"1. From Silence to Roar"

"Mujhe isiliye banaya us bhagwaan ne
Kyuki vo dekhna chahte the,
Ki insaan kis hadd tak
dard seh sakta hai"

In a dense, secluded forest, the scene was set with an air of mystery and tension. The towering trees created a natural canopy, allowing only slivers of sunlight to penetrate through, casting an eerie light across the ground. The silence of the forest was broken by the presence of about 15-20 sleek, black cars parked in a tight formation, their polished surfaces gleaming dully in the dim light. Surrounding these vehicles were 25-30 men, each dressed in identical black attire—a uniform that consisted of black t-shirts, pants, and matching sunglasses, which hid their eyes and added to their intimidating appearance. These men stood in formation, creating a perimeter around a small, solitary one-room house made of old bricks. The house, though simple in structure, had an air of importance, as if it held a secret worth guarding.

The men stood with a disciplined posture, their hands behind their backs, but a closer look revealed the cold, metallic glint of firearms clutched in their grips. Each man wore a Bluetooth earpiece, suggesting they were in constant communication, possibly receiving and giving orders. Among them, five stood out—they were armed with large, powerful guns, their fingers casually resting near the triggers, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. Amidst this highly charged atmosphere, one man clearly held a position of authority. He was dressed similarly to the others, but with the addition of a black blazer over his t-shirt, giving him a more commanding presence.  He was clearly the leader, the one in charge of the entire operation. The leader approached the small brick house, his steps echoing slightly in the otherwise silent environment. He paused briefly at the door, scanning the area with a sharp gaze, ensuring everything was in place. Satisfied, he pushed open the creaking wooden door and entered the house.

Inside, the house was stark and bare, devoid of any furniture or decoration. The walls, made of rough brick, seemed to close in, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. The only sound was the soft crunch of the leader's shoes on the dusty floor as he walked towards a corner of the room. In the corner, partially hidden by a faded curtain, was a small, inconspicuous button. Without hesitation, the leader reached out and pressed it.

As the leader pressed the hidden button, the atmosphere within the small, barren house shifted. A soft, mechanical hum resonated through the room, and then, right in the center of the floor, the tiles began to shift. With a smooth, almost silent motion, they slid apart, revealing a set of stairs leading downward. The entrance to this hidden passage was stark against the otherwise ordinary surroundings, hinting at the secrets concealed below. The man in charge descended the stairs, each step echoing slightly in the confined space. The further he went, the cooler and more humid the air became, a stark contrast to the dry, dusty room above.

The staircase spiraled downward, seemingly endless, until finally, he emerged into an underground world that contrasted sharply with the modest structure above. The area he entered was vast, like a hidden valley beneath the earth. The ceiling loomed high overhead, supported by large, rugged pillars that seemed to have been carved out of the very rock that surrounded them. The floor was smooth, with a polished finish that reflected the dim, artificial lights embedded into the walls.  The leader walked forward, his footsteps echoing slightly in the expansive space. The passageway he found himself in was lined with doors—dozens of them, stretching far into the distance. Each door was solid, made of reinforced metal, with no markings or indications of what lay behind them. The uniformity of the doors added to the mystery, making it impossible to guess what secrets each room held.

The leader hesitated for a moment before reaching out to open the heavy, reinforced door. As the door swung open, he was immediately assaulted by the pungent, metallic stench of blood. The smell was overwhelming, thick in the air, mingling with the musty scent of the underground chamber. Instinctively, he raised his hand to cover his nose, his eyes narrowing as they adjusted to the dim light that barely illuminated the scene inside. The room was small and windowless, with only a single, flickering bulb hanging from the ceiling, casting weak, uneven light over the grim scene. The shadows danced eerily across the walls, adding to the sinister atmosphere. In the center of the room, a tall, imposing figure stood over a man who was crumpled on the floor, barely clinging to consciousness. The man standing was about 6'2" tall, his broad shoulders and muscular build making him an intimidating presence. He was dressed in a white shirt, or what was once white, now soaked in blood, turning it a deep, sickening red. His black pants were splattered with the same crimson stains, evidence of the violence that had unfolded in this confined space.
