In a dimly lit basement apartment in Seattle, 29-year-old software developer “RavenX9” scrolled through an obscure dark web forum at 3:12 AM.

A new thread titled “Oak Grove Proof – They are Not Gone. They are For Sale” immediatelyMcaught his eye. He clicked it.

The post contained several high-quality teaser images and a short video. Alex’s pulse quickened as he watched a masked figure casually posing and moving completely frozen students demonstrating their flexibility and lifelike warmth. At the bottom was a private link to ChronosVault – Oak Grove Collection.

After sending proof of funds, he was granted immediate access. The site was clean, professional, and chillingly well-organized. A banner at the top read:

Oak Grove Historical Village Collection

Grade-A Permanent Time-Locked Specimens

Fully Usable • Flexible • Eternally Preserved

Live Auction Begins in 48 Hours

Alex began browsing slowly, his eyes widening with every listing.

Tyler Brooks – Athletic Male

Starting Bid: 42 BTC

Note: This products cousin, Natalie Brooks, is also available here.

The tall, athletic boy was posed confidently, his legs slightly apart, shoulders squared, head tilted with a cocky smile frozen on his face. Multiple angles showed off his defined chest, abs, and strong legs. Some photos even showed him with his cousin’s hands all over him.

Jasmine Washington – Curvy African American Female

Starting Bid: 55 BTC

Posed with one hip cocked dramatically, chest slightly forward, one hand resting under her heavy breast to emphasize her full figure and rich dark skin. Several sensual close-ups highlighted her curves.

Emily Harper – Freckled Redhead

Starting Bid: 48 BTC

Arranged in a soft reclining pose on a padded platform, one leg bent, her voluptuous body displayed invitingly. The lighting beautifully caught the constellation of freckles across her chest and shoulders.

Mei Lin – Petite Asian Female

Starting Bid: 39 BTC

Positioned in a delicate, almost ballerina-like stance with arms gracefully raised, highlighting her small frame, smooth skin, and innocent frozen expression.

Hannah Patel & Noah Patel – Sibling Set

Starting Bid: 82 BTC (for the pair)

Posed together with Hannah standing protectively in front, one arm slightly extended, while Noah stood just behind her with his hand on her shoulder. The familial resemblance was striking and intentionally highlighted.

Brooke Callahan – Athletic Female

Starting Bid: 41 BTC

Captured mid-stride in a dynamic pose, highlighting her toned legs, athletic build, and bright hazel eyes. Scrolling some more, he even saw what’s looked like photos from the girl’s instagram were included, with many photos showing her with a middle eastern girl who he saw was also for sale.

Chloe Bennett & Laura Bennett – Mother-Daughter Set

Starting Bid: 82 BTC (for the pair)

Posed facing each other — Mrs. Bennett was standing authoritative and mature, while Chloe stood slightly in front with her head tilted up in a classic expression of mild defiance. The contrast between mother and daughter was powerfully captured.

Alex spent over an hour browsing deeper into the catalog. There were dozens more students and another teacher, each with professional photos, detailed measurements, and descriptions emphasizing their permanent frozen status.

He kept returning to certain listings — the sibling set, the mother-daughter pairing, Tyler’s athletic frame, Jasmine’s curves, and Emily’s soft, freckled beauty.

The man leaned back in his chair, staring at the grid of frozen teenagers and teachers on his screen. His mind was already racing with possibilities. He was not sure exactly who he wanted yet… but he knew he was going to leave the auction with at least one of them — maybe more.
