We do not own Tokyo Ghoul

Prologue

No one knows where they came from. No one even knew how they came into existence. All we know is that they are weapons.

They are what you see right before you die. Their strange powers and armor like skin penetrating your skin, tearing your flesh apart as you scream in agony. They're hungry black and red eyes forever etched into your brain. The essence of their existence is like a living hell.

But most aren't that lucky. No some have to go through the most excruciating pain of all time. The agony that no man ever wish to go through. The most gut wrenching, vomit inducing scene that only has a room in the most sickest of minds.

The pain of being eaten alive.

These ungodly creatures that roam the earth for an unknown amount of time, eating other people, just to stay alive. While sometimes even eating each other. They are stronger than us, faster than us, smarter than us, and more advanced than us. Some say they are the evolved race of human beings but they are nothing close to human.

They look like us, they sound like us, they walk like us, but they aren't like us. They thrive upon the flesh of humans, gaining strength upon devouring the limbs of their weak mortal victims. They were the predators and, for once, the unimaginable happened.

Humankind was prey. They weren't the top of the food chain like they once believed to be.

And these creatures, with the power of their own blood cells that could level armies if they were strong enough, dominated mankind for decades upon decades. Never stopping, but growing bigger and bigger…

And that was just Japan.

It wasn't until the year 1900 when they went global.

Whole countries were turned upside down by these beings and nothing could stop them. They were the kings and queens. They brought out a new era of darkness and fear that lasted for the next forty years.

Orphaned children screamed into the dark night, shop alarms rang tirelessly as looters stole, people watched their backs as they couldn't trust anyone. Starving, homeless people sat on the sidewalks watching as people walked by without giving them a cent. Most of the world was reduced to a third of what it was when those abominations revealed themselves.

But there was a light in the dark. A rebel faction called the CCG in the country of Japan, emerged from the ashes of the old days, fighting back against the demons of new. They were everything that you would see in a fairy tale. A group of grave warriors vanquishing man's greatest enemy and liberating them from the dark times.

At first, the CCG utilized firearms to oppose ghouls, which proved ineffective due to their body composition and accelerated healing. However, after a certain period of time, the organization, under the then Chairman Yoshiu Washuu, they developed a new weapon to battle them called Quinque, which was made from their predatory organs called Kagune. Due to this, the extermination rate increased rapidly and soon enough, mankind was back on top.

CCG factions soon spread worldwide, combating in a war for their survival against the demons that had oppressed them for far too long. And it was just like what they did to them, humans did not discriminate. Men, women, even children were not spared and were slaughtered like cattle.

In 1940, The monsters fled. They were frightened by the thought of being eradicated by the hands of angered and empowered men, and retreated into the abyss of time.

Overtime, they grew scarce. You could go anywhere without seeing them and life got right back on track for those people. True, they were still out there lurking within the shadows and still committing the sinful act of cannibalism, but it was to a lesser degree thanks to the hardworking people at the CCG office that deals with cases involving the creatures.

Things began looking up for humanity for the next century. The days were brighter, the birds sang their whimsical tunes, and kids played everyday. Their laughter filling the skies. Not knowing the tension rising between the countries of the world. Not knowing of the new dark era that would soon be unleashed upon them. Not knowing the terror of the old days coming back to strike them with a mighty blow.

In the year 2040; Japan, Germany, Italy, Hungary, North Korea, Slovakia, and Bulgaria launched a joint attack on France, Britain, America, Poland, China, South Korea, and Yugoslavia.

A World War has started between the countries and, at the forefront...

Were the abominations that were condemned and killed for the actions of their own survival, but now made into weapons for the military.

The monsters, the demons, the creatures, the... Beings that look just like us, but aren't us.

The beings known as Ghouls.
