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?

The Labyrinth Murders, Part One

Joahna Moriarty sat at her desk, the soft glow of a single lamp casting shadows across the room. Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden surface as she reviewed the details of her latest case. It was unlike any she had encountered before, both in its complexity and its sinister undertones.

The case had started with a simple missing person's report. A young woman named Beatrice Alcott had vanished without a trace from her apartment in the upscale district of New Albion. Her disappearance had sparked concern due to her high-profile status as the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Lord Alcott.

Joahna had been called in when the regular police hit a dead end. The apartment showed no signs of forced entry or struggle, and the security footage from the night of her disappearance revealed nothing unusual. Beatrice had simply walked into her apartment and vanished.
