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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANApkkrzQ9Rrp
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zpv9WuMNe
Inside the warehouse, time had seemingly stopped.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAenS6JutDpa
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAnYs304UhvW
"I am the one... the one betrayed by his own gang, left to die for nothing..." he thought to himself.
43Please respect copyright.PENANADtrrZmlIN7
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAkGdXwwadsF
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA5eB59CpiMS
[VOICE: Metallic, Unknown Source] "Welcome back... Agent 313. Your reward is ready."
43Please respect copyright.PENANA4nlUDThx4z
Yuvaan flinched.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA6jrG8ELVB6
“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?”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAefnOE53vpu
In front of him, a digital screen appeared in mid-air. The voice spoke again:
43Please respect copyright.PENANAlhhtlQc63A
"Your first reward: 'Spectra-Mic'—an advanced sonic frequency analyzer, capable of revealing the truth hidden behind any word."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAEQbe1JqM0E
Yuvaan stared at the screen, which displayed a file titled: "CASE: SANGAM - The Doctor Who Never Existed."
43Please respect copyright.PENANA1GTuGR5g3H
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAkERiklakkh
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAQkIEusiQvZ
In the corner of the warehouse lay an old, dusty diary. Yuvaan picked it up.
43Please respect copyright.PENANARNtBhXKKxR
“This could be my father’s... or perhaps, the one who made me what I am now.”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAcOm4kzAhFp
On the first page, the title read: "Project Black Nest - Confidential."
43Please respect copyright.PENANATD7plwbluV
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAvAmWHkSPu8
He found a name written in the diary—Dr. Rehaan Arora.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAsC8PH2IjBi
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?"
43Please respect copyright.PENANAm5Thxy8NdA
The screen activated again.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAGMGEjtHqEs
[VOICE] "You have 72 hours. Find the girl. Her memory holds the map to The Ark."
43Please respect copyright.PENANAB4JV0NY3e4
Yuvaan immediately stood up.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAIcL2Kvc2Th
“Who is this girl? And what is 'The Ark'?”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAULaXDYmsR6
(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)
43Please respect copyright.PENANA2sXuvE7hRM
The CCTV feed in the security room was glitching. A shadowy figure appeared on the screen—tall, cloaked, and faceless.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAxl2QiuVbhI
The guard nervously said, “Sir, there’s something inside. The human readings don’t match.”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAi6gXvvuZxq
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA82o4RbkwTV
Mr. Vaidya spoke coldly, “Agent 313 is back. And this time... his mission is personal.”

Location: Yuvaan meets an Underworld Contact - Vikrant
43Please respect copyright.PENANAz041NR9PGm
Yuvaan walked into a shady underworld contact’s den. The man’s name was Vikrant. Once a black-market hacker, now a fugitive.
43Please respect copyright.PENANA16N69HBJy2
Vikrant nervously spoke, “Yuvaan... but... you were dead!”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAZqNC4OAduC
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.”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAk4av1ZLsvn
Vikrant typed furiously on his computer. The screen blinked, revealing an image. A name appeared.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAb9F3clayrx
“Name: Kiara Fernandes—Former psychiatric patient, missing since 2017.”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwSJ10tvjRw
Yuvaan’s gaze froze.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAbztnfvcAaD
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.”
43Please respect copyright.PENANA6hxwa2Df01
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.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAfvNmfxgkEH
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.”
43Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Q69A0Vn1
Yuvaan (shocked): “Kiara... you know me?”

43Please respect copyright.PENANAalBE6Wv0OM
Once a busy underground station, now only memories and unsolved mysteries remained.
43Please respect copyright.PENANALULDhxKnDm
A shadow moved through the tunnel, holding an ancient device—its signal matching the one from Yuvaan’s chip.
43Please respect copyright.PENANAwc4m4EboJL
The first mystery was just the beginning. Every case was a puzzle, with each piece connected to another source of pain. Yuvaan M
