This chapter was originally quasi-translated by Amarath Sparrow, but he took some liberties with the translation and also didn't finish all the pages. Specifically, the most important ones that briefly discuss future Trunks, the implementation of the new Time Kaiō deity and how time travel is illegal. This little fact may actually be more relevant now though with Toriyama's return to the Dragon Ball universe with his new series, Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman. So this seems like as good as time as any to post the information.
Also interesting is that HG-Project says that all the guidebook's content (the earlier posted timeline and the info in this topic), from the way it was worded, seems to have been written in Japanese first and then translated into Korean. We know that Toriyama had creative control over the project, having to sign off on everything in the game. Take from that what you will... lol

Chapter 1: Chronicle
The setting is the future; Dragon Ball Online unfolds after a long time has passed since the original Dragon Ball series. In this chapter, in order to make things easier to understand, we briefly introduce the events that have transpired within the time span between the original Dragon Ball and Online.
Peace returns to the Earth – AGE 774
After Majin Boo, the universe’s greatest threat had been defeated by Son Gokū and his friends, peace began to return to the Earth. Thanks to the actions of Earth’s “savior”, Mister Satan, people all over the world became interested in martial arts. The Tenkaichi Budōkai, the aspiration of all martial artists, had become a large-scale event, drawing an immense amount of attention each year. A peaceful world’s friendly battles… People’s memories of the fierce battles of the past seemed to fade more and more as time passed. The one who was watching over them was God, Dende.
After the battle between Majin Boo and Son Gokū’s allies had come to an end, Mister Boo, the good Boo, remained on Earth. Through Shenlong’s power, the people’s memories of the evil Boo were erased and they have been enjoying peaceful days under Mister Satan since. Thus, Mister Boo gradually became accustomed to life on Earth and even entered the Tenkaichi Budōkai, on Mister Satan’s request. With his overwhelming power, he eased past the preliminary rounds and lost to Mister Satan in the finals on purpose. Mister Boo assumed the role to help Mister Satan retain his dignity as “World Champion” by repeating this every time. Every year he entered the tournament, he captured the hearts of the crowds with his immense power and childlike innocence, and so the eccentric Mister Boo also ended up as a world-famous celebrity.
Mister Boo is highly curious by nature. Watching a technique just once is enough to help him remember it and, because of this talent, he was able continually learn about and understand Earth’s culture and the various natures of humans. After some years had passed, Mister Boo started to change. From watching the burning passion of Earthling couples and the sight of close families, Mister Boo began to have “special” feelings. By this point, Mister Boo was acknowledged as Mister Satan’s rival and, because of his innocent nature, was quite popular with young women. But even that wasn’t enough to fill his heart. Mister Boo, seems to have reached puberty…
Saiyan Blood: Gokū and Vegeta
With two Saiyans starting families on Earth, their generations continued to expand and conversely, the Saiyan blood became more diluted as it spread throughout the Earthlings. The majority of Earthlings are not aware of Son Gokū and Vegeta’s accomplishments. For everyone, Mister Satan is their acknowledged savior. As time flowed across the generations, those who knew of the existence of Saiyans almost disappeared. However, as exemplified by Gohan, Goten, and Trunks, the Saiyans obtain the potential to draw forth great power as they hybridize with other races. Saiyans also increase their abilities when they have a near-death experience. However, in the present peaceful world, the chance of a near-death situation is now seldom. If there were to be a crisis in which fierce battles with powerful opponents would ensue,then...
Pure-blooded Saiyans no longer exist in the present universe. Nevertheless, if their Earthling descendants were to someday awaken the latent Saiyan blood within, then that immeasurable power would once again emerge.
Namekians’ Warning – AGE 762
The Namekians, whose planet was destroyed by Freeza, had initially evacuated to Earth and afterwards, immigrated to the new planet, New Namek. The Namekians worked hard in order to lead a new life on the new world; they built houses and planted Ajissa trees. They didn't waste any energy and were soon able to establish a similar living environment to the old Namek. But soon, after about 100 years had passed, in AGE 851, disaster struck New Namek. A flash of light appeared out of nowhere and from it came forth a myriad of unidentified forces. It was a group of artificial humans, like those who had laid waste to Earth in the past. They then started to attack the Namekian villages without discrimination.
After arriving, Elder Mūri informed Earth’s God, Dende, of the incident that unfolded on New Namek. A person who is after the dragon balls, the artificial humans of the past, the Genki Dama that demolished New Namek, and the mysterious being Mira.
Around 150 years later, Elder Mūri is currently developing the living area on Earth around Piccolo at the center. The Namekians are leading peaceful lives while maintaining their own unique culture, although some became wary because of the destruction of Namek and New Namek and distanced themselves from the Saiyans and Earthlings, who had their dormant blood. The Namekians are aware that the Earth is in danger after their experiences with Mira’s forces destroying New Namek. Dende joins forces with the gods to identify the patterns of Mira’s forces and develop countermeasures.
Earth’s Approaching Peril
Circa AGE 990
Mayhem arises all over the world and villainous groups take advantage of the chaos to rise to power. There were some who felt that Earth was being attacked by a malevolent force, but the identity was not yet confirmed. Wild animals becoming monsters, demons starting to prowl, the Red Pants Army, the remnants of Freeza’s soldiers, etc. In the midst of it all, an incident broke out…
AGE 999 (July)
North City suddenly went dark, and the Royal Army forces sent to investigate suddenly became inaccessible as well. The King was unwilling to express his own fear, afraid that his subjects would start to panic. He requested help from the Namekian community. Elder Muri accepted and asked Piccolo to investigate the disasters that have occurred around the world.
The very first encounter Piccolo has was with a villainous group containing Pilaf’s descendant which had been taking advantage of the mayhem surrounding the world. Just what was the reason behind them committing crimes at the same time as the disorder, when they usually worked alone?
Trunks’ Conviction, a New Threat: Mira – AGE 999 (August)
A strange vehicle appears on Earth. It was a time machine controlled by Trunks. After arriving, he immediately begins to search for “ki”.
Piccolo had continued his investigation and returned to the location of the Namekians’ leader, Elder Muri, the King of Earth, Dende, Kame'sennin and Uranai Baba. In a meeting between those who were aware of the imminent danger, Piccolo spoke up.

- “For this age, I don’t think these are needed anymore.”
- “It would be nice if these peaceful times continued forever...”

Mister Boo, seems to have reached puberty…
- “Yeah, I want to make HOT LOVE!”
- “Uhun~ don’t do that, it tickles. My mother’s going to come back soon,” said Margaret, but Bob forcefully---.
- “Uun! I want to love!”
- “Waaa~! It’s my girlfriend--!”
“I also want to love you. Please take good care of me!”
- “Oi, I think that if you do something called booby-booby, a baby will come out!”
“Yes, booby-booby, you say...... You do it like this......”
- “All right, become a baby with our booby-booby--!”
“Love-Love!”

They then started to attack the Namekian villages without discrimination.
- “How?! How did guys like these get to our homeland... They shouldn’t exist in the present universe..."
- “I seek only one thing. Surrender the Dragon Balls to Mira.”
“Mira...? It can’t be...”
- “So you are not planning to surrender the Dragon Balls...then I have no choice but to annihilate this planet...”
- “Disappear, Namekians!”
After arriving, Elder Mūri informed Earth’s God, Dende, of the incident that unfolded on New Namek. A person who is after the dragon balls, the artificial humans of the past, the Genki Dama that demolished New Namek, and the mysterious being Mira.
- “I have heard of the name “Mira” before. The Time Kaiō has mentioned his name in the past...”
“I understand. Please keep this a secret from the people of Earth. I will inform the King about all of you.”
Around 150 years later, Elder Mūri is currently developing the living area on Earth around Piccolo at the center.

Trunks’ Conviction, a New Threat: Mira – AGE 999 (August)
A strange vehicle appears on Earth. It was a time machine controlled by Trunks. After arriving, he immediately begins to search for “ki”.
- “...I found it! Piccolo-san’s ki... Dende too... It’s God’s Sanctuary.”
- “Please! Help me!”
- "Someone’s expanding history at an alarming rate. If we do not put a stop to it, the universe will end!"
"...What?!"
- "It seems clear that the one who is expanding history is invading this era the most."
- "Why Earth, why this age... I am not sure. But he must be seeking something on the present era’s Earth..."
Piccolo had continued his investigation and returned to the location of the Namekians’ leader, Elder Muri, the King of Earth, Dende, Kame'sennin and Uranai Baba. In a meeting between those who were aware of the imminent danger, Piccolo spoke up.
- "Mira’s forces seem to be concentrated around Booby Island. From there, those bastards are likely to expand their forces towards the Northern capital, the military base of the King’s Army..."
- "A person who can stand up against their power doesn’t exist on the present Earth. Unfortunately, that includes me... However, there is a possibility for that in the future!"
- "I’ve also heard from the Time Kaio. Mira’s identity is that of an Earthling from the future... Then there must be a possibility that the people of Earth today may have the potential to awaken a similar power. The only thing that I can do as of now is to assist in the awakening of that power... Let us wait. I’m sure one will appear. A savior, just like Goku-san..."
