Under The World

Kael, the Broker of the underworld, rules a vast empire built on power and fear. Known for his sharp mind and ruthless control, he keeps everything in his world carefully balanced-except for one chaotic corner he refuses to touch: the black market. This dark and lawless space thrives on human desperation, and Kael has no interest in its cruelty.

Enter Lina is a 19 year old street photographer who once walked the underworld's shadows with quiet determination. She saw beauty where others saw danger, capturing fleeting moments of light in a world of darkness. Lina was the only person Kael (29) ever allowed to photograph him. She asked permission when others wouldn't dare, and he granted it, though he never understood why.

But when Lina vanishes without a trace, Kael's carefully constructed world begins to fracture.
