Things around the mansion have been so boring lately. I got so mad earlier that I almost stabbed Mother and Milluki earlier. I think I need to get out of the house. Everyone else, except for Alluka, can leave whenever they want but I only get to leave when I'm contracted to kill someone. It's so boring staying in here all day. Maybe I should bother Milluki for entertainment. I could threaten to break some of his figures, that would get a rise out of him. No... I've already done that recently.

Maybe I really should stab him? No. That's a bad idea. Dad and Grandfather might get mad at me. I know what I should do. I'm going to ask Alluka to use her power to bring me to the nearest source of entertainment. Yes, that's a great idea. Now I just need to find Alluka. She should be around here somewhere, I just need to look.

"Alluka! Where are you! I need to ask you for a favor!" That should bring her running to me. Now, I wait.

After a few moments, I hear footsteps running towards me. Alluka. She's gotten faster since the last time I saw her run towards me.

"Killunii-sama! I'm here! What did you need? Do you want to play? let's play! Let's play a game. I wanna play hide and seek! Come on, let's play! Please?" She talks faster too... It's only been a few days since I've seen her yet she's already so restless. I really need to find her a hobby... Whatever that can wait for later. I need to focus, just ask her to grant my wish.

"Alluka, I want you to take me to the nearest source of entertainment. Use your powers to take me to it. After that, I will play hide and seek with you, ok?"

"You promise to play with me after? Pinky promise?" She extended her pinky, and I did the same.

She is honestly so cute sometimes, so playful, so fun. I still think I should find her something to do when I'm away though. It's not healthy, the way everyone else treats her. Like she's just some object. Like she's the property of the family. I can't stand the fact that they lock her in her room when I'm gone. One day I will take her away from here, away from the rest of our family. She deserves better; She deserves happiness. I can't always be there to protect her. I just hope that I'm always there when it matters.

"I promise, Alluka. Once I'm back, I will play with you all day long. We will do anything you want." We finished the pinky promise, and she activated her power. I suddenly found myself surrounded in darkness. So this is what it's like, traveling with her power. I've never done it before but it's cool. After a few moments the darkness fades and I found myself in the forest just outside the Testing Gate. Weird... this must be a bust. There's nothing entertaining about this forest at all, just trees.

I look around and suddenly I saw a person in the distance. They appear to be meditating, weird. Why would someone meditate? It doesn't do anything. I don't think it does anything, anyway. I could be wrong though because it looks like his presence is fading and blending with nature. I didn't know that meditating did something like that.

I started to walk towards the person. It looks like a boy a few years older than me. I'm currently eleven, my birthday is July 7th, and I would say that this person looks to be around 15, maybe 16. He has Black hair, the opposite of my white-silver hair, and a dark, copper-like skin tone. Once again, the opposite of my pale white skin. He's wearing a combination of black, white, and gray. A somewhat sharp contrast from my white and blue color scheme.

Interesting. That is the only word that can describe the teen in front of me. His looks are interesting, a far cry from what I'm used to seeing. Especially his physical appearance. Right now, I'm really glad that I asked Alluka to send me here. This is truly entertaining.

I wonder what he is doing out here in the forest outside the Testing Gate. It's not like there is anything to do out here, nor is there anything special about the area. Maybe he's a tourist? Or maybe he's one of those nature lovers that Milluki has told me about. Someone that lives outside and becomes one with nature, abandoning technology and civilization in order to reach inner peace or something.

I'm not entirely sure what they are, all I know is that Milluki thinks Nature Lovers are stupid for abandoning computers and technology. I think that's just because he's such a computer geek though. Milluki has been a shut-in since he turned ten after all. I think he needs to get out of the house and stop being such a fat-a.s.s. He's honestly such a disappointment.

Anyway, I wonder what this teenager is doing outside the property, in the forest. I think I'm going to ask. It's not like he could hurt me, anyway; I'm a trained a.s.sa.s.sin and master killer. There's nothing that he could do to stop me if I wanted him dead, so there's nothing for me to worry about.

"Hey! What are you doing out here? Why are you out in the forest outside my property?"

(Drake's P.O.V.)

It's been a month since I started meditating, and I can say that it definitely helps with thinking. I've started to come further and further into the forest each time I meditate. I'm starting to comprehend nature, like in those cultivation novels I've read online. I can feel myself becoming one with nature. I wonder if I'm on the path of the Dao of Nature now? It would certainly be more interesting, that's for sure.

I've spent the past several months in the system training and meditating nonstop. I try to only stop for food, water, and to use the bathroom, other than that I only train or meditate. Though I suppose that meditation is a form of training for some people. As of now, I am entering a deep meditative state. I must remain undisturbed until I am done to receive maximum benefits.

I spent the next few hours sitting on a large rock in the forest, right next to a river stream.

I'm finally finished meditating, though I plan on staying here for another few minutes before I return to the cabin to meet with Zebro. He upgraded my weights, and my vest now carries seventy kilograms.

As I sat on the rock, I felt a disturbance in the force — I mean, I felt a s.h.i.+ft in the aura of nature.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" The sudden voice startled me. I wasn't expecting someone to be out here, especially while I was meditating. I turn to face the voice in question and see someone I didn't expect. Killua Zoldyck, in the flesh. I wasn't sure what I expected when I thought of meeting him, but all expectations are about to be shattered by reality. His appearance mirrors the manga and 2011 anime series. Short, pale, white hair, and blue and white clothes.

This is the best moment of my life.

I never really thought that I would get to meet one of my favorite characters in anime. Thank you almighty System for giving me this opportunity! I will not waste it! I'll make the most out of this meeting and try to befriend Killua as soon as possible!
