A boy obsessed with adventure and danger is drawn into a sinister survival game after encountering a demon who grants him three wishes. The game, crafted by a Demon King seeking escape from an eternal prison, thrusts 10 million people into a nightmarish realm. The boy, secretly responsible for their plight, thrives in the chaos.

Survivors are forced to hunt monsters and each other, consuming hearts for power while battling through 1,000 layers of increasing peril. Alliances crumble, trust fades, and the boy grows more powerful, driven by his dark desires. Among the survivors is a girl he admires but manipulates, masking his intentions behind false kindness.

The Demon King, observing, sees the boy as his salvation—a heart dark enough to free him. Yet, as the boy ascends, even the Demon King begins to fear his boundless hunger for power. The final layer brings a revelation: the boy’s wishes created the game, turning survivors against him.

Betrayed and hunted by millions, the boy fights back, emerging as a greater evil than the Demon King himself. His defiance climaxes in a catastrophic battle, where the intervention of Bajranjee—a disciple of Hanuman—defeats the Demon King but leaves the boy wielding his power. Realizing the threat he poses, the boy sacrifices himself, turning to stone and erasing survivors’ memories.

But the story doesn’t end there. A greater threat looms as the balance between dimensions shatters, heralding the rise of Kali, the Strongest Evil Demon King, preparing for war with the universe itself.

Adventure Till Death

At the Third Alliance Headquarters, Victor sat at a large wooden table, frowning as he stared at a map of the dark, labyrinthine realm they were trapped in. Zoro leaned against a nearby wall, arms crossed, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Who is Rono?" Victor asked, his voice tinged with irritation. "I don't recognize him, but he showed up out of nowhere."

Zoro's brow furrowed as he thought. "Based on his attack on Leon, I'd say he's a threat to us," he replied, his tone cautious. "If he's strong enough to take down one of our own, we need to deal with him before he becomes a real problem."

Leon, nursing a bruise on his side, nodded. "We're right to be cautious," he agreed. "But right now, we need to focus on gathering points to exit this layer. That's our immediate priority."

Victor glanced at Leon, his expression skeptical. "Points are secondary if we're dealing with potential enemies like Rono," he pointed out. "We need to make sure we're safe first."

Zoro pushed away from the wall, a slight smirk crossing his lips. "You forget, Victor, we're all in this together," he said, his voice carrying a hint of camaraderie. "Rono might be a threat, but if we handle him properly, he could become an ally. Or at least, he won't stand in our way."

Victor shook his head. "I don't like the idea of taking risks with someone we don't know," he countered. "We can't afford to make enemies when we're this far from an exit."

Leon sighed, his eyes drifting over the map again. "Look, we've got to stay focused. Right now, points are our only way out of here. We'll deal with Rono if he proves to be a problem, but until then, we need to keep our eyes on the bigger picture."

Zoro grunted in agreement. "Exactly. We need to gather as many points as possible, and that means working together without distractions. If Rono's a threat, we'll deal with him when we need to."

Victor nodded reluctantly, conceding the point. "Alright, fine," he said, his tone acknowledging the practical need to prioritize. "But we should keep an eye on him. If he's out there hunting players, he'll be a problem sooner or later."

Leon's lips curled into a thin smile. "Let's hope we don't have to deal with him until we're ready," he said, his eyes flicking to the map again. "For now, let's focus on getting enough points to exit this layer. If we can't survive here, we'll never make it to the next."

The room fell silent as the trio contemplated their next move. They were caught in a delicate balance—defending their position, gathering points, and keeping an eye on new threats like Rono. It was a precarious existence in the dark, deadly world they inhabited, but they were bound by a shared goal: to survive and find their way out.
