King Bileygr

King Bileygr (王のビレイグ, Ō no Bireigu) is the tenth and final work of Sen Takatsuki.

Summary
The story is a Heroic Epic, and centers around an One-Eyed Ghoul simply known as "Nameless". He is a noble protagonist, and leads a rebellion to free ghouls from the oppression they have suffered. The villains of the story are a corrupt human organization, secretly cooperating with ghouls to control the world.

Publication
The contents of the novel are highly-controversial, and required that Shunji Shiono keep the details under wraps until the last possible moment. Eto held a press conference to announce the details of her novel, also revealing herself to be a Ghoul in the process. Once information had been released to the press, and wide distribution already arranged, the Commission of Counter Ghoul was helpless to prevent the novel from reaching the public.

Shiono would later be killed for his part in publishing the work.

Societal Influence
The novel has triggered widespread chaos, with the public alternately condemning or celebrating the work. The sympathetic viewpoint and glimpse into the oppression suffered by ghouls has resulted in the formation of Ghouls' Rights Organizations. The CCG has suffered considerable public criticism, with their hotlines overwhelmed with calls from the public and protests being held outside their headquarters. The contents of the novel have even caused unrest among the employees of the CCG.

The novel has also caused a stir within the ghoul community, with many reading it. It is speculated by Ayato Kirishima that the novel is intended to inspire hope, and cause ghouls to long for the appearance of the One-Eyed King to make the rebellion reality.
