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?

Reunion

Lucien stood on the rooftop, the city of New Albion spread out before him like a dark, twinkling sea. The night was quiet, save for the distant hum of the city's nocturnal activities. He knew she would come. He could feel it. The bond between them, strained and twisted by centuries of pain and regret, still remained.

He waited, his thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. He hadn't seen Selene in so long, and now she was back, alive, and very much changed. The memories of their childhood, their bond, and the night he thought he had lost her forever haunted him.

A soft rustle behind him broke his reverie. He turned slowly, and there she was. Selene. Her eyes, once so familiar, now held a cold, steely glint. Her presence was both a comfort and a torment.

"Lucien," she said, her voice low and filled with a mix of anger and sadness.

"Selene," he replied, his own voice barely more than a whisper. "I knew you'd come."
