Summary
“What was your life before joining the Demon Slayer Corps?”
Giyuu wasn’t sure who else spoke up to answer Kanroji’s question before his mind thought back to the life he had lived, and all of the blood spilled for him to reach this far in life. Unfortunately for Giyuu, it wasn’t long before his mind suddenly turned down a dangerous road. It wasn’t unfamiliar for him to think back on his life and wonder what could have gone differently. Though just because it wasn’t unfamiliar territory didn’t mean he enjoyed it.
‘What could have happened differently? What could have been?’
Ah, what dangerous thoughts.

Summary
Like any other organization, the Demon Slayer Corps were no stranger to rumours. To no one's surprise, the kakushi were always the first to know of anything and everything. However, there was one rumour that circulated for a long time, one that every kakushi, new and old, knew. Rumours about a Miracle Selection. Participants who did live past their first few months as demon slayers didn’t rise too high in the ranks. Many performed pretty average and remained in the low to middle ranks. All but one achieved something impressive.
What exactly set him apart?
