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?

A New Threat

The morning light streamed through the windows of Hell's Kitchen, casting a warm glow over the bustling restaurant. Victor and the team had just opened for breakfast service, a new idea he had implemented to attract more customers. The aroma of freshly baked bread and sizzling bacon filled the air, and the lively chatter of patrons created a comforting backdrop as the team went about their work.

Victor was in the kitchen, his hands moving deftly as he prepared a batch of omelets. Nyssa was by his side, assisting with her usual efficiency. Despite the early hour, the two worked in perfect harmony, their movements almost a dance as they navigated the busy kitchen.

"Order up!" Nyssa called out, placing a plate of eggs Benedict on the pass.

Victor glanced over and nodded approvingly. "Great work, Nyssa. Keep it up."
