Starting from Hunter x Hunter as a Master Inventor, by Jackie Chan of Chengang Family

Mog unexpectedly transmigrated into the world of Hunter x Hunter and gained the cheat ability [Master Inventor] along with a Nen ability.

As long as he received someone else's [commission] or [request], he could [invent] the corresponding item!

Strange [inventions] from all kinds of worlds would be unveiled one by one through Mog's hands!!

No food or water? The [Plant Injector] from the Doraemon World guaranteed that you would never go hungry!

Want to improve your strength? Chief Slow Goat's [Power Booster Machine] from Goat Village was your best choice!!

And all sorts of [inventions], whether they enhanced oneself or produced bizarre effects, would all appear in this world.

As these [inventions] displayed their power and effects through Mog's hands, he too became the most insane Master Inventor in everyone else's eyes~!!

Yurubian Continent, a place abandoned by the world.

This place was called Meteor City, bearing the world's garbage and worthless objects.

Precisely because of that, no matter what happened here, the world would never cast its gaze upon it.

That included an outsider who should not have belonged to this world, arriving here in such a peculiar way~

"Phew, I finally figured it out."

Within Meteor City, which was piled high with garbage, a cluster of ramshackle houses stood out amid the heaps of trash.

Inside one cramped, inconspicuous house, a somewhat youthful young man let out a long breath.

"Hunter x Hunter, Yurubian Continent, Meteor City..."

Mog looked at his hands, where the Aura of life energy slowly seeped out, his tone filled with complicated emotions and wistfulness.

"And Nen abilities."

Mog had never imagined that he would be alone in his small apartment on the eighth floor, making some whimsical little inventions.

Then, he watched helplessly as a bus suddenly smashed through the wall and charged straight at him.

And just like that, it sent him to this dangerous world—the crisis-filled world of Hunter x Hunter.

"Although I know this world fairly well, and it even restored my body to when I was young, but..."

The veins on Mog's forehead bulged. "I had absolutely no intention of transmigrating here!!"

He had grown up alone since childhood and had no burdens to speak of.

After growing up, he relied on his love for invention and design to create some decent items, attracting a small audience online.

Through livestreams and short videos, he had managed to save up a little money, bought a small apartment on the eighth floor back in his hometown, and lived a fairly comfortable life.

Just when he thought things were getting better, who could have imagined that he would be directly sent to another world~~~

"Still, fortunately, after transmigrating here, my Nen ability was awakened right away, and it seems to have been enhanced as well..."

He was already here. What else could he say?

Mog could only accept reality, and his mind sank into his Nen ability.

Nen ability: [Master Inventor].

Description: Based on the commissions and requests of others, he could invent items from various infinite worlds.

Ability effects: First, [A true master always keeps the heart of an apprentice]; second, [Invention has no boundaries, but inventors do].

[A true master always keeps the heart of an apprentice]: People could not imagine things they had never seen. Every invention and creation rested upon the foundations laid by those before them. The items invented would come from inventors across infinite worlds, drawing on their strengths and accumulating experience.

[Invention has no boundaries, but inventors do]: Depending on the commissioner's alignment and the purpose of the invention, the invented item would come from inventors of different alignments.

"So that means the things I invent require someone else's commission or request before they can be created~~~"

Mog found that easy enough to understand. After all, wasn't the essence of invention and creation to better serve the world and humanity?

Even most of the little inventions he made during his livestreams were things he only created after the top donor asked for them.

It was like fulfilling wishes. Nothing embarrassing about that~~~

As for the latter two ability effects, the first allowed him to draw on the strengths of many others, with the items he invented coming from inventors across infinite worlds.

"That works too. It's far better than relying on my own invention designs."

Mog nodded. He understood himself very clearly.

He liked inventing, but he could only make some simple little inventions.

For inventions with strange effects and functions, comparable to actual tools or artifacts~~~

He would have to rely on the geniuses from those other infinite worlds.

As for the second point, Mog agreed with it as well. When it came to boundaries, it was better for them to be clearly defined.

The purpose of an object was neither good nor evil. The difference lay only in the person who used it.

Like a kitchen knife—it could be used to chop vegetables, or to chop people~~~

But in Meteor City, the definition of boundaries was extremely vague.

"So it should mainly depend on the intended use."

Mog gradually understood. For example, Gin from One Piece had just escaped his predicament. In terms of alignment, he was undoubtedly on the side of evil pirates.

But what he had wanted at the time was merely food to fill his stomach.

"Likewise, in Meteor City, food is the most important thing..."

Mog rubbed his brow.

After arriving in this world of Hunter x Hunter, he had spent a full two days without leaving the house in order to figure out the situation.

This was indeed Meteor City, and the original owner of the house he was currently in had likely been a lowly resident living atop the garbage mountains.

But two days ago, that person had apparently met with an accident while scavenging through the trash heaps and never returned.

That had conveniently allowed the transmigrated Mog to take over the place seamlessly.

Aside from the cheat ability and Nen ability he had awakened, he had also received the Hunter language of this world and this house as a bonus.

But in Meteor City, was it really a matter of starting with one house and scavenging for everything else?

"The crude food left behind in this house has all been eaten. I need to replenish my supplies."

Feeling a trace of hunger from his stomach, Mog sighed helplessly.

What kind of situation was this? He had finally transmigrated, only to find that he could not even get enough to eat.

As for the idea of going outside and fighting the fierce people of Meteor City for food, Mog immediately passed on it.

At his current stage, where he could barely be considered weak and still developing, he would avoid conflict whenever possible.

Even though he had mastered a Nen ability and could barely be considered a Nen user.

Meteor City was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one knew when a powerful person lurking in the shadows might suddenly appear.

It was better to be cautious.

Besides, he was an inventor. Using inventions and creations to solve the problems before him was his proper means of dealing with things.

Moreover, the Meteor City outside did not seem to be from the period he remembered and understood.

Mog looked at a tattered calendar hanging on the wall of the empty room.

1983.

Uh... what year did this send me to?!!

As everyone knew, Hunter x Hunter's storyline began when its protagonist, Gon, set out on the Hunter Exam to follow in the footsteps of his father, Ging Freecss.

That year was January 1, 1999.

And now it was 1983, a full sixteen years before the official start of the story.

"In other words..."

Mog had rubbed his forehead more than once. "Great Tonpa is thirty years old now, and that old lady who loves diamonds... Well, she shouldn't be an old lady yet. She's only forty-one."

That "only" was used very well.

In other words, the Meteor City outside was probably different from the one he remembered.

Meteor City had already been a dumping ground for waste fifteen hundred years ago.

Throughout all that time, Meteor City had remained in a corner forgotten by the world.

It would truly enter the world's sight in 1989, six years from now.

A certain country suspected an undocumented vagrant of murder and arrested him.

After checking his identity, they found that the vagrant had no nationality and no proof of existence in any society.

He claimed to be a resident of Meteor City, but that country forcibly prosecuted the vagrant, who denied the charges.

The court did not give him a chance to explain and found him guilty.

Three years later, a drug-abusing passing fiend was arrested, and his other crimes were gradually exposed... proving that the vagrant had been innocent.

Immediately afterward, thirty-one people connected to his wrongful conviction—police officers, judges, prosecutors, eyewitnesses, jurors, lawyers...—were all killed.

As for the method used in those killings, it was said that the murderers carried switch-type bombs and died together with their targets, practically committing suicide.

According to eyewitness accounts, they smiled and shook hands with their targets before the bombs exploded.

Thirty-one people in different locations were blown to death at the exact same time.

"We reject nothing, but do not ever think of taking anything from us."

That sentence also became many people's understanding of Meteor City.

As for now~~~
