Hunter x Hunter: Steady Steps ch1

[3rd Person POV]

In a hospital in Yorknew City, a strange situation was happening, the child that was just born wasn't crying, not only that the child was looking at the doctor as if he could understand what is going on.

[1st Person POV]

'Did I just get reborn?' Well, nothing lost I guess, the last 10 years of my life were pretty boring when you get past the 70 everything starts to lose meaning, after I started to get health issues and couldn't do whatever I wanted I started to think about ending it all but this works for me, maybe this life will be more interesting than the last, later in life I came to the conclusion that studying and working in genetics for 35 years wasn't a good decision, the 5 first years went fast but after that everything started to slow down, after all, It was a repetitive job and never made a grand breakthrough, the saving grace was the money that I made.'

'Thanks to that I lived comfortably but for the most part was boring, working, time with the family, playing games with my grandchildren and watching anime with them. The anime was also a saving grace when I was older, most of the time was watching it, manga was not my thing and I just tried once to read Naruto, but nothing else, anime was just more appealing.'

It took him 3 days to know where he was and to be fair It was easy, when looking outside the window of the room in the hospital you could see a big poster with [WELCOME TO YORKNEW CITY], so one could assume fairly easy that he was in Hunter x Hunter.

'So Nen it is, it's good that I watched the anime, even if the manga was more advanced, until the 13th Hunter Chairman Election arc I remember almost everything, the first thing I need is to open mi aura nodes with meditations because I doubt any Nen user will open them for a child'

[Time Skip 5 years]

'It was a surprise when 1 year ago mi new parents send me to pre-school, to be honest, I didn't think that there was an obligatory school in this world and because of that mi time in meditation got reduced a lot, but a year ago I finally opened all my pores and finally achieved [Ten] today, I thought that reincarnation would come with massive talent in Nen but it took me 5 years just to do this, I don't even want to think how much time I will need to create the [Hatsu] that I have in mind but I am sure that the time invested will pay in the future, another thing is mi aura type which is [Specialization] and I hope that thanks to that mi [Hatsu] will be completed fast, for now I need to learn [Zetsu]'

'During these 5 years my new family was as normal as one can imagine, I am an only son and we live good, my father has a butcher shop inerted from his father and my mother just helps with it, we are well off, but even with all this time I don't think I would be able to see them as family, after living 80 years with a happy family it's almost impossible to see a younger person as my father or mother, I will just do like Gon and leave for the hunter exam when I am 12 and after that, I will see what to do.'

[Time Skip 3 years (8 years old total)]

'It was hard but I finally got my [Hatsu], even with all the conditions that it has it was hard to develop'

The [Hatsu] developed in 3 years of constant training and self-reflection of the most optimal [Hatsu] that he could is like this.

Hatsu: Theft Through Eating

After activating the ability and eating 1kg or more of DNA you can choose up to 2 capabilities of the DNA consumed. The capabilities absorbed are not Nen dependent and are implemented in the DNA of the user permanently, it adapts to the human body and there are no side effects. The base appearance is never changed so there is no way of acquiring new limbs, the changes in external factors are invisible without the help of a microscope or similar.

The conditions are the following:

-The kg of DNA has to be eaten in a day.

-The process of assimilating the new parts is conducted during Zetsu and it takes 2190 hours or 3 months in total.

-Can be done once every 365 days

-Needs to have basic information of the capabilities absorbed

-The user has to have died once

'It has harsh conditions but it was the best I could do,I even managed to put a bit of a loophole in the Zetsu conditions, in which I will only need to close the aura pores in the part that is changing, now with all the money that I have accumulated doing chores is time to go shopping'

[3rd Person POV]

A child with black hair and a backpack could be seen walking in the streets of Yorknew City it was early in the morning and if you know the city he was in the shopping district, he was going in a straight line towards a fish shop, just a moment later he entered it.

*Ding dong*

"Hello little guy, do you need something?" There was a middle-aged lady attending the shop, she wore a little smile

"Mmm yes ma'am, I just need a kilo and half of octopus, can you show me which types do you have?"

"Come here, I just have these 3 If you needed one specific you need to tell me in advance."

The kid picked one of them in with seemed without much thought

"The total is xxx, thanks for shopping"

After paying the child secured the octopus package in his backpack and returned home.
