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*.

The night was gone. In a large hall, Suzanne looked at David. "Then what happened next, David? A. D and your sister left us to meet your mom, and we drifted apart, unable to connect."


From the side, A.D. stretched. "Now stop! All night, I couldn't sleep because of your conversations, and this girl..." He gestured towards Sharleen, who was fast asleep, her head resting on A.D.'s arm. A.D. turned to everyone else. "Wake up! We don't have time. Wake up..."
