[Hunter X Hunter] My Nen Ability Is to Steal Lives

Next up: Hunter (the synopsis has been revised, but the premise is unchanged)

If life were a massive online game and you started with a disastrous setup, what would you choose?

[A: Don't even start. Just die.]

[B: I really want to live another five hundred years.]

You really want another five hundred years, so you choose B.

You were born without anyone's blessing and given a name full of malice and curses: Ancalis.

As it turns out, you really are cursed. At age seven, you were possessed by "malice," leaving you with only three months to live.

Faced with your imminent demise, what do you choose?

[A: Forget choosing. Just die.]

[B: I really want to live another five hundred years.]

You really want another five hundred years, so you choose B again.

The good news: Your overwhelming desire to live awakens your Nen Ability.

The bad news: Your Nen Ability... well, it's a little underhanded.

Your Nen Ability is "Steal a Life." If you live as someone else for a while, you can extend your life in this online game for that same amount of time.

But there's a condition: While living as someone else, you have to play their role well and avoid being exposed as a "substitute." Otherwise, you'll be punished.

You were an actor in your previous life, so you think this should be no problem.

So, to stay alive, you diligently begin "role-playing."

On your Nth role, you're an ordinary, thirty-three-year-old office worker. Your job is to be a model employee by day, a model husband after work, and attend prayers at the church the office worker believes in on weekends.

Maybe it's because you aren't religious and don't pray sincerely enough. Or maybe impersonating someone else's life account is just too underhanded. Either way, after you help someone pick up a book during prayer one day, you have the misfortune of attracting a man's attention.

The owner of the book has short black hair, an elegant, refined appearance, and a sincere smile that puts you at ease.

He says he'd like to treat you to afternoon tea to thank you for picking up his book.

As an accomplished actor, you can see a certain "desire" for you in his eyes, no matter how gentle he seems.

A young, handsome man with designs on an ordinary thirty-three-year-old office worker can only be a robber, a con artist, or a gay man.

To protect this role's wallet or behind, you instinctively steal the man's "life account" and take over his identity as the head of the Spider.

With that theft, your peaceful life is over.

Then one day, a group of lunatics whose "lives" you stole discover you exist and suddenly come knocking at your door...

They want to...

Kill you.

Faced with another imminent demise, you choose...

[A: Haha, I'm done living.]

[B: I really want to live another five hundred years.]

Your choice is...
