In the dense forest leading to the peak of Kukuru Mountain, Roy sat cross-legged atop Sanmao's broad back. His cane-sword rested horizontally across his knees as he calmly opened his character panel—his daily routine.
That's right. Roy awakened a golden finger—the Character Template System—on the day he was born. It allowed him to draw figures from other worlds and unlock their abilities through simulation.
As a beginner's gift, the system granted him his first character: Admiral Fujitora.
Perhaps it was fate. For a blind boy like Roy, no template suited him better than that of the blind Admiral who bent gravity to his will.
This was the source of Roy's confidence—the reason he dared descend the mountain alone for supplies.
After all, the Hunter x Hunter world was no less terrifying than Naruto's.
It was a world brimming with bizarre Nen abilities and monstrous foes.
The Hunter Association, the Phantom Troupe, the Ten Dons, V5, the Kakin Empire, the Chimera Ants… and of course, the Zoldycks themselves—none were to be taken lightly.
Without sufficient strength, a blind man wandering around this world would be nothing more than easy prey.
The Mani brothers were a good example of that foolishness.
"Knowing your limits is the first step toward survival."
"Right, Sanmao?" Roy said casually.
With his system panel, both training and combat contributed experience points.
Just now, defeating the Mani brothers had awarded him a small amount. Combined with nine points earned from past training, he had exactly ten.
Without hesitation, Roy invested all ten points into his "Physique" stat.
His physical strength rose from 60 to 70 instantly.
A wave of heat surged from within, coursing through every cell of his body.
Though his blind eyes remained unfocused, Roy could immediately sense a tangible change.
His body felt more powerful—stronger, faster, and more durable. As his physique improved, his strength, speed, and aura naturally surged with it.
The progress was extraordinary.
"Woof~" Sanmao growled lowly, seemingly sensing something strange.
Its large, copper-bell-like pupils contracted slightly, and Roy felt a shift in weight.
Due to his increased muscle and bone density, Roy had grown slightly heavier.
Monsters had sharper senses than humans, especially one like Sanmao—raised by the Zoldycks to eliminate intruders.
"Haha, your nose is sharp as always," Roy chuckled as he gently patted Sanmao's massive head, genuinely pleased.
With the wind howling through the mountain passes, he released a wave of Observation Haki.
As a partial unlock of "Fujitora's Smile," Roy had inherited not only his ability to control gravity, but also his swordsmanship, Armament Haki, and sharp Observation Haki.
The man once blinded himself and declared to the world:
"It is a blessing not to see… because this world is full of filth."
Roy took those words to heart.
Facing the forest ahead, with sunlight filtering through the trees, he suddenly sensed a presence.
A small figure approached from the mountain path.
It was a girl with vivid red dreadlocks and a sharp navy-blue uniform—her posture upright and her expression mature beyond her years. She looked no older than twelve, yet already acted like an old soul.
"Good afternoon, young master," Kanaria greeted, hearing the approaching footsteps. She spotted Roy riding Sanmao and quickly bowed in respect.
Sanmao came to an immediate halt before the Zoldyck gate and lay down. As per Silva's house rules, Sanmao was not allowed to enter the courtyard.
Roy stepped down, one hand holding a plastic bag, the other gripping his cane. He nodded lightly.
"Yo~ Good afternoon."
He walked forward unhurriedly, his steps light as wind, and passed by her without pause.
But the moment she turned, Roy was already behind her.
"Wha… When did he get there?"
Kanaria froze. Her body stiffened reflexively, clutching her cane tightly.
"Relax," Roy said, noting her startled reaction.
He sighed inwardly. His control over his new physique still wasn't perfect.
That was the price of sudden improvement—his body now outpaced his awareness.
He had grown too fast, too suddenly.
What felt normal to him was, in fact, unnaturally fast to others.
"It seems I still need time to adjust," Roy thought, then looked toward Kanaria.
After a pause, he said gently, "Kanaria, there's something I've been meaning to say."
"Even if one is master and the other is servant… we can still be friends."
