An Overly Hellish Private Setting

The Hunter x Hunter world, Meteor City.

Airships frequently hovered overhead, dumping large quantities of discarded items, or rather, trash, downwards.

The sky was a deep gray, as if isolated by smog, with not a hint of blue visible. Trucks transporting garbage came and went around them constantly.

Trash was piled high into mountains, and scavenging Vultures circled at low altitudes.

The air was filled with a rotten stench, making one feel utterly miserable.

Personnel in full protective gear and gas masks patrolled the area, while others in rudimentary protective equipment lurked around the trash mountains, waiting for an opportunity.

And atop one of these trash heaps sat a boy who didn't look very old.

He wore no protection, just a white hooded sweatshirt, black shorts, white socks, and white sneakers.

He also had white hair, frost-white long eyelashes, and eyes as blue as the sky.

The moment one saw him, the word "angel" would come to mind, if... he didn't have those strange black markings on his body.

The markings spread from his face all the way down his body.

His white clothes also bore a large bloodstain, seemingly indicating his danger.

"Is my headcanon really too hellish?" the white-haired boy asked, holding a worm-eaten red apple, his expression conflicted, as if hesitating whether to take a bite.

"It's just cosplaying as Gojo Satoru who swallowed Sukuna's finger, right? And introducing myself by saying you can call me Ryomen Sukugo or Gojo Sukuna?" The boy's voice grew lower as he spoke, and he finally sighed.

"Even though in the manga, Gojo Satoru was killed by Ryomen Sukuna, and the death scene was very rushed and clownish, feeling like he died just for the sake of dying. Although..."

"This headcanon is a bit hellish for the sake of a gag."

"But stabbing someone is a bit much, it really hurts." The boy touched his chest, where the clothes were covered in bloodstains and had a hole.

In fact, a knife had been stuck there not long ago.

His name was Su Wu, a rabbit from China, his age temporarily kept secret. He had just passed the first important exam of his extremely competitive life, though it wasn't the college entrance exam.

Perhaps for some, the college entrance exam was the most important, and perhaps the only, exam that changed their destiny. But for someone like Su Wu... born in Haidian, the college entrance exam was already a distant prospect.

Despite his young age, he was already a moderately famous cosplayer, regularly sharing his cosplay routines and makeup on online platforms.

He had over a million followers combined on Douyin and Xiaohongshu, achieving financial freedom at a young age.

He was hailed as "Teacher" by a crowd of anime fans online.

Of course, as a rabbit, he also had a bit of a mischievous streak, occasionally cosplaying his own headcanon characters.

Due to his age and height limitations, except for characters who were explicitly depicted as elementary school students, he mostly cosplayed the childhood versions of characters.

He had done gender-bent versions, such as male Amu Hinamori, Ai Haibara, Ran Mouri, Rem and Ram...

He had also done childhood gender-bent versions of Shuichi Akai, Gin, Bourbon, Osamu Dazai...

Normal characters included young Osamu Dazai, Megumi Fushiguro (elementary school period), Chuuya Nakahara, Killua Zoldyck, and the divine child Gojo Satoru...

Of course, Chuuya Nakahara was a character he could cosplay from the Sheep King era all the way to the Port Mafia era.

Because of the other party's height... there wasn't much change.

This also meant the height requirement for cosplayers wasn't very high.

Then, at a recent anime convention, stimulated by the latest plot developments in Jujutsu Kaisen, his mischievous nature erupted, and he cosplayed his own headcanon.

The divine child Gojo Satoru, but... who had swallowed Sukuna's finger.

The concept was: "The Strongest can only be restrained by the Strongest," so the arrogant and confident divine child imprisoned Ryomen Sukuna within himself.

Strongest x2, stronger and stronger, the ultimate supreme version.

As for logic? There was no logic. The original manga was already so wild, what was wrong with his headcanon being a little wild too?

Excitedly, he wore Gojo Satoru's tracksuit, drew Sukuna's tattoos all over his face and body, and eagerly headed to the convention venue.

Facing the gazes of many who were stunned, thinking, "My god, what kind of performance is this?", he didn't feel anything at first.

After all, gag characters made up the majority at anime conventions, and many people happily lined up to take photos with him.

Besides, he was already cosplaying, who cared what others thought? How many people in the anime community weren't a little eccentric?

Until a man with a frantic expression, clearly mentally unstable, rushed up to him and stabbed him through the heart with a knife.

To his death, Su Wu never understood why he was targeted by that lunatic.

Was that guy randomly picking unlucky people?

He closed his eyes and opened them again to find himself in the air.

A being calling itself the "Mischief System" spoke to him.

[Welcome to the Jujutsu Kaisen world. Please make everyone in this world believe that your headcanon is actually Gojo Satoru from another world.]

[Our slogan is: Let's add some mischief to life.]

Then, he fell into a pile of trash.

[Error detected. World positioning error occurred.]

"So... where is this now?" Su Wu, who was immediately buried by the trash upon falling, poked his head out of the garbage heap and asked calmly.

As a veteran of the anime world, he was very familiar with the process of dying, transmigrating to another world, and being bound to a system.

[Current Location--]

[Hunter x Hunter world's Meteor City.]

The system's voice gradually lowered.

[Main quest is being changed--]

[Please max out your compatibility with the characters in this world.]

[Language pack loaded.]

[Host, please strive to survive until the system collects enough energy to travel to another world.]

[Current world danger level--High Risk] Its voice instantly became filled with inorganic coldness.

"Meteor City..." Su Wu trailed off, wanting to say more.

Hunter x Hunter, he knew that world very well. Meteor City, the home of the Phantom Troupe, he was also very familiar with.

Meteor City was a notorious super-large garbage dump in the Hunter world, its survival environment considered hellish in many fanfictions.

For someone like him, who couldn't tell the difference between grains, was physically weak, had never fought anyone, never even argued with anyone, and immediately called the police when encountering trouble, let alone surviving until the system gathered enough energy to go to the Jujutsu world, he might not even make it through tonight.

"I'll probably be the fastest transmigrator to die," Su Wu said, closing his eyes peacefully, ready to sleep forever in the garbage heap.

Life was a boring game, and even changing worlds was just like switching to a new game instance for him.

Since it was a game, death wasn't something difficult to accept.

He had lived his life with this mindset all along.

Until a pair of hands yanked him out of the garbage heap, he remained quite calm.

He had no idea where those hands were dragging him.

"...What do they want?" Su Wu asked the system blankly.

[This is Meteor City.] the system reiterated.

"Oh, Meteor City..." Su Wu suddenly understood.

Based on the behavior of Meteor City residents he'd seen in old fanfictions...

They would probably strip him naked, then tear him apart and eat him...

No, absolutely not.

He could accept death, but not this kind of death.

"System, I request novice protection," he typed into the system in his mind.

[Please host strive to increase character compatibility--]

[For every certain level of compatibility reached, you will obtain partial abilities of that character.]

"Then should I try to increase compatibility with Gojo Satoru or Ryomen Sukuna?" Su Wu's expression was conflicted. Even now, he still didn't show fear, instead carrying a playful, nonchalant air.

He shouldn't have gone with custom settings. How was he supposed to increase compatibility now? What a hassle.

This system was originally intended for him to cause trouble in the Jujutsu world with the setting of "[Gojo Satoru who swallowed Sukuna's finger]," shocking other characters.

But something went wrong, and he ended up in the Hunter world.

[Host needs to max out compatibility with both characters simultaneously.] the system prompted.

Feeling the silent crowd surrounding him, already starting to strip him and preparing to dismember him, Su Wu mused.

He seemed to feel a certain energy within his body.

Could it be from Gojo Satoru and Sukuna? But the amount of this energy was a bit small... If he had inherited theirs, it shouldn't be this little.

Speaking of which, since he arrived in this world, the world he saw was different from that of ordinary people. The objects he saw appeared almost like thermal imaging, and he could see energy emanating from above the heads of the people surrounding him.

This was the Hunter world's [aura]...

He could even clearly analyze the height, weight, heart rate, and even body hair and clothing material information of these people.

They were all ordinary people.

Gojo Satoru and Sukuna used Cursed Energy to use their skills, while the Hunter world's power system was called Nen, which originated from negative emotions, whereas Nen was life energy.

He didn't have to worry about conflicts between the power systems later on.

Information about all the garbage spread throughout the surroundings, what each item was, its degree of damage, and its material, was captured and analyzed by the Six Eyes.

So his Six Eyes had become a reality.

A string of complex yet useless information flooded his mind, making it feel as if his head had gained several pounds, as if something was pressing down on him, making his thoughts sluggish...

But he could still endure it. He should deal with these guys first.

Evil needs to be dealt with by evil; he should treat them as they treat others.

Those who kill must also be prepared to be killed, right?

I'll just use Sukuna's abilities. I wonder which of Sukuna's abilities I'll be able to use.

He opened his eyes expressionlessly, staring directly at the people standing around him, looking down at him. "Who gave you permission to look down on me? Trash."

As he opened his eyes, an invisible slash appeared, instantly eliminating several ordinary people around him.

Blood splattered on the spot, and dismembered limbs lay everywhere, achieving a true, literal "brains spilled and blood splattered on the ground."

[Current Ryomen Sukuna Compatibility -- 10%]

[Gojo Satoru Compatibility -- 20%]

His compatibility with Gojo Satoru is actually this high? Ah, right, it must be his appearance.

He must have brought his own body over, so the chest of his clothes was still torn, but the stab wound had already healed.

His hair was deliberately dyed white and styled. To prevent the white hair from making him look sallow, he applied a layer of the whitest body paint to his skin. The colored contacts were also custom-made Six Eyes models.

When it came to cosplaying, he never skimped on spending money.

However, after transmigrating, no matter how he looked, his hair was white with no black roots, his skin was naturally snow-white, and his eyes looked like natural Six Eyes. No matter how much he rubbed, he couldn't find any trace of colored contacts.

Including Sukuna's compatibility, it was probably due to the cursed markings he drew on himself.

But... the burden of the Six Eyes seems to be greater than he imagined?

[Six Eyes] Gojo Satoru's eyes, and also a type of passive ability. A 360-degree field of vision, allowing him to see things at extremely long distances. Of course, he can also see energy, such as Cursed Energy, or the 'Ki' on people in the Hunter x Hunter world.

Su Wu looked at the nosebleed that had started dripping down at some point. He casually wiped it away, but new blood quickly began to flow again.

Because he was originally just an ordinary person, and the Six Eyes are a very mentally taxing existence even for Gojo Satoru, who was born a Jujutsu Sorcerer?

Even Gojo Satoru wears sunglasses or covers his eyes due to the burden of the Six Eyes.

Was his brain bleeding to issue a warning because it had never withstood such pressure before?

Or was it for some other reason? Like... the so-called compatibility?

Thinking of this, Su Wu tilted his head back, trying to force the nosebleed back up, while taking a bite out of the undamaged side of a worm-eaten apple.

"My mouth tastes weird..." he mumbled, chewing.

"Did I accidentally eat a worm?"

After all, it was an apple he found in a trash heap... it's pretty normal.

"Worm-eaten apples really shouldn't be eaten." He casually tossed the apple core aside.

The progress bar symbolizing energy collection was blank.

There was also a line of small text next to it.

[When the progress bar is filled with deep red, the system can open the dimensional passage again.]

God knows when that will happen.

"Starting today, I am the strongest. So, should I call myself Ryomen Sukuna, or Gojo Sukuna? Or Sukuna Go?" Su Wu sat on the garbage heap, his head still tilted back, gazing at the gloomy sky, muttering to himself with a hint of boredom.

If I want to increase Ryomen Sukuna's compatibility, do I need to massacre a city first? Killing hundreds of thousands or millions of people should increase compatibility pretty quickly, right?

Ah, that's too evil and villainous. Hold back, hold back.

Su Wu flung the terrible thought out of his mind, but he also clearly understood one thing—

This was no longer the world he was familiar with. Any moral constraints no longer applied to him, and he no longer needed to hide his true nature in front of others, pretending to be no different from an ordinary person.

He could be completely unrestrained.

PS: [The protagonist mostly acts on their true nature, a 'Schrödinger's conscience' type of troll who isn't a normal person, a bit crazy.]

[Excitedly starting this story because I like it. My writing skills are average, like a primary schooler's (there's nothing I can do to improve drastically), and it's pretty bad. I'll add some personal touches. Please leave your brain at the door when reading.]

[The protagonist already has a system, so don't overthink whether the skills are reasonable or not. It's better for both you and me.]

[I'm not a professional writer, and my results don't earn much money. It's all thanks to my stubbornness.]

[The protagonist won't be invincible from the start, nor will he immediately punch the chairman, kick the Ant King, and crush the Phantom Troupe.]

[The style leans towards bland, everyday life, with little passionate or exciting scenes. If you're looking for constant ups and downs, then forget it.] [Emphasis: It's really, really, really, really, really boring! I think what I'm writing is trash myself, sorry.]

[Advance warning: The protagonist has Nen abilities. If you can't accept that, then never mind.]

[If it doesn't suit your taste, just leave. No need to specifically comment and make me mourn your departure.]

Don't see that the protagonist has low mana at the start and the Six Eyes are a heavy burden and say I'm suppressing his power or that you're talking nonsense. For the reason, please see chapter fifty-two later. Don't be so eager to label me as talking nonsense.
