I will survive—no, thrive—even if I’m no longer human. I woke up as Rindo Shirogane, an unnamed ghoul in Tokyo’s chaotic 14th Ward—a shadowed battleground hidden beneath the facade of everyday life. Here, survival means strength, but strength often means consuming humans or your own kind. Worse, the ghoul-hunting Doves are after me, hunting for blood after an incident tied to the original Rindo. Survival starts with learning to stand again, both figuratively and literally. My body is weak, my hunger gnawing, and the enemies closing in. Yet, I’ve been given a sliver of hope: a game-like system, foreign to this brutal world. If I use it wisely, I might have a chance—not just to survive but to climb the ranks of the Kurokumo Gang, uncover Rindo’s past, and stake my claim in this violent, unforgiving world.
