UNAUTHORIZED PATTERN

Derived from Verified Case Files - A Digital Observation Incident Report.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
This novel delivers unrelenting psychological horror by showing how humanity adapts to unstoppable violence until survival itself becomes a trap. Cold, precise, and deeply unsettling, it replaces monsters with systems and fear with obedience. This is not comfort horror—it’s a disturbing, thought-provoking descent that stays with the reader long after the final page.


UNAUTHORIZED PATTERN

The first confirmed death occurred six days after the pattern was decoded.

A viewer was found seated at his desk, eyes burned black from prolonged hemorrhaging, blood leaking from the ears and nose. His fingernails were torn loose. His jaw was dislocated, stretched open in a silent scream captured by his webcam—still recording when police arrived.

The final video he watched was only nine seconds long.

Others followed.

Viewers reported hearing tones hours after closing their browsers. Screens turned on by themselves. Faces appeared for single frames—skin peeled back, mouths distended, eyes tracking movement in the room. Several victims were found dead with no external trauma, brains swollen, skulls fractured from internal pressure.

The uploads adjusted.

When people tried to stop watching, the videos shortened. When viewership dropped, the symbols simplified—easier to recognize, harder to ignore. One investigator mapped the pattern and suffered a seizure mid-presentation, biting through his tongue before collapsing.

His final words were logged:

“It knows when we’re looking away.”

The channel did not spread a message.

It tested thresholds—attention, fear, biological limits—until something on the other side confirmed that human observers were fragile enough to be exploited.

And then it stopped.

Because it had learned enough.
