Start X Spell X City of Prizes
Welcome to Greed lsland!
Jin's ring is...
Could you be Gon-sama? Yes, that's me.
l've been waiting for your arrival.
Allow me to playback a message that Jin-sama left.
Welcome Gon
This is a game l made with my colleagues. Well, just enjoy it.
lf you came here thinking that there'd be some clue that would lead to me,...
then too bad.
l just wanted to brag about this game we made.
Well, whatever the reason, you've gotten this far
and you can't go back without getting some items.
Have all the fun you can.
That's all.
That's all? Yes, that is all of the saved data.
Enjoy the game, huh...
l wonder if Jin really just wanted to brag about this game...
l will now brief you on the game.
Gon-sama, would you like to hear the briefing?
ln this game, there are spells anyone can use provided
they are wearing their ring. Spells?
They are Book and Gain.
Well then, please hold your hand with the ring out and say Book.
Book
you have to gather 100 specific cards to clear this game.
And this is the binder that holds them all in place.
ln other words, the objective of this game is to fill the binder.
Please open the binder to the first page
There aren't any cards in there, but there're numbers on each pocket.
ln each pocket, you can only place the card that matches its number.
These are called the designated pockets.
There are pockets without numbers after the designated pockets.
You can place a cared with any number. These're called free pockets.
The designated pockets run form No. 0 to 99, which's a total of 100 pockets
Plus, there are 45 free pockets.
Completing the designated pockets 00 through 99
will clear this game.
You gather all 100 of those cards, right? But how to get a hold?
You obtain items and transform them into cards.
For example, let's say that you obtain a sword.
The sword will transform into a card once a player touches it.
l see, so in order to get the cares, you have to find items first.
lf you wish to use an item, use the other spell, Gain.
When you do that, the card will return to its original state.
l see, but
once an item is reverted with Gain,
you can't transform it into a card again
lf you want to attain the same cared, you have to find the same item again
Do you understand everything so far? Yeah, somewhat...
Once a card is reverted with Gain, it can't be transformed into a card again.
There're two cases where you can't transform an item into a card
First, when the maximum number of cards available has been reached.
The maximum number of cards available? Yes
For every item on this island, there's limit to the number of cards available
Some have a limit higher than 100, while for others it may be as low as 3.
ln the case of cards with a maximum of 3
lf someone has made the associated items into cards before you do,
You'd not turn your item into a card, no matter how many you get the item
This happens when the number of cards has reached it's maximum.
And secondly, always keep you cards in the binder.
lf a minute passes without the card, it'll automatically revert back
And you can't turn it into a card again.
Finally, the most important thing...
This isn't good, l'm not going to be able to remember much more...
lf a player dies, the ring, the binder,
and all the cards in it are destroyed. So please be careful.
OK, l got it.
l don't think the cards will matter anymore if you die...
That's the end of the briefing. This's only a basic introduction to the game
You will learn more detailed information on your own as you play the game.
Alright. Book
The game starts now! Good luck!
l'm being watched... from somewhere...
But l don't see any sign of anyone else...
Yo! Sorry to keep you waiting.
We're being watched... Yeah, probably by more than one person.
Everyone's noticing it. lt's feels like there are eyes glued on you.
But if they're noticed from so far away, then they can't be that great.
Just ignore them.
Thanks for waiting! Killua!
We're being watched...
A prairie, eh... No sign of a city anywhere...
Yeah, but... everyone's headed in similar directions.
l wonder why...
You mean this way or that way, right?
How'd you know?
Because the sense of being watched is stronger from these directions.
Surprisingly, surveillance takes a lot of vitality and endurance.
So in almost all cases, whether alone or even in a group,
it's normal to do it near a city.
The question is why are they observing from these particular directions?
But if they're detected from so far away, they shouldn't be that great.
Just like what they said...
To move forward, we'll have to go one way or the other, right?
To pick which way we go, this way!
Rock, paper, scissors!
Alright, this way! Damn it!
So, what's the matter? What?
Book, l'm talking about your saved data.
So, how many cards do you start with?
About that, l only received a massage...
Seriously?! No hints whatsoever?
So, we have to start from scratch? Yeah, Jin told me to enjoy the game.
Book. l don't feel like we're in a game at all...
Hey, what do you think about the rules of this game?
There's still unknown. We don't know how to get a hold of items
We'll just have to gather information first. By finding a city, right?
lt's basic for playing the game.
How are the challengers this time? They're pretty decent.
Well then, l'll be returning to the game now.
Unless l get back into the game within 10 days, my data card will disappear.
What's wrong? l hear something from above...
This's the prairie near the start, is it your first time in this game?
He flew here! Hmm, l don't know about that...
What was that, was it a Nen ability?
lf you're holding a binder, then you must be a player too.
l guess so. lt's no use bluffing.
The fact that they don't have their binder out when l have mine out,
Makes it obvious that they're newbies in this game,
So you're Killua-kun and Gon-kun.
Hey, how'd you figure out our names? Hmm, l wonder how...
They're nothing if they don't even know about spell cards.
Let's you peek at the cards in a specific player's free pockets.
So there's none in his free pockets, eh?
This is confirms it. These guys are fresh out of their packets.
This should be enough for them.
Trace, a spell card that let's you know the location at all times.
Trace on! Attack Killua!
Kullua!
ldiot, you can't run away from a spell in this game!
Killua?! Are you ok?
From now on, l'll be able to tell where these guys are.
One of the most important keys to this game is information about other players
What have you done to me?!
This guy's dangerous! He's no ordinary kid!
Return on! To Mathadora!
lt flew off again...
So there are cards that let you use spells like that, huh?
He did say something like Spell, right?
Spell is probably something to do with magic spells.
Hey, Killua, do you feel any different?
l wonder what kind of spell of was.
Beats me... Well, l don't feel any changes right now.
We'll probably find out sooner or later.
How to get a hold of cards. We'll find something once we get there
Hey, it's a city!
Welcome to Andoquiba, the City of Prizes
So all of these have various prizes offered for them? There're so many
l guess we can get those items from these jobs...
Lost Dog. Finder will receive a Cursed Statue of the Goddess of Luck.
l can't even tell if these items are any good.
Hey Killua, look over there!
Andoquiba's Monthly Tournament schedule. There's mora Tournament for September
But it may not be September in the game. Oh yeah...
Excuse me, could you tell me today's date? lt's September 11th.
lt's the same Yeah
lt's held every month on the 15th. September's grand prize is Sword of Truth.
l wonder if that's a key item... Probably.
Look over there.
Hey it's the first person that passed...
And some over there too. Yeah...
Though it's still four days away, want to give it a shot?
Of course! lf it's Rock, Paper, Scissors, then everyone will have a chance.
Then let's try to get lots of prizes
while we wait!
Eating, gathering information, and getting prizes...
let's do all 3 in 1 shot!
lf you eat all in 30 minutes, it'll be free, and present with a Gargida card.
Well then, begin!
Hey Mister,
Roughly how many people attend those monthly competitions?
lf you have the time to talk, you're better off eating quicker.
Tell us! Well, it's different every month.
There are times when less than 10 people participate,
But in September there's a chance for everyone to win,
so more than 1000 people compete.
A 1 in 1000 chance, eh?
By the way, how do you use magic? Magic? What's that?
Am l going to have to ask around until l find a person that knows?
Then who's the most knowledgeable person in this city?
Knowledgeable? What's that?
As l thought...
Aya! You got it!
You two have eaten it all in 10 and 13 minutes respectively
l'll bring the prizes over.
That man's lacking vocabulary, isn't he?
lt's not that. We're in a game,
so that guy's just another character in the game.
Meaning, he can only answer certain questions.
For all other questions, he replies with What's that?
What?! Then what should we do?
We might have to go around the city and ask everyone.
What?! Are there games that difficult?!
l think all RPG's are like that...
l guess games are very difficult...
Thank you for your patience. Here are two Gargida cards.
1217? F-185?
l wonder what it all means...
Oh, so it's your first time seeing a card? Are you foreigners?
1217 is the card's number. F-185 is the difficulty level of obtaining it.
There are 10 levels and F is the third from the bottom.
The number next to it is its maximum card limit.
Let's see, that means this card is... Just a crappy item.
Damn! Judging from the name, l was certain that it'd be a weapon!
Well, thanks for the food! Hey, wait!
Your pasta was certainly free
but the iced sodas you ordered were not.
That'll be 1020 zennies. Oh, okay.
Here, give me change for 10,000 zennies. What's that?
On this island, you can only use this kind of money!
Seriously?! l demand 1020 zennies using a valid card!
Damn it! l didn't know money turned into cards too.
But l wonder how we can get money...
lf you take a card to the Trade Shop, they will exchange if for money.
Damn it! lf we had just exchanged the Gargida for money
then we wouldn't have had to wash those dishes
But if we didn't wash the dishes, he'd not have given us that information
lt's common for games to have you do a certain task
in order to trigger another event.
What happened?
How cruel! He's a foreigner.
He was one of those who entered the game with us today. He's fine just now
Hey, what happened? His body just exploded all of a sudden.
lt went Boom! from inside him.
lt's been a few hours since we entered the game. There's already a victim
This overwhelming corpse before me... This doesn't feel like a game at all.
A game where you really experience life-threatening danger on top of that
Jin made it!
He disappeared. He's returned to the real world.
Game over. ln other words, he's dead...
Hey Killua, could the spell cast on you earlier be...?
l don't know.
Rest assured.
Such a spell doesn't exist in this game. Spell?
Did this guy witness it all?
That was done with Nen, by some other player of course.
Does that mean that players are killing each other? Killing each other?
lt's called player hunting...
l bet you've heard that there are limits to each card in this games, right?
The rarer the card, the less chance you'll obtain it
as the number of players increase.
So you're saying that the fewer the players,
the more chance of getting a card, right?
Yes. And because of that,
extreme players have started appearing.
People who've just entered the game are more likely to be targets.
We are the opposite, we travel in numbers and never shed blood.
How about it? Care to join us?
There is a way that will definitely let you clear the game. Really?
Yeah.
Premonition
Groups games? l want to know the information of the game
Next Hunter
Canvass x List x Rock, Paper, Scissors!
lt's really insufferable
