Summary

In the winter of 1990, a small Bulgarian village became the site of a secretive military operation known as "Operation Sunray." Officially, they were searching for buried treasure, but the truth was far more disturbing. Deep beneath the surface, something ancient and malevolent was waiting to be discovered. The locals spoke of strange lights in the sky, mysterious vibrations in the earth, and whispers coming from nowhere. As the excavation progressed, the soldiers began to experience unexplainable phenomena—malfunctioning equipment, shadowy figures, and a growing sense of dread. The deeper they dug, the stronger the presence became, as if it was drawing them in. Despite the warnings of psychics and local legends, the military pressed on, driven by a desire for what they believed to be a powerful artifact. But what they found was not a treasure—it was an entity that had been sealed away for a reason. As the operation spiraled out of control, it became clear that some secrets are meant to stay buried. This is the story of the evil that lies at the bottom of the Tsarichina Hole.
