The Blood Oath
The first part of the Phantom’s legend begins now. Brutal, unrelenting, and mind-twisting. This is not just a mission. This is war.

Kabul, Afghanistan – 2:13 AM
The desert night was silent, except for the howling wind cutting through the ruins of an abandoned terrorist safe house. The air smelled of dust, blood, and gunpowder. A body hung upside down from the ceiling, gutted like an animal. Another lay in the corner, throat slit, eyes wide open in terror.
In the center of the room, a Pakistani ISI officer, Major Usman Qadri, sat bound to a chair, his uniform drenched in sweat and fear. His breathing was shallow, his mind broken.
Across from him stood a shadow.
A man without a face. Without a name.
They called him the Phantom.
Qadri had spent the last three hours watching his men die. One by one. Not killed—erased. Their bodies left as messages. The brutality was beyond anything he had ever seen.
"Who… what are you?" Qadri stammered, his voice cracking.
The Phantom tilted his head, amused. "A ghost," he whispered.
Qadri’s lips trembled. "RAW sent you?"
The Phantom laughed. A cold, hollow sound. "RAW?" He leaned closer. "Even they don’t know who I am."
Qadri’s heart pounded. "What do you want?"
The Phantom grabbed a rusty knife from the table and slowly dragged it across Qadri’s cheek. "Names. Camps. Locations."
"I… I won’t—"
Before he could finish, the Phantom plunged the knife into Qadri’s thigh. A scream ripped through the empty house.
The Phantom smiled. "Don’t worry. You’ll talk."
And he did.
Three hours later, there was nothing left of Major Usman Qadri except a bloodied corpse tied to a chair—his tongue nailed to the wall behind him.
And the Phantom? He was already gone.

Islamabad, Pakistan – The Next Target
In the depths of Pakistan’s intelligence headquarters, ISI Director-General Hamid Rehman stared at the photographs laid out on the table.
Bodies torn apart. Faces frozen in horror. Men who had sworn their loyalty to Pakistan but had died wishing they had never been born.
His hands trembled as he read the name carved into one of the corpses.
PHANTOM.
"This is not a man," Rehman whispered. "This is something else."
Across the room, an ISI Colonel spoke carefully. "Sir… should we inform the Prime Minister?"
Rehman shook his head. "No. If he finds out that an Indian ghost is tearing through our networks, he will panic."
The Colonel hesitated. "Then… what do we do?"
Rehman took a deep breath. "We hunt him down. We find out who he is. We end him before he reaches…"
He stopped.
Because he knew.
The Phantom was already in Pakistan.
And the next name on his list… was his.

This was just the beginning. The Phantom had made his blood oath.
