2 A bizzarre transmigration to the world of hunters (EDITED)
AN: hey this chapter was updated... I plan to do the first 3-4 chapters of this fic as I did not really know what I was doing when I started writing this fic. that and the first few chapters are the most important for most readers so I thought I would clean things up a bit. Also while I am editing I will only write one chapter a week while editing anywhere from 1-2 chapters a week. Therefore, I will be back to the usual schedule in like a week or two.
'Huh? Where the hell…' waking up and looking around at the unfamiliar scenery, or at least something similar to waking up. Having been deprived of four of my five senses I could only stare at the indescribable space I found myself inside of.
"Hello? Is… anyone or… anything here?" speaking aloud, or what I assumed was speaking due to being unable to feel my lips move or hear my words within this space that were constantly in flux. Trying to get ahold of my situation and rationalize got me nowhere though, as nothing happened.
'Man… this feels trippy, just… floating here for however long I have been here.' as time slowly slipped by I began verbally speaking to myself as a form of keeping myself entertained or sane in this long stint in this "void"
'I mean Tom Hanks got a cool volleyball… and I got myself? *sigh*' after an indefinite amount of time I slipped into a state of silence as I got something reminiscent of sleep.
'My name is ######. I'm xx years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not in a relationship. I work as an employee for the nearby corner store, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 12 PM, and make sure I get about six hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morni-.' as I was about to finish my monologue I was cut short as something finally changed regarding my situation.
"As exciting as it is to hear you shamelessly hear you rip off the works of Hirohiko Araki I must stop you right there. You see, after your death which I can only describe as truly pathetic-" A voice, one that was seemingly comprised of an entire spectrum of voices rang out interrupting my admittedly embarrassing ramblings.
"HEY!... Well not that I really remember or want to remember it… WAIT! Another person!"
"Please do not interrupt while I am speaking, it is quite rude you know?" Ignoring my outburst he patronizes me in an almost teasing voice as he paused for a moment afterward.
"Ah, my bad, do go on." quickly replying, trying to quickly remember the conventions of conversation.
"Anyways, you are dead and normally you are supposed to be thrown back into the cycle of reincarnation that your world resides in. However, I am currently rather bored, managing the endless cycle of reincarnation, unfortunately, comes with endless paperwork."
"That's rough"
"Indeed, That is why I decided to throw the next soul who came before me into a randomly selected isolated timeline as a form of entertainment. Simply put, this is the isekai situation your degenerate ass has been wishing for your entire life." rambling of those lines like they have been repeated innumerable times the voice dryly rang off.
"First, that hurt even though it's true, and second I am not sure If I'm comfortable having someone watch over my entire life…" unsure of how to respond to the situation I decided to just make my grievances known.
"Isn't that hypocritical? It's essentially the same as you reading all those Isekai fanfics you love so much." responding in a bored tone the voice easily conveying that there was no real room for bargaining.
"I mean yeah… but it's me now instead of someone else, definitely don't want some random omni-" still not really comfortable with the whole idea of my entire life being viewed for someone else's pleasure I weakly contested the proposal.
"Don't." unfortunately, however, it seemed I stepped on some sort of sore spot.
'I guess he doesn't like the nickname commonly used in all those fan fics I read…"
*Cough* "A stronger existence watching over my life as entertainment, even if it's a double standard." collecting myself for a moment I once again tried to reason with whomever I was talking to.
*Sigh* "Sadly for you, I was explaining the situation, not asking if you wanted to go. With that out of the way, I will get on to the next part, that being what boon you will receive before you go off to a new world." quickly crushing all concerns for my privacy the voice pushed the conversation forward, perhaps he was getting impatient dealing with myself.
"Ok… Is this the part where I receive an OP system or power?" trying to look on the upside I thought back to all the fictitious stories I read concerning reincarnation.
'Man, what all was it again? Three wishes, random bs powers that bust power scaling, and all sorts of stuff I wouldn't mind having…' as my anticipation began to slowly accelerate it was quickly shot down by the voice within a moment.
"Hell no, even you know that those stories are boring as hell or devolve into pokemon games collecting every woman in sight..." speaking once again with clear annoyance in his voice as he trailed off and paused for a monument.
'I mean piecing the clues together this probably isn't his time doing all this… so he probably hates watching out the same few tropes and scenarios being portrayed?' guessing the reason for his annoyance I mentally nodded my head in satisfaction before speaking again.
"Ok, that is fair… So what AM I getting out of all of this?" deciding to not further annoy whoever it was i was dealing with I decided to pick up the pace a bit.
"Instead, you will receive a randomly selected character from a fiction work, and then either their knowledge, powers, skills, or experience will then be adapted to whatever world you are going to." rattling off the various benefits quickly in a manner similar to medicine commercials talking about adverse symptoms the voice finished speaking shortly after hew started.
"How exactl-" somewhat stunned and confused I was about to ask for details.
"Again, do NOT interrupt while I am speaking, Most if not all of your questions shall be answered. Capiche?" cutting me off for interrupting once again the voice raised his voice in an irate manner.
"Ah, yeah?" Figuratively shrinking back from the outburst I quickly responded in confirmation while making sure to shut up.
"In simplest terms, your boon will be modified for that world so you do not get rejected by the world itself. After all, world wills do not exactly like foreign power systems or entities existing in its domain. In this case, your boon will be formatted to your respective world, which is the world of Hunter x Hunter. If you still do not understand, let's say you got the power of the gum-gum fruit and were sent to a technology-based world. Having received the boon of the gum-gum fruit you would have a talent or knack in say creating mechanical limbs that could stretch or extend. Or if got the powers of Flynn from Smt 4 and were sent to a magic world you would be great at taming/summoning magic. Do you understand?" finally going into length about how the boons would work I was interested in the concept, of being able to get powers from various media and adapting to whatever world so as not to destroy the balancing of that world too much.
" Yeah, but what exactly is my boon then?" quite excited to get started I asked the voice eagerly awaiting a response.
"Don't know" only for all my excitement to once again come crashing down.
"..."

*clap* *clap* "Therefore, we shall spin a wheel as I don't really have a better way of doing this…" speaking in a calm measured tone the voice began trailing off near the end into a silent mutter that was barely audible.
"Oi !!"
{Protagonist P.O.V}
Looking at the large multicolored wheel that seemingly appeared out of nowhere I was worried. After all, whatever the outcome of this… Wheel would determine my survival in the world of HXH.
'I mean sure it's no Dragon Ball, but the power creep in HXH is no joke. I mean just look at the Meruem v. Netero fight compared to the humble beginnings of the show. I don't even want to imagine what horrors exist outside of the context of the anime and manga.' thinking about what I heard secondhand about the manga and the dark continent and its horrors I began staring at the wheel hoping that I got something good.
As the wheel slowly started to accelerate my focus peaked as I stared intently at the large wheel. What felt like hours was mere moments as the wheel began to lose some of its initial momentum. Consequently, as it began to lose speed I was able to make out some of the writing on each section of the wheel.
' Man some of those are sick! Raiden from MGR, Smaug from The Hobbit, Narukami Yu, the Fourth Hokage, Zombie Man from OPM, Gun Devil from chainsaw man, and even some weirder ones. For instance, who the hell put Goomba from Mario on this thing? And God forbid landing on that Yamcha space, what would that even do for me? +100% to have the poor man's rose installed in your chest?' quickly focusing again I looked back at the wheel and ignored some of my more absurd thoughts.
Finally, the wheel began to slow down as it painstakingly flicked onto the selected panel. Having selected a purplish-red space that read "Magenta-Magenta from JoJo's"
{Third Person}
"Hoh? This will be certainly interesting, your boon shall be the power of magenta-magenta from SBR formatted as an innate talent/structure for your Nen ability. With that ill send you off to a suitable mature body as I have no interest in seeing a baby shit itself or lust after its own mother during breastfeeding." and with a tone of finality, he finishes speaking returning the space to silence once again.
"Can I at least choose what I lo-" trying to milk the situation out of everything I could I was about to ask to edit my appearance. Though before I could finish speaking I was knocked unconscious
And with that our protagonist whose name was never uttered has been sent off to his next life.
