■ ‘Forbidden Catalyst’ Story Chapter 2 Released…New Ranking Battle Content Great Rift, Ego Manifestation Material ‘Omega Code’ Added

■ Forbidden Catalyst Main Characters ‘Chizuru’ and ‘Itsuku’ Updated as New Combatants and Partners Respectively

■ New System Added to Interact with Owned Combatants

Smilegate (KRX: 089200) and Super Creative's roguelike RPG ‘Chaos Zero Nightmare (hereinafter Kazena)’ announced on the 4th (Thursday) that they have released Chapter 2 of the story of Season 1 ‘Forbidden Catalyst’ of the story-based seasonal content ‘Galaxy Disaster’ and added various content including the new combatant ‘Chizuru’.

Chapter 2 will depict the chase between the main characters and ‘Yuki’ as they pursue ‘Kaguya Pharmaceuticals’ to retrieve the stolen ‘Primonium’. With the opening of Chapter 2, the new content ‘Great Rift’ has also been added. The Great Rift is a ranking battle content where users compete for the total damage dealt to the boss, and various in-game goods and limited-edition decorative items are awarded according to the highest record and ranking grade. In addition, the ‘Omega Code’, a material for ego manifestation (limit break) of all combatants, will be added to the Galaxy Disaster exclusive reward shop.

‘Chizuru’ and ‘Itsuku’, the main characters of the Forbidden Catalyst story, have been updated as new combatants and partners, respectively. Chizuru is a 5-star Void attribute psionic combatant who engages in battle centered on her exclusive skill ‘Jubakjutsu’, which allows her to acquire powerful enhancement cards. In particular, the 'Twilight Bond' card can be used to reduce card usage costs, reducing the burden of operation.

Various new content additions and system improvements have also been made. First, a new messenger-type system ‘Unigram’ has been added to strengthen communication with owned combatants, and a ‘Preferred Gift’ system has been introduced for each combatant, making customized gifts possible. Special events may occur in Unigram depending on the level of trust.

A new permanent store, ‘Blackhorn Trading Post’, has also been added. At the Blackhorn Trading Post, you can consume ‘Chaos Crystals’ acquired by playing ‘Chaos Implementation’, ‘Codex’, and ‘Galaxy Disaster’ content to purchase various items that help with growth. In addition, starting with this update, the amount of in-game currency consumed to level up combatants and partners has been reduced by 80% compared to the previous amount, alleviating the burden of training, and the currency already consumed will be applied retroactively and returned to users.

Finally, a new attendance event will be held for a total of 21 days. Depending on the cumulative number of attendance days, generous gifts will be given, including ‘Rescue Anchors’ and ‘Signal Amplification Anchors’, which are used to acquire combatants and partners, as well as various growth materials and prism lenses.

Smilegate Business Director Kim Joo-hyung said, “In addition to the new Galaxy Disaster story and content, we are also making various efforts to improve the game. In particular, we are constantly considering ways to strengthen communication with characters and alleviate the burden of training.”

Meanwhile, additional information about Kazena can be found on the official communities on ‘X’ and ‘YouTube’, and the Stove official website. 

I'm afraid to press play

Did pve change that badly?

In 《Crimson Nights》, not only witches 

but also various enemies will stand in your way.

Person

The vast majority of commoners, who have no money to buy sleeping pills or the extraordinary ability to endure or drive away drowsiness,

rely on clockwork devices and suffer from chronic sleep deprivation to keep their lives going.

Maintaining this clockwork device requires a huge amount of money from the citizens' perspective.

In order to obtain essence, the unit of the soul and the basic currency of the game, 

they do not hesitate to do illegal things as a side job.

Therefore, cities and towns are no longer safe places.

People are no longer relaxed enough 

to just let healthy travelers pass by. 

Clockwork

The nobles hated the precariousness of the workers suffering from sleep deprivation.

So, in the end, they thought, let's just turn them into beings that don't sleep.

Machines that don't need to sleep in the first place quickly replaced the citizens' places.

Today, clockwork devices maintain the kingdom silently 

in many areas of Soleil, 

and perform various important tasks to serve the nobles.

Unfortunately, their thinking circuits are not that flexible.

These cheap mass-produced items are not made sophisticated enough 

to listen to the intruder's circumstances.

Fey

A large amount of essence draws out supernatural mysteries.

Fey are considered to be creatures, objects, phenomena, or souls that have been

transformed by the influence of essence.

However, this is also just an unclear rumor,

and to the public, it is closer to a general term for dangerous beings

who attack people for the purpose of essence.

Fey exist everywhere, but prefer places rich in essence.

Such places are also dangerous places where strange phenomena occur.

The current Kingdom of Soleil is full of supernatural anomalies.

That means you are likely to be attacked anywhere.

Demi-Human

The practical difference between Fey and Demi-Humans is

whether the kingdom recognizes them or not.

In other words, whether they pay taxes or not.

Unlike most Fey, Demi-Humans can communicate

and sometimes form friendly relationships like humans.

They sometimes even feel like ordinary neighbors.

But don't be mistaken.

They are not human,

and at crucial moments, they think and act in completely different ways from humans.

Their nature is ultimately wild and destructive like that of Fey,

so there are constant accidents where they are.

Nightmare

Beings originating from the dreamland,

they are new types of Fey that have hardly been known to this world.

It is widely speculated that the nightmares people have are

Fey that have become cursed,

but some connoisseurs say otherwise.

People's dreams are just an entrance to enter the 'dreamland'.

Below it exists the true 'dream continent' where transcendents reside, that is, Dreamland,

and nightmares are its residents.

You will encounter the unique beings like the ones above

in various parts of the kingdom.

Most will see you as prey,

but some may help with the hunt.

Just because someone is human doesn't mean they are an ally,

and just because someone isn't human doesn't mean they are an enemy.

If the other person is not hostile—

First of all, talking to them might be one way!
