the forests of the Lukso Province
trees and plants with swirl patterns, strange birds flying in the sky, weird beasts hiding in the dark waiting for their prey.
In the depths of this forest, a young boy is walking leisurely, unaware of the fierce eyes of the monsters that are waiting for an opportunity to eat him.
The boy looks like in his teens, he had short blonde hair, smooth white skin, wearing a dark kurta with a red Mobius stripe symbol on his chest.
a long katana that exceeds his height on his waist.
a green snake blending within the bushes, sticking its tongue out, smelling the fragrance of human meat, determining the direction of its prey, its body shots like An arrow towards the young boy.
*swish*
The young boy kept waking forward.
Just when the snake was about to reach his neck, the young boy suddenly took a step to the right side at the right moment.
As if time slowed down, he held the sword on top of his head, then he swept it through the neck of the snake who was still in the air. immediately separated its head from its body!
*thud*
The snake fell dead, but its body kept twitching.
looking at the headless snake, the boy complained
"Are These snakes endless? I can't even remember how many of them I killed just a few minutes ago!"
the boy sighed.
His name is Shen, he is a 12 years old kurta tribe member. this is his current identity.
But his real identity is a transmigrator.
Li Shen, a 30 years old Chinese man from planet earth. after his death in the real world, his soul came to this world and he started his life again from zero.
unlike those transmigrators who retain their memories since their birth or even in the womb, Shen didn't have such benefits, he lived like normal kids, if it wasn't for that accident then he would continue living ignorantly.
That accident changed his life forever! Although he got seriously injured and almost paralyzed, It was simply a blessing in disguise!
"Thank god that I awakened my cheat or else I would have died countless times by now!" Shen thought
By now you may be wondering, what accident Shen went through that allowed him to regain his memories and even discover his cheat? Or you may be curious to know what kind of cheat Shen has?
This is a long story. A year ago, before Shen regained his memories, he was playing with his young brother and his best friend.
The three of them were playing beside a cliff. Shen doesn't remember clearly what happened but the only thing that is still deeply engraved in his mind is the scene of his young brother about to fall to death from the cliff.
Seeing his younger brother about to die, hearing his scream filled with despair, Shen's eyes turned red, he rushed with all his strength in the hope to catch him. But to no avail! He is so slow.
At that moment, Shen never wished to be faster in his life than that day, he wished if time could stop, he wished if he was as fast as lightning, no matter what, he wished to reach his brother's hand at all costs!
Under such a strong desire, something deep inside his soul seems to be awakened! Shen still remembers that scene.
The world in his eyes became still as if someone pressed the pause button! But that's not all, the amazing thing is that a Golden book came out of his right hand!
The moment it appeared it dyed the whole world in a golden brilliance!
The golden book opened slowly, revealing countless white pages. All the golden aura that escaped from it before condensed on the first page, turning it into a shining golden page!
Then as if it's torn by an invisible hand, the golden page rushed straight into Shen's eyebrows.
All of this happened in an instant and only Shen noticed such a phenomenal thing.
But Shen, whose goal is only to save his brother, didn't care at all about such a phenomenon, he kept rushing as before.
Shen didn't notice that after the golden page entered his body, his speed soared!
Like a bolt of lightning, he reached his brother's hand instantaneously and pulled him up!
Only the third person, their best friend Pairo, saw such a scene. Shen, who was far away, suddenly appeared at the edge of the cliff! But because he was also trying to save his best friend so he didn't think too much
It was supposed to be a happy ending, but another accident happened again.
Shen did not control his speed! He was so fast that no matter how much he tried he couldn't stop at all.
So to not die with his younger brother, Shen pulled him up but this leads to Shen becoming the one falling!
then he fell down the cliff!
Fortunately, there were trees below the cliff that reduced the impact, or else he would have died.
so he managed to survive at the cost of breaking several bones.
It was this accident that helped him regain his memories, and discover his real identity and what type of world he comes to!
It turns out he came to the Hunter x Hunter world!
Originally this was just a manga and anime in his previous world, but now it has become the world he lives in! It was a big blow to Shen that time, fortunately, he managed to pass it.
Knowing he came to such a dangerous world, and as a previous fan of HunterxHunter, even though he watched only the 2011 version of the anime. But this is enough to let him know what is going to happen to the kurta tribe he lives in!
In the near future, a group of criminals known as The Spider( or the phantom troupe) will come to his village and kill all his fellow clansmen! They will torture the young and old to dig out their scarlet eyes! Then they will sell it on the black market.
Knowing such a thing is going to happen to his loved ones, Shen, who is heavily injured in the cliff incident, can't withstand this blow! Because currently, he can't do anything! He is completely helpless, he can only wait for the spider to come and take his life, and everything he cherished, from his family, friends, and home.
One word can describe Shen's current state now: DESPAIR!
But he wasn't completely hopeless! He remembered the golden book he saw when he was saving his brother, he thought this may be the turning point to change his destiny!
"The book of Heavens!" This is the name of the golden book.
Shen doesn't know what its origin, nor why it chose him, he only knows the function of this golden book and its capabilities.
The book of heavens its main function is to turn any good deed Shen did into something called Merits.
Then it uses these Merits to improve Shen's overall physical strength, and by the way, it absorbs some of it for itself, for the book of heavens, Merits are its food and nutrients that help it to grow and evolve.
Another Heaven-defying ability of the Book of Heavens is: Wish Realisation!
Yes, you guessed right!
Shen used this ability unintentionally at that time of the accident, he wished to be faster, and his wish got realized.
But there is a price for everything, you need to consume a certain amount of Merits to realize your wish, the more difficult the wish is, the higher the number of Merits is needed for it to be fulfilled!
To respond to Shen's wish, the book of Heavens used all of Shen's past life and current life Merites as a price to fulfill his wish.
And he got his first ability :
—-------------------------------
Ability: Absolute speed
Description: the ability to have absolute control over the concept of 'speed'.
—-------------------------------
This is the information that appeared on the golden page
The book of heavens is like a glimmer of light in the darkness, it's the hope, the chance to change his fate, and protect what he cherishes must!
