"Omokage! Quick run!" He yelled.
But Omokage was confused and didn't understand till it was too late.
"My ability countdown lets me touch somebody while saying 'bomber' to place a bomb. You don't have much time." Rodger finished and a bomb with a countdown appeared on Omokage's chest.
"Huh, Cyrus what is happening?!" Omokage shouted.
"Sigh, it is too late." The blue haired youth named Cyrus admitted.
"Are you going to fight me?" Rodger asked, he had already accomplished the hardest part of his goal in order to steal an ability.
Hearing this Cyrus hesitated before widening his eyes, figuring something out.
"Hah, your abilities are all stolen, you definitely want to steal Omokages. But the conditions can't be as simple as killing someone. Wait!" Cyrus realised something.
Smirking again, "so thats it! Omokage doesn't have an ability, so you must need to kill people before their abilities have formed."
It was a perfect ability for a reincarnator, brilliantly so. Allowing them to utilize all their knowledge of the world and take advantage of it.
"If that's so, then I'll—." Cyrus didn't finish his words dashing toward Omokage, as if trying to kill him before Rodger could, thus nullifying the ability.
Seeing this, Rodger's dark expression at seeing his ability be seen through changed.
A fight was destined to go down.
Rodger hastily moved to catch up to Cyrus.
"If you do this, you will also be forced to reveal the depth of your ability's, system user!" Rodger yelled.
Slightly distracting Cyrus enough for Omokage and Rodger to stop him.
Seeing this Cyrus frowned, and activated his Hatsu.
His attire changed to that of an assassin, and darted forward with daggers in hand.
Reaching Rodger who put himself in front of Omokage, Cyrus oddly swung his daggers like a hammer.
Though as he did so, his attire changed into that of a warrior and his daggers changed into a hammer.
Smashing Rodger, and crushing him into dust.
But Cyrus felt something off, glancing at Omokage who was now gone.
He didn't quite know if he defeated his enemy and scared Omokage off.
But he didn't think and transformed into spy attire, amplifying his detection abilities and vanished.
Meanwhile, Omokage was knocked out and being carried by Rodger as they were leaving Meteor city.
Rodger used an ability he had stolen from a future heavens arena participant, Castello, who could make clones.
Cyrus had destroyed a clone, as Rodger made an escape.
It was clear that Cyrus was under prepared, he had an interesting Hatsu that allowed him to utilize different traits based on the character he was cosplaying.
But other than each character having different specialties like, speed, strength or detection. There didn't seem to be any unique abilities Hatsu's assigned or developed to each.
Nor many restrictions to strengthen the Hatsu as a whole.
After gaining a good amount of distance Rodger drew a circle of symbols and teleported away.
Not allowing Cyrus to catch up.
Appearing in his Nen mansion, a number of portals were laid on the ground connecting all over the world.
Rodger directly stabbed Omokage in the heart and spoke. "Hatsu ability: Soul Doll."
His aura shifted.
The ability of soul dolls allowed him to create a doll based on somebody nearby with all their memories, abilities and even personality.
But their strength was dependent on the doll's own strength and durability.
They would have their own independence unless he put real eyes into the doll to control them.
A terrifying ability filled with restrictions and limits.
Deciding to test the ability himself, Rodger looked up. As if through the layers of his Nen mansion.
Gazing at a blue haired loli, Neon Nostrode.
A mafia leader's daughter who had fortune teller ability's. He would have taken it himself, if not for the restriction that he couldn't test his own fortune or read the fortunes he writes.
So he had captured the girl and spoiled her. It was too powerful of an ability to let others use it.
Meanwhile, a conjured doll was appearing in her likeness.
When it appeared it looked around confused before looking at Rodger.
"Rodger! What's going on!" She ran up to him happily.
But he ignored her and plucked the eyes of Omokage before holding down Neon forcefully.
"Ah! Rodger what are you doing?!" Neon screamed but the real Neon had no clue what could be happening, never hearing the screams of the doll or having any memories of this situation.
He forcefully plucked Neon's eyes and replaced them with Omokage, but nothing changed making him frown.
It seemed the eyes used needed the owner of the eyes to be alive.
Sighing he made the doll disappear.
Meanwhile in another part of the world, in an ordinary high school classroom a youth sat, much too young to be in the class.
But as a reincarnator it would be embarrassing to not skip grades. Having figured out they were in a magical world late.
This youth took extremely long to awaken his abilities.
Currently he could be seen unfocused while in class, quietly changing "Devour. Devour. Devour."
It was as if he lost his mind. But he was trying to awaken an ability to devour things.
He had been at this for months now.
"Ryo! What are you doing? Pay attention!" The teacher snapped Ryo out of his delusions.
Ryo just smiled helplessly, nobody would understand but he couldn't give up.
Looking down at his desk, his eyes widened because his pencil was half gone, devoured.
Secretly chanting 'Devour' a number of times again. An energy manifested on his palm and he devoured the rest of the pencil.
Feeling his aura, he couldn't tell a difference but he knew it increased in size and strength. This made him giddy.
Moths passed for him and he realized his devour ability was pitifully weak.
Even devouring animals and even a human corpse he stole from a cemetery hardly increased his aura.
It actually drained him a lot. He had to recover to realize the minuscule gains.
At this rate devouring the whole world would only allow him to reach the strength of a phantom troupe member.
Leading him into a brain breaking search to empire this ability.
It should be noted that Ryo didn't actually know about the hunterxhunter world or that he was in it or what Hunters even were.
He just thought there was magic in this world and through sheer will power and dedication he awakened it.
But he didn't know how it worked or how to find someone to teach him.
Somebody in a similar situation was Balm Freeces, born on whale island. Balm didn't even know this was a magical world despite how she appeared in this world.
Not a very ambitious person in general, she had never left the island, working with her mom Mito ever since she could help out.
Even when her mysterious relative Ging appeared and left a baby boy, she never thought of anything.
But today somebody arrived on the island. A reincarnator who Roman had marked before, a weak reincarnator who's name didn't even need to be mentioned.
He had joined, Rodger group and his goal was Gon.
Most likely with bad intentions.
Nobody had gone to whale island for Gon because everybody assumed there to be a powerful reincarnator, a trick to protect Gon left by Ging or that someone had already reached Gon before anybody else.
This reincarnator was trying to test her luck.
Easily sneaking into Gon's house and attempting to kidnap him.
Something unexpected and unexplainable occurred and the reincarnation unexpectedly died. Something that was all witnessed by Balm.
Who was now questioning her entire life.
Back to Roman and Menchi, their journey ended, changing them and how they viewed the world.
Meeting up and sending Rogan off to the hunter exam. They waited nearby for the inevitable results.
Roman now had a firm grasp on the known world, and everything magical inside.
For the next week awaiting Rogan and Menchi's second star.
Sending her to apply for an official hunter position, to finish the second condition to achieving her second star.
Roman entered the hunters tavern and began posting jobs for a number of magical resources.
They had acquired a lot during their journey, but the mystery's and magic of the known world was endless and impossible to explore it all.
It just made him more and more curious about the dark continent.
Their next adventure would be greed island, he had put it off for long enough.
Roman didn't want anything from greed island, only to learn how it worked and expand his Nen inscription and divine script knowledge.
These were crucial skills to him that would be invaluable in the dark continent.
Knowing it would take at least two weeks before he could meet anybody who wished to complete his task.
Roman decided to get a head start, and entered greed island, leaving a note for Menchi. Specifically for her not to join him.
Appearing in a futuristic black and white building, Roman ignored the person who was explaining the rules, instead he studied the walls filled with inscriptions for a while.
He wasn't allowed to stay for long and was eventually kicked out, but he kept replaying the scene in his mind as he wandered aimlessly.
Reaching a city, there was even more instructions and even unique Nen beasts for him to study.
Nen beasts that took the form of people and interacted with people like NPC's.
Exploring a few cities on the small island, Roman didn't explore everything.
Spending three days inside, before finding and defeating the harbormaster to return.
Menchi wasn't happy with his independent excursion. But he needed a chance to study alone, she was nice to have around but was equally distracting.
Taking a break for the next few days, until Rogan eventually arrived.
Surprisingly Menchi had to go through a special exam to hold an official position.
It wasn't that difficult and Menchi passed. There were four official positions within the hunter association. The president, vice-president, the zodiacs and ambassador.
Almost everyone became hunter ambassadors, just like Menchi.
Somebody that would be at the beck and call to receive missions from the association. Like to be an hunter exam examiner, to go on diplomacy missions to other countries to open and operate a branch or for a number of many special reasons.
