Don't miss any episode of this story because you're gonna love this story. Summary of the Story: In the neon-lit, dystopian city of Novaark, masks hide faces, and secrets rule the streets. Crime syndicates and corrupt powers have turned the city into a dangerous chessboard. Amid this chaos, a mysterious figure named Phantom — real name Rivan Kuro — operates in the shadows as a spy, chasing only the most critical truths. After a recent mission, Rivan finds an encrypted chip with a chilling message: “Project TranceMind – Phase II Initiated,” and a test subject ID: L-006. Haunted by memories of a past experiment, he wonders who L-006 is. Meanwhile, strange dreams torment a girl named Lia living in an orphanage — dreams of blood, fire, and pain that aren’t hers. She draws the face of a man she doesn’t know but feels deeply connected to. Fate brings Rivan and Lia face-to-face near the orphanage. Lia senses the darkness in Rivan’s mind, startling him. Could she be L-006? That night, a scientist named Dr. Varn watches Lia’s data, smiling as he reveals dozens of cryo-sleeping test subjects labeled L-001 to L-006. Project TranceMind has returned — and this time, no one will be spared. Thank you.

Novaark ek sheher hai jahan neon lighton ke neeche andhera palta hai. Log mask pehne ghoomte hain, lekin koi bhi apna asli chehra nahi dikhata. Crime syndicates, corrupt leaders, aur underground labs ne sheher ko ek chessboard bana diya hai — jahan har pawn kisi aur ke haath mein hai.
Is sheher mein ek naam har jagah phail chuka hai — Phantom. Koi uska chehra nahi jaanta, bas uske kaam ka asar sabko dikhai deta hai. Uska asli naam hai Rivan Kuro, ek highly trained spy jo sirf un missions pe jata hai jahan zindagi se zyada important kuch hota hai — jaise sach.
Aaj Rivan ek aur mission se wapas aaya hai, lekin is baar usse kuch alag mila hai — ek encrypted chip jisme likha hai:
“Project TranceMind – Phase II Initiated”
“Test Subject ID: L-006”
Rivan chip ko ghurta hai, uske chehre pe pehli baar confusion dikhai deta hai.
Rivan (slowly):
“TranceMind... fir se wahi naam. Main isse kabhi peecha nahi chhuda paaya.”
Uski aankhon mein kuch purani yaadien flash hoti hain — ek lab, jalti hui files, aur cheekhte hue test subjects.
Rivan:
“L-006... kaun hai yeh?”
Woh chip ko analyze karta hai, lekin jaise hi kuch decrypt hone lagta hai, data glitch hone lagta hai.
Rivan (ghussa mein):
“Kisi ko pata chal gaya... main close aa gaya hoon.”
Duur ek orphanage mein, ek ladki Lia neend se jagti hai. Uski sansen tez chal rahi hain. Uska gala sukh gaya hai. Usne ek sapna dekha — koi aadmi kisi aur ko maar raha tha. Khoon. Aag. Cheekhen. Par sab kuch blur tha.
Lia (dar ke):
“Main usse jaanti nahi... par phir bhi uske emotions mehsoos hue... jaise main waha thi.”
Woh apna sketchbook uthakar us chehre ka sketch banati hai — aadha chehra chhupa hua, aankhen udaas.
Uske paas baithe caretaker use dekh kar puchti hai:
Caretaker:
"Fir se wahi sapna, Lia? Tum bahut ajeeb cheezein sochti ho beta."
Lia:
"Yeh sirf sapne nahi hain... yeh kisi aur ki yaadien hain."
Caretaker (thoda hass ke):
"Tumhara imagination bahut strong hai."
Lia:
"Nahi... mujhe lagta hai... main kisi aur ke andar dekh sakti hoon."
Agle din, Rivan ek clue ko follow karte orphanage ke paas se guzarta hai. Us waqt Lia bahar aayi hoti hai. Dono ka aapas mein pehli baar aamna-saamna hota hai. Rivan casually nikal raha hota hai, jab Lia uske paas se guzarte hi ruk jaati hai. Uska sir tez dard karne lagta hai. Ek flash — lab, chip, cheekhna.
Lia (dhire se):
"Tum... tum wahi ho... jiske dimaag mein andhera bhara hai..."
Rivan ka kadam rukta hai. Woh turant mudta hai.
Rivan:
"Kya kaha tumne?"
Lia (ghabra ke):
"Mujhe... pata nahi... maine aise hi keh diya... sorry..."
Rivan (andar hi andar):
"Kaise jaan sakti hai yeh? Kya yeh... L-006 hai?"
Woh kuch bolta nahi, bas uski taraf dekhta rehta hai, jab tak Lia wapas orphanage mein chali nahi jaati.
Us raat, ek unknown jagah par ek scientist — Dr. Varn — ek hologram pe Lia ka data dekh raha hota hai.
Dr. Varn (muskurate hue):
“So... little Lia has begun to awaken.”
Woh screen bandh karta hai. Uske peeche dozens of cryo-chambers mein unconscious test subjects pade hain — har ek ke haath pe ek tag: L-001, L-002... L-006 tak.
Dr. Varn:
“TranceMind ab phir se zinda ho raha hai... is baar koi bhi bacha nahi paayega.”
Rivan ka dimaag ab shaant nahi tha. Us ladki — Lia — ne uske dil mein ek aisa darr chhed diya tha jo woh dino se daba kar rakha tha. Kaise jaan sakti thi woh uske dimaag ka andhera? Kaise uske andar jhaank paayi? Uske paas koi answer nahi tha, sirf ek naam tha — L-006.
Rivan ne apni agency ke AI se contact kiya.
Rivan:
“Ava, mujhe orphanage ke recent admission records chahiye. Lia naam ki ladki, age around 16. Background jitna deep jaa sakti ho, jao.”
Ava (AI voice):
“Scanning... No official birth records. No guardian trace. Lia first appeared at the orphanage 10 years ago — brought in by an anonymous woman. Facial scan match: 0%. She's untraceable.”
Rivan:
“Untraceable... ya purposely erased?”
Uske mann mein ek hi word baar-baar ghoom raha tha — experiment.
Dusri taraf Lia ke andar kuch pal-pal badal raha tha. Uske sapne ab aur gehre ho rahe the. Pehle woh sapne blur hote the — ab woh faces aur awaazein clearly sun pa rahi thi.
Raat ko usne phir ek naya sapna dekha. Is baar woh kisi lab mein thi — cold steel ki table, injections, mask pehne hue doctors. Ek aur ladka cheekh raha tha.
Doctor (sapne mein):
“Subject L-004 is unstable! Increase dosage!”
Lia (sapne mein cheekhti hai):
“Nahi! Band karo! Wo mar jaayega!”
Achanak sab kuch black ho jaata hai. Jab uski aankh khulti hai, uska sir dard se phata ja raha hota hai. Uske haath kaanp rahe hote hain. Uska sketchbook khula pada hota hai — usne neend mein woh lab ka exact design sketch kar diya hota hai.
Lia (dheere se):
“Mujhe yeh sab yaad kaise hai? Main toh kabhi... us lab mein gayi hi nahi...”
Next day, orphanage mein ek naya volunteer aata hai — naam batata hai "Kai". Lekin asli mein woh Rivan ka disguise hota hai. Woh Lia ko observe karne aaya hai, bina uske jaane.
Kai (Rivan disguise):
“Hi, main naya volunteer hoon. Tum Lia ho, right?”
Lia (thoda hesitate kar ke):
“Haan… aap naye aaye ho? Aapke aankhon mein kuch… ajeeb hai.”
Kai:
“Ajeeb?”
Lia:
“Jaise… kuch chhupa rahe ho. Aapka chehra to smile kar raha hai… par dimaag mein darr hai.”
Kai (andar hi andar):
“Yeh ladki sirf dekh nahi sakti… yeh mehsoos karti hai. Wo too deep jaati hai... jaise scan karti ho.”
Lia waha se nikal jaati hai. Rivan ka doubt ab pakka ho chuka tha — yeh ladki koi normal human nahi hai.
Us raat Rivan orphanage ke roof pe baitha hota hai, chip ko decrypt karne ki koshish karta hua. Ava finally ek chhota encrypted file todne mein kaamyab hoti hai.
Ava:
"Decryption complete. Project TranceMind: Initiated 17 years ago. Objective: Create psychic weapons using altered children. Subjects were tagged L-series. Subject L-006: Status — Erased. Power — DreamLink."
Rivan (tezi se):
“DreamLink? Matlab woh sapno ke zariye memory access karti hai? Time, place, identity... sab dekh sakti hai?”
Ava:
“Exactly. She doesn’t dream. She remembers.”
Rivan:
“Then why is she alive?”
Usi waqt, Ava screen par ek warning flash karti hai:
"INCOMING TRACE — CODE BLACK."
Rivan (uthta hai):
“Kisi ne mujhe track kiya... damn it. Woh jaante hain main Lia ke paas hoon.”
Wahin kahin, ek secret underground lab mein Dr. Varn kisi aur scientist se baat kar raha hota hai.
Dr. Varn:
“Rivan uske aaspaas mandra raha hai. Woh bhi DreamLink ke connection ko mehsoos kar raha hoga.”
Scientist:
“Woh ladki unstable hai. Agar uske memories fully unlock ho gayi toh—”
Dr. Varn (interrupt karte hue):
“Toh duniya us project ke baare mein jaan jaayegi. Aur is baar, hum control nahi kar paayenge.”
Dr. Varn:
“Prepare the retrieval team. Bring back L-006. Alive.”
Chapter ke end mein, Lia apne aap se baat karti hai, sketchbook pakde hue — jisme ab usne Rivan ka exact chehra draw kiya hota hai, bina uska asli roop dekhe.
Lia (softly):
“Tum mere sapnon mein kyun aate ho… Rivan?”
To be continued...
Rivan ne apne mission ko aur zyada intense kar diya tha. Uske paas ab koi time nahi tha. Lia ek puzzle thi — ek dangerous puzzle, aur jaise-jaise woh solve kar raha tha, waise-waise uske aas-paas ke log usse zyada dangerous hote ja rahe the.
Lia ke sapne ab takleef dene wale hote ja rahe the. Uske sapne ab na sirf uski yaadon ko, balki dusre logon ke memories ko bhi apne andar samet rahe the. Wo kabhi-kabhi confuse ho jaati thi ki woh apni yaadon mein thi, ya kisi aur ke.
Ek raat, Lia ko phir ek ajeeb sapna aata hai. Sapna purana lab ka hai — wohi jagah jahan se uska connection TranceMind se shuru hota hai. Is baar sapna zyada vivid tha — uske paas ek chhota sa boy tha, jiska face blurred tha.
Boy (sapne mein):
"Main tumhara dimaag samajhta hoon. Tumjhse zyada... koi samajh nahi sakta."
Lia (confused):
“Kaun ho tum?”
Boy:
"Main... tumhare saare sapne le kar... tumhe sach dikhane wala hoon."
Suddenly, Lia ke saamne ek huge machine aati hai. Us machine ke andar kisi aur ka chehra dikhai deta hai — woh ek research subject tha, jise TranceMind ke experiment ke dauraan manipulate kiya gaya tha.
Lia (shock mein):
“Yeh... yeh kya hai?”
Lia ki aankhein khulti hain. Uska sir phir se dard kar raha hota hai, lekin iss baar, usse apne body mein ek strange feeling hoti hai — ek strange power jo ab uske control mein thi.
Lia (self-talk):
"Mujhe... lagta hai yeh sab sach hai. Mera sapna... woh sab sach tha."
Wahi waqt, Rivan orphanage ke paas apni car mein baitha hota hai, chip ko final decrypt karne ki koshish karte hue. Ava usse aur clues provide karti hai.
Ava (AI voice):
"Rivan, Project TranceMind ka hidden layer ab unlock ho chuka hai. Lia ki true memory, jo erased thi, ab surface par aane wali hai."
Rivan (nervously):
"Toh woh kya yaad kar rahi hai? Uska connection kisne banaya?"
Lia (thoughtfully, whispering to herself):
"Main sab yaad kar rahi hoon... yeh powers... yeh jo kuch bhi ho raha hai... kisne mujhe yeh banaya?"
Rivan ko Lia ke sapno aur uski powers ke baare mein zyada pata chal jata hai. Uske dimaag mein ab ek clear plan banne lagta hai — woh Lia ko dhoondh kar, usse baat karna chahta hai.
Lia ka ab ek bhi din normal nahi raha. Uski powers din ba din strong ho rahi thi. Har raat, uske sapne aur vivid hote ja rahe the, aur uske dimaag mein ab kuch cheezein clearly dikhayi dene lagi thi — woh experiment ka part thi. Aur, uske sapne mein ek naam baar-baar sunayi deta tha: "Project Omega."
Ek raat, Lia ko phir woh boy sapne mein dikhayi deta hai.
Boy (smiling):
"Tum ab janne wale ho. Tumhara asli mission kya tha."
Lia:
"Mission... mera mission?"
Boy:
"Ha, tum ek weapon ho... tumhe banaya gaya tha sab kuch destroy karne ke liye."
Lia ke sapne ki har ek cheez clear hone lagti hai. Project Omega — woh tha jo usse banaya gaya tha, ek psychic weapon, jiska kaam tha powerful minds ko control karna aur unhe destroy karna.
Lia (terrified):
"Main... main ek weapon thi?"
Boy:
"Main tumhe rokne aaya hoon. Tumhare andar woh powers hain jo sab kuch badal sakti hain. Tumhe samajhna hoga... ki tumhare sapne tumhara dimaag nahi, ek experiment ka result hain."
Jab Lia ne apne sapne se wapas aakar apne haath dekhe, toh unmein ek ajeeb sa glow tha. Uske andar jo power thi, woh uncontrollable hoti ja rahi thi.
Lia (angrily, to herself):
“Yeh sab sach hai… toh ab main yeh power kaise rok sakti hoon?”
Us waqt, Rivan ka phone ring karta hai. Yeh call kisi purane contact se hota hai — Dr. Varn. Dr. Varn ka tone ab kaafi cold ho chuka hota hai.
Dr. Varn:
“Rivan, tum us ladki ke aas-paas ghoom rahe ho. Tum samajh nahi rahe ho. Tumhare paas jo time tha, woh ab khatam ho gaya.”
Rivan (seriously):
"Main tumhare game ka part nahi hoon, Varn. Tum jo kar rahe ho, uska sach tumhein pata chalega."
Dr. Varn ka phone cut ho jaata hai, aur Rivan apni plan ko execute karne ke liye ready ho jaata hai. Uska goal clear ho chuka hai — Lia ko dhoondh kar, uski memory unlock karna aur usse sab kuch sach batana.
Rivan (to Ava):
“Prepare everything. Lia ko safe rakhne ki koshish karna. Uske paas ab wo powers hain, jisse sab kuch badal sakta hai.”
Lia apne andar badalte hue powers ko control karne ki koshish kar rahi hoti hai. Uske haath mein ek blue energy surge hoti hai, jo ab room mein har cheez ko shake kar rahi hai. Usse samajh aa raha hai ki woh kisi ne uski powers ko intentionally awaken kiya tha.
Lia (shouting, to herself):
“Main yeh sab kaise control karun?”
Boy (inside her mind):
“Tumhe samajhna hoga, Lia. Tumhara asli dimaag... woh tumhein banata hai. Tum jitna chaaho apne powers ko rok sakti ho.”
Lia ki aankhon mein ek nayi determination aati hai. Usne apne andar ki powers ko control karna seekhna shuru kiya. Par is dauraan, Rivan ke liye time badal raha hai — wo Lia tak pahuchne se pehle kuch bada khoya nahi chahta.
To be continued...
Rivan ka heart tez dhadak raha tha. Uske paas ab bohot kam waqt tha. Dr. Varn ki threat ke baad, woh samajh gaya tha ke TranceMind ab apne final phase mein hai. Lia ka existence usse zyada dangerous ho chuka tha. Agar woh usse apne control mein nahi laata, toh puri duniya ko consequences ka samna karna pad sakta tha.
Lia ko track karna ab aur bhi mushkil ho gaya tha. Uske powers aur zyada intense ho rahe the. Usne apne aap ko kaafi control kar liya tha, lekin ab woh apne aas-paas ki cheezon ko bhi manipulate kar rahi thi.
Lia (to herself, in her room):
"Main yeh sab kahan jaa rahi hoon? Har cheez... har kisi ka dimaag... sab kuch ab mere control mein hai. Lekin yeh power... kya yeh sahi hai?"
Lia ka heart ab bhi confuse tha. Usse pata tha ki woh ab ek dangerous weapon ban gayi thi, lekin uski identity, uska asli mission ab bhi unclear tha. Usne jo sapne dekhe the, unmein ek cheez bar-bar dikhayi de rahi thi — Project Omega.
Aur ab, woh sach samajh gayi thi. Woh ek experiment thi — ek psychic weapon jo logon ke dimaag ko control kar sakti thi. Lekin, uska asli mission ab uske haath mein tha — destroy or control?
Rivan apni car mein baitha hota hai, Lia ke aas-paas apna network activate karte hue. Uski aankhon mein determination thi. Ab woh sirf ek goal ke liye jee raha tha: Lia ko dhundhna aur usse sach batana. Agar woh sach jaan legi, toh ho sakta hai ke woh apni powers ka use sahi tareeke se kar sake.
Rivan (to Ava, in the car):
“Ava, Lia ke whereabouts confirm karo. Uska location... kis direction mein hai?”
Ava (AI voice):
“Scanning… Location: Abandoned warehouse district. Coordinates locked.”
Rivan (to himself):
"Toh woh wahan hai. Chalo, ab kuch bhi ho, woh mujhse door nahi reh sakti."
Lia apne room mein soch rahi hoti hai jab uska phone ring karta hai. Ek unknown number se call aata hai. Usne call pick kiya.
Lia:
"Hello?"
Voice (on the phone):
“Lia… tum mujhe yaad nahi karti, hai na?”
Lia thoda surprised ho kar phone pe dhyan se sunne lagti hai. Yeh awaaz kuch jaane-pehchaane si lagti hai.
Lia (confused):
“Kaun ho tum? Kaha se…?”
Voice:
“Yeh zaroori nahi hai, Lia. Main woh hoon jo tumhe sach dikhane wala hoon. Tum jo bhi samajh rahi ho, woh sab ek jhoot hai. Tum samajh chuki ho ke tumhe control kiya gaya hai.”
Lia (shocked):
“Main… main kiski baat kar rahi hoon?”
Voice:
“Tum dono ek hi experiment ka hissa ho, Lia. Tumhare andar jo power hai, woh sab tumhein samajhna hoga. Tumhare paas woh shakti hai jo poori duniya ka balance badal sakti hai.”
Lia (disturbed):
“Yeh sab... yeh sab kyun ho raha hai? Mujhe yeh kyun nahi samajh aata?”
Voice (softly):
“Tum us experiment ki final step ho, Lia. Tumhare andar jo powers hain, woh tumhe apne past ki yaadein de sakti hain. Tumhare saare questions ka jawab hai. Tum samajh jaogi, bas abhi thoda waqt chahiye.”
Lia (slowly):
“Main sab samajh rahi hoon... par kya main apni powers ko sahi tareeke se use kar paayi hoon?”
Voice line cuts off. Lia ka dimaag ab puri tarah se confuse ho gaya tha. Usne apne aap se promise kiya ki woh Rivan se milegi aur usse sach poochegi. Usne apni powers ko control karne ki koshish ki, lekin kuch aur tha — ek force jo usse chhup kar rakhne ki koshish kar raha tha.
Rivan finally warehouse ke paas pahuchta hai. Uske paas ek strategy hoti hai, par woh samajh chuka tha ke Lia ko forcefully control karna galat ho sakta hai. Woh sirf usse baat karna chahta tha — sach aur sirf sach.
Rivan (to himself):
"Yeh waqt hai. Ab koi kafi nahi hoga. Lia ko sach batana padega."
Woh warehouse ke andar ghusne lagta hai, jab usse ek chill si hawa mehsoos hoti hai. Jise woh samajhta hai, woh Lia ki energy ka effect tha. Jab woh andar enter karta hai, woh Lia ko apni powers se surrounded dekhne lagta hai.
Rivan (seriously):
“Lia... tumne apne powers ko puri tarah se jagaya hai.”
Lia (sighing, with hesitation):
“Rivan… tum aaye ho... kyunki tumhein pata chal gaya hai. Tumhe sach batana hoga. Tumhe mere andar ke saare answers dikhane honge.”
Rivan:
“Tum sach jaane ke liye ready ho?”
Lia (nodding slowly):
“Jitna tum samajhte ho… utna mein samajh chuki hoon. Mere andar wo powers hain jo sabko khatam kar sakti hain, par main samajhna chahti hoon ki main kis liye yeh hoon. Kya tum mujhe sach bata paoge?”
Rivan (looking at her, softly):
“Lia… tum Project Omega ka hissa ho. Tum ek experiment thi, ek weapon banaya gaya tha. Tumhara asli mission tha sabko control karna. Par tumne apni powers ko apne control mein rakha hai, aur ab tum woh choose kar sakti ho.”
Lia (shocked, whispering):
“Toh… main jo sab kuch kar rahi hoon, woh kuch aur tha?”
Rivan:
“Tumhe yeh samajhna hoga, Lia. Tum sirf apni destiny ko choose kar sakti ho. Tum sab kuch badal sakti ho.”
Lia apne haath mein energy feel karti hai. Uski aankhon mein determination aur fear ke beech ek balance hota hai. Uska decision ab uske haath mein tha — woh sab kuch control kar sakti thi, ya phir apne powers ko use karna seekh kar sab ko save kar sakti thi.
To be continued...
