In the heart of a nation gripped by corruption and chaos, one reformist rises with a promise of integrity. His words ignite hope, his vision sparks belief, and his campaign becomes a symbol of defiance against decades of compromise. But the higher he climbs, the clearer it becomes that every path forward leads into the shadows.

Behind closed doors, the true power brokers wait. A corporate lobbyist whispers promises of safety and longevity if only he will put pen to paper. A seasoned journalist digs into the archives, uncovering eerie patterns that stretch across generations. Each coalition deal, each leadership pact, seems less like politics and more like ritual. And at the center of it all lies a recurring mark: the same pen, the same page, the same signature, repeating through time.

As the pressure mounts, ideals begin to fray. To survive, he must decide what he’s willing to trade and whether his choices are truly his own. The price of compromise is steep. The cost of resistance may be final.

A political thriller steeped in paranoia, memory, and conspiracy, Devil’s Ballot weaves a chilling story of ambition, corruption, and the haunting possibility that history does not repeat itself it remembers.

When every promise demands a signature and every choice seems already written, how much control do we really have over our own fate?

And as this story closes, remember it is only one signature in the greater ledger of HELLSIGNATURE.

In every corner of power corporations, politics, carnivals of deceit, blood-soaked courts, and neon-lit networks there waits a devil with a contract in hand. HELLSIGNATURE is a series of twisted tales where bargains are struck in desperation, ambition, or blind hope, only to reveal the true cost when escape is no longer possible. Each story peels back the mask of temptation, exposing the rot beneath, where every promise carries a price, and every victory hides a curse. No deal is clean. No pact is safe. And every signature bleeds deeper than ink.
