When I flashed out of the island, I fell to the mountain of garbage. I looked around and realized this was a city, a city filled with thrash.
"This must be the Meteor City." Crow's voice came to my ears.
'What is special about this city? Except for the junks I mean.' I asked. There was garbage everywhere, and people were salvaging them.
"Meteor City is a junkyard city filled by outcasts people. People who live in this city do not exist in any official records, and the existence of the city itself is known to very few people. There aren't too much to tell about this city, because the city mostly shrouded by mystery.
It is rumored to be at least five hundred years old from the timeline we are in and was believed to have been founded by a dictator who wanted to separate the human race. Since then, it has been a dumping ground for other countries. The city is said to have the most diverse ethnic background and its population estimated at eight to ten million people.
One of the cruelest criminal organization in all Anime Worlds, Phantom Troupe, have members mostly from this city and they established it in this city." Crow summarized his Wikia information.
'Who are the Phantom Troupe? How can they be one of the cruelest in all Anime Worlds?' It is a big title to say, considering there are countless Anime Worlds. Akatsuki, for example, started a world war just because of more power.
"The members of the Troupe are comrades and can shed tears for each other. They established the group to help the people of this city because this city was outcast by the rest of the World. But when it comes to the any of the people on World, Troupe becomes cruelest beings. They killed a Clan just because of their eyes worth millions on the black market. They massacred all of the people. In original series, the sole survivor Kurapika would become Hunter to avenge his Clan.
He killed one of them, and cause one of them to die. Even sealed all of the powers the Leader of the Troupe." Crow said.
'A brave soul. I would like to help him.' I like to support people want to take their avenge with their own hands. 'Which timeline are we in?'
"I have no idea. We have to see." Crow said.
As I was about to walk to the city to ask around, two men walked to me. One had a samurai like an appearance, while the other was a big man, looking like a werewolf.
"Sh*t! They are from Phantom Troupe. Do not anger them!" Crow said anxiously.
"Hey, Hey. What do we get here? Where did you come from?" the big guy asked, while samurai man touched his sword waiting for my answer. I thought about what to say next. I had my means to survive against both of them, but I wasn't sure, because the power system was strange to me. Also, how did they recognized me as an outsider, with just a look?
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"Your clothes and face don't fit here," said Crow. He got a point.
Crow told me the main Power System in this World was called Nen. Nen had an unlimited way of utilization. One could create a living being with Nen or one can make them stronger with it. There were even more of it. I asked if the game card was a type of Nen, giving it teleported me out of the Island. Crow told me it was a type of Nen but not belong to the man used the card.
I was still bewildered by the teleportation. It was a random location with unlimited use. Power types in this world were too wide.
"I have been dumped to this place. I don't have any memory, except the people in green lab coats." I feigned a man, who has been experimented on him and lost all his memories. They looked at me suspiciously, and samurai said "Uvogin, let's take him to the Leader. He has some strength."
"Okay, but I am going to hold on to him." said a loud guy named Uvogin and held me from my arm. He had monstrous strength, I could feel his fingers could crush me easily.
We walked for 10 minutes and arrived a shabby and wrecked building. There were there people sitting. One of them was sitting on the second floor, but because the ceiling was broken, I could see her. She had long purplish-black hair with bangs ends at her eyebrows. She had a cross-shaped tattoo on her forehead and a pair of orb-shaped earrings. She was a beautiful gal.
The other one was a short man, he had black, mid-length hair, grey eyes, and a pale complexion. He was wearing dark and baggy long-sleeved clothes, and a bandana sporting the trademark skull crest over his mouth. Looking dangerous.
The last one was a blonde woman with blue eyes. She had a pink dress, and she was laughing ever since we walked in. She stood up and welcomed us. "Nobunaga, who is this fella?" she asked with looking at me smiling.
"We found him in the city. He has some strange energy, but not look like Nen. He says he has no memory and he dumped to the city. From what he told, I guess he was exterminated by one of those companies." Nobunaga the samurai said.
"Leader, Can I kill him?" Uvogin said to the woman on the second floor.
"Not yet. We have to wait for Pakunoda to check his story. If he is dumped into this city, he is one of us." she spoke very smoothly as she owned my life. Like she was the god of death, and one word from her mouth could take away my life.
'Who is that Pakunoda, she is talking about?' I asked Crow.
"She is one of the Troupe, and she has the ability to read people minds when she has physical contact," said Crow.
'Hey! Doesn't it mean I am dead?' If someone among them reads my mind, then it means I will be killed instantly.
"No need to worry about these kinds of simple things. You have a system inside your head, whoever tries to read your mind will see nothing but the things I want them to see. Also because she will use Nen power on you, you will adapt it faster. It is a good opportunity." said Crow with a proud voice.
'So that is how it is.' Let's do that.
"Nobunaga test his powers. We are short a member, we will recruit him if he is strong enough," said Leader with an undeniable voice.
"Let me test it, Leader. My hands were itching," said Uvogin walking slowly.
"Don't make me repeat myself." said the Leader with terrifying aura, Uvogin laughed and sit back.
Nobunaga looked at me and smiled. Took the sword to his side and waited in Iai position (Quick Draw), charged on me. I pulled out the Very Good Sword unsheathed with instinctively and send back flying to the wall behind me.
"Nice reaction. You are not half bad, but where did that sword come from? Did you conjure it or did you pull it out from a space? No, Conjured Sword would crash under my sword. This must be Space related Nen." (I will explain this terms in a few chapters.)
