Chapter 1 - Pilot X Pilot

United States of Saherta, Yorknew City

  In a ward at the city hospital.

  Zane opened his eyes.

  The ceiling was pure white with several clear cracks. The smell of disinfectant was strong, filling his nostrils.

  He tried to sit up, but pain surged through him, making it feel as though his body was crumbling.

  He looked down and saw a needle inserted into the back of his hand, connected to an IV drip.

  An unfamiliar ceiling, an unfamiliar body.

  He was stunned.

  "Wasn't I sleeping at home?"

  He tried to recall, his last memory being checking the media account of togashi the creator of Hunter X Hunter. And then?

  Nothing.

  Suddenly, a flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into his brain.

  Fragmented memories flashed intermittently in his mind: a blinding white flash, a deafening boom, the shockwave tearing through his body, and the crushing feeling of his heart suddenly stopping... The last thing he knew was endless darkness.

  Had I transmigrated?

  He looked at his arm and tried to move his fingers.

  "I didn't even get a healthy body after transmigrating, what kind of luck is this?"

  He wasn't actually against transmigrating. In his previous life, he was still struggling to find a job, he was feeling lost.

  So he didn't have much fear of death, even transmigrating and experiencing death brought him more of a sense of novelty.

  He turned his neck, his stiff muscles was making it incredibly difficult. His gaze swept across the unfamiliar single hospital room. It was simple and clean. The TV screen in the corner was on, playing images silently.

  The TV in front of him shone, showing a vehicle being exploded. the female news anchor narrated but maybe due tv being on mute no voice is coming from it. although he couldn't hear the sound, he could see subtitles at the bottom of the screen.

  "Good afternoon. We are beginning this hour with breaking news out of Yorknew City. "Emergency crews are on the scene right now following a powerful vehicle explosion that rocked the district just after two o'clock this afternoon."

  Zane breath caught in his throat.

  Yorknew City? The name struck him like a thunderbolt, shattering his chaotic thoughts. Gangs, Mafia, Phantom Troupe, magical beasts, rare creatures, treasures… and those beings with unimaginable powers who only exist in comics!

  "Hunter x Hunter…" The words almost escaped his lips, trembling with disbelief. The feeling was a mixture of fear and a hint of excitement.

  Yes, excitement.

  Although he had grown older in his past life, His indomitable spirit and thirst for a challenge hadn't wavered. Otherwise, he wouldn't be still searching for jobs he might have given up.

  The world of Hunter x Hunter was a place of lethal risks and boundless wonder.

  The *Hunter x Hunter* world was almost the most suitable world he could imagine for him to transmigrate to.

  This world is a modern civilized society. The money and food he was familiar with in his previous life are not lacking here. And best of all, the superpower system in this world allows everyone to practice.

  Yes, everyone but you need talent to excel at it, if you awakened nen but don't have talent you will be stronger than ordinary person but you will be at bottom of food chain among nen users, of course vows and limitations are another matter if you play your cards right you can become strong person dramatically take an example of Kurapika, In less than year kurapika is strong enough to hunt phantom troupe and even become a zodiac later on of course price for using such powers are lifespan.

  This is a world where everyone can master nen that's why Nen is kept secret in this world because if nen fall on wrong hands it became fatal that's why if ordinary person want to access nen they need either pass hunter exam or they need to hold high level position in a country.

  Slowly recalling the memories of the body previous owner, he was surprised that his name in previous world and this world is same.

Zane

  Now that he had come here, the first step was to understand his current situation.

  He closed his eyes and began to sort through the fragmented memories in his mind that did not belong to him. Explosion, fire, Whether Report, Zane was surprised by these memories he found that along with previous body memories he also has another strange memories which contain how to manipulate whether with Whether Report.

As he was reading memories Suddenly, he felt a warm liquid surrounding him.

After feeling this he focused on his body and saw something like mucus surrounding his body. This is aura, he awakened his nen as soon as he transmigrated and also mastered Ten naturally. As he was feeling this suddenly a small cloud floated in front of him he recognized it, It is the Whether Report in his memory he recognized this in his previous life he has watched the introduction of whether report on a video platform in previous life but haven't watched JoJo.

Looks like he is a Natural Nen user and Whether Report is his Nen Ability.

Zane then focus on the small cloud and then according to his memories he manipulate it and then the small cloud in front of him transformed into white humanoid creature.

After playing with it, To disable it he used instinctive action according to his memory and the cloud in front of him disappeared.

Now is not time to explore Nen, first he need check his current situation.

After that he focused on his memories and try to read it fully. 

It seemed that the original owner of this body had died due to being on close proximity of a violent car explosion.

"A standard transmigration start," Zane thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

Regardless of how the predecessor died, at this moment, right now, he was living as Zane.

Looking down at his body, his overall figure was well-proportioned, with delicate skin.

[Now that I have a second chance, I can't live like I did in my last life, aimlessly.]

After moving the rest of his body a few more times, the stiffness gradually eased, and he sat up decisively.

His gaze swept across the room again, trying to find more information while he is observing he heard a gentle knock that came from the door, he quickly adjusted his aura so it flows above his head like normal person.

  and after he is done he said " Please come in"

The door opened, and a tall, very capable-looking man entered. He had, short, black hair, sharp, bright black eyes, and wore a police uniform.

"Hello, Mr. Zane" The policeman voice was calm. he walked to the bedside, showed his identification, and said, "I am Daniel Carter from the Yorknew City Police Department. I'm here to conduct some routine investigations regarding your injuries."

Zane looked at him and was feeling surprised because no aura is flowing out of his body like normal person this officer might be a nen user.

"Officer, hello." Zane tried to make his voice sound as calm as possible.

"Can you recall the circumstances of the explosion?" Daniel Carter asked directly, his gaze fixed on Zane's eyes, as if trying to catch any emotional fluctuation.

Zane was silent for a moment, fragmented images flashing through his mind.

  "I'm sorry, officer." He shook his head, his face showing just the right amount of confusion and pain. "I only remember a flash of white light, and then I know nothing more. The doctor said I suffered a severe shock, and I can't remember many things."

Some important people might have died in that car explosion. that's why a Nen User has came to questioned him.

  He wasn't afraid of being questioned, but he was terrified of a memory-reading Nen user who could read his memories without his permission, and he'd be done for.

This wasn't a complete lie; the original owner's memories were indeed very hazy. In front of such an expert, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Daniel Carter wasn't surprised. He nodded and continued, "According to the preliminary investigation, it was likely a terrorist attack targeting the car. Some important people who hold high position in Government perished in that car explosion."

"Alright, get some rest, Mr Zane. Feel free to contact me if you remember anything." He handed him a business card and turned to leave.

  Just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back, and said, "Your body's recovery ability is amazing. To wake up so quickly after being hit by the explosion is truly lucky."

  With that, he opened the door and left.

  Zane watched the closed door and slowly exhaled. He could feel that when Daniel spoke his last words, his gaze had intentionally or unintentionally swept over his head where aura is flowing like normal person clearly his crude technique was seen through by Daniel and he might know that Zane is a nen user.

  Lucky? Perhaps.
