A crossover journey of the female ghost swordswoman from the heart.

① From the heart in Ghouls

Prologue: The Female Ghost Swordsman from the Heart

"That person is terrifying, they even have eyes that look like a ghoul..."

"Don't shout so loudly, she's very scary!"

"Stay away from her."

"I really don't know what the CCG was thinking. They should have arrested her a long time ago. Even if she's not a ghoul, she might be some other cannibalistic monster."

The whispers, which she thought were discreet, made Huang Quan sigh inwardly. She'd finally found a quiet place to read, but it seemed she'd have to give it up again because of her appearance. However, it was much better than when she first arrived in the ghoul world; at least there wasn't a librarian kicking her out because of unpaid wages.

The woman being quietly observed and discussed by people is undoubtedly a beauty.

Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back, and her slightly parted bangs, combined with her beautiful face, created the illusion of someone older than her actual age. Her tall and slender figure was perfectly accentuated by the black bodycon jumpsuit, while the white stockings contrasted sharply with the predominantly black upper body.

In short, such a beautiful woman walking down a bustling street would certainly attract the attention of the vast majority of people.

But the strangest thing was her eyes.

With a pair of scarlet, vibrant eyes, Huang Quan's position in this world where ghouls roam and hunt for food is subtly ambiguous.

Because of these scarlet eyes, there was a time when people mistakenly thought Yomi was a ghoul, causing widespread panic and even prompting an emergency response from CCG investigators, only to find out that Yomi was human – a truly ridiculous situation. Since then, Yomi has worn sunglasses to conceal her eyes unless absolutely necessary.

"Return the books."

Pushing the book, whose cover bore the words "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," to the front desk, Huang Quan's polite yet somewhat aloof attitude inexplicably made the receptionist feel a heavy pressure.

Kaneki Ken, who was in charge of reception at the library, was always involuntarily drawn to Yomi. This was partly because she always liked to borrow obscure books, but more so because of Yomi's less-than-stellar reputation. Although Kaneki Ken wanted to find an opportunity to comfort Yomi, who was ostracized by everyone, whenever he saw her calm and clear crimson eyes, he would be moved by the strength of her spirit and lose the courage to speak.

"Please hurry." Huang Quan's calm and clear eyes trembled slightly. She looked at Kaneki, who was somewhat distracted, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. In the relatively quiet library, the sudden tapping sound immediately brought Kaneki back to his attention!

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

Startled, Kaneki raised his voice and quickly apologized, speeding up his movements. Only after being brought back to his senses by Yomi's cold voice did Kaneki hurriedly realize that the books she had borrowed this time were even more absurd and outrageous than before.

"It's troublesome."

After returning the books, Huang Quan habitually put on his sunglasses, grabbed his sword pouch, and turned to leave. Watching Huang Quan's ever-aloof back, Kaneki suddenly saw a resemblance between Huang Quan and a familiar figure. Both endured this unfair world, and both were essentially gentle people.

"Wait, Senior Huang Quan...!"

"Ok?"

"Um, please take care of yourself! Books like the ones we just returned are a bit too heavy for an ordinary person's mind." Kaneki tried his best to make his expression not look too scared, but for some reason, after Yomi turned around, he felt an indescribable sharpness piercing him!

It felt like a steel needle was pressed against your throat, giving you an urgent urge to back away and escape.

Huang Quan was visibly surprised. She had never deliberately greeted Kaneki Ken before, and even knowing he was the protagonist of the ghoul world, she hadn't had any particular thoughts about him. It was entirely reasonable, yet unexpected, that Kaneki, whom she had met a few times, would care about someone as ostracized and isolated as her.

"Kaneki-kun is such a kind person." Something seemed to change in Yomi's scarlet eyes behind her sunglasses, and her tone, which sounded like a sigh, puzzled Kaneki. "Kindness is certainly a good thing, but if something happens that makes you regret it because of your kindness, you must learn to distinguish and make the right choices."

Perhaps not expecting that Yomi-senpai would say so much to him, Kaneki Ken stared blankly at Yomi's departing figure for a long time.

In the original storyline of the ghoul world, Kaneki Ken suffered so much hardship in the early stages precisely because of this gentleness. To be fair, Yomi didn't have any particular feelings of liking or disliking Kaneki Ken; her words were merely a return for Kaneki Ken's kind intentions, hoping that he could maintain this gentleness in his heart later on.

As for turning the tide of the plot and averting a tragedy...

just forget it.

Having been inexplicably thrown into a ghoul world by the system, a world that is far from friendly to ordinary people, Huang Quan himself is still unsure whether he has the power to save his life when facing terrifying ghouls that feed on humans.

The name 'Female Ghost Swordsman Training System' is very simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. It didn't require Huang Quan to apply, and of course, he couldn't refuse, so it possessed her body.

Oh, it should have been him, not her.

This damned 'Female Ghost Swordsman Training System'—why isn't it supposed to include the word 'female'? To meet the system's requirements, Huang Quan's body was forcibly transformed from a skinny, nerdy guy into the female ghost swordsman from the game "Dungeon Fighter Online." After transmigrating, the system coldly told him to wait for a mission to begin, and then a whole month passed.

Name: Huang Quan

Gender: Female

Age: 17 years old

Race: human

Class: Female Ghost Swordsman

Title: None

Skills: [Basic Swordsmanship] LV3, [Meditation] LVMAX, [Parry] LV2

Overall assessment: You are currently at the bottom of the food chain, perhaps slightly better off than other planktonic organisms.

These are Huang Quan's training results over the past month. In any game, this level of skill would be considered weak, and the system hasn't provided her with any direct assistance so far. As for the four advanced classes for the female ghost swordsman, they are still a long way off; it's unclear when they will be available.

The reason is something that even Huang Quan can guess.

It's probably because she always stayed in a safe place and was passive. Before she transmigrated, she was just an ordinary otaku. It's a bit too exaggerated that she could become calm and collected and fight to the death with others after transmigrating.

She would be happy to continue living like this, following her heart.

but……

Staring at the system panel, which hadn't changed much in the past month, in the dimly lit room, Huang Quan instinctively sensed an indescribable feeling quietly spreading through her heart. Perhaps this peaceful and contented life wouldn't be long before it was violently shattered, and when that happened, she would only have the sword in her hand to rely on.

P.S.: I'm a new author, please be kind and supportive!

Chapter One: Parrying

In the spacious and brightly lit dojo, a figure wielding a training wooden sword cautiously approached the target while dodging and weaving. Many members of the kendo club sat around, intently watching the match.

The member on the defensive was not carrying a training wooden sword, but a paintball gun.

Facing the cautious attacker, the defender didn't rush to pull the trigger. He calmly adjusted his gun, waiting for the attacker to close the distance further. Soon, the distance between them was reduced to about two meters, a distance that a skilled member of the kendo club could close in the blink of an eye!

The kendo club members watching the fight couldn't help but clench their fists.

The outcome could be decided in the blink of an eye!

Did the attacker manage to dodge and shoot down the paintball gun in the defender's hand? Or was it a sudden shot from the defender at such close range that caused the attacker to fail?

The attacker, who had been moving slowly, suddenly lunged forward without anyone noticing! A black shadow flashed by from the side! The defender, who was only a fraction of a second slower, immediately turned his gun to the left. Judging from the sharp whistling sound in the air, the speed at which the trigger was pulled was definitely faster than the speed at which the wooden sword was struck!

boom!Boom!

Snapped! !

The moment the gunshot rang out, all the kendo club members who witnessed what had happened in the dojo gasped in disbelief.

Huang Quan patted his right shoulder, where a glaring red, diffused paint stain remained on his black training uniform. Two more similar stains were found on his wooden training sword, while the paintball gun the defender had been gripping was now far away, landing with a clearly visible dent in its barrel.

"That's amazing!"

"The burst speed is so fast that it's impossible to see it. As expected of Senior Sister Huang Quan!"

"This is probably the best result so far."

Removing her protective mask and tossing her smooth silver hair, Huang Quan went to rest in a quiet corner as usual. Her body, sore from the intense exercise, slowly recovered, and the surrounding exclamations and discussions gradually quieted down as the members dispersed.

Using other club members to shoot paintballs, Huang Quan trains his dodging and blocking abilities—this is his current training method. What others see as arrogant behavior has earned him everyone's approval as Huang Quan has managed to approach his defenders at a terrifying distance of nearly two meters unscathed over the past month.

Parry LV2

One of the three female ghost sword skills that Huang Quan currently possesses is the skill that allows her to do something as exaggerated as blocking paint bullets with her sword at close range.

"Within two meters, I could only block two out of three shots. If they were real guns, the outcome would be the same as not blocking them at all."

If they were facing ghouls, the outcome would be even more dire.

Relying on [Meditation] to enhance combat awareness, using [Basic Swordsmanship] for offense, and choosing [Parry] for defense and counterattacks—this is the combat style that the female ghost swordsman, Huang Quan, has currently arranged for herself. However, this female ghost swordsman combat system has not yet been truly utilized, so Huang Quan is unsure of what level of ghoul she can deal with.

Based on the original storyline, it seems they can barely handle C-rank ghouls.

If it's above rank C, unless she has already completed the female swordsman job advancement, Huang Quan will absolutely not provoke those ghouls who can skillfully use kagune in battle! It's not just the hopeless difference in physical strength, but more importantly, without other powers to enhance their weapons, they simply cannot break through the ghoul's physical defenses!

'Continue training.'

After a short rest, Huang Quan began her daily physical training routine: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, a 10-kilometer run, plus essential hair care.

Huang Quan tried her best... As an ordinary person, she had already worked very hard to prepare in order to survive. But no matter how hard she tried, she would still instinctively feel fear, just like a student before an exam, who couldn't help but feel uneasy no matter how well prepared she was.

Immerse myself fully in physical training, temporarily forgetting what the unknown future holds.

until……

"It's quite unexpected that a CCG investigator would make a special trip to visit me." Compared to the ghoul investigators, Huang Quan originally thought that she would be drawn into the vortex of the plot by suddenly encountering ghouls.

Inside a campus café at Shangjing University.

Sitting opposite Yomi was a ghoul investigator in a dark gray suit, his face serious. This was the investigator who had been sent to handle the situation after Yomi caused the ghoul rumors. Interestingly, he was none other than Amon Kotaro, a man with a significant role in the ghoul world and a fondness for sweets.

"I apologize for disturbing you, but since this matter involves Miss Yomi, I have no choice but to come and inform you." Amon Kotaro's unsmiling expression appeared very rigid and serious.

"I?"

Hearing this, Huang Quan, who was holding a cup of red tea, was taken aback. She remembered that the Tokyo Ghoul storyline shouldn't have officially started yet. Kaneki Ken was still studying at Kamii University, and the storyline was probably still in the period when Rize Kamishiro of the "Big Ghoul" moved from the 11th ward to the 20th ward. There shouldn't be anything that could involve her living a life she wanted.

With Amon Kotaro's explanation, Yomi gradually understood why the ghouls had noticed her. Previously, her scarlet eyes had caused a great commotion; not only had the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau taken notice of her, but the ghouls themselves were also curious about her.

Then rumors started circulating.
