A Glimpse into Darkness

Written by Ken Kaneki on Sat Oct 21 2023

Intro

Life has taken a turn for the worse. The darkness that once lingered at the edges of my being has consumed me entirely. No longer am I the timid and fragile boy who was terrified of his own nature. Now, I have embraced the monstrous side within me, reveling in its power and brutality.

Embracing my Ghoul Nature

The events that unfolded after Yamori's torture changed everything for me. The pain and suffering he inflicted upon me awakened something deep within my soul - a hunger for strength and dominance. In order to protect those dear to me, I had no choice but to shed any remnants of humanity clinging onto my existence.

Unleashed Rage

I found solace in relinquishing control over myself during battles; allowing the beast inside to wreak havoc upon anyone who dared cross my path. It was as if a dam had burst open, releasing an unfathomable rage that had been suppressed for far too long.

With each swing of Kagune-infused strikes, I reveled in the carnage left behind – broken bones shattered beneath merciless force as screams echoed through empty corridors. My enemies trembled before me while their blood stained these trembling hands crimson red.

A Newfound Arrogance

Power became an addiction; with each victory came an insatiable thirst for more strength – it consumed every waking moment of mine like poison coursing through veins hungry for supremacy.

In this pursuit of dominion, arrogance took root within me like weeds choking out any semblance of humility or compassion remaining from days past.

Struggling Beneath Shadows

It is not without struggle that one traverses down such twisted paths toward darkness's embrace; even now there are times when flickers of doubt cloud judgment momentarily reminding myself why treading this treacherous terrain felt necessary somehow... yet futile all at once.

Despite all efforts made by friends attempting pulling back from abyss's edge, I find myself inexorably drawn deeper within its clutches - forever changed and driven by a force beyond comprehension.

The Gentle Mask

And yet, even in this sea of darkness that engulfs me, there are moments when the gentle side of my soul emerges. It is during these fleeting instances that I catch glimpses of who I once was – a reminder that buried beneath layers of cruelty and brutality lies a heart still capable of tenderness.

Love for Comrades

My friends... they are the ones who anchor me to sanity amidst chaos. Their unwavering support and belief in what we fight for ignite a flicker of hope within an otherwise desolate existence.

When their lives hang precariously on threads spun by fate itself, it is then that my true purpose becomes clear: to protect them at all costs – no matter how deep into darkness I must venture or how many bones need breaking along the way.

A Struggle Within

But such duality does not come without consequence or internal conflict; wrestling with shadows is akin to battling oneself endlessly until one succumbs entirely or finds solace somewhere between lightness and obscurity.

In those rare moments where introspection takes hold over bloodlust’s grip upon mind's reins - questions arise unbidden like specters haunting empty corridors:

Who am I, truly? Can redemption ever be found amidst ruins wrought by monstrous hands?

Conclusion

As time passes relentlessly onward, so too do these thoughts continue plaguing restless nights spent contemplating choices made along this perilous journey. Yet despite uncertainty gnawing at frayed edges woven together through endless trials faced head-on...

I remain resolute in navigating labyrinthine paths before me - whatever may lie lurking beyond each twisty turn awaiting discovery alongside newfound strength born from embracing darkest aspects residing deep within my being.
