1 Chapter 1 : Transmigration X Heavens Arena

Hunter X Hunter world, Heavens Arena City, night.

Ash Bernard woke up with a jolt, his heart pounding in his chest. As he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. He was lying on a cold, hard ground, surrounded by tall buildings and flashing neon lights. He could hear the sound of people talking and laughing in the distance. He slowly got up, dusting himself off and trying to get his bearings.

"What the hell just happened?" he thought to himself, completely bewildered. "I was just exploring that old ruin with my team, and then...everything went black."

Ash looked around, taking in his surroundings. The towering skyscrapers and bright lights around him shocked him, not because he is unfamiliar with this sight, but because he had no idea how he got here.

"This doesn't look like any place I've ever been before," he mused.

As he walked through the crowded streets, Ash's mind was racing with questions. "How did I get here? Where is my team? What happened to me?" But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything beyond the moment the ruin collapsed on them.

Ash didn't notice that whenever he passed someone they will turn back to look at him in shock, some girls even boldly took their phones and starts filming, Ash was unaware of all of these things.

When he passed by a storefront window, He paused for a moment, he looked at his reflection in the windows and opened his mouth wide.

In the reflection he saw a young man with an extraordinary appearance, six feet tall, with a toned and athletic build. His most notable feature is his hair, which is a pristine white that cascades down to his shoulders. His golden eyes sparkle with doubts and curiosity, and his skin is porcelain white, almost ethereal in nature.

"I become younger!"

Ash wasn't shocked by his appearance, he was already used to it, but what shocked him is his age which seems to return to his youth! From a forty years old man to a twenty years old young man!

"What the hell is happening here!" Ash's mind was filled with countless questions, he suppressed his doubts and decided to figure out where he is first then think about other things.

he noticed a large tower in the distance, he thought he may be able to find some informations there so he headed toward it.

As he walked, he took in the sights around him. The place was bustling with people of all ages and walks of life hurrying past him. Some were dressed in martial arts clothing, while others wore simple robes. He could see different shops and stalls lining the streets, and the air was filled with the smell of food and the sound of people's chatter. Ash couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the bustling city.

But despite the newness of this place, Ash couldn't shake the nagging feeling of unease in his gut. Something about this place seemed off, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He walked for what seemed like hours until he finally reached the tall tower he had spotted earlier.

"It seems like Khalifa Tower but the vibes it's giving me is totally different!"

" Moreover…" He looked at the long line of peoples wearing fighting cloths and become even more confused.

Ash decided to find an answer as soon as possible to his doubts, He looked around to find someone who could tell him more about this place.

He spotted a nearby stall selling barbecue.

"Excuse me, sir," Ash said to the old stall owner, "Could you tell me where I am?"

"You're in Heavens Arena city," the old man replied, "Are you lost, Son?"

"Heavens Arena city?" Ash repeated, confused "What is this place? And why do I feel like I've heard this name before?"

The old man raised an eyebrow at Ash's questions, wondering how he could be unaware of such a famous location.

"Heavens Arena city is the place of the most prestigious fighting place in the world, Heavens Arena Tower!" the old man explained, "It's where fighters from all over the world come to test their skills and make a living. Are you a fighter, son?"

Ash shook his head, trying to make sense of it all. "No, I'm not. But why do I feel like I have heard of this place?" Ash had a sense of familiarity with this name, as if he had heard it in the past, but he can't remember where.

The old man chuckled. "Maybe you've watched too many fights on TV," he joked, "But seriously, Heavens Arena is not a place you forget easily, everyone knows about it."

As if he was hit by a bolt of lighting, Ash stood frozen in his place, trying to process what he had just heard.

The realization hit him hard when the old stall owner said 'maybe you've watched too many fights on Tv'.

memories started flooding back to him, memories of watching Hunter x Hunter anime, of Gon and Killua fighting their way through the arena, of the complex Nen powers and the Chimera Ant arc.

"No way," Ash muttered to himself, "Could it be that I'm actually in the Hunter x Hunter world?" Ash thought to himself, feeling a sense of disbelief wash over him.

He looked around again, taking in the sights and sounds of the city with new eyes. He had always been a fan of the anime, but he never expected to find himself in the middle of it all.

"I can't believe it. This is crazy. I'm in Hunter x Hunter world," he muttered to himself again.

"Are you alright, son? Do you need any help?"

The stall owner looked at the shocked Ash and asked with concern.

Ash regained his senses, he looked at the stall owner and waved his hands, "I'm fine, thank you for your help, sir." Then he quickly left the place.

He found a public seat and starts organizing his thoughts.

'First of all, due to unknown factors I didn't die in the ruins, instead I traveled to the Hunter x Hunter world, at the same time my age returned to the twenties.'

'Logically, this shouldn't happen at all! Even if I managed to travel to other world, at most I travel to a parallel universe or something like this.'

'But traveling to a fictional world like hunter x hunter is something very absurd!'

'Unless this world is real and exist in the first place!'

'But this is impossible, it's clearly a fictional story wrote by Togashi, so how can it exists? Doesn't that mean Togashi is a God? This is stupid!'

'But the most important thing, how I came to this world? If I exists in this fictional world doesn't that mean I'm also a fictional character? I'm in the matrix or what? Is my whole life a lie? What is real? What is fake! Damn!'

Ash kept rubbing his forehead, he feels his head going to explode from all these questions.

He had nothing to worry about in his previous world, no family, no lovers, no friends at all, so he didn't feel bothered by the fact he is in another world, but he starts having an existential crisis knowing he is in a fictional world.

Ash Bernard was born into a family of adventurers. His parents were world-renowned explorers who traveled the globe, seeking out new discoveries and unknown treasures. From a young age, Ash was exposed to the excitement and danger of the world, and he quickly developed a thirst for adventure.

Growing up, Ash was an active child, always seeking out new challenges and pushing himself to his limits. He was a natural athlete, excelling in sports like rock climbing, skydiving, and snowboarding. His parents encouraged his love for adventure, and they often took him on their expeditions, teaching him survival skills and exposing him to different cultures.

Despite his love for adventure, Ash was also a bit of a troublemaker. He had a mischievous streak and was known to push boundaries and break rules. His parents were often frustrated with his rebellious nature, but they also recognized that it was part of what made him so successful in his adventures.

When Ash was in his late teens, tragedy struck his family. His parents were on a dangerous expedition in the Amazon rainforest when they were ambushed by a group of armed bandits. Both of them were killed in the attack, leaving Ash alone and adrift in the world.

Devastated by the loss of his parents, Ash turned to his love for adventure to cope with his grief. He threw himself into his expeditions, seeking out the most dangerous and challenging environments he could find. He also developed a reputation as a womanizer, using his natural charm and good looks to distract himself from his pain.

This is a summarize to his life in the previous world.

Ash slapped his face to wake himself up.

"This is not the time to wonder about life, I need to find a place to sleep or else I will spend the night in the streets."

As an adventure, Ash isn't unfamiliar with sleeping outside, during expeditions they usually spend days in the wilderness.

But sleeping in the street of an unfamiliar city without anything to protect himself is simply seeking death.

He knows his appearance well, he swears if he sleeps in the street the next morning he will find himself in the slaves market.

After all, Hunter x hunter world is a very dark world, human trafficking is nothing but a drop of water in this evil-filled world.
