Update Preview – 2025.11.7 Lord of Abyss

Today, we finally meet the mysterious lady who reigns over the deepest darkness — Anat, the ruler of the Abyss.

Unlike the monsters and fiends that serve her, Anat faces the player in what she calls a fair duel — her speed always match the player’s exactly.

Anat gifts Mark of Gluttony, a direct embodiment of insatiable desire. Her Apostles spread this gift as...

Update Preview – 2025.10.31 The Prey’s Past 2

Today, we continue exploring the Huntress’s cards.
As a born hunter, the desire for blood and the thrill of the chase roar within her heart — a hunger that turns both outward and inward. This is reflected not only in her ability to harm her enemies, but also in her willingness to hurt herself in pursuit of power.

Update Preview – 2025.10.25 The Prey’s Past

Last week, we introduced the Devourer of Desire and mentioned the unfortunate mortal it had captured — the Prey.

Prolonged feeding has drastically changed her body, leaving her soft, heavy, and burdened by the remnants of endless indulgence. Her deck combines cards from both the Blessed Champion and another class.

Today, we unveil a truly special enemy from the Abyss — The Devourer of Desire.

This creature is one of the few native beings of the Abyss, occasionally slipping through fractures between realms to haunt the mortal world. It feeds on human desire — the more cravings it consumes, the stronger it becomes.

In gameplay terms, whenever any character gains fullness, t...

Update Preview – 2025.10.10 Abyss 3

Today, we descend once more into the Abyss to meet another elite foe: The Fallen Fairy Sage.

Once celebrated as the most brilliant alchemist in the Fairy Kingdom, she was admired for her boundless intellect and mastery of transmutation. But her brilliance became her blindness — everything, even life and soul, turned into mere commodities for her experim...

Update Preview – 2025.10.3 Abyss 2

Greetings adventurer, today we will dive further into the abyss and meet a new elite who embodies both divinity and corruption: Lucifer, the Fallen Angel.

Once a radiant messenger of the heavens, Lucifer now drifts between holiness and corruption, her mind forever torn by the echoes of her fall. At the start of each turn, she switches between her two forms View Post

Event preview: Jar of Glutton

Event preview: Jar of Glutton

While exploring an underground cavern, you discover a jar enshrined on a stone pedestal. The jar is pure white, its surface fine and smooth, resembling precious Eastern porcelain. Though the jar's mouth appears quite wide for its size, it seems remarkably small compared to the exaggerated swell of its belly. Imprinted on the curved body is a human face. The vase's extreme curvature pushes t...

Into the Depths Worldview

Our story unfolds in an underground realm born from a mine once rich in precious metals and crystals. After years of relentless mining drained its resources, the mine's owners abandoned it, leaving the hollowed tunnels to be claimed by demi-humans, monsters, and creatures twisted by the cave's magic.

In the cavernous depths where oversight vanished, these hollows became a sanctuary for f...
