00:00Welcome back to the shadows of the internet where fear has no filter and reality is just a code
00:19waiting to break if you dare to look deeper. Make sure to like and subscribe before we begin this
00:25tale that drags you beneath the surface of the dark web into a pit of terror that never truly lets go.
00:32It all began on a rainy October night in Krakow, Poland, when 26-year-old Adrian Nowak, a cybersecurity
00:39analyst and former ethical hacker, stumbled upon an invitation-only forum hidden deep in the Tor
00:46network. Adrian wasn't a stranger to the dark web. He'd seen marketplaces, leaked databases, and even
00:53the so-called red rooms, most of which were hoaxes or cleverly staged illusions. But this forum,
01:00titled XZeroNet, felt different. It wasn't hosted on any known protocol, and its code structure was
01:07erratic, glitchy, like it was trying to avoid being understood. The interface was pure black with red
01:14shifting symbols, almost pulsating like a heartbeat. He felt the odd urge to back away, but his curiosity
01:21as a digital archaeologist got the better of him. After days of decoding, he gained access, only to be
01:28greeted with a single prompt. Do you want to hear the truth? Thinking it was an ARG or a lab or horror
01:34project, he clicked yes. That's when everything changed. His laptop shut down, then restarted, but no
01:41operating system booted. Just a black screen and a phrase, you're in now. At first, he thought it was
01:48malware. But then the lights in his apartment flickered. His Alexa spoke in reverse. His phone
01:54showed live footage of himself, though he had no camera turned on. Days passed, and the line between
02:00the virtual and real began to fade. He'd hear distorted lullabies at night, echoing from his
02:06speakers. His emails started replying on their own. One day, while debugging the device, he found a folder
02:13that hadn't been there before, titled Echologues. Inside were audio files, recordings of him talking
02:20in his sleep, describing events that hadn't happened yet. One file detailed a woman crying in his hallway.
02:28The same night, he heard knocks on his door, but found no one outside. Another predicted a fire in his
02:34neighbor's apartment that occurred two days later. Adrian was breaking apart, mentally, emotionally.
02:41Every night, brought something new. Shadows moving under locked doors. Files appearing with names of
02:48his friends, and then those friends dying under mysterious conditions. The final recording chilled
02:54him to the bone, his own voice whispering, I shouldn't have clicked yes. Then came the hallucinations.
03:01Or were they? One night, he saw a man crawling out of his laptop, limbs thin and crooked, face pixelated
03:08and melting. The man didn't attack. He whispered, you brought me through. Adrian smashed the laptop,
03:15thinking it was over. But that night, his television turned on by itself. It showed a live stream of
03:22Adrian sleeping. Someone was filming him. The next morning, he found scratches on the inside of his
03:27bedroom door. Claw marched from the inside. Terrified, he contacted his old friend, a dark web
03:33cryptographer named Livia from Hungary, who confirmed something sinister. X0net wasn't human made.
03:41It had no server origin, no traceable packets. It was like it existed between frequencies. A myth had
03:48existed in dark web lore. An ancient intelligence embedded in forgotten protocols, known as the listener.
03:56Livia believed Adrian had awakened it by accepting the invite. Desperate, they tried destroying all
04:02electronics. But even analog radios began whispering, repeating phrases from the forum. Livia suggested
04:09they go underground, quite literally, to an old Soviet-era bunker in Slovakia, far from any digital
04:16signal. For a while it worked. The silence was real, peaceful, until the generator died one night,
04:24and the bunkers wall radios began playing the sound of a baby crying. Then laughing. Then Adrian's voice
04:31again from the future saying, Livia is not real. Panic erupted. He turned to see Livia, but her eyes were
04:38pure static. She smiled and said, The listener thanks you. The walls began bleeding symbols. The ceiling
04:45cracked open to reveal a black void. Adrian tried to run, but the floor beneath him gave way. He awoke back
04:53in his apartment, like nothing happened. Was it all a dream? No. The folder was still on his desktop. His
04:59reflection in the screen blinked twice while he only blinked once. That was a week ago. Adrian hasn't
05:05left his apartment since. He has no devices. He writes on paper. But even now, the radio down the
05:12hall sometimes turns on and says his name. So if you ever find X-Zero Net, don't click yes. Don't listen
05:19to the whispers. Because once the listener hears you, it never forgets. And if you enjoyed this story,
05:25don't forget to like and subscribe for more digital horrors that creep beyond your firewalls.
05:30Until next time, keep your screens off at night.
