[Hunter X Hunter] Perks of Becoming the Phantom Troupe's Second-in-Command

"What do you mean you're close with the Phantom Troupe and can pull some strings for me?"

"Haha, well, basically, that's right."

As a corporate drone, I only get my work done because my boss threatens me after treating me to food and favors.

At this point, someone has to ask: Yiyan, what about your grand revenge plan?

"You're asking too many questions."

Well, for some reason, revenge has turned out to be surprisingly easy, at least much easier than she'd ever expected.

So will someone please feel sorry for her and how she became the second-in-command? orz

That part seems to have been even more miserable.

Guys, you know that feeling when you blink and instead of seeing the ceiling, you see a whole bunch of spiders...

She only came here for revenge. She doesn't want to get dragged into this too!

An accident caused by someone else left Yiyan an orphan.

To avenge her maternal grandparents, she relied on her grandfather's keepsake and her Nen Ability to make her words come true.

She became a cheat-level existence in the Hunter Continent, at least in everyone else's eyes!

It's just that she doesn't seem to realize this ability is innate.

Yiyan, thinking: Is this the keepsake's bonus effect?

Her origins are shrouded in mysteries:

A missing keepsake, a strange ability...

And it seems that wherever she goes in this world, something gets in her way.

But how could that stop a girl who's determined to press forward? She has to grow strong enough to protect herself and others, after all!

But why is the road to revenge so difficult? Who exactly is standing in her way...

Is it the red-haired man who wants to fight her and keeps calling her "Little Yiyan~♠️"?

The thief boss who wants to steal her Nen Ability?

The baby-faced guy with his high-tech gadgets?

Or the short guy from the Troupe who says one thing and means another...

The spiders all have their own way of treating Yiyan.

When Yiyan thinks she's being harassed, the red-haired man calls it devotion.

When she thinks it's a cursed fate, the thief boss calls her his pawn (wife?).

When she's being watched, the baby-faced guy says with an innocent look that he's protecting her.

And when she's being insulted, the short guy thinks that's just his way of showing concern.

Getting dragged off to work, of all things? No thanks! Can the Troupe stop clinging to her?

After Yiyan arrives in Meteor City, she realizes that maybe everything has its reasons:

A corrupt church, a degenerate gang, a silent Troupe?

Her maternal grandparents' deaths might not have been so simple.

The thing her grandfather said to her most often was, "Watch your words and your actions."

Yiyan often wondered why. It's not like she was actually a jinx.

But after she gained her Nen Ability, the reasons behind everything gradually began to surface.

Her Nen Ability brought her into contact with so many people.

She'd thought the road to revenge was already rough enough,

but in the end, could this be the happiest ending, one that someone had interfered with?

Well, setting all that aside, who started the rumor that becoming the Troupe's second-in-command comes with perks?

Don't believe rumors or spread them.

And can the Troupe pick on someone else? She doesn't want the job at all!

She's still yet to experience any of the benefits of becoming second-in-command.

Also, she seems to have noticed that the spiders really like her... especially after everything is over.

It's an illusion, definitely an illusion. It's from eating Meteor City's poisonous mushrooms.

[Reader's Guide]

1. Third-person narration with multiple potential couples and romance routes.

2. After finishing the main story, I'll write three alternate timelines where the heroine makes different choices at certain points, and the male lead changes too.

3. The heroine isn't love-struck. She's fairly strong, a bit spacey, and always ready with a sarcastic remark. She's also very lively.

4. The story will include a little of my personal interpretation of the original plot. Apologies for any out-of-character moments.

5. I'm working to improve my writing and will revise the story from time to time. Please read without overthinking it. Feel free to point out any mistakes!

6. I won't abandon the story. I'll update a chapter every one to three days. Your comments are my greatest motivation!

Theme: Along the road to growing up, we always have to forget some things. So forget the pain.
