Orario Ghoul[Tokyo Ghoul/Danmachi SI] - Chapter 1

xxx

Question is it wrong to eat people?

Under normal circumstances, that would be a self-evident yes answer, cause cannibalism was fucked and would eventually kill you via prions and brain damage.

But one quickly changed their opinions on the matter when you woke up in a medieval back alley looking like a female Kaneki Ken post-Jason, your left eye flickering from red and black to normal, every single humanoid around you smelling like a five-star menu.

For that was what had happened to me, for I had woken up in a copy of Kaneki's body at least, I assumed so cause I hadn't gotten any memories of the kid smashed into my head. Probably a few muscle memories cause I could feel my new tentacle Kagune ready to be used. Though something told me they were not in centipede mode just yet. And it seemed like I had woken up the world of Danmachi going by the myriad of races that surrounding me as I walked down the street, and the giant tower that was behind me was an obvious indicator of the setting I had been isekai'd into. For that was the called self-inserts these days, wasn't it?

Anyway, it was not like there was anything I could do what had happened, I was a Tokyo Ghoul in Orario now, and I was just going to have to live with it. And it seemed like whatever being had brought about this situation had made it so that I would readily accept what had happened to me, because like me, he apparently hated angst and so I had immediately skipped straight to acceptance.

And I was okay with that for again. I just hated angst, and I didn't want to wallow around in a pit of depression, crying about my lost humanity like Kaneki had done. I would rather avoid that phase; thank you very much.

And I also didn't have a problem with being a woman now, as my gender wasn't really a part of my identity it didn't matter if I had a dick or a vagina, my own bisexuality probably playing a big role in that. But I could deal without the outfit that I had woken up in leaving half my butt exposed to air. But (heh) besides that, I liked the skin-tight outfit that I was wearing. And with my now almost indestructible Ghoul skin, walking barefoot on the ground was actually rather pleasant.

Though with all the Amazons around my exposed behind didn't really attract too many eyes.

But with me now being a Ghoul, my diet had changed, and now I would only be able to humanoids, or at the very least humanoids. As according to my nose elves, amazons and demi-humans all had RC-Cells within them for seemingly my convenience. And with this being Danmachi, I had a buffet in the form of the dungeon for finding bodies to eat; as a ghoul, I could probably right now run around the middle-floors without any problems. And since this was also Danmachi, I was probably also considered a 'monster' with my now required consumption of sapient beings.

I wonder if I could eat magic stones? Nah, probably not that requires you to be a hybrid? Fuck, is that the name? Whatever, I'm just another demi-human race now, just one with a specific dietary need. I thought to myself.

"Now, what to do, what to do?" I said to myself as I continued down the main street Orario. "Probably should to the Guild and ask if there are new Familias in need of new members?" Yeah, that sounded like a good idea me.

Hopefully, Hestia has found Bell by now and created their Familia cause I couldn't see myself being anywhere else. And they were probably the only ones who would accept me being a Ghoul, a man-eater.

Now, where was the Guild at? "Ah, excuse me?" I asked an elderly looking man who was tending to a small bookshop. Huh should probably return to this place, then I get some cash. And I also took note of my voice; finally, I sounded exactly like Sakura Matou. Which was a voice that kinda fit a female Kaneki.

"What can I help you with young lady? Looking for a specific book?" He asked me, and I was going to get used to being referred to by female pronounce.

"Maybe later, but I am new here in Orario, and I was wondering where the Guild was? I am looking to become an adventurer," I responded and asked with a smile.

"Another young soul seeking to make their fortune, eh? Well, just continue down the street, young lady, and you will arrive at the Pantheon. Easily recognizable by all the adventures walking in and out of place," He answered with a smile in return.

"Thank you, sir," I politely responded back as I walked away.

Though as I did, my now enhanced hearing heard him say. "Hopefully she won't die the first week, it is so sad when they don't return."

Yeah, you weren't going to bite the dust anytime soon if you had anything to say about it. I continued down the street, and after five minutes, I arrived at the entrance of the Pantheon. The large building where most adventures made their money by turning in drops and Magic Stones.

Hopefully, Bell's advisor would be available to talk to as that would probably put me on a fast track route towards the Hestia Familia.

I entered through the doors, and my eyes tried to locate the half-elf, and there she was sitting at her desk, sorting through papers. The brown-haired elf looking slightly concerned, guess that meant that Bell was an adventurer and down in the dungeon. Cause if I remembered correctly, she only expressed such emotions, then she was an advisor to an adventurer.

I walked over to her and slightly coughed, getting her attention. "Hello, what can I help you with?"

I twisted my long white hair around my fingers as I actually tried to find my words. I hated speaking with these kinds of people, cause it always made me feel nervous. "I, I am new here in Orario and want to become an adventurer, and I don't really know how that is done? I know it involves a Familia, but not much else," I told Eina.

"Well, good thing you came to the Guild and didn't just enter the dungeon immediately," She responded.

"People actually do?" I asked, I thought at least no one would be stupid enough to try that without a Falna. I could because Ghoul bullshit, but still, it at the very least wanted a Falna before heading down into that freaking deathtrap.

"A few do, though they mostly do it out of ignorance, or pride, believing it can't be that dangerous. But as for becoming an Adventurer, the process is a rather simple one, miss?" She asked for my name.

"Emilya, Emilya Kaneki," I responded, going with a feminine version of my old name and using Kaneki's own surname as my own.

"Well, Miss Kaneki as I said the process to officially become an adventurer is rather simple you just need to sign a few documents, but the hard part is to find a Familia to take you in," She said as she brought up a stack of legal documents, and I felt my smile strain a bit.

"I get right on this," I responded as I took the stack of documents and a pen.

"I know this is everyone's least favorite thing, but it makes out job easier. There is a booth over there where you can sit in peace and fill them out," Eina informed me, pointing towards the booths.

I went over there and sat down, I couldn't really remember if this shit was canon or not, but it made sense. And thankfully, as I had discovered with Eina's nameplate, I could read the language that they used here, and even write it.

And before I could even start reading the first page, a loud bang rang through the Pantheon, and a male voice shouted. "Miss Eina, can you tell me about Aiz Wallenstein!"

"Bell, what happened!" Responded, said half-elf.

And there was mister protag, who just go saved by Aiz, which meant that he had just gained Liaris Freese. A very broken skill that would boost his development, the greater his feelings for Aiz were.

And it had been a hotly debated topic among the fanbase, many stating that he was undeserving of such a skill, along with asking why only he had such an ability, and no one else did, asking if it meant that he only got because he wanted more than anyone else? And the answer was yes, and anyone who disagreed were idiots. Cause denying that would be to deny reality, it was a clear thing that many people had greater desires than others, that others wanted more. It only takes basic observation skills to see that some people, hated more than others, loved, desired, wanted, grieved, slothed. All those things some people did it more than others, and if you disagreed with that very obvious notion, then in my mind you were a moron.

Liarise Freese was born from Bell's very pure desire to reach Aiz's level and stand by her side, to not wanting to be saved by her. While it was fueled by his boner for her, it was not born from it. And I honestly couldn't say I had the same drive as Bell, for there still existed doubt and failure in my mind. I knew that if I had come here as an average human, I wouldn't be able to reach level two at all, heck I would die the first time going into the dungeon. Heck being a Ghoul was the only thing giving me the confidence to even go, cause I held an advantage that others didn't right now.

The same was not true for Bell Cranel, the words failure and doubt did not exist in his mind. There was no part of his brain that told him what he was doing would fail that I would not work. Unlike most adventures, and of course, that wasn't true for everyone but most adventures. And then the question of why didn't anyone else have it? And the answer to that was that they did, the Falna gave them the skills for precisely they desired. Aiz wanted vengeance and to kill the Black Dragon so she got Avenger, a skill that boosted her strength when fighting dragons. Finn wanted to show the world the spirit of the Pallum species, so he got Pallum Spirit a skill that raised his abilities then facing adversity.

So all in all, those that complained quite simply didn't get how this shit functioned. And once again shown with Bell's two other skills Argonaut and Ox-slayer.

How much has passed now? I asked myself as I finished signing the last piece of legal paper that jus culminated in the fact that the guild wasn't responsible for my death if I died in the dungeon.

I had been on a very long-winded mental rant the entire time.

"Ah, Miss Kaneki, are you finished?" Eina asked, coming into my booth.

"I am, now," I answered. "Now, I just need to find a Familia that is willing to take me in."

"I actually wanted to talk to you about that, I might have a solution to that. Bell, could you come over here?" She asked, and second later, my now fellow white head was standing by his advisor's side. "Ms. Kaneki this is Bell Cranel, Bell; this is Emilya Kaneki the one I mentioned earlier. Ms. Kaneki, Bell here is a member of a newly formed Familia and is currently the only member. So I was wondering if you would go with him to talk to his Goddess about possibly joining?"

"Sure, if Bell here is fine with it?" I asked the young boy as he stared at me his face slightly red, and that felt kinda flattering. He smells delicious too.

"I, I don't I am sure the Goddess will be happy to have another member of the Familia, and another one to help me out in the dungeon," He finished his sentence with a somewhat nervous laugh as his eyes shifted to Eina.

"Then thank you for the invite Bell, I hope we can be a Familia together then."
