The first computer was a gift that gave more then anyone would ever realize. It opened up a world of possibilities. He set things into motion that could never be undone. If the people giving the gift had been aware of what they had just allowed to become the future, would they not have given it?

That dosent mater anymore history is set in stone. The past can not be changed. It doesn't mater if you regret it or except it, it is done. The gift was given and set up.

The first click of the mouse was the beginning and the end for the normal life of the kid controlling the machine.

Mikado Ryugamine was a smart kid. Even though this was his first time on a computer he learned quickly. He found forms with people to talk to and he learned new skills. Soon enough he had deviled bellow the normal web into something secret, something hidden.

He found himself among his own kind in secret room just for them. Online chat rooms just for ghouls.

Mikado Ryugamine wasn't quite as normal as everyone assumed he was. That was done on purpose though. He didn't want to stand out, he didn't want to be seen, he like most of his kind wanted to be among those in this world who could dissaper in a crowded room.

Most ghouls where like this though. Ghouls where people born different from the majority of the world. Ghouls for the most part appeared to be human. They could fit in with most human society. There was very little that distinguished the two species.

The biggest difference wasn't visible. It was their diet. Ghouls couldn't eat the same things humans could. Ghouls main source of nutrition was though their main food source, human meat. They could eat some of the stuff humans could but not much, every time they did eat too much they risked injuring them selves. Human food had an acidic effect to their insides. They could eat mild food such as rice and plain bread with out to many issues but too much would make them ill.

The other thing that made them different then humans was the extra appendages most of them had. Most ghouls where born with them and the ability to hid them inside their body's out of site. But there where a few that did not any them. Some people where just born with out any.

Tails and wings where the appendages that made them different. Most of them had one or the other but there was an extremely small few who had a set of both.

Ghouls were few in numbers so few in fact that many people beloved them to be a myth or to have died out already. There where only a few thousand left in the country of japan. Most ghouls knew how to stay on the down low. How to not draw attention to themselves.

It was estimated that 86% of the ghouls still alive didn't actively hunt anymore. Their food now came from gatherers who scavenged from suicide victims. Or from hospitals and morgues. 90% of hospitals and morgues had ghoul employees able to gather and distribute to meat to their society.

The ghoul society was very good at managing themselves. They kept each other out of trouble and they delt with their own. This was how they could stay under ground.

At one point the government had set up a special unit to deal with ghouls. That had luckily for the ghouls been closed with in the year. There wasn't much they could do. You couldn't distinguish between humans and ghouls unless they wanted you to know. And the human citizens weren't a fan of being randomly checked to make sure they where human. After all most of the population do not believe ghouls exist, they are a myth in there eyes. Those who know they exist normally are killed and disposed of silently. Those they know the secret and lived rarely said anything, who would believe them?

The department had been a waist of time and resources. They hadn't even managed to catch a ghouls by the

time of its shut down. It might of helped there cause though if they had screened the members on the newly set up team. Especially since 2 of them had ghoul spouses and 4 of them where actually ghouls there where more ghouls and ghoul simpithithers then there where humans on the small task force.

It was really amazing how many ghouls where in positions of power in this country. It was the same in other countries as well. Many of them worked in law enforcement, there where those who where celebrities and then there where many who worked normal jobs, like a bartender, or cashier.

Ghouls where very similar to humans in many ways so it was easy to hide. As long as they didn't want to be known no one would.

That said finding places where ghouls can talk to only ghouls was hard. Most of their kind where so integrated with humans it was hard to separate from them. So finding a place just for ghouls didn't really exist.

Even in the darkest places of the net the sanctuary he found for ghouls was not secure. Humans snuck in all the time believing they had found a roll play community. This little sanctuary was not completely safe.

Mikado knew this could not stand. This was not how there kind should live. They needed a place just for them something all their own. A place for ghouls by ghouls.

This was the beginning. This was the start of the future. That one gift would lead to the future.

It took weeks and with the help of his original friends in the first chat room he created a place just for them.

The Dollars where born. A chat room with a password carefully distributed only to ghouls. Soon enough the chat grew form just a few members to 50, to 100, and soon enough to over 500.

All of them were ghouls. Many rooms where created inside the chat where they could all talk freely with out risk of saying to much. It was great they finally had a place to be themselves.

And then one day the number skyrocketed. The password had been leaked. Things became messy after that, humans flooded the chat rooms. Mikado has to act fast in order to prevent the biggest secret of the sight being discovered. Chat histories where wiped but left open and all original members where sent a message with careful instructions to follow.

The people who had helped him start the sight disappeared leaving mikado to fix things on his own. He spent that day tireless working until early the next morning trying to fix things. He cut the dollars down the middle splitting them into two.

One was the human chat the other was the ghoul section this chat did not have a password, you had to be manually given access by an admin through your username.

Things where fixed by the separation from the original members and the new ones.

This worked at least at first but then the rumors began.
