Those scholars who were focused on research also began to feel uneasy, as if something uncontrollable was happening. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/3020bfa828f3af5807b8d6586e3a7cbac4f15372.jpg A hidden plane exists at the Pavilion of Spirits, the secret base of three mysterious persons. Countless arcane implements brimming with energy riddle the area. This plane is called the , the Reincarnation Trial's greatest secret. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/14bbf582d95ebf302d34421d96a53f52efdd5965.jpg A mysterious person used an ancient technique to create eight beings from Soul Crystals.

Should a Charim grow powerful enough, they can break free and cross the boundaries between dimensions to exact the revenge they so vehemently seek. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1608191/Raksasi/

Incarnation of Darkness

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/c7eedc0ce387b5d78bace64b99bfe558b0d02ed0.jpg The Incarnation of Darkness DLC comes with its own difficulty level. Anything can happen as the difficulty intensifies; the possibilities are endless.

8 Charim Characters

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/e05bdff22f827fb7a314474b88f0bd33ec915238.jpg These brand-new characters come with unique weapons and talents. They are mighty indeed. But with great power comes great responsibility—the trials they face are even more terrifying.

16 New Relics

As the Charim gains further strength, each will unlock 2 new relics for a total of 16. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/109a6be9bfcc4215a554745952498d7868c6b4fd.png 【Soul Set】 Doubles the souls gained from killing enemies. When you gain souls, gain an equal amount of magic power.

• Soul Jade Taking a fatal blow while above 50 souls will remove 50 souls and revive you at full health. Can only be triggered once per room and has lower priority than Divine Soul Jade. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "A strange mutation from the old Divine Soul Jade. Unlike its predecessor, this one can be activated repeatedly at the cost of a huge amount of soul. Useful, but has its merits and its drawbacks."
• Demon Crystal Casting a spell above 10 souls will remove 10 souls and cast Demon Crystal Tide. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Demon Crystal is a relic made by mimicking Ajiela's power. When the owner casts a skill, they can expend souls to unleash a Demon Crystal Tide; very powerful indeed."
• Soul Hammer Increases attack power by 30%; enemies struck by the owner of this effect staggers and take longer to recover from hits. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "I built this hammer based on forging techniques I learned from the hammer lady. It will allow its user to stagger their opponents for longer."
• Soul Blade If your soul is above 0, gain 100% attack but lose 1 soul every 20 seconds. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Soul Blade is an energy relic that can be applied to the user's weapon. Very powerful but drains a lot of souls."
• Soul Ward Each successful Block restores 5 HP while a Perfect Block grants 5 seconds of invincibility. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Soul Ward is the most successful soul relic yet! Any weapons or shields imbued with it will grant beneficial effects to its user when successfully parrying an attack!"
• Soul Pupil The target takes 5 additional damage for each soul that they have. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Soul Pupil is specially crafted for Soul Hunters. It turns anything with souls into juicy prey."
• Demonic Soul Converter After using, convert 10 souls into 50 Magic Power. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Turning souls into useful fuel is something I've wanted to do for a long time. This converter can convert souls into magic power, the results are somewhat unsatisfactory, however."
• Sanguine Soul Converter After using, convert 10 HP into 1 soul. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "We usually obtain soul from living things. However, if only it was possible to extract souls from blood instead of killing the host... this converter is only a product of preliminary experiments."

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/3a07a80cffcb2f450d61494a66af756ac6bb2081.png 【Rampage Set】 Gain the Heavenly Eye power. Randomly increase either HP, magic power, or attack power by 100. When the set is activated, reset the current chapter.

• Rampage Magnifier The user becomes gigantic and doubles their Max HP, attack power is increased by 100%, movement is slowed, and can now damage enemies by sprinting into them. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "The Magnifier is a failed experiment that has yielded entertaining results. It does what its name suggests, albeit with very severe side effects."
• Unstable Collider Attacking a target has a chance to either instantly kill the target, deal double damage, or deal no damage at all. This effect also affects you and bosses, except the instant death becomes taking triple damage. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Collider is used to create tunnels in the fabric of space. Its effect is unstable, but who cares? We simply need to spend more resources and test it as much as we can. Or, might be more fun to use it for something entirely different."
• Unstable Converter Every 30 seconds, your attributes will be changed to a random number. This includes HP, magic power, movement speed, attack power and different types of elemental damage. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "The converter was initially used to adjust certain data but was later found to be useful for other things. The only problem was that its parameters were sporadic and had to predict."
• Rampage Challenger Can only be used once. Spawn a random enemy when used and grants a random reward upon defeating it. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "The challenger will create any living organism with sufficient ingredients and materials, it'll really create anything!"
• Mysterious Egg Randomly hatch a Shade that follows you around. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "I love the mysterious egg! We have this game where we pick our egg and see which one of our hatchlings is the strongest."
• Rampage Morph Potion Attacking a target has a chance to change the target into a random creature. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "No one wants to try the Morph Potion in the fear that they'll turn into something monstrous. So we applied this to weapons and start morphing our enemies, how fun!"
• Rampage Skill Enhancer Using a skill gives a chance to create a Magic Power Orb, a Magic Potion, or lose some or even all magic power and create a large explosion. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "Skill enhancement has been a rather difficult procedure due to the unpredictable nature of the subject matter. Still, we managed to achieve the impossible, although the effect is still somewhat unsatisfactory."
• Rampage Summon Token At any time or place, summon a random boss or challenger. Defeating them offers certain rewards. "Dark Zone Research Notes": "We originally wanted to create a bell that can summon friends. However, the result was something that could summon immensely powerful enemies. They said this is not bad either, how strange."

New Challenge: Boss Rush

Having gathered plenty of data, Yi Xue has now created a most interesting (hellish) challenge: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/3eaea07c02f84c3459f53acc33bb3599796b5afa.png During this mode, you'll be faced with three groups, each comprising ten mighty foes. You will be forced to fight back-to-back until all ten foes have been bested. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/ffc691399bfae802d2a05b77d77858fa2ed52e0a.jpg In return, Yi Xue has fashioned nine new relics based on the abilities of the various bosses.

New Relic: Boss Set

• Ancient Fox Incense: Usable once every chapter. Summon an Ancient Fox Incense to attack enemies. "Strange Tales from the Netherworld": "The Ancient Fox has a living incense burner with a mind of its own. It gives off a very pleasant smell that the Ancient Fox always uses it to light his smokes. Obviously, there are more things than meets eye about it."
• Singularity Boots: Create a singularity when you dodge that drags enemies and deals a small amount of damage. Has a 10-second cooldown. "Samsara Society Record": "The Singularity Boot was our old CEO's most proud invention. The original pair, made personally by his hands, is being kept by the Witches of Kwenlun. We made replicas later on. However, their power is somewhat lacking compared to the original."
• Cranial Bugger: Summon a Mini Oddity to fight for you. Has a 15-second cooldown and only one can be active at any given time. "The Record of Ancient Times": "There is a phenomenon within the Five Oddities called a Mini Oddity. It's a miniature, adolescent version of its bigger cousin that possesses some of their power but far less destructive."
• Abomination Sac: Unleash malice in every direction when taking a hit or after a successful parry to slow and deal damage to enemies. "Yinyang Recipes": "The sac of the Gelatinous Abomination needs to be removed before being cooked. The removed sac has other special uses as a food charm."
• Evil Master's Charm: When a Charged attack hits an enemy, summon a Divine Master's Charm at the target location and deal area damage. "Strange Tales from the Netherworld": "The Divine Master's Charm is derived from the virtuous study of Taoism. Its evil counterpart is not as righteous, but a lot more powerful."
• Thorn Seed: Randomly summon up to 3 friendly Thorns in your vicinity. The attack power of the Thorns is dependent on the caster's own attributes. "Strange Tales from the Road": "The Thorn Devil is unintelligent and can be cultivated to serve humans if their seed could be acquired."
• Spike Vine: Summon a lurking Spike Vine to attack enemies from time to time. The attack power of the Spike Vine is dependent on the caster's own attributes. "Strange Tales from the Road": "Spike Vine is a symbiotic devil that grows on powerful hosts and serves their host's purpose. There are rumors that someone grew these on themselves and managed to bend the vines to their will."
• Stink Pill: Dodging, taking hits, or successfully parrying will unleash a stinky gas cloud that damages any enemies that enter it. The power is dependent on the caster's own attributes. "The Record of Ancient Times": "It's said the Weasel Devils has a special pill that makes whoever takes it fart uncontrollably. This gas, while humorous, has the ability to damage enemies."
• Thunder Eye: Cast Sky Thunder against your target when successfully parrying an attack; if you take a hit, cast Rampant Thunder instead. The power is dependent on the caster's own attributes. "Artifacts Explained": "It's said that the ancient gods possessed an actual Acalanatha that derives its power from an energy crystal called the Thunder Eye."

Set Effect: Attacks that land on a boss will create projectiles with the total power equaling your attack power. While in a boss fight, you gain an additional 30% damage reduction.

Netherworld

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/ca9870e20a76ed6567987ad9f21add5f278692f4.png The Netherworld, or rather the Realm of the Dead, is in reality a space interconnected with our world. It coexists with the world, or perhaps the realm crashed into ours at some point, no one knows. The Netherworld overlap with our world at several locations, the most well-known being the Netherworld Way. By traversing this intersection one can pass between the two realms. Some say that the souls of the dead are drawn toward the Netherworld, but the reality is not as cut and dry. First, few actually know the location of the Netherworld Way; second, those with strength enough to pass are few and far between. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/dc784972fbb9a39ace168c3f8526fe738bff93a6.png In the Netherworld there are evil spirits on the prowl, some of their number are enormous. Evil spirits are surprisingly weak, yet it's dangerous if too many set their sites on you. Their incorporeal bodies allow them to pass right through your weapons and attack you. There are two explanations for where this type of ghost comes from. One has it that they are a race created in the Netherworld. The other has it that they are the spirits of those departed from our world. There is yet another explanation though, and that is that the Netherworld are a world that lives off of our own like a parasite. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/a12822e4fb802e6e84864b06322ff7adcb1720b2.png There are two Mandarin officials of extraordinary ability that stand guard over the Netherworld Way, one white and one black. They are charged with preventing humans and ghosts from travelling back and forth between the two worlds. Thanks to them, the influence of the two worlds on one another has certainly decreased. The white-clad Mandarin wields a mourning stick, which can shatter any spirit armor and absorb magic power. Legend has it that the White Ghost Mandarin will knock out any person crossing the Netherworld Way and throw them into the Santu River, the River of Three Crossings. The black-clad Mandarin wields a Soulbinder Cord that it can use to shatter any spirit armor. If it is used to ensnare a target, it will rob them of their magic power. Legend has it that the Black Ghost Mandarin will seize upon any ghosts that attempt to cross the Netherworld Way and drag them back to the Netherworld.

The New Boss

Meng Po

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/0fc6ee1e317a8bdf789838b446af07c0630266ff.png "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" In life, Meng Po was a Yinyang thaumaturgist who once conducted research into and explored the Netherworld. A portion of this book comes from her own handwritten manuscripts. Meng Po lost a battle of love against her rival in her later years, and so died after taking a homemade poison. What's curious is that after she passed, her spirit proceeded to the Netherworld via the Netherworld Way. It was later found that she was residing in the Netherworld Way. All who journey to the Netherworld and all ghosts that come back to this mortal coil, all must eat her soup. By her influence, the influence of the two worlds upon each other seems to have lessened. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/9d339321cb2f294d69422d90b143aafd4e421e5c.png

Meng Po Soup

Consumable item. A random Relic is lost upon consumption, but three random ones are granted. "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" Meng Po of the Netherworld Way has a bottomless pot of soup that possesses a strange effect wherein it is able to rewrite the memories of whomever consumes it. While legend has it the soup is meant to relieve one of worries leftover from their past life, the truth is not so simple.

Nether Queen

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/b5f872a88903ea4e15db373994a0b663091880f8.png "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" Numbering amongst the few Ghost Empresses of the Netherworld is the breathtaking Nether Queen. She is notoriously fickle, liable to disappear at the drop of a hat, perhaps off to roam the mortal coil, perhaps not. Her temperament is likewise notoriously mercurial, becoming enraged for seemingly no reason. She's just as liable to launch an attack as she is to stand by on the sidelines in utter silence observing the drama unfold before her. All that have seen her have had themselves robbed of the blood flowing through their veins in short order by her lustrous, silken hair. It has never ended well for either party when she has set her sights upon a Devil Slayer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/8af266b6618ce4f4094e21d412e905a393d7f455.png

A Strand of Sable Hair

Shoots out threads that strike at enemies through the ground, dealing damage and inflicts bleed. "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" Many a ghost story consists of hair that is able to grow on its own and steal lives. As far as we know Nether Queen's hair does possess this ability. Her silken hair still possesses vitality even if separated from her body.

Rising Moon

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/76e70b1826e861138ef4c50b11fcff749ce857c2.png "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" We've been quite curious about the Netherworld, for a millennium in fact. Our research into this world has never stopped. The most effective way is to send the souls of the recently departed, though this has not been without incident. Ten years ago, the tragedy of Hongde Xu created conflict, and we ended up using soul transmission to extend his life in the Netherworld. We lost contact with his spirit after that though. We did bump into his wandering spirit in the Netherworld later on, though he had forgotten everything, and even attacked us. We suspect that it could well be that our actions were discovered and a formidable inhabitant of the Netherworld decided to intervene, hence Hongde Xu attacking us. Rising Moon has become a terrifying force, nay a specter that haunts our efforts in the Netherworld.

Frostrend

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/fefea62c10891e8453308590024d724c3b2dd6b8.png A longsword born of the Netherworld. Cold enough to freeze the very ground itself, making slows against enemies twice as potent. X-X-X: Slash-Slash-Chop (Guard Break, Smash, Freeze) X Charge up: Double Slash (Guard Break, Freeze) Y: Chop (Guard Break, Smash) Y Hold: Riposte (Guard Break, Smash, Freeze) B: Dodge (40 stamina) "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" Having been transformed into Rising Moon within the Netherworld, Hongde Xu received a new artifact—Frostrend. This weapon is born of the Netherworld and emits howling winds capable of freezing the very ground itself. Should it appear in the mortal realm it will definitely make it into the Compendium of Arms.

Miss Mu

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/90a1fd0e3c9e1512286fd98a823ff77a3649423e.png "Strange Tales from the Netherworld" I was during my youth fortunate enough to encounter the primal fox, Miss Mu, and from her I learned the exploding palm, a technique I've used throughout my life. I love smoking, perhaps a habit I picked up from her. She is indifferent to the world at large but loves exploring new and strange places. However, she entered the Netherworld Way some decades ago, disappearing without a trace.

Hongde's Letter

Hongde Xu's corporeal form. Once hit points drop to 0 you will return to your original form. Usable one time per chapter. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/3eacf3f8e1fc483076a63cf4dcec1f41080e9fc4.png X-X-X: Dash Slash - Dash Slash - Pierce (defense break, knockdown) X Hold: Riposte (defense break) Y: Tornado Gale (defense break, knockback, knockdown) Y Charge up: Heavenly Punishment (defense break) B: Dodge (30 stamina)

Muramasa

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34710785/e35ed5b796a4498406ef948240b9db9425ccc9b2.png Soul Prison: Steal a target's soul upon killing them. Soulrend: Release souls to attack enemies. X-X: Double Iaijutsu X Hold: Riposte (Guard Break) Y: Iaijutsu Y Charge up: Soulrend (Guard Break, 80 stamina, Release Souls) B: Dodge (40 stamina) "Compendium of Arms: The Lost" Muramasa is a longsword of unknown origin engraved with the name Muramasa. Enemies slain by this blade have their souls imprisoned, something which has given it the name Muramasa, the Demon Blade. There is little known about this weapon and the little that is known is currently not included in the list.
