It Started Today⏳
Episode 1
"When you meet a friend, you wouldn't know it until you know their names."
It was an apocalypse for years. It was all about survival from the sudden appearance of creatures known as "Ghouls". Ghouls are cannibalistic creatures that eats human flesh and nothing else satisfies them more but the freshness and softness of the humans' gullible flesh. They don't eat what humans do except coffee.
They can hide their monstrous form and walk like a human, talk like a human and act like a human among the crowd. It is hard to determine them like that. But not long ago, a doctor developed a machine that can identify a human from a ghoul by studying a ghoul's cells. It's been am effective way to protect buildings from being infiltrated and until now they use that machine.
Right now the protectors of every ward are in need of new recruits. CCG, released an announcement about their need and fatefully many of the citizens signed up for it. Of course only selected worthy participants will be trained to be an official Investigator.
"Kaneki hurry up! The train is moving!"
Kaneki Ken awakes from his slumber and gazed on his clock that says 7:59am. He gasped and darted his eyes on the calendar where small letters were written on the 30th of April. "CCG Academy Registration Starts at 9am!"
He was late.
Kaneki fell on his bed and quickly ran to grab his towel and went for the bathroom. He was late! He was late! He was late!
Arriving at the station, he lined up for tickets and he was very unfortunate to have his ticket get snatched from his hand by the sudden breeze.
What an unlucky day for him.
"Ah!"
He ran after his ticket, but lost sight of it thanks to the crowd that morning.
A boy with stitches on his arms picked up the ticket and grinned. He didn't have any money but looks like he had the chance to ride a train.
Kaneki lined up again, scratching his head at the long line.
"Whoa you again?" a blonde boy tells him with a smile.
"Yeah, hehe, I kinda lost the one I bought earlier." Kaneki replies and the blonde boy takes an extra ticket from his pocket, giving it to Kaneki.
"Use this. I bought it for my roommate but looks like he had a car to rent."
Kaneki's eyes widened at the kindness of the stranger. He didn't want to accept it but the blonde one insisted and gave it to him.
"Go on. You look like you're in a hurry. I'll see you around!"
Kaneki takes the ticket and thanked the stranger with the biggest smile he can ever form. As he waved the stranger goodbye, he was about to walk pass the gate but then he saw a tall woman with purple hair having a debate with the guard. Out of curiosity, he approached them.
"I had a ticket but I lost it. Please I can't be late!" the woman insisted.
But it looks like the guard won't let her pass the gate no matter what. Kaneki looked at the ticket in his hand and sighed.
"Uhm excuse me." he catches their attention. "Is this your ticket ma'am?"
The woman turned to him and beamed. "You found it! And surprisingly returned it too." she says, taking the ticket in his hand.
"Just a coincidence." he says and the woman hugged him to show her gratitude. But as she hugged him, she whispered her thanks for his generosity and left.
Kaneki glanced at his watch to see that it was 8:21! He was NOT gonna make it with this line.
He ran out the station to call for a cab.
Good thing a cab stopped and parked to the side. As he ran to it, he realized a blonde woman with short hair was also running towards the cab. Both of them reached for the door's handle and stared at each other.
"I called this cab!" they both say.
Since she was a woman, Kaneki pulled his hand and backed off.
As the woman rode the cab and drove off, Kaneki sighed to himself. He thought that maybe he wasn't meant to register at the Academy this way.
"Hey!"
He heard a woman call. He turned back at the street and sees the cab parked a couple of meters away from him, and the woman partly looking at him from where she sat.
"I'm going to the Academy. You?"
"I'm going there too!" he says enthusiastically. The woman beamed at him.
"Well hop on! We can't be late." she tells him and closes the door.
"Yes ma'am!"
And so he ran to the seat next to the driver's and finally had a ride to the Academy.
Whether his adventure was going to be easy, fun or the other way around, he'll never know. But what he knows is that good deeds pay off in an unexpected way.
