"When you think you know the truth... you'll realize you haven't even begun to understand the lies."

In a world where darkness devours innocence, the journey of "Shadow" begins—a boy of eight who loses everything on a blood-soaked, rainy night. An unknown gang storms his home, slaughtering his parents before his eyes. His life shifts from the warmth of family to the cold embrace of loneliness, left only with scars of the past and unanswered questions. As years pass, Shadow uncovers a truth far more twisted than he imagined, realizing that the shadows of his past conceal dark threads linking his family to the world of organized crime.

Torn between despair and the thirst for vengeance, Shadow embarks on a dangerous path to confront the enigmatic "Bloods Syndicate," the entity that shattered his world. Along the way, he crosses paths with outcasts who, like him, dwell on society’s fringes, forming the Mafia—a group that redefines loyalty and betrayal. Through brutal battles, intricate conspiracies, and internal struggles, his will is tested, and his humanity is pushed to its limits as he searches for meaning in a life lost between revenge and the fear of what lies ahead.

A gripping tale where raw emotions clash with electrifying events, raising profound questions about vengeance, justice, and the steep price we pay to live... or to die.

Mafia (The red eyes)

Rio and David raised their hands. But then, David signaled to Rio, and within seconds, they both sprinted out of the store.

Gunshots echoed as the police chased them.

Then—a bullet struck David's heart.

Rio immediately carried David on his back, sirens and flashing red-and-blue lights flooding the scene behind them. He ran as fast as he could, escaping to a distant place.

"David, David…! What's wrong? Talk to me! Hold on until I get you to a hospital!"

David gasped for breath, his body drenched in blood.

"Rio… I wish we had more time together… but I guess… this is my farewell…"

"No, David… please… hold on! Don't go like this!"

David, barely able to speak, whispered,

Rio carried David all the way back to the house, where Shadow and Leo were waiting. He gently placed David down in front of Shadow.

David looked up at me, his voice weak.

"Shadow… you've always had my back… but it looks like… my journey ends here. Take care of yourself, my dear friend."

"No… No, David… I lost my parents… I can't lose you too! Please… please hold on! I can't live without you, my friend!"

David, with a faint smile, whispered,

"I'll do everything… for my friend, man…"

"David… David… NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, crying uncontrollably.

"I can't take this… I lost my parents as a child… and now I lost my best friend…"

"I will make that gang suffer. I will avenge David."

"This is all my fault… I'm the reason David is dead…"

We covered David's body with a white cloth. Then, Shadow, Rio, and Leo left the house.

With anger burning inside me, I replied,

"We're going to recruit new members for the gang… buy small weapons… and rob the central bank."
