Page 1: The Fall of a Father – The Beginning of a Tragedy Year 2006, in a forgotten neighborhood in Houston, Texas, Liam — a man with a burnt face — lives in absolute poverty with his three young sons. His face is full of old scars and burns; a victim of betrayal, poverty, and a society that has cast him out. Not long ago, Liam was a hardworking man. His wife, Grace, and their three sons lived a simple life. But neglect, exhaustion, and a lack of affection led Grace to seek comfort in their neighbor, Caleb. On a bitter day, Liam witnesses his wife's betrayal. In a bloody confrontation, Caleb throws a pot of boiling oil on Liam’s face. Burning in pain, Liam stabs Caleb to death in a fit of rage. Grace remains in the house. Liam leaves the gas open and sets the house on fire. He takes his sons out and flees. They move to a dark, abandoned house. They sleep cold at night. Liam scavenges food from restaurant dumpsters. Society sees him as a monster. Jobs say “no.” People fear his face. The only sound in their new home is the dripping water from the ceiling — the sound of life. --- Page 2: The Spark of Madness – Death Videos One night, as Liam scrolls through his phone looking for work, he stumbles upon a video: a real murder in a metro station. Millions of views. Thousands of comments. Some shocked, some thrilled, some asking for “the full link.” Terrified and curious, Liam enters the dark web. One sentence echoes in his mind: "If people pay to see death, maybe this is how we survive." Through anonymous forums, he learns how to film murder, hide identity, and upload videos to secret platforms. He commits his first murder with trembling hands — and the video goes viral. Comments pour in: “Was it real?”, “That was amazing!”, “When’s the next one?” In the heart of darkness, Liam shines — he is seen, even if through blood. But his children sense the change. Aaron, Ivan, and Leo sit in utter silence, watching a father who is no longer a father — but a director of death. --- Page 3: Officer Malik – Hunter of Truth Elsewhere in the city, a sharp and young police officer, Malik, is faced with mysterious murders. The footage is all professional — but raw and unedited. Malik says: “It’s real. I hear honesty in the killer’s breath.” Using background noises, lighting, and the killer's hand movements, Malik traces the approximate location. He finds Liam’s house — but Liam is gone. Only three hungry children remain. Their eyes are full of fear and dark memories. Malik cannot arrest them. He cannot tell them their father is a killer. He just looks and whispers, “God… this story has just begun...” Days later, during a chase through the woods, Malik shoots. His target is Liam’s leg, but as Liam trips over a tree root, the bullet hits his head. Liam dies. Malik is dismissed from duty. --- Page 4: Silence After Death – Boys in the Dark After Liam’s death, his three children are sent to child protection centers. But the memories of murder, nights of hunger, and the image of a father who killed to survive are engraved in their minds. No one knows what’s inside them. Ivan and Leo are adopted by a cold and controlling family. Aaron is slightly luckier. Inside the three brothers, something quietly boils — a mix of blood memories, hidden wounds, and a twisted sense of justice. They never forget how people enjoyed watching their father’s killings. Time passes. 17 years. --- Page 5: Return of the Shadows – The Brothers Reunite Now grown, the three brothers are reunited. Ivan – cold and a network expert. Leo – aggressive and hot-tempered. Aaron – a doctor, calculating and calm. They launch a secret site on the dark web. Only select users with metal-coded keys can access it. 100 photos of real people are uploaded. Users place crypto bets on who dies. The photo with the highest vote becomes the next target. The hunt begins. Live streaming. Pain. Screams. And someone, who bet on that number — wins big money. --- Page 6: Architecture of Horror – The Skull House System The site is dark and cold in design. The control room is equipped with monitors, masks, and a security system. Wealthy, ruthless users chat live, suggesting how the victim should die. The victims are ordinary people. Ivan handles tracking. Leo executes the physical acts. Aaron manages everything — control, tech, broadcast. Payments are made via crypto wallets. Winners profit. Losers… lose money. --- Page 7: Breaking the Silence – The Hunt for Nala Nala, Malik’s daughter, now a vibrant young woman, unknowingly has her photo uploaded to the site. She receives the highest vote. While swimming by a lake, she disappears. Malik, now in Afghanistan, hears the news. He whispers: “I’m coming… and I’ll end this all.” --- Page 8: Malik Returns – Infiltrating the Shadow Den Malik returns to the U.S. With a false identity, he infiltrates the “Shadow Den” — the headquarters of the site. He stays a month inside enemy lines, collecting data silently, precisely. In one of the systems, he finds Nala’s photo in the death list — a video of her in the preparation phase. His rage erupts, burning inside him. But his decision is clear: destroy them. Malik is no longer just a cop — he was once a special forces operative in Bagram. --- Page 9: Explosion of Revenge – The Fight with Leo Malik begins silently eliminating key members. Then, he deliberately surrenders to be taken to the main chamber. There, ten top figures behind the project sit together. While tied to a torture chair, Malik sees Aaron — the mastermind — laughing. Malik whispers, “So it was you all along…” Aaron was Malik’s family doctor — he recognizes him. Aaron lets go and walks away, leaving Malik with Leo. A brutal fight ensues — Malik defeats Leo. Then, one by one, Malik hunts down the other key figures — killing them in the exact same torturous methods they used. The executions are broadcast live. Aaron escapes. --- Page 10: The House of Skulls – A Bloody End Malik finds the final hiding place of Aaron and Ivan — a horrifying structure made of bones and skulls: The House of Skulls. Halls, walls, doors — all built from human remains. A large hall, its ceiling, floor, and walls made of human skulls. In the final battle, Ivan is killed. Aaron — intelligent but cowardly — tries to flee but fails. Malik kills him too. The House of Skulls burns. The dark world built by Liam’s sons comes to a fiery end.
