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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAHXSE0Jvhlb
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUx47gT4iiz
Inside the warehouse, time had seemingly stopped.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAyG3gH5pg1N
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANASTfHjOwSRg
"I am the one... the one betrayed by his own gang, left to die for nothing..." he thought to himself.
21Please respect copyright.PENANATawwm52xQk
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAPrQXkwIKZl
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAv6cbYWJWqh
[VOICE: Metallic, Unknown Source] "Welcome back... Agent 313. Your reward is ready."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAt9U9Bdggts
Yuvaan flinched.
21Please respect copyright.PENANADxQbDblV6U
“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?”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAKNSkAHokx6
In front of him, a digital screen appeared in mid-air. The voice spoke again:
21Please respect copyright.PENANAfbxwjECktO
"Your first reward: 'Spectra-Mic'—an advanced sonic frequency analyzer, capable of revealing the truth hidden behind any word."
21Please respect copyright.PENANANvAwuGEfdt
Yuvaan stared at the screen, which displayed a file titled: "CASE: SANGAM - The Doctor Who Never Existed."
21Please respect copyright.PENANAFzeycJWjCk
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAQJkXWwb0DG
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANABSwQRfQdKR
In the corner of the warehouse lay an old, dusty diary. Yuvaan picked it up.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAHUBqwflq7O
“This could be my father’s... or perhaps, the one who made me what I am now.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAq9a5VsjxIR
On the first page, the title read: "Project Black Nest - Confidential."
21Please respect copyright.PENANA1PuXdpwEV5
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAm2NnWGlWSQ
He found a name written in the diary—Dr. Rehaan Arora.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAUb5gxWz9Qr
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?"
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwyFMsPDdhj
The screen activated again.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAKz1uD0Bxnr
[VOICE] "You have 72 hours. Find the girl. Her memory holds the map to The Ark."
21Please respect copyright.PENANA1YjDPVYd92
Yuvaan immediately stood up.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAh5JFeqxWZq
“Who is this girl? And what is 'The Ark'?”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAoImSAW4Vih
(The Ark... a place mentioned only in one book—Codex Umbra—a manuscript seen only by those marked by death’s shadow.)

21Please respect copyright.PENANAxI6HBCUSWo
The CCTV feed in the security room was glitching. A shadowy figure appeared on the screen—tall, cloaked, and faceless.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA2NQdwENtAo
The guard nervously said, “Sir, there’s something inside. The human readings don’t match.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwNXStxzCZi
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAyHia9BtpU0
Mr. Vaidya spoke coldly, “Agent 313 is back. And this time... his mission is personal.”

Location: Yuvaan meets an Underworld Contact - Vikrant
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwYvM7NMrLS
Yuvaan walked into a shady underworld contact’s den. The man’s name was Vikrant. Once a black-market hacker, now a fugitive.
21Please respect copyright.PENANASRp4ELarOn
Vikrant nervously spoke, “Yuvaan... but... you were dead!”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAO51QZjxNyJ
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.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAzV68SIczWZ
Vikrant typed furiously on his computer. The screen blinked, revealing an image. A name appeared.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAa8E5Jor9Ug
“Name: Kiara Fernandes—Former psychiatric patient, missing since 2017.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAcsieriUEoY
Yuvaan’s gaze froze.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAi4vockq5Xx
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.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAH82D5NGgI7
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANATKf1QEj9sq
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.”
21Please respect copyright.PENANAHZUUlb50LI
Yuvaan (shocked): “Kiara... you know me?”

Once a busy underground station, now only memories and unsolved mysteries remained.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAjDZahEDfvc
A shadow moved through the tunnel, holding an ancient device—its signal matching the one from Yuvaan’s chip.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAoRqqWqzxdA
The first mystery was just the beginning. Every case was a puzzle, with each piece connected to another source of pain. Yuvaan M
