my."
Piccolo: "What kind of monster is this guy?"
Tien: "We've just been drafted into something way above our pay grade."
Jack chuckled to himself as he watched their reactions roll in.
Jack: "You'll all get used to it. For now, enjoy the ride."
Jack: "Your first mission will come soon. Be ready."

And with that, the real journey of the Cosmic Fighter Group began.
Fighters from all walks of life.
Missions from across the multiverse.
And at the center of it all—
A man no one knew, but everyone would soon respect...
Jack.
