Whale Island.
Where dreams begin.
The sky and sea blend into a bright blue, seagulls fly in flocks, and the island's residents live peacefully, working in harmony.
Near the harbor, in a lush tree, a young man dressed entirely in green, complete with a straw hat adorned with leaves, is deeply focused on fishing.
Not far from him, another young man of similar age with black hair and black eyes is lounging comfortably on a tree branch. His skin is pale, his face exceptionally handsome, and he is enjoying the sunlight with a blade of dogtail grass in his mouth.
Kinoe arrived in these waters three years ago, saved by a kind young woman named Mito.
At first, Kinoe thought this place was just an ordinary seaside village in another world. However, everything changed the day he saw the green-clad boy—Gon!
That was when Kinoe realized he had entered the world of Hunter X Hunter!
A world teeming with monsters and ruthless people, where laws barely exist. In the future, even Chimera Ants emerge, almost leading to the destruction of all humanity.
Fortunately, Kinoe was granted the Gourmet System, a system accessible only to a time traveler like him.
However, to activate this system, there was a strange requirement: he had to sunbathe 1,000 times consecutively.
[Ding! You are sunbathing, system charge +50, activation level increased to 99.99999%...]
[Ding! You are sunbathing, system charge +50, activation level increased to 100%...]
[System is now activating...]
[Linked to sole user: Kinoe]
[Activation complete. Congratulations! You have received the novice gift pack + random food hunting opportunity from all dimensions*1.]
A melodious voice resounded in Kinoe's mind, like heavenly music.
"It's finally activated! I've been sunbathing for over three years, and I haven't even gotten a tan!"
Kinoe almost cried with joy. At last, the perks of being a time traveler were starting to show.
But this system... it sounded a bit odd.
A status panel appeared before his eyes:

In an instant, Kinoe felt as though he had undergone hundreds of years of culinary training. He mastered all techniques, from frying and grilling to perfectly balancing spices.
With his newfound cooking prowess, Kinoe was confident he could thrive in this world. However, the looming threat of Chimera Ants still unsettled him.
"I must become stronger!"
When he noticed the Gourmet Talent on his status panel, Kinoe became even more excited.
[Ding! A random food hunting opportunity from all dimensions has been detected. Would you like to use it?]
Without hesitation, Kinoe agreed.
[Ding! Commencing food hunting...]
[Success! Congratulations! You have obtained the Glint-Glint Fruit from the world of One Piece.]
