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?

Stepping Up To The Plate

The usual bustling energy of Hell's Kitchen had an extra layer of anxiety tonight. With Victor and Lucien out on some mysterious business they wouldn't talk about, the rest of the team had to handle the restaurant by themselves. The gravity of the task hung in the air as Nyssa, Elise, Lyra, and Evelyn prepared for the evening's service.

"Okay, everyone," Nyssa said, trying to sound confident as she addressed the team. "We've got this. We've handled busy nights before, and tonight will be no different."

Elise leaned against the bar, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Just remember, if anything goes wrong, blame it on Victor and Lucien for not being here."

Lyra chuckled, adjusting her apron. "Let's just hope we don't burn the place down. I don't think Victor would appreciate that."

Evelyn, her usual nervousness magnified by the absence of their leaders, nodded vigorously. "We'll be fine. We just need to stay calm and work together."
