Sanguine Abyss

You will lose yourself in your dreams.

Alias: 붉은 심연
Difficulty Levels: 1 - 7
Release Date: October 24, 2023

Yunwa, having vanquished the Inheritors, felt a creeping sense of unease. The warrior who had fought by her side collapsed to their knees, gasping as if burdened by a crushing weight. Their eyes clouded with a terrifying darkness, and they lurched forward, their fierce and lifeless eyes locked onto her. Beaten, bruised, and bloodied, Yunwa barely survived the warrior's assault.

Horrified by your sudden outburst and the lingering Chaos within you, Yunwa insisted you seek help from Dahmik, an incantor hailing from the renowned Inyang family, to unravel the darkness that threatened to consume you. Dahmik has a special gift for the enigmatic forces, and upon meeting you, he quickly detected a hidden evil. Your being was infested by Chaos, and it seemed to be the insidious work of a Night Spirit—a parasitic entity, feeding insatiably upon the very essence of Chaos, much like a mosquito sating its thirst for blood. Some sinister puppeteer has tampered with you, leaving you vulnerable to malicious influences.

Dahmik cannot help you banish the Night Spirit, but he can help lead you to it. For generations, the Inyang family have stood watch over the Sanguine Abyss, a realm where dreams bleed into reality. Within, a crimson moon hangs low in the ominous sky, where the monstrous Night Spirit spins its nightmarish webs and drains the life from its victims. It traps its prey in a labyrinth of terrifying dreams, denying them of precious rest and slowly draining their sanity. Hunt down the fiend in the abyss, empowered by the Chaos coursing through your veins, before the master of nightmares consumes you whole.
