A.D. is no stranger to the perilous "Wish from the Devil's Game." He's the guide, the one who can bring players back from its deadly depths. His unique connection to this modernized, dangerous board game becomes paramount when Suzanne, a wealthy young woman nursing a silent sadness, inexplicably vanishes into it on her disappointing birthday night.

Suzanne's distraught father desperately seeks A.D.'s help after mysterious cards reveal Suzanne is trapped within the game, alongside others like David and Sharleen, whom A.D. had previously rescued. Despite Jane's pleas, A.D. leads a rescue team—including David and Sharleen—but reveals a prior wish that prevents Jane from entering. With the stakes terrifyingly high (death in the game is permanent), Sharleen strikes a shocking deal to share a future with A.D. and Jane if she successfully joins the mission. The team then 
plunges into the game's first treacherous level: "Run into Shark Way" 
AUTHOR NOTE:
A year ago, A.D. disappeared.

No goodbye. No message. Just silence.

Jane waited… until waiting turned into pain.  
Then the Game came back — not for her, but for her little sister.  
And only one person knew what to do.

Her mother picked up the phone and dialed the number A.D. had given her before he vanished.  
“If the Game ever returns… call me.”

He came. Quiet. Changed. Holding secrets.

This Game doesn’t come for just anyone. It comes when a wish breaks so badly, it leaves a crack in your soul.

The Devil’s Game finds that crack — and drags you in.

Win, and you get two wishes:  
One when you enter.  
One when you survive.

But A.D. had already played once…  
And now he’s back — by choice.

He knows the rules.  
He knows the shortcuts.  
And he knows something no one else does:  
**The Game remembers.**  
So do the dead.

Behind each level —  
 Level 3: Sharks and survival.  
 Level 1: The beginning A.D. never told anyone about.  
 Level 2: A hidden story known only to one woman…  
And after that? Something from the Game escapes into the real world.

This isn’t just a survival game.  
This is a story of love, loss, and the price of unfinished wishes.

Welcome to *Wish From the Devil’s Game*.

Wish from the devil's game

The group slowly stirred, groggy from their long night of storytelling. Everyone began to wake, that is, everyone except Sharleen, who remained stubbornly curled on A.D.'s arm.

"Hey, wake up!" A.D. nudged her gently.

Sharleen mumbled, burying her face deeper into his arm. "Humph! Give me some more time."

"This isn't the time for silly things," A.D. said, his voice firm but soft. "We have to hurry. We don't know what the game will do next."

At his words, Sharleen finally stirred and sat up, rubbing her eyes.

A.D. turned to Shin, one of the men from the original group they had encountered. "We have to climb up through that window to the terrace to look out and see what's going on outside." He then addressed George, another member of the group. "George, you have to help us too, and tell your team to also join us."

"But why?" George protested. "We'll find our own way out."

"You can't," A.D. stated, his gaze direct. "You'll die here."

"Humph!" George grunted, skepticism etched on his face. "And how do we believe you?"

"Because we've been here before," David interjected, his voice earnest. "And now that this game is engulfing people's lives, join us to leave this game alive."

"Okay," George conceded, convinced by David's sincerity.

"Then climb up through the window," A.D. instructed George.

"You mean, I should go first?" George scoffed. "No, I will not. Why don't you go first?"

A.D. fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a voice from outside, through a microphone, boomed. It was Lisa, Jane and Suzanne's mother. "Shin, go first!"

"Okay, Ma'am!" Shin replied, and without hesitation, he began to climb out the window. George and his two boys followed. Then, with the help of Shin and Michael (Jane and Suzanne's father'men, , who had become a player in the game after trying to save Suzanne), David and A.D. made their way onto the terrace.

"A.D., look!" Shin exclaimed, pointing.

The entire college grounds below them were submerged in water, teeming with sharks swimming everywhere, though maintaining a distance from each other.

"What is this?" George gasped, horrified.

"This is what I'm trying to make you understand," A.D. stated, his voice grim.

"What do we do now?" David asked, his voice tinged with despair.

"We have to go to that place," A.D. said, pointing towards the college's lower staff quarters, which now seemed like a distant island in a shark-infested sea.

"How do we cross this distance, going through the sharks?" George questioned, incredulous.

"That's why it's called 'run into the shark way'," A.D. replied, his gaze fixed on their daunting path. "Because we have to run out from this college through the shark way."
