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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAmVNxuMEsdC
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAazIMtw1nbg
Inside the warehouse, time had seemingly stopped.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAoVUKtiQAdd
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAemjI2m4rMJ
"I am the one... the one betrayed by his own gang, left to die for nothing..." he thought to himself.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA81rqPu7Vau
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANADVQFn2jgNr
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAnSKGSe3jNU
[VOICE: Metallic, Unknown Source] "Welcome back... Agent 313. Your reward is ready."
40Please respect copyright.PENANAb72Al9D0bm
Yuvaan flinched.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAx1y7wUojhU
“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?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAHXellNaQhn
In front of him, a digital screen appeared in mid-air. The voice spoke again:
40Please respect copyright.PENANAfrp73TKCMB
"Your first reward: 'Spectra-Mic'—an advanced sonic frequency analyzer, capable of revealing the truth hidden behind any word."
40Please respect copyright.PENANAZW8dzKAokR
Yuvaan stared at the screen, which displayed a file titled: "CASE: SANGAM - The Doctor Who Never Existed."
40Please respect copyright.PENANA0mE3SLtRMa
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAckUflZB4x6
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAqNCTXZh6ng
In the corner of the warehouse lay an old, dusty diary. Yuvaan picked it up.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXJo8m6f06i
“This could be my father’s... or perhaps, the one who made me what I am now.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANABWfi2sOulQ
On the first page, the title read: "Project Black Nest - Confidential."
40Please respect copyright.PENANASNwP1WVOEz
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA8QpOnOO8JQ
He found a name written in the diary—Dr. Rehaan Arora.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGn9WmikTY0
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?"
40Please respect copyright.PENANAUdrVSESFOJ
The screen activated again.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAo3qF1pw0Lh
[VOICE] "You have 72 hours. Find the girl. Her memory holds the map to The Ark."
40Please respect copyright.PENANAIAkSvHHzUY
Yuvaan immediately stood up.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAZmAX5vIbh1
“Who is this girl? And what is 'The Ark'?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAPoQpcrVA85
(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)
40Please respect copyright.PENANAregGDMBQdO
The CCTV feed in the security room was glitching. A shadowy figure appeared on the screen—tall, cloaked, and faceless.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAHSiWVtVxJ4
The guard nervously said, “Sir, there’s something inside. The human readings don’t match.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAmd8v1vEDGI
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAuoz1v83uaf
Mr. Vaidya spoke coldly, “Agent 313 is back. And this time... his mission is personal.”

Location: Yuvaan meets an Underworld Contact - Vikrant
40Please respect copyright.PENANAz8XkRO1aOR
Yuvaan walked into a shady underworld contact’s den. The man’s name was Vikrant. Once a black-market hacker, now a fugitive.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGr3uzFaNWN
Vikrant nervously spoke, “Yuvaan... but... you were dead!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAEopERAF2ND
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.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Cn9F9gpG
Vikrant typed furiously on his computer. The screen blinked, revealing an image. A name appeared.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAn7jGOIQXnU
“Name: Kiara Fernandes—Former psychiatric patient, missing since 2017.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJYaO4LJGmU
Yuvaan’s gaze froze.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAwRLtvnRgoE
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.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAtbu0M4nySX
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.
40Please respect copyright.PENANABSPBekeDRd
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.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANA7CS36crDJb
Yuvaan (shocked): “Kiara... you know me?”

40Please respect copyright.PENANAF5B2xMgQjx
Once a busy underground station, now only memories and unsolved mysteries remained.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAR5ogPOG5XF
A shadow moved through the tunnel, holding an ancient device—its signal matching the one from Yuvaan’s chip.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA1qRxtjJJgI
The first mystery was just the beginning. Every case was a puzzle, with each piece connected to another source of pain. Yuvaan M
