Tokyo, 20th Ward.

  "I really transmigrated..."

  Taking in the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar surroundings, Amane Byakuya fell into a brief contemption. He had already realized what had happened.

  Especially when he saw a young woman who looked extremely familiar—this only solidified his belief that he had truly transmigrated.

  She had long, smooth, and beautiful purple hair tied with a butterfly-shaped ribbon resembling rabbit ears.

  She wore red-framed gsses and a purple dress. Her tall and alluring figure exuded the aura of an elegant and intellectual beauty.

  This purple-haired, purple-eyed woman… wasn’t she Rize Kamishiro?

  Rize KamishiroThe pce where Amane Byakuya currently found himself was none other than the "peaceful district," also known as the Antique Café.

  He only remembered being hit by a dump truck, his vision going bck—then, when he regained consciousness, he realized he had transmigrated into the world of Tokyo Ghoul. Having seen Tokyo Ghoul, he naturally recognized both Rize Kamishiro and this café.

  [Ding! Host has successfully activated the system. Default fusion: Uchiha Madara!]

  At that moment, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Amane Byakuya’s mind.

  Immediately after, a system panel appeared before his eyes.

  [Host: Amane Byakuya][Identity: Human][Age: 18]

  [Fusion Target: Uchiha Madara][Fusion Progress: Lv1 (0/100)]

  [Equipment: None]

  [Abilities: One Tomoe Sharingan, Hashirama Cells Lv1, Taijutsu Lv1, C-Rank Ninjutsu "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique," C-Rank Ninjutsu "Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique," C-Rank Ninjutsu "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique," D-Rank Ninjutsu "Body Flicker Technique"]

  [Fusion Points: 0][System Store: Locked]

  Amane Byakuya was immediately overjoyed—he had acquired Madara’s abilities!

  And as his fusion progress increased, he would likely unlock even more of Uchiha Madara’s powers.

  At the same time, the system infused additional information into his mind.

  For instance, although he had "transmigrated" into this world, he had a legitimate identity as a Tokyo citizen. He also possessed full proficiency in the Japanese nguage—when asked how, the answer was simple: the system is omnipotent.

  As Amane Byakuya focused on the system panel, Rize Kamishiro—sitting across from him—suddenly smiled at him. Her soft smile carried a refined, sweet charm.

  But he knew the true nature of Rize Kamishiro.

  This seemingly gentle and intellectual beauty was, in reality, a brutal ghoul—a notorious S-rated "Binge Eater".

  In this world, beings known as ghouls existed. They looked nearly identical to humans but fed on human flesh and couldn’t consume normal food. Their strength also far surpassed that of ordinary humans.

  Most ghouls were already cruel by nature, and Rize Kamishiro was among the most ruthless of them all.

  Just then, the system’s voice echoed in his mind once again.

  [Ding! Host has activated a mission. Unlocking God-Tier Choices!]

  [Choice 1: Ignore Rize Kamishiro’s smile. Reward: 1 Fusion Point!]

  [Choice 2: Gre at her fiercely and shout, "What are you looking at?" Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]

  [Choice 3: Walk over and confess to Rize Kamishiro with deep emotion. Reward: 50 Fusion Points!]

  Looking at the three options that had popped up before him, Amane Byakuya contempted for a moment before making his decision.

  Without hesitation, he stood up and walked toward Rize Kamishiro.

  Under her slightly puzzled gaze, Amane Byakuya spoke with sincerity, "Miss, from the moment I first saw you, I fell in love at first sight."

  The moment he finished speaking, even he felt that his own words were a bit too cheesy.

  Moreover, his voice was loud enough that many people in the café heard him. Instantly, their attention was drawn to him.

  Many of them cast him odd gnces.

  In reality, most of the customers in this café were ghouls. Occasionally, a human would accidentally wander in, but because the 20th Ward was under the rule of an SSS-rated ghoul, who had set strict rules, the ghouls here wouldn’t randomly attack humans who entered the café.

  And precisely because they were ghouls, they all knew Rize Kamishiro’s true nature.

  So, when they saw a human boy confessing to this greedy and ruthless S-rated "Binge Eater", their thoughts were nothing short of amusing.

  Some ghouls were already pitying this young human, convinced that his fate would soon be tragic.

  At this moment, Amane Byakuya felt a little embarrassed, but if it meant getting 50 Fusion Points, then a bit of awkwardness was nothing.

  He knew Rize Kamishiro inside and out, so confessing to her wasn't something he found completely unbearable. After all, she wouldn’t reject his confession like a human girl would. She would just see him as food.

  If he wasn’t rejected, then it wasn’t that embarrassing. Though something about this logic felt off, it still made sense in its own way.

  [Ding! Host has completed Choice 3. Reward: 50 Fusion Points!]

  With the Fusion Points in hand, Amane Byakuya instantly felt that it was worth it.

  Now, he only needed another 50 Fusion Points to level up his Fusion Progress to Lv2—which meant he would likely unlock even more of Uchiha Madara’s abilities.

  In a world as dangerous as Tokyo Ghoul, he at least needed the strength to protect himself. Otherwise, he could be eaten at any time, which would make him the most pathetic transmigrator ever.

  ---Amane Byakuya’s sudden confession caught Rize Kamishiro off guard, a hint of surprise fshing across her face.

  "Oh? If you really like me that much, I think we should give it a try," she said with a gentle, dylike smile.

  The fact that she agreed so quickly actually surprised Amane Byakuya.

  He had thought she might py hard to get for a while.

  But she was probably just eager to enjoy a fresh meal, right?

  Either way, based on what he knew about Rize Kamishiro, there was no doubt that her ultimate goal was to eat him.

  "That’s wonderful! But… I don’t even know your name yet," Amane Byakuya said with a look of delight.

  Rize Kamishiro was acting, and so was he.

  Although he had already obtained his Fusion Points and no longer had a real reason to keep engaging with her, it was possible that staying around Rize Kamishiro could trigger more high-level choices—which would mean earning more Fusion Points.

  "My name is Rize Kamishiro. And you?"

  "Amane Byakuya."

  Just like that, Amane Byakuya and Rize Kamishiro became a couple.

  It seemed sudden and messy, but in reality, both of them had their own hidden agendas.
