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?

Truth or Thrall

The morning light streamed through the windows of Hell's Kitchen, casting a warm glow on the gathered staff. Victor had called an urgent meeting, and everyone was present, including Evelyn, who still looked slightly dazed from her recent ordeal.

Victor began, his voice calm but firm. "Before we get to the main reason I called you all here, there's something we need to address. Evelyn, it's time you learned the truth about this place and us."

Evelyn's eyes widened with curiosity and a hint of apprehension. Lucien stepped forward, his expression gentle but serious. "Evelyn, you were a thief who ran with us back in the day. We all decided to retire and open this restaurant together."

Nyssa and Lyra, standing side by side, nodded in agreement. "We were part of the same crew," Lyra added. "Assassins, not just thieves. We wanted a new life, a quieter one."

Evelyn looked at each of them, her mind racing. "I... I don't remember any of this."
