This world is wrong.

I have to eat. To eat is to steal.

I have to eat. To eat is to protect.

I have to eat. To eat is to lose

I have to eat. To eat is to make a mistake.

My salvation is just to sleep and have a happy dream.

My salvation is...


My head still hurts when i get out of bed. But today I must be strong, I can´t show signs of weakness. It's just that today is a special day, an important day for me and the ones around me, because they looked after me so I would be healthy today. But, there's still something that bothers me, and i can't stop thinking about it...

Who am I really?

I lost my memory, or that's what I've been told. I can only remember my name, the name that was on my library card. It seems like I was in a coma for a while, due to a construction accident. They say that it was a shame that I didn't have any relative or friend to contact due to the memory loss, but I don't think like that. Since I woke up, nobody has come to visit me. Not even once, is it that no one wanted to see me at all? was I that unimportant before? well, that's exaggerating. Actually, nobody from my past life has visited me, but "they" did.

And it's thanks to them that today I have the opportunity to do something important.

-Are you ready for your induction, young man?

Always so serious, I like that. I can't answer; I'm afraid that my voice betrays me and shows my weakness. That's why I just nod as a reply, and they guide me to a big room, it seems like it's an auditorium. This is more than I expected, and I can't help it but feel overwhelmed by the amount of people that appears to be the public while i walk to the front part, in front of everyone and next to the man that led me here. I don't remember his name, but I know that he is respected here. Many of the people here look me with hate and anger. I guess that's normal, since I didn't have any kind of training, and today shall be granted a great honor for me, for reasons not even I know.

-Attention, please. From today, this young man will be the protégé and disciple of our biggest hero, and that's why I want all your cooperation.

There's barely a reaction from the public, do they distrust me so much? but I will prove that i can help. Ah, here comes my mentor, and he reaches me while showing a light smile. From now on, he is going to take care of my training and I will work by his side. He emits a cold aura, like one from the death. Honestly, I would hate to have him as an enemy. But what strikes me the most about him, it's his hair.

-It will be a pleasure to work with you, Ken Kaneki.

Yeah, his white hair, just like mine.

From now on, I'm officially a Ghoul Investigator, and personal assistant of Arima Kishou.

And I will risk my life if that's needed to achieve my goal: to annihilate all the ghouls from this world.
