Alex Wassabi was invited by Joey Graceffa, who was under the control of The Sorceress, to attend a masquerade ball at a Victorian Mansion and was given the role of The Novelist. He arrived alongside his girlfriend, Lauren Riihimaki. After she lost a challenge to DeStorm Power and was killed, Alex vowed to get his revenge. He would accomplish this goal after he voluntarily went head-to-head with DeStorm in the Pool Challenge and won. Having successfully avenged Lauren, Alex dedicated himself to helping the group by being a team-player.

After the group began to vote for themselves, Alex was entered into the Steam Machine Challenge against Gabbie Hanna. Despite her initial lead, Alex was able to copy her in order to catch up and overtook her after he discovered a guide to finish the last puzzle. He was then forced to run the Gauntlet and finished in first place. Lastly, Alex was entered into the Dark Dimension Challenge against Andrea Russett and chose Joey to be his partner. Unfortunately, the two of them were unable to win the challenge. Alex accepted his fate and was killed by the Dark Dimension Gatekeeper.

Alex was later collected by The Collector, who retitled him as The Aviator before being put up for display in her Museum of the Dead. He was later freed by Joey after he infiltrated the museum with Bretman Rock and was brought face-to-face with DeStorm once more. However, Alex chose to form an alliance with DeStorm instead of reignite their feud and decided that being a team-player was not worth it. His uncharacteristic behavior resulted in him being voted into the Emperor’s Challenge against DeStorm. Alex was bound to lose the challenge and only survived because DeStorm sacrificed his life for him in repayment for the death of Lauren.

Upon his return, Alex apologized to the group for his behavior and that he would work hard to regain their trust. He unsuccessfully attempted to save Tana Mongeau and Gabbie from the Black Knight. He was then voted into the Minotaur’s Maze Challenge against Colleen Ballinger and chose Nikita Dragun, one of their Guardian Angels, to be his partner. Again, Alex was going to lose the challenge, but won when Nikita sabotaged Colleen. Soon after, he was voted into the Story Challenge against Bretman; however, Joey volunteered to take his place. Lastly, he was forced into the Pirate’s Blood Challenge and finished in last place. Alex was shot to death by Rorik and his Pirates as a result.

The group then finds a statue and a small message is attached to the bottom.

Speak to us forgotten one, and steal the light from our eyes that we might see
— The message

Suddenly, a loud bang comes from the door, showing the Devourer being trapped inside. The group after reading the message try to communicate with it to no avail. They then notice on one side of the idol is a picture of four people standing with their arms up. They then try to replicate the drawing while repeating the message. The idol suddenly glows and a part of it falls to the ground. It is shown to be a book with another message written inside.

The Sorceress has used the final gem, to summon a Devourer to aid in her end game. To retrieve the gem you must venture into the Dark Dimension where it is being kept.

Please have your telephone billet number ready to operate the telephone.
— The notice

Suddenly they discover a box with a note, sulfur and a scroll with how to perform the seance.

The gatekeeper of hell hides his secret words among the living. The ritual to reveal their location must be performed in the lounge by three participants who must first drink the blood of a demon. A drop of sulfur in the correct liquor bottle will reveal the one containing demon's blood
— The first note

Alex is then voted by the group to be the decoy and distract the Devourer while the others perform the ritual. When he begins to chase him they realize that there is a force field around the house trapping the Devourer inside the house. While Alex chases the Devourer around the house the others begin to perform the ritual however the Devourer gets bored and stops chasing him and goes towards the others. Alex quickly distracts him again until he eventually was cornered in the study and taken he was then transported to the Dark Dimension until the others completed the ritual. They successfully complete the ritual and Alex is freed from the Dark Dimension. They then explain to Alex what happened while he was gone and tells him that the Devourer is locked in the library they then tried to use the demon's words to use the telephone and find a note underneath the telephone billet number notice a note saying that the telephone billet number is filed in the library. They then find a key which unlocks desk drawers and they find the telephone billet number. During the challenge vote, Alex puts his own card in and is drawn to complete the challenge, which is to find the last gem in the Dark Dimension.
