The night air is as refreshing as a cool stream. In a room spanning less than 30 square meters, the furnishings are modest. A wooden bed, cabinet, table, chairs, a chandelier, and a bathroom constitute Machi's humble abode.
Reclining on the wooden bed, Ryuuji Takeda tosses and turns while Machi, nestled in the hammock, has already drifted into a peaceful slumber.
Upon entering the room, Ryuuji notices the presence of the hammock, its pristine condition contrasting with the layer of dust on the wooden bed, indicating that Machi seldom uses it.
"The Hunter's World..." Ryuuji muses aloud, twirling the cold jewel between his fingers, a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through him.
At just ten years old, Machi's appearance aligns perfectly with Ryuuji's recollection of purple hair and golden eyes. Coupled with the term "Meteor Street," Ryuuji deduces his current circumstances.
Though Machi's mental acumen surpasses her age, she lacks the qualifications to be a teacher. Nonetheless, aided by books, Ryuuji swiftly learns many nouns, including their names and the location "Meteor Street."
With the basic means of communication established, Ryuuji sketches grandiose promises of wealth to Machi, eventually persuading her to return the jewel.
Unperturbed by skepticism, Machi's decisions are largely instinctual. Trusting her gut, she believes bringing Ryuuji home will yield positive outcomes. Moreover, his ability to breathe in the garbage dump without protective gear piques her interest.
Reflecting on his current predicament, Ryuuji feels far from the excitement he once associated with entering the world of hunters. The mysterious aura he encountered at the bottom of the lake and his inexplicable arrival in this realm weigh heavily on his mind.
While on Earth, time always seemed insufficient, leaving little opportunity for indulgence in anime or manga. However, his interests were piqued by two particular anime: "Gourmet Hunter" and "Full-Time Hunter."
As a food enthusiast, Ryuuji resonated with "Gourmet Hunter," while his adventurous spirit drew him to "Full-Time Hunter." Recalling the plethora of exotic ingredients and unexplored territories depicted in the series, Ryuuji's anticipation overrides his trepidation.
Amidst his contemplations, Ryuuji's attention shifts to the latent potential within him. Acknowledging the inherent dangers of this world, he resolves to master his abilities swiftly, viewing them as tools for exploration rather than dominance.
As night descends, Ryuuji's thoughts turn inward, contemplating the mysteries of his newfound abilities. In a sudden timing, cryptic fonts materialize in his consciousness, displaying his latent powers.

Interpreting the enigmatic messages as a sign of progress, Ryuuji resolves to hone his abilities diligently. Determined to ascend from ordinary to extraordinary, he embraces the challenges that lie ahead, fueled by an unwavering resolve to unlock his full potential.
With renewed determination, Ryuuji clasps the jewel tightly, its warmth signaling the dawn of a new chapter in his extraordinary journey.
