The broadcast cut in without warning.
BREAKING NEWSAuthorities have confirmed the discovery of twenty-seven bodies in B-Sector E5. All victims were found mutilated beyond recognition.
The footage was blurred, censored—but even through the distortion, the horror bled through the screen. Police tape flapped in the wind. Red and blue lights stained the alley like a wound that wouldn't close.
Officials later identified every victim as high-ranking cartel leaders.
The reporter swallowed before continuing.
Among the deceased are two internationally wanted mass murderers—both of whom have evaded capture for over a decade.
Phones buzzed. Screens refreshed. Comments exploded.
Who did this?How?Why now?
Another voice cut in.
Investigators are currently unsure whether the perpetrator acted alone.
Images followed—security footage silhouettes, eyewitness sketches, shadows caught mid-motion.
Speculation continues to grow surrounding the so-called "vigilante."
The word lingered.
Vigilante.
Not hero.Not criminal.Something worse.
And that was how it began.
The stories spread faster than governments could silence them. Faster than borders. Faster than truth. Every week brought new footage. New bodies. New locations.
South America. Eastern Europe. The Middle East.
Each scene shared one thing in common: the dead were monsters. Rapists. Slavers. War criminals who had lived untouched for years.
The world argued.
Some called him a devil—an executioner escaped from hell to cleanse the earth.Others said he was a vampire, an immortal judge feeding on sin.Most terrifying of all was the theory no one wanted to admit:
That he wasn't human.
Witnesses swore they saw him in multiple countries within days. Sometimes hours. No flights. No records. Just death, left behind like a signature.
They gave him many names.
But one spread faster than the rest.
A Feared Hero.
