Hello, everyone! This fanfiction, 'Journey of a God' is my first-ever story on this site. I published it on July, 2016, but that was a draft. I wrote about 6 chapters, but I found them somewhat dissatisfying, so I rewrote them entirely. I didn't get that much views and followers on my first try, but I hope with this rewrite that some of you appreciate it. The reason I wrote this story in the first place is that this kind of fanfiction is really rare in HxH. All I see when I visit this site is some Yaoi or Genderbending and I really hate those (this is only my personal opinion, sorry if I offended anybody), so I said, why not do it myself? And this is the result. If somebody out there knows about some HxH fanfictions like this one (Overpowered OC sent to HxH universe), please send me a PM about it. I really want to read a story like this one, crossovers are okay, too.
Anyway, moving on, I hope that this story pleases you and please follow and review if you liked it.

In the roof of a high school in Japan, a single teenager was leaning against the wall reading what looked like a book. This young man here was very average. He has long black hair that reached his shoulders and dark eyes that neared the color of black. He had an average face that was neither handsome nor ugly with a straight nose, small lips and a sharp jawline.
He was about 170cm tall and his body didn't look muscular under that uniform of his. The uniform that he was wearing was composed of a brown pant with white lines at its sides and a short-sleeved brown shirt with his school's insignia inscribed on his chest. The shining sun in the sky made him sweat under its intense heat of the summer.
Looking at the book he held in his hands closely, it could identified as a manga, not a normal on, but one of this student's favorite manga; Hunter x Hunter.
This young man's name is Kohinata Ryouske, but that wasn't that much important because soon enough, this name was going to change with his whole life because of circumstances he won't find out until much later in his life.
Ryouske was known by all of the students in his school, not because of his academics results or his cheerfulness and surely not for his good looks, he was popular because of the fact that he was an Otaku, a real Otaku.
He spent all of his time reading manga and what made him most excited is Hunter x Hunter, his precious manga. He was always a fan of this series and he followed almost every news about it on the internet. Every time there was an event or a show about it, he would never miss it even at the expense of ditching school and other important things. He was a di-hard fan of this story and he was recognized by the author himself as the most loyal fan of his series, needless to say that it was the utmost honor of Ryouske to receive that title.
What mostly captivated him about this manga is the range of abilities and powers that the characters can use. He was always fascinated with Nen and its potential. It was really endless, the only thing limiting the characters was their Nen category and even in every single one of them there are numberless powers that a person could have. Take for example Conjuration, you could choose from an ability that could create copies of things to something that can make soldiers for you and even make some separate dimension to fight in with you holding the advantage. Ryouske always imagined himself having a powerful Nen ability and roaming the world with Gon and Killua, helping them while having the fun of his life by messing around with the plot and making things even more interesting than they were in the manga.
'What a boring world, why isn't there anything interesting here? Everything is the same every single day; the same routine, the same monotone and the same things are repeated every day. Ah, it would be great if I were able to live in Hunter x Hunter world, every day would be a new adventure in and of itself, always meeting different people, fighting diverse Hunters and having the fun of my life; how satisfying would that be! Having a powerful Nen ability would only be a bonus to that.' these were the thoughts of the young man who at that time wished for nothing more than leaving his boring world, he had no idea how soon that wish was going to be granted.
The most unique thing about Ryouske was his way of thinking and behavior. He always considered himself a free man who did what he wanted. If he had the strength, he would kill anybody who offended him in the slightest, he would steal anything that took his attention and he would get anything he desired; he was that type of man. The only rule that he lived by in his life was his motto that he never betrayed; an eye for an eye. When somebody punched him, he'd punch him back, if somebody insulted him, he'd insult him back, heck if somebody killed him, he'll make sure to kill him even if it he had to come back to life because of it.
You may think that he is mentally sick or something like that, but he is a person true to his desires, however the most terrifying thing is that he's good at hiding them. Except for two people, never in his 17 years of life had anyone discovered his dark thoughts and desires. He always had a calm exterior and never let his desires influence him in front of people, when he was alone however, all hell would break loose.
"I can grant that wish of yours, kid" a booming voice suddenly sounded out that startled Ryouske from his reading. He looked around trying to find who spoke, but when he found no one on the roof beside him, so he shouted.
"Who is it? Where are you?" he started panicking as he still couldn't spot anybody in his vicinity.
"Don't worry, kid. I'm talking to you through telepathy, there's no need to panic, calm yourself down." gently said the voice trying to make Ryouske calm down. It worked as the teenager took deep breaths and tried to calm his erratic breathing and heartbeat.
"So, what did you mean by granting my wish? Who the hell are you in the first place?" After calming down, Ryouske contemplated what the voice said and asked him.
"Well, you don't need to know who I am. You only have to know that I can grant your wish to go to the world of the manga you cherish so much. I can also give you power incomparable to any other there." replied the voice and the excitement and anticipation in Ryouske's eyes were evident to anybody who's able to see him.
He didn't even suspect this being a plot to deceive him or even a simple prank, that was the level of the desire he had in his heart. Ryouske always wanted to escape from his hellish life. What made him like this was his terrible childhood and horrible upbringing. Ryouske was born in a very poor family and his father was a heavy drunkard. He always drank to escape from all the stress of his life and to further 'relieve' himself, he always hit him and his mother. After enduring this hellish lifestyle for years, his mother soon gave out and left without saying or leaving anything for him.
From that day onward, Ryouske had to deal with his father's outbursts and had to take on his full rampages that only got worse when he found out that his wife and 'stress reliever' abandoned him, but Ryouske didn't give up and continued persevering even in that terrible situation whereas a normal person would have already ran or even killed himself. At least, that gave him his resolute mentality that would even put hardened warriors and experienced monks to shame. However, one day everything changed for him and he couldn't take it any longer, so he did the unthinkable.
It happened when his father beating Ryouske's 13 year-old body, this time he kept doing it for longer than he had before and Ryouske knew that if he continued, it could get dangerous for him and his life, so he followed his survival instincts and fortunately managed to grasp a knife in his hand then he started stabbing his father over and over until he stopped screaming and his whole body stilled. The resulting scene was horrifying with crimson flowing blood covering the small apartment and he bathed in his father's blood. When a neighbor heard the screams and rushed to their apartment to check if something happened, he was shocked beyond belief by the horrifying scene and they say he had to visit a psychologist to get rid of the trauma.
From that day onwards, Ryouske swore to never let himself get pushed around and he developed his motto after that incident. However, after that traumatizing experience, he kept having nightmares and visions of killing his father and it almost made him go crazy. After all, you couldn't just shrug off something like that, especially at Ryouske's age at the time.
That was the main reason he started reading manga and light novels; to forget about those flashbacks and to indulge himself in a factionary world where he didn't have to worry about harm happening to him or anything dangerous that could threaten him while having the thrill of watching fights and adventures.
"Tell me exactly why are you doing this? If you really have the power you claim you have and the abilities you mentioned then you should know about my personality, I could use your powers to do evil things, no I'm certain that I would use your powers to satisfy myself and do things that are considered evil by others." After assessing the situation and thinking through it slowly, Ryouske expressed the things that confused him. He didn't consider the things that he did evil because satisfying himself always has priority in his mind and how could he let himself be limited to 'evil' and 'good' while doing that, it's clearly irrational.
"Well, to put it simply, I don't care. Whether you kill people, massacre clans, destroy cities or even countries, I couldn't care less about that, I'm only trying to have some fun in here, it's for my personal entertainment. After some observation and contemplation, I decided that you were the best candidate for what I'm doing as the desire you hold is unmeasurable and your resolution is one of the hardest I have ever seen." replied the voice and Ryouske could clearly feel the excitement and anticipation of the fun that he would provide it with, at least that's what he thought.
"Okay, I don't have any place I belong to here, anyway. Those people at the orphanage only fear me and don't want to get close to me; it's expected really, especially when you do something like what I did. Anyway, what powers are you going to give me? It's Nen, right? I hope it's powerful" Said Ryouske and you could feel some deep loneliness and melancholy from his words, however that quickly changed to great anticipation when he asked about the powers.
"Well, I'm going to give you three things that will immensely help you later on. You'll have complete mastery over the six Nen types, this will be engraved on your memory and you will only need to fight or train a little bit to get your body used to it and you will be good to go. Other than that, I'm going to give you a Specialization Hatsu that makes you able to copy any Nen ability you want, of course you'll have to clear some conditions; but compared to other abilities, it's very overpowered. Lastly, you will receive a body that is trained beyond belief. All of its physical capabilities will be off the charts, I'll let you experience what it feels like when you get it, just be careful with your strength because it will be hard to control in the beginning" Responded the voice.
Hearing that, Ryouske became shell-shocked, if he truly received those kinds of abilities, he will easily become the strongest person there, imagine all the things he could do with a body like that, the most optimum example would be Meruem; he was able to overpower Netero with only his physical strength and without any Hatsu. On top of that, he could copy the Nen abilities of all Hunters, imagine all the possibilities he could have of merging or using two abilities together; even thinking about it gave Ryouske some shivers. However, when the adrenaline rush vanished and the excitement faded, he couldn't help but question the real intentions behind this voice and wonder exactly why he's doing this.
"I want to ask you something" Just as Ryouske was about to express his suspicions and questions, he was interrupted by the voice who mysteriously said.
"Ah, you're wondering about the reason? I already said that it's for my fun and entertainment. I've already done this with other people and I get really amused by what they do, some dominate the world, some destroy humanity, some just live merrily with peace of mind, relieved because of their overwhelming power; I just want to see what would you do with that kind of power."
Ryouske clearly suspected the voice and his obvious lies, but at the moment, he couldn't exactly prove anything, so he made sure to remember to investigate it when he gets to the Hunter x Hunter world and at least clear some of the suspicions he has in his mind. He just hoped that it wasn't something that could endanger his life because if that were the case, he would kill the owner of that voice even if it took him his entire existence.
"Moving on, the body that I will give you will be about 16 years old and it won't grow past that age. You could be considered an immortal, but you could still be killed and injured like any normal person. Only your growth will stop and you will be at the peak of your physical potential, in other words you'll have eternal youth. Also, your body will be immune to poisons and diseases, just to let you know" Informed the voice and Ryouske couldn't be any happier at the moment, an immortal highly powerful body, a grotesquely overpowered Nen ability and mastery of Nen, who wouldn't be overjoyed having those cheats! Some might think that having an immortal body is bad and Ryouske will outlive his companions and he will fall in his despair, but that problem is easily resolved by being vulnerable to injuries. If he wanted, he could just lop his head off and all his problems will be fixed, though he doesn't plan on doing that anytime soon.
After some questions and answers from both of them, Ryouske got the gist of what will happen to him after he was sent there. Basically, he will be teleported to the Hunter x Hunter universe 10 years before the start of the timeline of the story; he really liked that as he wanted to have some adventures in unknown place and establish some relationships before he met the main characters. After he got there, he will have to train with his body to get accustomed to his powers and then he was free to do whatever he wanted and Ryouske already decided to visit some places where he could have some fun adventuring or fighting some powerful opponents.
"So, where exactly am I going to be teleported to? I'd really appreciate a place where I could train without having too much danger; a place like Greed Island would be the best. Even though it will be impossible for me to go there without the necessary equipment, the HxH universe is vast and I'm sure that there are some environments that resemble that place" Said Ryouske remembering this important point. He really wanted some place quiet to train alone at first and then, he will adventure and gain battle experience.
"Don't worry about that, I already have a perfect place I plan to send you to. It's filled with all types of monsters and magical beasts, some of them will be able to use Nen, so you will have some challenge and gain some battle experience before you fight with sentient humans that can plan and use precise techniques. I'm sure you know of that place, after all it's quite famous in the HxH universe." The voice said and Ryouske was a little bit nervous and had a bad ominous feeling about this place
"Don't tell me it's…" Ryouske finally realized where it was and he was frightened to say the least. He had every right to. After all, that place was famous for its brutal environment and high death rate.
"You're on the spot! It's the Dark Continent" The voice replied cheerfully, too cheerfully for Ryouske's liking.
The Dark Continent was a part of the Hunter x Hunter world that was yet to be explored. It's said to be a cursed land where monsters and mysterious beings roamed free at large. The weak had no place there and only the strong would survive that infernal environment and its hellish conditions. Freaks like the Royal Guards of the Chimera Ants and even Meruem himself that were considered top-threat beasts and took the elite of the Hunter Association to exterminate were only considered as ones of the weak monsters that could only live in the outskirts of that place.
"Wait a fucking second! You're insane! You want me to go to the Dark Continent!? Are you shitting me!? Do you want to get me killed? I still want to keep my life intact and I have no intention of forfeiting it in a stupid way like this." Ryouske yelled with a voice filled with dread and his whole body trembling. Shivers ran through his spine at the mere thought of what would happen if he ever went there. True, if he could master all his abilities and copy numerous Nen and master them, then he would somewhat stand a chance there, but if he went there off the bat without any preparation or training, he wouldn't be able to survive even a day there!
"Hahaha, don't worry about it, it's not that bad or even dangerous. With your body and mastery over Nen, you'll be able to easily survive out there. Plus, I won't send you very deep into that cursed place, just on the edge. The monsters there aren't all that powerful and you will be able to easily defeat them or at least defend yourself. The strongest ones there are only at Meruem's level at most, so there isn't anything to really panic about" The being replied with amusement palpable in its voice.
"That's not relieving at all! On the contrary, that's bad, like really, really bad. Meruem himself almost extinguished humanity and brought it to extinction if not for Netero and you want me to live in a place where monsters that have a power nearing or equal to his roam free without any protection? Screw you! If that were the case, then just kill me now and be done with it!" Replied Ryouske and it was easy to tell that he was angry and furious with the audacity of this guy who just told him to die. After all, who in their mind would go and challenge a monster like Meruem; only lunatics would do that.
"*Sigh*, you don't get it at all, don't you? There's no need to be that panicked, I wanted you to discover this on your own, but you leave me no choice if you're rejecting the idea like this. The body that I'm providing you with is on par with Meruem's, if not greater than that and you know what he could do with it. He took Netero's strongest attack and survived with barely any injuries. On top of that, you have your Nen and your ability to copy powers. If you plan right and make use of the gifts that I gave you to the fullest way possible, then killing Meruem won't be that hard of a thing, you just have to get used to handling your body and putting you in a place where you're neither in life-threatening danger nor extreme peace will make you able to make full use of your body. Trust me, I'm right on this. If I wanted to kill you, like you said, I don't have to go through the effort that I'm doing." Said the voice in a tone filled with confidence.
Ryouske could only sigh at this. He had no choice but to trust this voice. It was granting him the wish of his life and Ryouske really wanted it fulfilled. At least like that, he'll die where he belongs, in a place filled with adventure and danger that would make the adrenaline in his body rush in quantities unheard of before. Unconsciously, Ryouske believed this voice and his tone made him even surer of this trustworthiness that he gave it, so he didn't dwell on this subject too much and prolong this argument any further and agreed on it.
Ryouske would've never guessed that in that moment, he was ushered and convinced by the voice about going to the Dark Continent by some form of Mind Control that he won't know about until much later in his life.
"Be prepared, you will feel a bit dizzy, then you will lose consciousness. When you wake up, you will find yourself beside a lake with drinkable water; it's quite big and has a lot of edible aquatic animals that you can fish. You will also find some easy game to hunt in your vicinity; they're small animals that can't use Nen and have none fighting capabilities, they're like the rabbits or small animals of your world. As for the other survival skills like scavenging and building your home, you will have to learn them on your own." The voice said and Ryouske didn't have the time to think of anything as a sharp headache assaulted him and he began to feel dizzy in the head. Not long after, he blacked out and lost consciousness.
