On my way home I encountered two ghouls. One Ukaku and one Rinkaku. Great. Both types of ghouls I find annoying, and I encounter them at the same time.
"You lost friend?" one said.
"Nope. I'm right where I want to be. On my way home and minding my own business." I said.
"You're on our territory friend. Get lost or get eaten." The other said.
"Now, now fellas no need to make a scene." I coated my body because I knew I was kidding myself. That's the good part about my kagune, I wear a trench coat and baggy jeans so no one can tell if I've activated it or not.
"What do ya say Izen? Wanna flay him then eat him?" said the Rinkaku
"Sure thing Urka. He smells like a strong ghoul so we'll get stronger from his flesh." Said the Ukaku.
"You two really should think about…"
Before I could finish the Ukaku fired his feathers at me. They bounced off me like pellets on steel but the point of them was a distraction. The Rinkaku lunged at me and tried to impale my head but I was faster. Despite being weighed down by my shell, I was still faster and grabbed him by his head.
"You really should try a less predictable strategy." I said.
"Let me go!"
He tried to impale me but my shell was too strong despite him having the kagune-type advantage. Annoyed, I crushed his skull and left him writhing in agony on the ground.
I pointed to the Ukaku and said, "Your turn."
We lunged at each other but he clearly forgot that his feathers have no effect on me. He fired relentlessly but they each bounced off of me.
"What are you?" he shouted.
I pulled him out the air and punched him so hard I shattered his ribs and caused his wings to fall to pieces.
When I let him go he dropped to the ground coughing up blood, struggling just to breathe.
"I am The Ram." I told him as I pulled my mask out.
"Dammit…if only we knew…"
In the 17th ward, the Ram is famous for being the strongest, but since no one's seen my face, these two didn't know who I was.
"A little too late for that. Even worse I have to eat you two to hide my trail." I said.
He looked like he was going to beg for mercy but I stomped his skull into a bloody pulp. Then, I walked over to the Rinkaku and picked him up by the throat.
"Never challenge someone who isn't frightened by your ghastly appearance." I told him.
I reached into his chest and crushed his lungs. Rinkaku may be able to regenerate but even ghouls need air. Although I think the sheer pain of the incident alone was enough because he was dead before I knew it.
