AU NOTE: So I've been watching and reading a lot of BnH lately. Thought this concept might be fun to experiment with. Feel free to ask me anything.
Ah, I'm dead, aren't I? Kaneki thought, sadness clear in his bitter thoughts. Yet, he felt an odd sense of happiness. I did it, I finally died in style. If he could smile, he would have.
As Kaneki prepared to faint into darkness, voices slowly surrounded him and got louder by the second. He couldn't comprehend why he could still hear and neither could he understand what they were saying. This went on for what seemed to him like an eternity. He couldn't make sense of what they were trying to say, as his mind felt numb.
"So you've finally arrived."
Surprised to hear a voice so clearly, he felt his body move around - as if he was being handed over to someone. Already knowing what was occurring, he opened his eyes. The light nearly blinded him but was covered by a tall figure that stood in front of him. Rather, the figure was holding him tightly as if he was a baby. Looking up, he saw a man's face covered by scar tissue except for the mouth. Several tubes and medicinal stuff were connected to him. On the man's lips, a wicked grin was placed.
"My invaluable pawn."
This marked the day that Kaneki Ken was reborn. Born into the world where evil and good clashed against each other every day through the help of superpowers. And his supposed father just so happened to be the greatest evil of this world.
