Prelude [2/3]

Walking down the street by the moon's rays on a cold night is a young white-haired man walking.

He's in a square going towards a café.

-------------------------

[P.O.V MAIN CHARACTER]

If a week has passed since the fight between me and Sir Nighteye or Mirai Sasaki.

Since that day I've been researching fighting styles and analyzing trying to learn.

The process is going very well and I am slowly getting used to them.

Studying about several of them may be necessary to add the other's weakness and thus create a martial art that fits all situations.

For now there is still plenty of time left even after completing everything I will still have to experience real struggles to do all this.

The difference in styles is that if it weren't for my body to strengthen all my members as well as their high regeneration and resistance it wouldn't be possible at least not in such a short time.

Among my thoughts I warn the caffe shop that it was my destiny.

After a few times I went out to walk around the place where I am currently residing I found this place that is about 15 minutes from home.

When I walk into the café, ringing the bell at the door, he chooses a place to sit. There aren't many people there at the moment because it's still about 10pm.

But there are still some people who are drinking coffee and enjoying the calm and relaxing atmosphere of the place.

When I sit down the attendant comes to take my order.

As I always ordered only a coffee with my palate still not accepting any kind of food I cannot eat them.

I had to wait only a few minutes to be able to smell the attractive and soft smell of coffee at the same time.

While I tasted the heavenly taste that coffee had after it touched my tongue I noticed something that caught my attention.

One person was reading a book called "The Black Goat Egg" by the author 'Sen takatsuki' a famous novelist author.

Coincidentally it was the same book that Todoroki-San was reading the moment I met her.

The person reading the book noticed my gaze after noticing me and she smiled at me.

A gentle and charming smile is what I would say about what appears to be a light-skinned young woman between the ages of 15 and 16 and tall at 1:64.

The appearance of a calm and shy young woman with a lean, curvy hourglass-shaped body, a simple white dress with long purple hair with purple eyes along with red frame glasses.

With a kind face and her smile I felt a sudden sensation of hunger that I can't explain.

Ignoring such signs I waved back to her and went back to my coffee shop I'm already too worried about the symptoms I'm presenting lately I don't need any more problems.

After I had all the coffee I ended up ordering another cup.

Taking the opportunity to feel at peace I took advantage of the calm climate and relaxed.

After something close to 10 minutes I finished the coffee and will return home.

At the counter I paid for the coffee and went towards the door observing the place and seeing that the young woman has already left.

Leaving the establishment I take a sigh and go home.

After not even 5 minutes I start to smell a familiar and tempting smell, I feel that I already felt it once but I don't remember.

With the curiosity in my head I start to walk towards the fragrance that attracts me.

When I arrived at the source of the fragrance my heartbeat speeds up, my pupils dilate and my senses cool down.

The young woman previously seen in the café was now in an alley surrounded by some bodies.

The previously perfect girl with a bright smile now had her lips bathed in blood showing wild beauty. [AN: Certainly Mc doesn't have a common sense of normal people he has a basic sense but since a childhood has stopped developing normally in the nine years he will have certain matters that will be unknown to him and will have to discover].

?¿?: "Now it seems we have an unwelcome guest here"

Seeming to perceive something, she eventually discovered me and turned her head towards me.

When she turned her head towards me our eyes met surprised by what I saw.

Familiar black eyes with red pupils stared at me.

Ignoring my apparent surprise she gives an elegant smile that is certainly out of the situation around her.

?¿?: "Since you were disrespectful to interrupt a lady's meal, I don't think you'd mind the consequences.

As I spoke, four red tentacles came out of his shore and advanced towards me with their great speed.

As the speed of the tentacles was fast along with the distance that our bodies kept no more than 7 meters.

Even if my brain reacted, my body couldn't keep up with the speed of my thoughts.

Attempts pierced my stomach through my stomach.

Scarlet blood like red embers drips from my stomach.

The physical pain unfortunately I don't know because it became a habit to catch empty hands.

That which is free is what has the greatest price.

Illusion of existence with this great apathy.

I feel so incoherent I don't care about myself or what happens while at the same time I have this desire to save people and make them happy.

I really don't know why I should risk myself and perhaps want to feel something more.

While the Young Woman was already in front of him and couldn't see his face because of being down

? All right, it's mealtime ?

Kaneki: "It won't work"

When the young woman was getting ready to open her mouth I interrupted her.

"Han?"

She asked thoughtfully with doubt

Kaneki: "You don't wanna do this"

As I answered your question, I looked directly into your eyes.

Dead black eyes with red pupils face eyes of the same color surprised.

Kaneki: "You'll have to do better than that."

"Are you a Ghoul too?"

Kaneki: "Ghoul? What's that?"

Now hearing an unknown word I asked a question with doubt.

Rize was shocked by your words

Rize: "Don't you know what it is?"

Kaneki could only wave, Rize seeing total confusion in his eyes just sighed and smiled as if he'd found something fun.

"I see you don't know, so let me explain."

She removed her tentacle from my stomach and returned to her body as the wound in my body quickly closed.

Although I am a little confused by the pace of this situation, it is because she had previously tried to devour me, and I continue to listen, realizing that she is no longer on the offensive with me.

Rize: "First let me introduce myself I'm Kamishiro Rize a Ghoul"

Kaneki: "Ken, Ken kaneki"

Rize: "Now back to the subject a Ghouls are a carnivorous species that can only feed on human beings. They are as close to humans as possible: They usually have the same physical appearance and intelligence as a human being with the exception of diet and inner biology.

Kaneki: "What are these Ghouls like?"

Rize: "As I mentioned, they're human-eating beings and with that we also have these tentacles called Kagunes and our Kakugan can clearly differentiate our appetites and clear biology"

Rize: "You probably won't need so much sleep you can see in the dark and high regeneration and stamina.

Kaneki: "I understand"

While she's telling me this, I can just nod trying to process everything.

Rize: "A while ago the Ghouls were quite common among humans but because of the emergence of the Quirks and their sudden overpopulation we ended up shrinking and having to live in hiding so as not to attract attention".

Kaneki: "So that's why I've never heard of or been mentioned before"

Kaneki who was listening to the explanation now discovered why from never having heard of Ghouls they must be in the darkness of society.

Rize: "Well, there are groups of Ghouls scattered, aren't you hungry?"

When you heard Rize's question you turned your head to the dead bodies and almost completely dismembered.

Kaneki: "No, I'm not."

Rize: "I understand a moment will be and when it comes it will be strong, I need to go now, even more we will continue our conversation later.

Rize talks to Kaneki and walks away as if nothing had happened.

Kaneki watches her until her figure disappears and when it happens she looks at the bodies again and feels that she needs to hurry to get strong

Well now he needs to come home the night is getting even darker.
