First launched an official website in the year 2023, and then its mobile release on May 8, 2024; it’s now marking its first anniversary. With 50 million downloads within a span of five months,
Introducing Cha Hae-In, the new Hunter
I’m absolutely thrilled because the character, known as “Cha Hae-In, the Pure Sword Princess,” has officially entered the game as a top-tier water-type SSR hunter. Previously, she was Jinwoo’s partner and the Vice-Master of the Hunters Guild. However, this iteration of her hails from an alternate timeline that broke free from the recurring cycle of the “Cup of Reincarnation.

Wielding the celestial strength from above, she pierces through all obstacles.
Empowered by each strike, her abilities amplify and unleash breathtaking combos from the heavens…

On this particular narrative, she holds the position of Master within the Valkyrie Guild. What captivates me is her ultimate ability, which conjures a brilliant beam of pure light that cleaves through the heavens, accompanied by a tempest of celestial swords cascading down, piercing through the ranks of her adversaries.
New Story chapters 24 and 25 are coming with the update
The first anniversary update not only brings fresh content but also new tales, specifically Chapters 24 and 25. Each chapter includes a primary storyline and two side stories. These narratives revolve around the “Knights Guild raid in Busan” and the “dungeon breach at Sung Jinah’s school,” which are now incorporated into both the normal and hard versions of the Main Story.
Additionally, with each new story that gets introduced, appropriate Battle Mission Achievement Rewards for both Normal and Hard difficulty levels will also be incorporated.
Introduces the new Workshop of Brilliant Light – The Distorted Sanctuary stage in
It’s time to test your skills against Yogumunt, the Ruler of Transfiguration, in the recently introduced Workshop of Radiant Light – The Twisted Sanctuary stage. This fresh addition, known as The Twisted Sanctuary, is accessible in easy and normal difficulties. You can unlock it by successfully completing the Spire of Transfiguration on easy mode.

In my gaming world, once I hit Battle Tier 40, I’ll get a chance to take on Yogumunt – one of the toughest Monarchs from the webtoon. Since he was a thorn in my side in the comic, I can’t wait to give him a run for his money in the game now!
New Instance Dungeon mode boss
In the Instance Dungeon, the mighty Ant King has made his appearance! Known as one of the strongest monsters, he’s now up for battle. This formidable creature is resistant to attacks from the Fire Element, but watch out – he’s vulnerable against Water-based attacks.
Interestingly, the Ant King shares similarities with Yogumunt, as they both have been added to the Special Commission list. Defeating him will earn you rewards depending on how many times you manage to take him down!
New Job Changes for Sung Jinwoo and Blessing Stones
It’s even more exciting because Jinwoo’s maximum level has been increased to 100, accompanied by a fresh Job Change tier. Now you can enhance him with a new job change, the “Monarch of Shadows: Dawn Sentinel”. This isn’t just a title, as it also grants access to potent new abilities that will significantly alter your battle strategies.
Additionally, you now have the opportunity to gather nine different Blessing Stones, categorized into Rare, Heroic, Legendary, and Transcendent levels. These stones come in two varieties – Enhancement and Survival type Blessing stones, where:
1. Enhancement Blessing Stones are designed to boost the power of your items or abilities.
2. Survival Blessing Stones aid you in enduring harsh conditions or surviving challenging situations.
- Enhancement type Blessing Stones: Sandbag, Crushing Attack, Irresistible Force, First Strike Barrage, and Lightning Speed.
- Survival type Blessing Stones: Ravenous Instinct, Best Defense is a Good Offense!, Irreversible Road, and Swift Restoration.
New Costume for Sung Jinwoo

I’m really looking forward to the first anniversary daily mission that will be available in the game starting May 26 and running until June 12, 2025. What has me so excited is the chance to earn the Eleventh Hour Blade and Sung Jinwoo’s Pixiv Competition-winning costume by completing daily missions within the game.
