Introduction

This is a story about (Ven) an experienced mercenary and experienced hunter, who meet with another experienced hunter called Kite, who is on a quest to search for clues about Ging's whereabout.

As a mercenary, I never really did pick any sides unless they pay me to do so. But, they always expect us (mercenaries) to work as frontline for their soldiers. Stating that "we" are nothing more than a mere "scout". We simply just following and nodding their orders even when they told us to confront our enemy which (sometimes) are much better equipped and way more in number than us.

This is my story as a mercenary fighting for an indenpendent country which is on the verge to disappear because of war and also a story about a friend .. who is called Kite, a hunter who is on a quest to search for a Legendary Hunter named Ging Freecs.

Chapter 1 : FRIEND OR TROUBLE ?

For the first time ever, I somehow got myself separated from my squad members and pinned down by an overwhelming enemy forces. Since, I rarely use my nen ability against my enemy because it will be such a waste if I were to use it on someone who doesn't even know what "Nen" is and the risk of having my nen ability reveal to other nen user which could be my enemy is kinda high. In time like this, I got no choice but to run while keeping my Ken (Basic of nen ; shroud your whole body with your aura, balance your aura between defence and attack) active which help protect me if any stray bullet hits me while I'm on the run.

My mission this time, are to provide cover and support for the main troop at a town which looks like a deserted place, covered with brown sand like we're in the middle of a desert. My team or should I say, my squad was ordered to take our enemies attention while our main force work their way behind our enemy lines of defense. Sounds like a good strategy, but, it's a BAD NEWS for us!

Knowing that my squad members could probably be dead by now, I chose the worst best method available. RUN. Since each of us got seperated quite far and as a mercenary, we only need to concern for our own lives rather than others and most of the times, it helps. I possess the ability that surpassed an average human in terms of strength, speed, agility, concentration, stamina and life energy. So, I'll be just fine on my own even if I do encounter any nen user on our enemy side that is.

But on the battlefield, we never know which enemy or what kind of enemy, we might encounter. I might face an opponent who's better than me and can use "Nen" better than me. That is why, I intend to hide my nen ability unless I face an opponent that requires my nen ability to defeat them as I only use my nen ability when necessary.

As an experienced nen user as myself, its better to keep my identity a secret. But there is a time where we need to reveal ourself. Well that depends.

As I run across the street to get out of the open area, I stumbled across a guy with long white hair, wearing a white long sleeve turtle neck and he's wearing a tight long pant while hiding his face behind his hat. And this is terrible, because I can sense something bad from him. Something unusual or rather different than any normal human. THIS GUY CAN USE NEN!. Since this kind of encounter is quite normal for me but this time, its quite difference. This guy is different than any nen user I've faced in the past. This guy is way better than them, I can feel it. I just know it. This guy is not your ordinary nen user. As the guy in front of me raise his hand, I immediately raise my Ren and start focusing on the guy.

He said ".. Calm down, I've no quarrel with you." I reply "How can I know if you're not lying …". The moment of silent makes me think that the guy infront of me didn't do anything but just keeping his nen steady showing that he's not preparing to attack but for me, instead of being relax about it, I further increase my Ren strength, while hoping that I've prepared for the worst.

He said "I've no intention of fighting you." Again I said "How can I know if you're not lying …" but this time, I speak with higher voice. He then said "I'm searching for someone called Ging Freecs … do you know him?" he ask. I shake my head. In fact, I don't understand the question he ask of me given that we're actually in a "grave" situation, we're in a red zone spot here, so asking me question like this, is he airhead or something? But, that name is quite familiar and famous for every hunter who seek for power and influence. Who doesn't know about one of the most powerful hunter in the world? Unless you're rookie hunter.

"What do you want with him?" I ask, he simply reply that he need as many information he could gather about Ging, stating that he need to find him as fast as he can. "Why do you search someone like him, in a place like this? .. this place is not even touch by any normal hunter unless you're prepare to die in the middle of a war between this two country .." He reply "I need to search every of his scent so that I will not miss out any clue he left for me, and the last clue actually led me here .."

But for someone like Ging to be here? I seriously don't understand.

Then, after a brief moment I hear small footsteps, but after a few seconds, the sound of the footsteps getting louder, knowing that we're not actually safe if we just standing here. I quickly lower my Ren (since the risk of being found is very likely when using Ren) and call out to him that we need to go somewhere safe RIGHT NOW. Kite nod. And so, together, we run toward a nearby door that lead us toward a small restaurant.

After checking our current situation whether we're safe or not, I ask his name "What is your name?" he reply "My name's Kite and I'm a pro-hunter…" "Mine is Ven, you can just call me Ven .." We chat a little bit after that introduction, then we rest for awhile in the restaurant.

*** I never have thought, meeting him here will lead me to a future fill with despair,hope and somewhat unusual for me. ***
