Hunter x Hunter 344: Author
The chapter starts with Kurapika, who remembers all those he had deal with to bring back the Scarlet Eyes, a doctor, an artist, even the mafia boss' daughter, he never mentions kill, but coaxing and threatening. Now, Kurapika is set to find the last pairs of eyes, who are rettained by the 4th Kakin Prince... What will happen to Kurapika once he does? Not even him knows.

After Mizaistom advices him to be careful, Leorio and Kurapika have a little chat over the phone, in which Kurapika refuses totally to give Leorio his e-mail adress, as they now will be Zodiacs.

Meanwhile, somewhere, Gon (who had changed clothes for the first time in ever) is trying to release Aura but... He can't. (No, you didn't call it, Pitou did).

Back to Ging and Beyond's crew, Ging offers to double Netero's pay to the members, and also promises not to rise any sort of conflict, making them somehow accept that he is the 2nd highest ranked, though not everyone is comfortable with the idea.

After this, Ging starts explaining further the voyages that were sucessful in the Dark Continent. The V5 sent expedition teams which brought back two things: overpowered natural resources (the ore "Mujinseki" can bring out 20k KW worth of power for a day with just a bead, or a plant that is said to cure any disease), and a new calamity. Five calamities were brought by the "Guides" as warnings each time.

Ging explains that, sometime ago, Netero (Isaac) went to the Dark Continent with his friends but there isn't real proof. However, it is shown that Isaac (you probably read it as "Aizack" since that's the romanization of his name) went with Zzig Zoldyck (!) and Linnet Audoble (who?). The high risks that the voyages implied that brought little to nothing reward made Isaac Netero make the Dark Continent 'taboo' until his death. There are mor resources and stuff but what a pain to explain them all.

After weird glasses guy points something out (if there are some mementos from those who went to the Dark Continent), Ging says there are, and it is a book written 300 years ago. One of the fools that went there, wrote about the East of the Dark Continent, however, the West part has not been found yet... Why is that? Because the book is still not finished...

The crew -aside Pariston- is completely impressed, how is possible that something written 300 years ago is still being written? Wouldn't the author have died... Oh? Oh.

And guess who's that author... Don Freecss (!!!)

As we approach to the Dark Continent Expedition, events of the past are coming to the light...
