Nothing can be more powerful than knowledge in the right hands.
An infant mysteriously washes ashore in the Republic of Padokea, where no one knows his name, where he came from, or why powerful Hunters would come to fear him.
Kaien, now raised in the land he fatefully came upon, has a relentless thirst for knowledge, strange gifts in perception, and a strange connection to the world around him — one that even he doesn't quite comprehend.
As his journey begins, Kaien will uncover the rules that govern Nen, the truths buried in obscurity, and the hidden strings that bind all things together. From a curious orphan to a master few dare to challenge, he will find his own path of discipline and insight, while he works to unravel fate itself.
Before the names Gon and Killua echoed through the world… Kaien was already learning how to read it.
This is the story of how knowledge became the ultimate power. And how one boy, thread by thread, stitched his name into history.
Hi everyone: This is my first story on WebNovel, and I'm having a lot of fun writing and planning all of this out. I've got a lot of ideas for the plot and the main character, and there will be a lot to discover. I don't plan on following the canon too closely, as the story starts many years before, but I'm not going to change things to the point where canon doesn't happen. I like a lot of the events in the main story, and when writing this, I had ideas in mind for those events with the main character involved. This project is something I wanted to do for fun, and my sole intention is for others to enjoy my writing. So please do! Thanks so much!
