# The Story



Fortunately, the Underworld Demon was eliminated from the world due to the Great Dragon Lord.

However slowly and steadily people started hearing rumors and were informed the Red Illusion cult followers started evil rituals around the world to try and resurrect the Red Illusion Sergeant again.

Many areas of the world has already became dark and covered with evil with a scent of death around the corner.

To stop this from happening the heroes and we should quickly eliminate all those who follow evil and stop the resurrection of not only the Red Illusion Sergeant but also the Underworld Demon.

# Special Features

The “Dark Night” map, as its name suggests, recreates the overwhelming darkness once spread by the Cult of Shadows during the summoning of the Red Illusion Sergeant.

Because of this darkness, your field of vision is severely limited, and you will only be able to see a short distance around your character.

♣ Dark Night Monsters

In the Dark Night regions, unlike normal areas, there is no limit to the number of monsters that can detect your character. The wider your visibility range, the larger the detection radius becomes for nearby monsters.

♣ Defense Stat Adjustment

Within the Dark Night map, all characters share a fixed defense value regardless of class.

Your defense stat is calculated as:
Defense = Character Level × 2 (Max: 500)

♣ Examples:
- A Level 200 character → Defense = 400
- A Level 258 character → Defense = 500 (maximum value)

♣Additional Notes:
- All armor bonuses and special equipment effects are disabled.
- This includes poison, confusion, and paralysis resistances.
- Only basic stats (STR/DEX/INT/LUK) and attack bonuses are applied.


# NPC Rumi & Candlelight
Each Dark Night Map has an NPC named Rumi, who manages the area. You can buy and sell necessary items through this NPC, or use them to move between Dark Maps.
