11 Chapter 1 : Hunter X Hunter

"huh?"

James opened his eyes and found himself in a room that looked like a fairly dark tunnel, the tunnel was full of people all dressed strangely.

But suddenly James couldn't stop himself from vomiting, his heart was accelerating faster and faster, his body temperature was dropping and rising, he could see the wing of a fly about ten meters away, he could hear the heartbeat of everyone around him.

[Passing the Hunter Exam]

[Reward: 400PT]

"The Hunter exam?"

James sat with his back to the wall and when he saw the [Survival World] notification James couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"Are you all right?"

James then confirmed his suspicions of a sort man , fat with tan skin, brown hair, a large nose, and thick eyebrows.

"My name is Tompa, don't be too nervous, the exam hasn't even really started yet, if you want advice ask me, I've already taken the exam 34 times."

"So this is the world of Hunter X Hunter!"

James thought excitedly, who hasn't dreamt of coming to one of his favorite fantasy worlds?

The story of HXH focuses on a young boy named Gon Freecss, who discovers that his father, who he was told had left him at a young age, is actually a world renowned Hunter, a licensed profession for those who specialize in, but are not limited to, fantastic pursuits such as locating rare or unidentified animal species, treasure hunting, surveying unexplored enclaves, or hunting down lawless individuals.

Despite being abandoned by his father, Gon departs upon a journey to follow in his footsteps, pass the rigorous Hunter Examination, and eventually find his father. Along the way, Gon meets various other Hunters, including main cast members Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua, and also encounters the paranormal.

The plot begins with the arc exam, the hunter exam is a yearly event which an applicant must pass in order to become a Hunter, an elite member of humanity and a part of the Hunter Association.

These exams consist of several tests and stages which can vary drastically.

Due to the large number of people who wish to become Hunters, the exam phases tend to be exceptionally difficult. Many applicants end up dead or handicapped.

Then James's gaze turned to the man named Tompa, in HXH Tonpa is nicknamed the "Rookie Crusher" by other candidates with more experience taking the exam.

Tonpa has taken the exam 34 times but has never passed due to his goal of ruining the dreams of others.

He often brags about his experience to those taking the Hunter Exam for the first time and then offers them a helping hand.

Of course, this is merely subterfuge, as he takes an almost perverse pleasure in sabotaging their attempts to pass. 

For that kind of person James naturally has no sympathy.

He pushed Tompa slightly backwards with his left palm.

*bang*

Tompa was thrown backwards violently, rolled on the ground before losing consciousness.

All the candidates in the vicinity then looked at James with surprised looks but they quickly ignored him but remembered to remember not to provoke this young man.

Further on a man dressed as a red-haired clown looked at James with a big smile as he played poker his cards.

James was also surprised by his strength, but then he understood why he felt bad and at the same time full of strength.

"The rapid improvement in my stats leads to a lack of control, add to that the sudden improvement in my senses, it would have been strange if I hadn't suffered."

James then sat in a corner and remained silent, waiting for the plot to begin..

A few minutes later a man with pale lavender hair which curls at the end, blue eyes and a long-pointed chin stood in front of everyone.

His most distinctive features are his thin curly mustache and seemingly lacking a mouth.

"I apologize for the wait."

"The entry period for Hunter applicants has ended, the Hunter Exam will now begin! A final caution."

"If you are short on luck or ability, you could very well end up seriously injured or even dead."

"Those who accept the risks, please follow me, otherwise, please exit via the elevator behind you."

Hearing this, no one left the room, everyone stayed.

The man then began to walk and was followed by all the candidates including James.

"Very well, all 404 applicants will participate in Phase One. Of course, no one turned around and left. I'd hoped a few might withdraw."

The rhythm of the man's walk then began to accelerate, he began to become so fast that the candidates began to run to keep up with his pace.

"I am Satotz, the Phase One examiner. I shall lead you to the exam's Second Phase."

The candidates then understood that the first phase had already begun; they eagerly followed Satoz so as not to lose sight of him.

Thus began James' adventure into the world of HXH.
