[Hunter X Hunter] Meteor City RPG: Starting from Negative

Prologue: Plot warnings before the story begins

[Starting location selected: Meteor City >> Loading resources... loading...]

[You now own a mountain of trash! Title acquired: King of the South District Trash Heap!]

[! Random event: You picked up Chrollo. Current affection: -20]

How could it be negative? You never imagined that this handsome, thick-browed kid would give you a bad review in his head!

==> After careful consideration, you took him to the best orphanage nearby.

[Placement successful. Received 1 case of purified water and 6 apples.]

[Received 1 Shard of "Praise for Lofty Morals"]

"Praise for Lofty Morals"?

From then on, you took up picking up kids as a hobby. Although the "Praise for Lofty Morals" collection was always one shard short, like a discount coupon promotion, that didn't stop you from being determined to complete the achievement.

Besides, you could check the children's status in the "Upbringing" tab every day. Tasks that gave you a sense of companionship and accomplishment, as well as experience points, made you very satisfied.

You were a bit of a beauty lover, but aside from Machi, Sarasa was your favorite.

Every so often, you would see dynamic notifications. They brought you the same pleasure as watching a pet-monitoring camera.

[Chrollo is quickly adapting to his studies at the orphanage!]

[Machi has learned Sewing!]

[Character Uvogin's anger has increased!]

[! Shalnark has been attacked!]

What's going on?

[Shalnark successfully escaped the attack range!]

[Shalnark's understanding of Uvogin has increased.]

[Uvogin's understanding of Shalnark has increased.]

[Shalnark obtained 1 Cleaning Squad videotape and 3 relatively intact electronic components!]

You could more or less guess why Shalnark had been beaten up. He deserved it.

[After organizing a stage play, Chrollo's leadership and acting skills have increased!]

[Character Sarasa has died.]

...Huh?

[Late 1981 · Meteor City - Church Save = ???]

[Doyle]: ...I hate you.

[Meteor City Resident] [Chrollo (8 years old)]: I'm sorry.

[1984 · Meteor City - Orphanage Save = 1983.11.11]

[You] [Doyle]: Happy birthday!

[Friendship] [Chrollo (11 years old)]: ...Thanks. Hey, can you repeat what you said before, Doyle?

[You] [Doyle]: What...? Oh! Of course!

[You] [Doyle]: I like Chrollo best! Hehe!

[Friendship] [Chrollo (11 years old)]: Thank you, Xiao Yi.

[Friendship] [Chrollo (11 years old)]: I... like Xiao Yi best, too.

[1999 · Yorknew City - Heavens Arena Saves = 1984.7.4 / 1992.6.23 / NULL]

[Neutral] [Chrollo]: Won't you come back to my side?

[Doyle]: I believe I already turned you down.

[Friendship] [Shalnark]: What a scary look...!

[Doyle]: Men who won't stop pestering people and talking their ears off aren't exactly popular, you know.

Reading Guide:

1. OOC warning.

2. Many original interpretations.

3. The main story switches to third person starting with Volume One. The prologue is in first person. The story in the blurb begins with Volume One. This is not a Fourth-Wall-Breaking Gamer story. As the full story is added later, the blurb may differ somewhat from the final plot.

4. The tentative pairing is Chrollo. The story will decide. Slow burn.

5. A small amount of Persona crossover, mostly P4. It won't affect your enjoyment.

Theme: Be prepared for the unexpected
