chapter 1

Chapter One: Ron Zoldyck! Opening the Nen Pores!

Republic of Padokea, Dentora Region, Kukuroo Mountain, lies the Zoldyck Estate

In a tranquil courtyard, an old man and a young boy sit opposite each other.

In the middle is a chessboard.

The chessboard is starkly divided into black and white.

The old man plays black.

The young boy plays white.

Not far away, a middle-aged man stands guard at the door, resembling a butler.

A maid brings over freshly brewed coffee.

A breeze blows, and the rustling sound of leaves fills the air.

The aroma of coffee wafts around.

The young boy is fixated on the chessboard.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Clack!"

A white piece drops onto the board.

The old man glances at the chessboard, his brow slightly raised.

In that moment, the chessboard seems to come alive.

Two phantoms, one black and one white, appear and transform into fierce beasts.

They begin to clash upon the chessboard.

At first, it's back and forth.

Gradually, the black side gains the upper hand, seemingly about to overwhelm the white.

Suddenly, the white side seizes an opportunity, delivering a heavy blow to the black, and begins to expand its advantage.

"Boom!"

Finally, the black creature disintegrates.

The white creature flickers for a moment before also vanishing.

The chessboard returns to calm.

The pieces automatically return to their container.

"Great-grandfather, I won."

The boy looks up at the old man, revealing a smile.

He has been anticipating this moment for a long time.

The boy is a transmigrator.

The name from his past life has lost all significance to him.

In this world, the boy is named Ron.

His full name is Ron Zoldyck.

This is a world known as Hunter x Hunter.

The Zoldyck family is the foremost assassin family in this world.

There are not many members, but each one is extraordinarily powerful.

They do not hide the location of their manor.

Because even if others know, they cannot do anything to the Zoldyck family.

This has attracted many people.

Some are merely curious.

Others wish to make a name for themselves by stepping on the Zoldyck family.

But none have succeeded.

Over time, the entrance to the manor has gradually become a tourist attraction.

Currently, there are ten main family members.

They include Maha Zoldyck.

Chapter Two: The First Step in Nen, Opening the Nen Pores!

Zeno,Silva, Illumi,Milluki, Kikyo, Kalluto, Alluka (Nanika), and Killua.

And then there's Ron.

However, Ron's situation is slightly different from Illumi and the others.

Both Ron and Illumi refer to Maha Zoldyck as "great-grandfather."

But Ron's grandfather is not Zeno Zoldyck; he is Zeno Zoldyck's younger brother.

He has passed away many years ago.

Moreover, Ron's parents left him when he was still very young.

Thus, Ron has been following Maha Zoldyck since childhood.

The two live a secluded life within the Zoldyck Manor.

In fact, many of the butlers and members of the Zoldyck Manor do not even know of Ron's existence.

Due to his past life, Ron understands this world.

This is not an ordinary world; it is one with extraordinary beings who possess powers known as Nen.

Nen has many possibilities.

At nine years old, Ron has been training under Maha Zoldyck's guidance from a young age.

In terms of personal strength, among non-Nen users, he is already considered one of the top.

However, Maha Zoldyck has not taught Ron Nen.

Instead, he set a condition for Ron.

He must win against Maha Zoldyck in a game of Go.

Since they started playing Go three years ago, Ron has finally won for the first time.

This means Ron can now learn Nen.

Ron has waited a long time for this day.

"Great-grandfather, can you teach me Nen now?"

Maha Zoldyck nodded and stood up.

"Come with me."

"Yes, great-grandfather."

Before long, the two entered a secret chamber.

"Bang!"

The door closed.

A dim yellow light flickered.

"I'm sure you have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Yes."

Maha Zoldyck looked at Ron and said, "What we call Nen is actually a type of energy, which includes both physical and mental energy."

"Once you learn Nen, you will enter a completely different level."

"Nen is powerful but also very dangerous."

"Before you learn Nen, it's essential to build a solid foundation, so that your efforts yield greater results."

"You have now reached that point."

Ron is aware of this.

It's similar to how the Zoldyck family approached Killua, and how Ging Freecss trained Gon.

In the beginning, they didn't teach either of them about Nen or even inform them of its existence.

It wasn't until they met certain standards that they were taught.

The encounter between Kikyo and Gon in the Sky Arena seemed coincidental on the surface.

But in reality, it was arranged by the Hunter Association.

To be precise, it was arranged by Netero.

Ging Freecss is a promising protégé that Netero highly regards.

The Zoldyck family has a close relationship with Netero.

These were all deliberate arrangements by both parties.

"The first step in learning Nen is called opening the Nen pores."

In the next moment, Maha Zoldyck's eyes widened slightly.

A strong aura began to emanate from Maha.

Ron felt an intense pressure bearing down on him.

Immediately afterward, there was a loud "bang!"

Ron seemed to hear something, as if something had opened.

He clearly sensed something spilling out from within his body.

He was enveloped all over.

Warm and comfortable.

Ron looked down at his hands.

"Is this the feeling after opening the Nen pores?"
