New time [4/4]

"Even if all you see in your path are storms, remember that your strength is no coincidence. With that in mind, go ahead."

(P.V. THIRD PERSON)

(Forest, Location unknown)

Somewhere in a forest a figure was passing through the trees and it was possible to see only its shadow.

The figure was at a great speed as it was walking through the branches and immediately appeared again somewhere else.

The shadow ran and jumped between the trees with incredible skill and naturalness.

Its speed was so fast that it was only possible to see a black pattern but a trail of red was left.

Although his trails were interrupted when his figure stopped melting.

At last it was possible to identify that the appearance of the shadow.

The figure who is currently standing is dressed in clothes that consist of the color black and the most striking thing in his appearance is his long scarf of bright red color.

Another thing that attracts a lot of attention is his head with snow white hair.

(P.O.V KANEKI)

At this moment I was walking through the trees performing my morning exercise.

A while ago the common types of training were efficient, they became inefficient.

I would have had to make them heavier if I didn't want my strength to stagnate at one point.

It has been a while since I realized that my body is a little more special than those of normal people or even those who have some peculiarity.

Facts like stamina, physical endurance, regeneration, strength and all the basic functions are totally enormous compared to other beings.

After my encounter with Himiko Toga and everything that was happening in my body I tried to check and found out about everything.

What I found out was that he is unable to digest any kind of food due to some unknown factor (Enzyme produced in the bodies of the Ghouls)

Its tongue structure is also different making the food taste disgusting making it unbearable and if forced to eat it will be hit by a strong feeling of vomiting.

And if he still persists in eating normal foods his physical condition deteriorates the good fact of all this is that he is still able to drink coffee and water normally without any side effects.

Coming back to the topic of his body and training, I could see that the speed my body improved was high and he adapted very quickly and his body always warmed up and one could feel his blood boiling during physical activities.

Much like the effects of drugs but without any harmful side effects it was actually the opposite causing a good and calming sensation and improving your body in an equal quantity in every corner.

I also noticed something very important, this body is very tenacious and resistant to a level that perforating objects as well as resistance to high and low temperatures.

In the case of high temperatures your body is simply resistant enough to withstand all the heat without getting burned.

whereas in the case of low temperatures simultaneously it is just a 'simple' trick where I increase the speed at which my blood travels through my body sending heat through it.

Possible to achieve only by my current ability to manipulate blood, I do not know when I obtained this ability in case by the tests I am quirkless.

I still don't know the limits of this blood manipulation I will have to go deeper into this.

In the case of my cold temperature research, it took a while for me to wait for hell to come and travel to colder areas.

If you can say that it was a success your body stayed perfectly well spending the whole night and dawn outside in temperature between 0° and - 20°C.

Besides all that, basic human things as well as animals like hunger, thirst and sleep have a lot of time extended to me.

Hunger? Basically I don't feel such desires and in fact this is good because of my situation, I can stay for 4 months before I need to 'feed' myself.

My main self-proclaimed food source is called Himiko Toga, actually it was not my decision to have to feed myself from his blood.

But when I was worried about the whole situation of how I was going to resolve my situation so as not to have to become a hungry monster again as if she knew this she indicated to give me her blood.

At first I denied it without hesitation and she sulked and complained, that had been my decision not to take blood from any human being.

However, I could not remain like that as time went by, I was becoming more and more worried, I had no way of obtaining blood.

There would be no way through the hospital, no one has such information about my situation and if I have to stay like this, no one can know about my desire for human flesh, I will be judged as a monster in this society.

Besides, at the time I was 12 years old I had no way of getting what I wanted on my own, who in his right mind would give blood to a child?

Another alternative would be to buy it illegally, but I was 12 years old and had no money.

Besides, it would be too risky to make transactions, whether or not I'm being monitored by the heroes.

With all the possible routes of getting blood being blocked along with Toga asking me I ended up hesitating a little before accepting.

*Sigh* I let out a sigh when I came to such thoughts.

When I accepted her request to give me her blood the effect that my words of agreement had had was greater than I thought.

She immediately became happy and let out a huge smile, such a sight to other people would be like a blossoming flower, a beautiful sunflower that radiates light.

But I noticed a lust in her eyes, and not stopping there when I agreed to accept her blood I was thinking about something like laboratories do.

Taking blood and putting it in the blood bag, but who would have thought she wanted me to do 'that'.

What I mean by 'That' is basically biting her neck to take the blood, when I heard such a proposal I refused but she ended up cutting herself making my thirst awaken.

That sweet smell in the air immediately gave a reaction in my mind making me want it.

I ended up doing the act, and what I received was divine, the sweetness of his blood the best thing I have ever experienced in my life.

I sucked the blood with eagerness and it was like an instinct making me take his blood.

The sensation and pleasure was so great that I basically ignored Toga's body trembling as well as her irregular breathing that it made her release warm air through her mouth beyond the suspicious movement of her legs rubbing together.

Surely many things have happened during these recent times

For example Mirai-San (Sasaki Mirai Aka Sir Nighteye) after his separation from the number one Hero All Might as a Sidekick (Hero Partner) he ended up opening his own Hero office.

This in itself caused me some problems especially with a certain blue person bothering me whenever possible.

And after that everything still has a certain woman with purple hair and glasses.

Rize Kamishiro to Ghoul I met years ago.

I kept on meeting her during those years even though I had to lose the Toga that kept chasing me everywhere (The husband running away from his wife to find his mistress hehehe)

Rize gave me more detailed information about the so-called "Ghouls".

Things like your habits, abilities, etc.

She also informed me why she didn't recognize me as a Ghoul when we met.

The reason she gave me was that apparently I don't have the characteristic smell of one, an imperceptible smell for humans that only Ghouls perceive.

Rize said that I smell like an ordinary human.

"Although I smell like a normal human you exhale a rather good fragrance and perhaps appetizing if I may add" was what she said as she licked her lips and made a seductive smile at the end.

Ignoring her provocation, this fact took me a little by surprise.

This may be on the one hand good, being unrecognized among the other Ghouls on the other hand I may be seen as a potential 'food' before her eyes.

Continuing Rize explained to me that the population of the Ghouls is quite low when compared to humans, very low indeed.

The reason for the low population is...well to say it before you have to go back 100 years.

-----

100 years ago, a normal time but also the time of the outbreak of several with the so-called quirk/peculiarity.

At that time the population of Ghouls was larger than today, they lived hidden from humanity but humanity still had knowledge about them thus becoming cautious.

But humanity could do what.... The Ghouls were far superior to them so becoming their natural predators.

This all didn't last long, until the quirks began to manifest.

We all have the basic information that when the quirks began to appear a dark time rose over mankind.

A time when villains began to be born committing all kinds of crimes and satisfying their desires and selfishness.

But it was not only a dark time for humanity, it was also a dark time for its natural predator.

"This dictator certainly explains a lot of the situation the Ghouls of the time experienced.

The once weak and defenceless humans manifested mysterious abilities.

Little weak rats that grew teeth and sharp claws to scratch and bite the cat.

Placing this danger of attacking humans with possible peculiarity/Quirk, thus losing its source of nutrients along with its low birth rate was aggravating the situation of the Ghouls.

And something worse was added to this equation, and that was that the Ghouls could not manifest the mysterious abilities that humans were demonstrating.

And with all that, the Ghouls were forced to hide from the world and lower their attack rates.

As time went by, mankind forgot about the Ghoul's already hidden existence.

Today the Ghouls are grouped and formed social groups and each group has a leader. (You already know what I want to do, right?)

With aesthetics similar to humans live together with humanity, without humans having consciousness.

-----

So was the history of the Ghouls and why they are not known by the population today.

And that makes me wonder where I come from.

I have fragments of memories from my childhood and I'm pretty sure they were totally human.

I've never seen my parents having strange habits or anything like that.

Or maybe they hid it from me.

My memories don't seem to be complete and they're just little pieces.

I always think about that, but every time I do that I feel something in my head that makes me stop, as if something is blocking me.

All it takes is waiting, maybe time will tell the answer.

[So three years have passed]
