New York, United States 2005

In a poor Manhattan neighborhood, a young handsome boy with fair skin, dark black hair, and deep blue eyes sits at his computer. His name is Viktor and he is 19 and has just graduated from a good high school but unfortunately, due to financial reasons, he could not go to college.

He has been an orphan since the death of his mother. She was brutally raped and killed when he was only ten years old. Viktor himself was hiding in a closet at the time and saw everything that happened. The police failed to find the criminals or didn't even try. He never saw his father and his mother never spoke of him.

Viktor spends his days on the Internet, likes to read light novels, and is a regular user of the darknet.

Today, like every day, he got out of bed and sat down at the computer. He entered the darknet forum and started reading all sorts of posts until he finally found a post.

"I am looking for a person/place where I can have my wife cleaned. Please help !"

He immediately got curious and clicked to enter. In response, one of the users sent a link to another site. Victor went into that link and what he saw made him unable to contain his excitement. He had been sitting on the dark web for a long time and had seen many things from rape sites to gun sales, drug sales anything illegal, but this was the first time he had entered such a deep darknet.

It was a site for assassins in which the bold text showed at first glance.

"Welcome assassins and contractors. If you have reached this page it means you have reached the real darknet. Just like the onion, the darknet has many layers and the layers you have visited so far are just a cover and a place to test people to see if they want to join our community. Now I will briefly outline the rules and explain how things work. If you are a principal, all you need to do is select the city where the target is located, and provide relevant information such as name, where the target lives, what he or she does, and so on. The more information the better. Money is paid to the order and our site acts as a buffer. As long as the assassin does not send confirmation of the contract, he will not get the money. Those who do not respect the rules and try to cheat will be expelled and blacklisted. As for the security of the principal, only the assassin accepting the task can see the person's data.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

As for assassins, they have to pass a test, and then they will be allowed to choose an assignment based on basic information such as how heavy the task is, what requirements the client has and what price he pays. If the task is not completed they will be removed from the site. From our side, that's all, please then choose whether you are an assassin or an assignment and have a nice stay."

Viktor read in one breath and felt excited for the first time in a long time. Without much thought, he selected "assassin." As he selected the page changed and the text showed.

"If you want to become a certified assassin in our community you must first prove that you are capable of it. Within a week, upload a photo or video of you killing someone. After you become a verified user you will have access to assignments and tutorials written by other senior killers. Good luck! And don't get caught."

As he read this he began to seriously consider his future. He always felt that something was missing and knew that ordinary life was not for him. In his heart, he knew that this was what he wanted now. At that moment he decided.

"I have to think about who to choose as my first target, and then I have to make sure I don't get caught," thought Viktor

As an intelligent person, Viktor knew that the chances of being caught are quite high, but he also knows that the police in the US have about a 60% success rate in catching murderers. Therefore, if you choose a homeless person who doesn't have a family and often fights with other homeless people the police won't put a lot of resources into catching the perpetrator.

In addition, he has quite a bit of knowledge that he acquired while digging in the dark web. A clever plan has already slowly begun to clarify in his mind.
