Chapter 2: Getting a reward for befriending the Protagonist


    “Is that Gon?”


    An couldn’t believe his luck. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly, but the boy was still there. He just met Gon.


    “I’m on Whale Ind, then?” An whispered to himself.


    In the Original plot, Gon’s Home ind was called Whale Ind. The residents of this ind lived on fishing, and aside from Gon, most people living in his home town were older people.


    [Ding! The host has encountered the Protagonist of the plot; please make a Choice!]


    [1: Go forward and Talk to Gon and be his friend: Reward: Lucky Treasure chest x1]


    [2: Ignore Gonpletely and leave Whale Ind: Reward: Ten Million Jenny!]


    [Ding! Please make your choice in the next 60 seconds!]


    An: “So I have to choose again!!”


    He must choose one of the two options, or else he won’t be getting a reward.


    An hesitated a little before choosing the first option even though the second would help him more. He didn’t have money, and a sum of ten million isn’t small for someone like him.


    However, looking at the long run, the first option should be better and that without mentioning the Reward, just befriending Gon would help him greatly in the future.


    ‘you can’t be enticed by the immediate wealth. You should look far ahead and make the best out of every situation.’ An thought to himself, trying to divert his attention from the money.


    Moreover, the Reward for the first choice depended on his luck, which he concluded from the name.


    Everyone has that adventurous side, being pulled toward the unknown and taking gambles that depended on luck, and An was the same.


    Compared to ten million jenny, a treasure chest that could contain many wonders made him excited. He may even be able to get the ‘One piece’ out of this box.


    An smiled widely as he walked toward Gon.


    Just as he raised his hand and was about to greet Gon, a bear rushed toward him.


    Seeing this, An instantly paled and took off running away as if his life depended on it, which is was the case right now.


    ‘What kind of joke is this? Am I going to die to a bear just after crossing to this world? Aaaaah’


    “Stop! Don’t hurt him!”


    The Bear directly stopped attacking as soon as he heard this voice.


    An heard this as well and continued running until he felt safe before he looked back while panting.


    He saw Gon who jumped down from the tree stopping the Bear, and in doing so, saved his life.


    Gon was patting the Bear and calming it down. The aura around Gon was calming. He radiated innocence and kindness that would make any wild animal feel safe around him.


    After sending the Bear away, Gon directly looked at the dazed An in concern and said: “Are you okay? Sorry, that Bear is the guardian here. Seeing a stranger intrude on his turf, he attacked, but I already told him not to attack you again, so you are safe.”


    An breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, gesturing that everything is alright.


    As someone who crossed from another world, he should have more courage.


    But if Gon didn’t interfere, he would be dead.


    “By the way, I didn’t see you here before, are you a tourist?”


    Gon asked An curiously.


    After asking, Gon seemed to realize something and touched the back of his head with an innocent smile: “Ah, sorry, because it’s been a long time since I saw someone my age, I was a little excited.”


    An nodded, expressing his understanding.


    Whale ind didn’t have many teenagers, as most of them would go to big cities looking for either work or adventure, so most people that remained here are old.


    Gon is almost the only teen on this ind, which exins his current happiness.


    “Just call me An, as you can see, this is my first time here, and yeah, I can be considered a tourist.”


    ‘as I just crossed to this world’ An thought to himself while faintly smiling at Gon.


    “Oh, where are you from?”


    “I’m…”


    An was speechless. He didn’t prepare for such a question yet and didn’t expect Gon to ask like a curious child.


    “Mm… Well, from a very distant ce.”


    An could only be as vague as possible. He didn’t want to say ‘Hey, I juste from another world where this world is just a show on TV that I liked.’ An started thinking about a background story.


    “A faraway ce…” Gon nodded thoughtfully before started firing question: “Then why are you here? Did youe here by boat alone? Why are you alone? Why did you choose Whale Ind for your tour?”


    An sweatdropped. He helplessly replied: “I will tell you these things in the future. Well, you kept asking me, but I don’t even know your name.” ‘Although I already know it.’


    The most significant trouble while talking to a Character from the Original show is to pretend not to know them. Otherwise, it would be too suspicious if An just went ahead and said: “Hey, you’re Gon.”


    “Ahh, I still didn’t introduce myself yet!” Gon rubbed the back of his head and grinned: “My Name is Gon Freecss, just call me Gon.”


    An nodded and stretched out a hand as a sign of friendship: “It’s nice to meet you, Gon.”


    Gon grasped An’s hand and said with an innocent smile: “Me too, I’m d to meet you, An.”


    Suddenly, An heard the System’s notification in his head.


    [Ding! You have sessfully befriended Gon. You obtained a Lucky Treasure chest x1!]


    An didn’t expect Gon to consider him a friend as soon as they met. He was too na?ve.


    However, his innocence made the cold-blooded Killua, who was born in a family full of assassins, became his friend.


    An sighed before thinking about his Reward. He suddenly was stunned to find himself in a white space with a golden treasure chest in front of him.
