Hell's Kitchen

Meet Chef Victor Delacroix, a culinary genius with a chilling secret! By night, he was known as "The Butcher", a ruthless serial killer and assassin wielding a blood-stained meat cleaver. His grotesque talent? He gains the abilities and attributes of whatever – or whomever – he eats. This macabre skill set made him one of the most feared figures in the criminal underworld. Fed up with his gruesome life of crime, Victor decides to vanish from the radar and start fresh. He moves to the capital and opens an exclusive restaurant called "Hell's Kitchen." His dishes are unparalleled, attracting an elite clientele: the wealthy, the corrupt, and the morally bankrupt, each harboring their own dark tastes... In Hell's Kitchen, every dish tells a story, and every meal is an experience - often literally a slice of life. Yet, his patrons are blissfully unaware of Victor’s true identity as The Butcher, concealed behind the charming facade of a master chef. As Victor tries to carve out a new existence, the ghosts of his past start to close in. Sinister patrons with dangerous appetites, old enemies seeking revenge, and the lure of his own monstrous cravings threaten to drag him back into the abyss. The line between his dual lives blurs, and each night becomes a battle to keep his sinister nature at bay. "Hell's Kitchen" is a twisted tale of redemption and temptation, where humanity and monstrosity collide. In a world where darkness is served on a silver platter, can Victor ever truly escape his blood-soaked past, or will the shadows consume him once again?

Liam's Last Mistake

Liam had picked the perfect place for an ambush. The warehouse was nestled in a maze of alleys, making a quick escape nearly impossible. He had assassins and Harold conveniently placed on the upper floor, and Geoffrey, his butler who used to be a powerful knight, standing by his side.

Elise walked in, appearing comfortable and flirtatious. Her every movement exuded confidence, masking the tension she felt. They began discussing their plan, with Liam subtly maneuvering into position. However, on impulse, he decided to use Appraisal on her to make sure everything was as it seemed.

His eyes widened in horror as the skill revealed that Elise had the Fine Dining ability and her status as a thrall. "What did you do?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Elise smiled, a cold, predatory smile. "I guess it's time to drop the pretenses." She transformed into her succubus form, her wings unfurling as she lunged at Liam.
