The end of Part 2 of Vol 1 is where the Protagonist would become cold and calculative. The starting chapters will feel very Tokyo Ghoulish, and trust me that's intentional as that heavily inspired me, but please don't drop this until you reach further ahead in the story. This story shapes up the world I'm trying to create, filled with different factions, goals, and the threads of fate guiding them. If you are giving this a chance then I'm very thankful. *** I'll be uploading 5 chapters every week!
