THE FACE IN THE ICE.

In the freezing waters of the Antarctic, Japanese fishing vessels have reported sightings of a pale, humanoid creature drifting beneath the surface — massive, smooth-skinned, and eerily featureless. They call it the Ningen.

Described as over 60 feet long, with fins or arms and a human-like face, the Ningen blurs the line between deep-sea giant and something not meant for the surface. It doesn’t attack. It just watches — unmoving, unnatural, and unforgettable.

Some say it’s a government cover-up. Others think it’s a new species. But those who’ve seen it agree: the ocean holds things too big — and too silent — to explain.

If the sea stares back and the water stills — the Ningen has surfaced.
