Chapter 1: The Message at Midnight
Arif never believed in coincidences—until the night his phone buzzed at exactly 12:00 AM.
Unknown number. No caller ID.
The message read:
"If you want to live, don't trust anyone."
At first, he laughed it off. Probably a prank. But seconds later, his lights flickered… then went out.
From the darkness, he heard something—footsteps outside his door.
Chapter 2: The Hidden File
The next morning, Arif checked his laptop and found a strange file on his desktop:
Shadow_Code.exe
He was sure he hadn't downloaded it.
Curiosity took over. He opened it.
The screen turned black… then lines of code began to scroll rapidly. Suddenly, a video appeared—his own room, recorded live.
Someone was watching him.
Then the same message appeared again:
"Run."
Chapter 3: The Chase Begins
Panicked, Arif grabbed his phone and ran outside. But things only got worse.
A black car started following him. Every turn he took—they followed.
He entered a crowded market, hoping to disappear. But his phone buzzed again.
"You can't hide."
His heart pounded. Whoever was after him knew everything.
Chapter 4: The Truth Uncovered
Arif remembered something—his old friend Rafi, a cybersecurity expert.
He rushed to Rafi's place and showed him everything.
Rafi's face turned pale.
"This… this is military-level tracking software. You're not just being watched… you've been targeted."
"Why me?" Arif asked.
Rafi hesitated.
"Because you downloaded something last week, didn't you?"
Arif froze. That "free earning app"…
It wasn't just an app. It was a trap.
Chapter 5: Escape or End
The black car finally stopped outside Rafi's house.
They were out of time.
Rafi quickly created a counter-code to shut down the system tracking Arif. But it would only work once.
"After this," Rafi said, "you disappear. New identity. New life."
The door suddenly shook—someone was breaking in.
Arif took a deep breath and pressed ENTER.
Everything went silent.
The screens went dark.
Outside, the footsteps stopped.
He survived… but at a cost.
Because somewhere in the shadows…
someone was still watching.
