In the underbelly of MadCity, the shadows are more than just darkness - they're alive, ancient, and whispering.
Violet Yiu, known to the world as Vanta, is a government-licensed superhero and a founding member of The Sentinels. But before the fame, she was raised by a secretive cult that worships a forgotten demon named Narak'Thul - a past she barely escaped, and one that never truly let her go.
When a series of ritualistic killings point to the reawakening of the cult, Vanta is pulled back into the world she tried to bury. A cryptic symbol found beneath the city leads her to a long-abandoned subway station, where she discovers that the cult has returned - stronger, more fanatical, and obsessed with reclaiming her as their prophesied weapon.
Haunted by visions, torn between her duty and her past, Vanta must confront the truth about her origins and the dark power that stirs within her. But as the shadows grow deeper, she begins to wonder: is she hunting the cult - or becoming what they always wanted?
"The Dark Beneath" kicks off Vanta's personal journey into the hidden horrors of MadCity, blending psychological mystery, supernatural terror, and urban action in a noir superhero thriller.
