The streets of Mumbai were eerily quiet. The night hung thick with mystery, as if every corner hid a secret waiting to be uncovered. The streetlights flickered, their light dimming as though fatigued from years of illuminating the city’s dark corners. In the middle of it all, a narrow alley lay ahead.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7bD7aGHZfc
In that alley stood a warehouse... its doors rusted with time. Whenever the wind passed, the doors creaked as if mourning a forgotten tale from the past.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqxBzgwO8w6
Inside the warehouse, time had seemingly stopped.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkB1mFEus4V
Yuvaan Mehra, dressed in a long black trench coat, sat hunched on a broken stool. Darkness had settled in his eyes, the remnants of a truth he had uncovered just hours ago. Sweat covered his face, but it wasn’t the sweat from heat—it was the sweat from the dark reality that had just infiltrated his mind.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAjRVem5uGsL
"I am the one... the one betrayed by his own gang, left to die for nothing..." he thought to himself.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAqCkZ2ztQPa
His hand moved to his chest, the place where he had first found it—the symbol, a small chip. An invisible device. The chip contained a voice recorder and an encrypted location tracker. This was where it all began.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7eymKlqQmB
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAD2P95NLKjd
[VOICE: Metallic, Unknown Source] "Welcome back... Agent 313. Your reward is ready."
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3tScGJE4b9
Yuvaan flinched.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAt4gBrew1T4
“This voice... I’ve never heard it before. But why did it call me ‘Agent’? I was just a regular middle-class guy... but what have I become now?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAF7aXlFbtw2
In front of him, a digital screen appeared in mid-air. The voice spoke again:
22Please respect copyright.PENANA52MhCbf4Rk
"Your first reward: 'Spectra-Mic'—an advanced sonic frequency analyzer, capable of revealing the truth hidden behind any word."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXsto7CjgQg
Yuvaan stared at the screen, which displayed a file titled: "CASE: SANGAM - The Doctor Who Never Existed."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAeh6J3ihTLE
There were secrets hidden in the shadows of this city that had never seen the light. Some secrets were not secrets at all—they were maps to another world.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAppMoZLNLD1
This is the story of a boy... believed to be dead. But he wasn’t dead—he had been reborn. In a form that only death could recognize. Yuvaan Mehra... was no longer just a name, he was becoming a legend.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rc4FaqNiK
In the corner of the warehouse lay an old, dusty diary. Yuvaan picked it up.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7cFtX04tMT
“This could be my father’s... or perhaps, the one who made me what I am now.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAmyDljM9QUD
On the first page, the title read: "Project Black Nest - Confidential."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAb5PdFwBDOV
As he turned the pages, a small photo slipped out. A little girl, smiling innocently, but her eyes held the same pain that had taken root in his soul.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALMkogWLiYR
He found a name written in the diary—Dr. Rehaan Arora.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAzQCwjrbrvI
Yuvaan thought, "This name... I’ve heard it before. In a place where the line between life and death was blurred. Was this doctor the one who brought me back to life? Or did he kill me and turn me into something else?"
22Please respect copyright.PENANANIYjDBTvHy
The screen activated again.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7iCuHgcwhy
[VOICE] "You have 72 hours. Find the girl. Her memory holds the map to The Ark."
22Please respect copyright.PENANAAQaQ3Cd9TU
Yuvaan immediately stood up.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAan0l4hNPjS
“Who is this girl? And what is 'The Ark'?”
22Please respect copyright.PENANACmaIge2mb2
(The Ark... a place mentioned only in one book—Codex Umbra—a manuscript seen only by those marked by death’s shadow.)

Location: Kalina Medical Institute (Where every case begins with a glimpse of truth)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAyzJgu16Mpx
The CCTV feed in the security room was glitching. A shadowy figure appeared on the screen—tall, cloaked, and faceless.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfZiJcfmsGZ
The guard nervously said, “Sir, there’s something inside. The human readings don’t match.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAY9aScMek4c
In the control room sat Mr. Vaidya, a research analyst who once worked for RAW. His eyes reflected a pain as though he had burned his own family alive with his own hands.
22Please respect copyright.PENANANvjMA8r3T3
Mr. Vaidya spoke coldly, “Agent 313 is back. And this time... his mission is personal.”

Location: Yuvaan meets an Underworld Contact - Vikrant
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7ndA6htuFE
Yuvaan walked into a shady underworld contact’s den. The man’s name was Vikrant. Once a black-market hacker, now a fugitive.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAO3XvgDTw1M
Vikrant nervously spoke, “Yuvaan... but... you were dead!”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkOtFf5Qty3
Yuvaan, in a cold tone: “Dying is easy, Vikrant. Coming back is the hard part. I need a girl—don’t know her name, but she has a tattoo on her hand. A butterfly.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANALKEWgyjzMr
Vikrant typed furiously on his computer. The screen blinked, revealing an image. A name appeared.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAu7TycAaqS9
“Name: Kiara Fernandes—Former psychiatric patient, missing since 2017.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAM7z7YdokqN
Yuvaan’s gaze froze.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAL7nuy1HAFP
Yuvaan (thinking to himself): “This is her. But she’s not just missing... her existence seems to have vanished. It’s as if she was never real.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANA6TO2gYblH1
And thus began the journey—where memories became weapons and every face was just another mask.

In the warehouse, the lights flickered. The chip activated. A hologram appeared. It was Kiara, standing in the middle of a jungle. Her eyes didn’t hold tears, but fear.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA5vswfgw8Cj
Kiara (hologram): “If you’re seeing this, Yuvaan... it means you’re back. But remember... the one you’re searching for is closer to you than you realize.”
22Please respect copyright.PENANAURv8OXx5Ch
Yuvaan (shocked): “Kiara... you know me?”

22Please respect copyright.PENANAfMsreBnNs6
Once a busy underground station, now only memories and unsolved mysteries remained.
22Please respect copyright.PENANASRt7ica6ly
A shadow moved through the tunnel, holding an ancient device—its signal matching the one from Yuvaan’s chip.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnewScUVCbC
The first mystery was just the beginning. Every case was a puzzle, with each piece connected to another source of pain. Yuvaan M
