章 79: Born of Necessity

The creation of ghouls was a dark tale rooted in desperation and ingenuity, a reflection of the unyielding will to survive even in the face of annihilation. Their existence, a stark contrast to that of vampires, painted a chilling picture of creatures born not of nature but of necessity.
