Night.
Japan, Tokyo.
14th Ward.
Inside a dark abandoned building. A middle age old man with glowing red pupils will be seen devouring the mess up corpse in front of him, hurriedly, afraid of getting caught by his own kin and beat him for eating in a place that isn't his territory.
His hands rip in the body of the poor dead person in his front, and pierce through its innermost grabbing its internal organs and quickly putting it on his mouth, chewing.
A flow of pleasing electricity crawled through his whole body making him feel ecstatic upon eating.
This abominable human looking creature is a Ghoul. A cursed human flesh eating creature that can only feed on human meat.
The Ghoul having a feast of his life suddenly came to halt upon hearing footsteps near him. His ears twitch, he turned his head and looked behind him and saw a young man clad in full black attire walking towards him.
The man in question is seemingly in his twenties. He has a black hair, and black eyes. He is wearing a black and white sideward stripes shirt top on with black jacket with folded sleeves up to his elbow, and he wears crosses in the form of pendant, rosary, and bracelet.
"Who are you?"
Ask the ghoul standing up. His face is covered in blood, he looks terrifying yet the man is unfazed by him.
"Are you sir a vegetarian?"
Ask the man that made the Ghoul frown at his horrendous question. What the hell is that question?
But when the smell of the blood of the man he ate finally subsided, the Ghoul finally smelled the man. He grinned.
"You're a human. You smelled quite different but you're surely a human."
"Yes I am a human, now I'm asking you, did you kill that man?"
The man asked pointing at the messed up body behind the Ghoul. The Ghoul glanced at the dead person behind him and smiled.
"Yes I am. You see, I'm a Ghoul. I killed him, and ate him. Afraid now?"
But contrary to the Ghoul's expectation, the man in front just ignored him and brought out a knife from his pockets.
Why is he unfazed by me? I-is he a Dove? No. He looks differently from them and he doesn't carry a suitcase. Anyway. "Are you sure that knife can kill?" The Ghoul chuckled knowing that his kind is immune to such things, but inside he felt something amiss.
Why he looks confident?
"Why don't you try?"
The man said coldly. "Tsk!"
The Ghoul ran towards the man and stabbed his right hand to the man intending to penetrate his body. But the man easily evaded it, and countered a kick in that made the Ghoul fly a few meters away from him.
The Ghoul rolled through the ground upon landing, and when the force of the kick finally subsided the Ghoul immediately stood up and shook his head bewildered.
What the hell is that strength? Is he really human?
The Ghoul was shocked at the strength the man performed. The strength of the kick he received is almost near on par to the strength of a Ghoul.
"Y-you what are you? Are you really a human?"
The Ghoul asks starting to get afraid. The man in front of him is ice as cold, confident, and terrifying. He's not afraid of him seeing eating a dead person, and even when he revealed that he's a Ghoul the man in front of him didn't even show even a tinge of fear, in fact he seems unbothered by it.
"It's too early for you to be afraid."
The man mumbled looking straight to his eyes with-- Glowing red eyes?
The Ghoul felt a chilling fear, the hairs on his body stood straight, and he gasped for breath having a hard time breathing for some unexplainable reason. The Ghoul shook his head, and looked at the man again. His eyes are black, not red. Am I hallucinating?
"Be ready."
"For what--"
The Ghoul words got stuck in his mouth when the man dashed to him appearing right in front of him crossing 5 meters in a blink with a clenched fist.
What the sh--
The thought of the Ghoul was halted when the clenched fist of the man connected to his face making him fly a few meters again.
The Ghoul hit a wall that made him stop. He realized that the kick he received earlier is nothing compared to that punch he just received.
Monster! He thought. He looked at the direction of the man and saw the guy running to him crossing the 10 meters space gap in just a matter of seconds.
I will die! The Ghoul thought and immediately unleashed his Kagune. A Koukaku. Coming out from his shoulder wing is a red black metallic scale that covered his right arm, and at his hand a saw-shark nose like a rapier appeared.
"Finally."
The Ghoul felt goosebumps upon hearing the man. He looked at him and saw the mysterious guys lightly smiling at him. "Why?"
The man threw the knife from his hand that pierced through the right eye of the Ghoul. The Ghoul then immediately yelled because of the pain and clutch the knife from his eye socket, and removed it. But at the next moment, he felt someone standing on his shoulder. He closed his eyes when he got pierced by the knife so he doesn't know what's happening around him.
*Crack!*
He heard a cracking sound. He opened his eyes and saw the world around him rolling around. Then it came to halt when his head hit something, then he saw it, his body standing still not far away from him, headless, with the mysterious man standing on the shoulder of his body.
He didn't even manage to use his Kagune!
What happened? I'm dead?
Was the Ghoul final thought as the world around him slowly turns dark.
The man jumped away from the body of the headless Ghoul as it limped and fell into the ground unmoving.
The mysterious young man landed not far away from the dead Ghoul. He then walked towards the corpse of the ghoul and unrooted the kagune from its body.
"So, is this now a Quinque? Can I actually kill Ghouls with this?"
The man asked no one specifically with a clueless expression on his face, checking the Kagune on his hand.
The man's name is Mikio Houryuu, a reincarnated person. He died because of the flood in his past life due to a strong typhoon. But before he died he managed to save the children of his neighbors before he got hit by a truck that got carried by flood.
He then met God in the afterlife after his death who gave him three random gifts as rewards for his heroic sacrifice. And one of the gifts he received is complete knowledge over all of the breathing techniques in the Demon Slayer verse.
What he used just now to strengthen himself is the Total Concentration Breathing. A breathing technique that enhances the user's physical traits, and capabilities to near superhuman level. Such as strength, speed, stamina, and mental abilities like thought process and reaction time.
Anyway, are Ghouls supposedly this weak? Or am I just that strong? I feel like I can beat this Ghoul again even without the knife.
Thought Mikio. He actually just knows a very few things about the Tokyo Ghoul series. He was still a pre-prubescent teen who liked edgy things when he watched it in his past life, and he was sure he didn't even manage to continue the second season because he's having a hard time understanding it.
Then, I'm basically ghoulproof with my strength alone huh. Anyway, I should go back home already.
Walking out of the building. Mikio carrying the Kagune on his back, rode his bicycle, and drove his way back to his home.
Unknown to him above the abandoned building where he just left, a silhouette of a man will be seen standing looking at his slowly disappearing back.
