New World!
[Ash's POV]
Losing all feeling and being unable to think as a soul was an entirely new experience for me. Right as I was trying to tell Adam that I'd been thankful for the opportunity to live again, he had quickly and abruptly sent me out of his abode.
Now I'm encased in darkness once again, unable to discern how much time has passed.
When will I be sent to the world of hunters as promised? Could it be that the entire interaction between me and Adam was merely a hallucination caused by me slowly dying after my battle with the three assassins?

[General POV]
[World: Hunter x Hunter]
[Date: May 8th, 1980]
[Location: Kukuroo Mountain]
Currently, in the forest of this mountain located 3722 meters above sea level there was the small figure of a boy dissecting a bird with his bare hands, seemingly having been able to perform this do to his sharpened fingernails.
Pitch black pupils, short snow-white hair, pale skin and donning a pair of black shorts without a top and no shoes it is revealed to be the transmigrated Ash who had finally crossed into the world of hunters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Name: Ash Zoldyck]
[Age: 5]
[Kill(s): 27]
[Trait(s): Highly Calculative, Sociopath, Sadistic, Manipulative]
[Nen: Dormant]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now adopting the last name Zoldyck, Ash is five years old. He had been reborn into the Zoldyck family which is considered to be the most infamous and deadly clan of assassins in the world.
Being born as the twin brother of Illumi Zoldyck, Ash now had a brother to call his own. Illumi being the gloomy person he is consistently wears a dead-fish like facial expression, in contrast to his twin brother Ash who seemed to be cheerful boy who likes conversing with Zeno in his spare time.
Although appearing as a playful child of Kikyo Zoldyck with sadistic tendencies, Ash was in truth a person from an entirely different world. Hidden behind the cheerful persona was a manipulative and highly calculative sociopath with a never-ending thirst for blood.
*Crunch* Crunch*
A sound of crunching leaves had found its way to Ash's position, a blurry figure now stepping out from the fog of the dense forest.
"Young Master Ash, Lord Silva has told me to inform you that it's time to come home. Also, ugh what are you doing! Why are you mutilating that bird's corpse, don't you know how disgusting that is young master?" Said the man, donning a butler outfit.
"Tell me your name." Said Ash, seeming to disregard the man's remarks.
"I am Jerboas, your new personal servant." Said Jerboas.
"So, you're the new servant assigned to me, right?"
"Yes, that is correct young master. Now come, I have to bring you to the manor it's time for dinner." Said Jerboas, now turning around in expectations of Ash following behind him as told.
In the very next moment without a single sound ensuing from the leaves on the ground, Ash had seemingly reappeared in front of Jerboas having pierced the newly assigned servant's heart, now having it at the end of the stick he'd been using to mutilate the bird's corpse.
Ash's expression now as cold as a thousand-year glacier muttered to Jerboas as a look of shock settled upon his face now realizing his heart is now on the end of a stick. "I don't like it when other's disrespect my hobbies, how disrespectful of you to call a hobby of mine disgusting."
Jerboas while clutching his chest had tried to formulate words only to cough up mouthfuls of blood. Now looking at Ash with a look of fear, Jerboas began trembling trying to raise his hand at Ash merely taking one labored step and falling to the ground dead.
Ash taking one final glance at the servant before whistling into the air.
*Rumble*
The ground began to vibrate as a massive dog like creature appeared by the side of Ash wagging its tail.
"Boji, here's a little snack for you." Ash said, pointing toward the deceased servant's corpse.
The sound of loud crunching was flowing throughout the forest, not that it had mattered to Ash who had already turned around and began walking to the family mansion.
[Five Minutes Later, Location: Zoldycks Residence]
Ash had arrived at the family mansion, now situated at the dinner table surrounded by four of his family members. Ash, Illumi, Silva, Kikyo and Zeno all being served different dosages of poisoned food everyday as training.
Covered in blood, Ash had taken a seat at the dinner table only to be greeted by the screaming voice of his mother in this world [Kikyo Zoldyck]
"Oh dear, what happened? Why are you covered in blood my baby, are you hurt!?"
"I'm fine mother, it's just the blood of the new servant assigned to me." Said Ash, smiling gently as if he wasn't covered in someone else's blood at that very moment.
"Why did you kill him brother? He just started working for us" Asked Illumi not even bothering to look at Ash, continuing to eat his dinner.
"I killed him because he disrespected me, he insulted a hobby of mine."
"That's my son, don't ever let anyone trample what you believe in." Said Silva with his confidence oozing voice.
"Servant aside, it's about time for you to enter Heaven's Arena boy. You're already five years old, it's time for some real combat." Said Zeno putting his hand on Ash's shoulder, seemingly appearing out of thin air next to Ash.
To Ash, Zeno had truly appeared out of thin air. His eyes were unable to keep up with the speed that Zeno had shown thus far, although it may have seemed to be teleportation in his eyes, Zeno had only gotten up from his chair and walked over to him.
From his birth in this world till now, Ash had been training himself in the art of assassination from his previous life and with the techniques shown by the Zoldycks.
He had undergone Electric shock training, Physical torture training, Waterboarding, Breath Control, Human anatomy training with live humans bought by the family and much more.
He was always consuming poison to train his resistance to poison as it was a family tradition and he'd been doing it in his previous life as well, because you never know when an attempt on your life is made as you eat food.
His steps already being silent at the age of 4, Ash had already learned the silent gait. Training his muscle control to an abnormal degree was nothing but common place in this world.
He had already learned Rythm Echo and could even flex his muscles to such a degree that his fingers become as hard as steel allowing him to pierce through people's heads like mere fruit.
"Okay, I'm ready to leave. When will I be going there?" Asked Ash, excited to cause some bloodshed in the infamous Heaven's Arena.
"I've prepared an air-blimp for you outside; it'll take you directly there. And don't even think about coming back home until you reach the 200th floor." Said Silva, still eating his poisoned food as though it wasn't poisoned and instead tasted delicious.
"Before I head off, are there any more slaves I can use to experiment on? I'd like to test something before I go."
"No, you'll leave now. And I won't tell you again." Said Silva, now raising his eyes to look at Ash.
"Silva dear, don't be so hard on the boy! Let him do his little test on one of the slaves, it won't hurt the air-blimp driver to wait for our boy. After all the man works for us, he doesn't have a say so." Said Kikyo, wanting Ash to enjoy himself before leaving for a couple years even though his little "tests" are but him torturing slaves, skinning them alive and doing all kind of evil things to them.
"Sure, but after you finish immediately head out to Heaven's Arena, the air-blimp is waiting outside." Said Silva, his aura of confidence not wavering for a single second even though it may seem like he'd succumbed to his wife's word's.
"Okay, I'll make sure to board the air-blimp right after I finish."
[Location: Ash's Torture Chamber]
Inside of a dirty, bloody room pungent with the odor of blood there was a man with all of his limbs bound by ropes hanging in the air.
The man had his mouth gagged, naked and bloody.
Whimpers fill the room as Ash steps back in to deliver another round of torture. To his side there are multiple instruments of torture, blades, scalpels, wrench's and even a chainsaw.
Ash had picked up a plastic bucket and sat it under the man, now grabbing a chainsaw Ash had begun to slice through every limb on the man's body.
*ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
The man's screams penetrating the air even as he was gagged soon ceased once Ash had brought the chainsaw to his neck and began sawing through.
The man's head now separated from his body and place inside of the bucket that Ash previously had placed down. Ash had taken this bucket and walked to his left where there was a freezer. Opening the freezer, it was revealed that 6 other heads were inside, frozen as trophies for Ash.
"Hopefully I can gain a couple more trophies once I get to Heaven's Arena. There'll definitely be some strong opponents to kill, I'll definitely have a couple more heads as trophies once I come back home."
In his previous life, Ash had a hobby of collecting some of his fallen victim's heads and freezing them only to keep them as a trophy, further fueling his sadistic and sociopathic nature.
Now time for him to leave, Ash had made his way to the air-blimp outside the family mansion after cleaning the servants blood off of himself.
[Five Days Later]
[Location: Outside of Heaven's Arena]
Standing outside of the massive infrastructure, Ash marveled at the sight of the building then smiled fiendishly.
The 200th floor, I hope it's not too boring.' Ash thought as he stepped into the reception area.
