The world of "Hunter x Hunter" revolves around a society where specialized professionals called Hunters operate. Hunters are elites who track treasures, unknown creatures, criminals, and ruins, possessing authority greater than that of most nations. While the world appears to have modern civilization, it coexists with unexplored regions and monstrous creatures. The core energy of this world is **Nen**, which allows users to manipulate life energy for combat, healing, and special abilities. Nen is categorized into Enhancement, Transmutation, Emission, Manipulation, Conjuration, and Specialization. Later in the story, the Dark Continent—a realm outside the known world—is introduced, rapidly expanding the scale of the world with beings far more dangerous than humans.
