My Name Is Ken Kaneki

"Ken Kaneki~ Wake up..."

"Ugh, who is it? So noisy... Where is this?" Ken Kaneki on the bed felt as if he had slept for a very long time, his mind a complete mess. With great difficulty, he opened his eyes, only to be so blinded by the fluorescent lights overhead that tears almost streamed out. He couldn't help but reach up to shield his eyes from the harsh light. After a while, he began to survey his surroundings.

Ken Kaneki, yes, that Ken Kaneki, but not the Ken Kaneki you're thinking of. Before Tokyo Ghoul came out, he was just an ordinary junior high school student living a normal life. It wasn't until that healing and heartwarming anime was released that his world came crashing down.

He finally managed to wait until the anime's popularity faded, and he had already grown into a college student skilled in singing, dancing, and rapping... A college student. On this day, on his way to skip class and go shopping with his goddess, he was luckily chosen to be one of the transmigrators—or in other words, he struck it rich, in every sense of the word.

When he opened his eyes again and woke up, everything around him felt very unfamiliar.

"Hello, is anyone there? (Japanese language)..." Before he could finish speaking, Ken Kaneki covered his mouth, his pupils dilated in shock.

"This isn't right. I was a good youth from China, so how did I end up in such an unlucky place? And why am I speaking Japanese? And I'm lying in a hospital bed! This name shouldn't be lying in a hospital bed! I'm not going to have a kind math teacher behind me teaching me what 1000 - 7 is, am I??" Ken Kaneki felt like his world had collapsed even earlier, and the devilish song of washing kelp had already begun to ring in his ears.

"Ah, you're awake!" A girl with pink hair walked into the hospital room. She seemed to recognize him, and beside her, a dark-skinned guy was looking at him with a displeased expression.

"Hello, who are you?" Ken Kaneki felt that the two people in front of him looked a bit familiar, but he couldn't recall them for a moment.

"Hello, Ken Kaneki-kun, I'm a first-year student at Teiko Junior High School, my name is Satsuki Momoi." The pink-haired girl introduced herself enthusiastically, then pulled the dark-skinned boy next to her and said, "This is my friend, Daiki Aomine."

"Satsuki Momoi... Daiki Aomine... Teiko Junior High School..." Hearing the names that sounded so familiar, Ken Kaneki fell into thought.

"What's wrong, Ken Kaneki-kun, do you know me?" Seeing Ken Kaneki's reaction, Satsuki Momoi asked curiously.

"Ah, no, I just feel a bit familiar. I don't remember where I heard this name before," Ken Kaneki replied truthfully.

"Ah, you haven't lost your memory, have you?" Satsuki Momoi looked at Ken Kaneki with some worry, then turned to Daiki Aomine with a scolding look and said, "It's all your fault, A-Dai, you made Ken Kaneki-kun lose his memory!"

Suddenly feeling the weight on his back, Daiki Aomine realized he couldn't bear such a heavy burden and quickly retorted, "You're slandering me, you're slandering me! I just accidentally grazed him when I was giving you a ride home on my bike. By rights, you shouldn't have fainted!"

"It's okay, Momoi-san, I just woke up and I'm feeling a bit unwell," Ken Kaneki quickly explained, seeing that Daiki Aomine was on the verge of tears from being wronged.

"Hmph~" Satsuki Momoi let out a long sigh and said, "In that case, I won't disturb your rest. My contact information is in the bedside table drawer. If you need any help, feel free to contact me!" With that, she pulled Daiki Aomine and turned to leave.

"Daiki Aomine, Satsuki Momoi, Teiko Junior High School..." After processing the vast information in his mind for a while, Ken Kaneki finally remembered who these two were, "Holy crap, Kill... Pah, Kuroko's Basketball!"

"That's a relief, thank goodness I don't have to study math anymore." Ken Kaneki was overjoyed as if he had escaped death. The last time Ken Kaneki was this excited was, well, the last time.

"Ah, it's good to be alive. Although I've gone from being a rabbit from China to a Japanese chicken, it's better to live poorly than to die well." Ken Kaneki thanked the heavens for his blessings in his heart. He was lucky enough to wake up again, truly lucky... so fortunate.

As for why he didn't play basketball after arriving in a basketball anime world? Come on, the previous Ken Kaneki was a shut-in. Playing basketball was just a hobby for physical fitness. The current Ken Kaneki's body seemed to be just that, otherwise, he wouldn't have fainted from being grazed by a bicycle. Play ball? What's the point of playing ball? How could he compete with those basketball fanatics? Especially that purple-haired natural airhead, getting hit by him would be no different than hitting the jackpot for my body...

"Ah, it's good to be alive. Anyway, I don't expect to have a System or any fortuitous encounters like other transmigrators. That's unscientific. Study hard, work hard, and if I can't make money, I'll just slack off. That might not be a bad thing either." Ken Kaneki lay spread-eagled on the hospital bed, trying to comfort himself.

But as he comforted himself, Ken Kaneki felt unbalanced: "Scientific, I was scientific before I transmigrated, and I still want to be scientific after transmigrating? Then I transmigrated for nothing? Why don't I have a cheat? I want a cheat!"

"Screech... Screech screech..." Just as Ken Kaneki's resentment was about to sustain an evil sword immortal, intermittent electrical sounds echoed in his ears. This startled Ken Kaneki, and he quickly checked the nearby outlets and appliances, but found no problems.

"Screech screech... crackle..." Just as Ken Kaneki thought he was hallucinating, the inexplicable electrical sounds grew louder, so loud that Ken Kaneki almost started singing a nocturne.

As the electrical sounds gradually became smoother, a clear electronic voice sounded in Ken Kaneki's mind: "Screech screech... System loading complete, timeline scan complete, human dataization complete."

"!" Ken Kaneki was astonished, "Did I awaken the ability to make my words come true? I said 'System' and it actually gave me a System?"

"And I want a million dollars!" Ken Kaneki spoke again, making a wish. This was hilarious. If his words could come true, who would want a System? But it was clear that Ken Kaneki, who was praying to the gods, received no response.

"Okay, if I don't get it, I don't get it. At least I got a System, so it's not a loss." Ken Kaneki's neck was sore from waiting, and he finally gave up the idea of treating himself as a Xuanwu in a wishing well. He turned to try and establish communication with the System in his mind.

"System friend?" Ken Kaneki called out cautiously, afraid that it was all a dream.

"I'm here." The System's clear voice sounded in his mind.

"Hand it over!" Ken Kaneki shamelessly extended his claws, "What's in the System's gift package? I want as much as there is."

The System in his mind fell silent for a long time, as if speechless at Ken Kaneki's shamelessness.
