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?

Two Butchers

Lucien teleported back to Hell's Kitchen, clutching Selene's journals tightly. The familiar scents of the restaurant greeted him, a comforting reminder of the place he now called home. As he walked through the door, he could sense the tension in the air. The usually bustling kitchen was quieter, the staff moving with a sense of urgency and unease.

Victor was the first to notice his return. He looked up from a stack of invoices, relief washing over his face. "Lucien, you're back. How was your trip?"

Lucien set the journals down on the counter and took a deep breath. "It was... enlightening. I found Selene's room at the old manor, perfectly preserved. These journals," he gestured to the stack, "they're hers. They detail everything she went through after I left."

The team gathered around, their curiosity piqued. Elise, Nyssa, Evelyn, and Lyra all looked at the journals with a mix of interest and concern.
