The Road to the Hunter Exam: A Quest for Mystery and Power

Shachmono Tocino was puzzled, while Moarik was already on his way to the next Hunter Exam.

"Hunter Exam, huh~~~"

Under the gentle sunlight, Moarik walked along the road, glancing at the registration card in his hand, which bore the Hunter Association's [XX] emblem.

He couldn't help but smile:

"How could I not go and see it for myself?"

...

In this world, there are various rare and exotic creatures, treasures, secret realms, and magical domains.

All of these are because of the word "unknown," which exudes an endless allure, making countless people willingly become its captives.

People who pursue such rare and hard-to-obtain things are called "Hunters."

Only those who pass the "Hunter Exam" conducted by the Hunter Association and obtain the "Hunter License" can officially be recognized as "Hunters."

To act as a professional Hunter, one needs a Hunter License, and without passing the rigorous exam, one cannot obtain it.

Once someone becomes a Hunter, they enjoy various privileges and benefits.

These include, but are not limited to: [Access to restricted areas], entry into 90% of countries that generally prohibit entry, and 75% of forbidden zones.

[Can be used as collateral]: The money obtained from selling assets can ensure seven generations of descendants never worry about food or clothing, and can also be used as collateral to secure high loans.

[Free use of public facilities]: Free access to 95% of public facilities, and free use of computers and websites.

......

For Moarik, having these privileges certainly makes his future actions quite convenient.

However, participating in this Hunter Exam is not his main objective.

Mystery Boxes!

Over the past six months, Moarik has rarely gone out.

Naturally, he hasn't been able to acquire many mystery boxes.

Apart from obtaining a slightly larger storage space from one of the mystery boxes he opened earlier, he hasn't had much other gain.

This time, what Moarik wants is to participate in the Hunter Exam to obtain more mystery boxes and gain more power.

Although it's not yet the official start of the storyline, it's enough for him to accumulate mystery boxes and experience in advance.

And he has already chosen his first destination.

In his hand is a map of a small island.

The appearance of this island resembles a whale floating on the sea.

Whale Island~~~

......

......

Whale Island, named for its whale-like shape, is a peculiar island.

The terrain of the island is complex, with dense rainforests and bottomless lakes, breeding various rare and exotic creatures.

There may even be some intelligent plants among them.

The two most famous creatures on Whale Island are the ferocious beast on land, called the Foxbear, and the fish spirit living in the lake, known as the Swamp King.

The Swamp King is very slippery, and it's said that it hasn't been caught in the last ten years.

The Foxbear is incredibly fierce and untamable, and it's said that the king of the forest is a Foxbear beast.

However, it's unclear who started the rumor that this Foxbear beast is rather close to a certain human child.

And it even has a name, something like "Jettai"...

If it were an ordinary person, they might scoff at such a claim.

But for Moarik, the child in front of him, who is intently fishing, is the best evidence and persuasion.

At the center of the vast lake, some tall, dense trees stand on the water's surface.

And on the largest of these trees, a child in a green jacket with naturally spiky black hair is sitting still, holding a fishing rod.

His orange-red eyes are focused on the rod in his hand and the float on the lake.

Butterflies slowly fly past him, frogs croak as they hop over him.

The animals seem entirely unaware of the presence of a person here.

The breathing of the spiky-haired boy seems to have completely merged with nature, blending in with the surrounding environment!

"Because he treated the wilderness and the sea as his playground when he was a child, he understands nature better than anyone else, huh?"

On another big tree, Moarik stands there, looking at the little boy sitting on the treetop.

Watching his current state, he can't help but nod slightly.

Growing up in this natural environment and inheriting the exceptional talents of his father and the Freecss family,

This has made little Gon, the male protagonist of the Hunter world, Gon Freecss, more sensitive than ordinary people in his five senses from a young age. His sense of smell and hearing are particularly outstanding.

He is also very familiar with predicting the weather, understanding animal languages, and so on.

Although he is not good at learning from others, he can remember things he has practiced and his learning ability and speed are very strong.

This also makes his physical abilities very strong, with remarkable recovery capabilities, considered a special physique.

And at this moment, he is fully focused, trying to catch the Swamp King in this lake, which five adults might not be able to pull out!

Because only then will his foster mother, Aunt Mito, agree to let him take the Hunter Exam!

This is the agreement between the two of them!!

And it is also to find the traces of his father, Ging Freecss, who is not yet deceased!!

The still somewhat immature little Gon is so determined in his resolve.

He didn't notice, however, the enticing allure of the mystery box glowing with a red light beside him!

A red mystery box, a high-level mystery box!!

Even in the presence of the protagonist of the Hunter world, such a high-level mystery box has appeared!!

And this is one of the reasons why Moarik came here!!!
