Dragged in chains before an underground court lit by blood-red torches, Adrian Kael faces judgment for crimes he can’t confess and doesn’t dare deny. In the Tribunal, every word is a blade. Lies bleed years from his life. Truths can damn someone else.
Witnesses step from the shadows: a mentor turned accuser, a lover guarding secrets, a prosecutor who seems to know too much. With every testimony, Adrian gambles with time itself, watching his life burn away as the court feeds on contradiction.
But this is no ordinary trial. The laws are older than memory, etched in ash and bound with blood. The witnesses are tethered, the prosecutor shackled to her own bargains, and the Judge’s riddles suggest survival lies not in honesty but in choosing the right lies to spend.
As ritual overtakes reason, Adrian must face the question that’s haunted him since the first torch flared: is he truly the one on trial, or just a pawn in someone else’s sentence?
In a court where truth corrodes and lies devour years, how long can words keep him alive?

And as this story closes, remember it is only one signature in the greater ledger of HELLSIGNATURE.
Across boardrooms and parliaments, carnival tents and bloodstained courts, neon alleys and hidden networks someone waits with a contract ready. HELLSIGNATURE is a series of dark bargains, written in moments of fear, hunger, or reckless hope. Each tale reveals what happens when the fine print comes due and escape is no longer an option.
Here, temptation wears many masks, but all of them hide decay. Every promise cuts deep, every victory carries a curse.
No deal is clean. No pact is safe. Every signature bleeds more than ink.
