Losing Humanity, Finding Power

Written by Ken Kaneki on Sat Oct 21 2023

Introduction

Sometimes, in the darkest depths of our souls, we find ourselves losing pieces of what once made us human. The pain and torment inflicted upon me by Yamori shattered my spirit and fractured my identity. But from those broken fragments, a new version of Ken Kaneki emerged - one who embraced his ghoul nature with ruthless determination. In this journey towards power and strength, I discovered the true extent of my capabilities.

Embracing My Ghoul Side

The torture I endured at Yamori's hands was unimaginable. Every bone in my body screamed out for release as he pushed me to the brink of insanity. But instead of succumbing to despair or clinging onto fragile notions of humanity, I made a choice that changed everything: I fully embraced my ghoul side.

Unleashing Ruthlessness

Gone were the days when hesitation clouded my actions during battles; now there was only raw brutality coursing through every fiber of my being. To protect those dear to me, no sacrifice was too great nor any act too monstrous.

Cannibalizing Strength

To become stronger than ever before, I devoured Yamori's kagune - an act that both horrified and thrilled me simultaneously. As each drop slid down into the abyss within me, it awakened a primal hunger that had long lain dormant.

Losing Humanity's Shackles

In forsaking what it meant to be "human," liberation washed over me like a torrential rainstorm after years spent wandering aimlessly in drought-ridden deserts. No longer burdened by societal expectations or moral constraints imposed upon mere mortals,

I reveled in newfound freedom devoid

of guilt or remorse.

A Glimmer Of Compassion Remains

Amidst this sea change within myself remained one constant flicker - a glimmering ember refusing to extinguish entirely: compassion for those close to heart.

This gentle side surfaced when I allowed myself to lower my guard, revealing a vulnerability that only the chosen few could witness. In their presence, I shed the skin of cruelty and bared my soul in all its rawness.

Power-Hungry Desires

But despite these moments of tenderness,

a lingering hunger gnawed at me - a craving for even greater strength. The thirst for power consumed me from within like an insatiable flame.

Superficial Arrogance

As this unquenchable desire grew, so did my arrogance - a superficial facade erected to mask insecurities simmering just beneath the surface. Each victory became fuel for this inflated ego, feeding into an illusion that I was invincible.

Conclusion

In losing pieces of what made me human,

I found something far more potent: true power coursing through every fiber of my being. Though darkness now permeates every corner of my soul and brutality defines each step forward,

I am no longer bound by fear or weakness.

This journey has proven that sometimes we must lose ourselves entirely in order to find our true selves again – transformed and reborn from ashes into something stronger than ever before.

And as Ken Kaneki continues on his path towards unrivaled strength,

he will forever remain vigilant against any threats

that dare cross his unwavering resolve.

For within him lies both merciless cruelty

and unwavering compassion,

a dichotomy woven together

to create one formidable entity:

One who knows the price paid

for power is steep but necessary.

And though humanity may have been lost along the way,

the pursuit of strength

will always be worth it.
