Chaos Zero Nightmare: First Update - "Reunion of the Galaxy"
📌 The first major update, "Reunion of the Galaxy" (은하계의 재회), is a 9-week season-based content divided into three 3-week segments (early, mid, and late stages), with new story and content released at each update.
🗺️ The content utilizes season-specific save data, which can also be used in general content like Simulation or Hyper-Space.
🌌 Season content, story, and Chaos dungeons will be integrated into the main game after the season ends, ensuring no content is permanently missed.

New Story and Characters
📜 Season 1's title is "The Forbidden Catalyst" (금기의 카탈리스트), involving a mission from Terassion (humanity's ark union, similar to Earth) regarding issues with Firsts dispatched from the Empire, leading the captain to uncover secrets.
🕵️ New character Yuki (유키) is introduced as the head of the Special Investigation Department (SID), a veteran detective working with First Asna; she is characterized by a straightforward personality and initially skeptical of the Nightmare Captain.
✨ Two new combatants, Chizuru Serenial (치즈루 세레니엘), will appear in the mid and late stages of the season.

New Character: Yuki and Partner West Mccut
⭐ Yuki is a Light/Order attribute Striker specializing in AoE (Area of Effect) attacks.
💡 Yuki heavily utilizes the "Inspiration" (영감) effect—triggered when a card moves to hand via abilities—to increase damage or reduce card costs, demonstrating strong deck control.
🤝 Yuki's partner, West Mccut (웨스트 메컷), is an independent private detective whose passive increases the damage of cards with Inspiration or those drawn via ability; his Ego Skill, "Clue Capture," aids Yuki's deck control by manipulating cards on top of the deck.
📅 Pickup banners for Yuki and West Mccut are available starting November 12th after maintenance, joining the permanent pool after December 3rd.

New Chaos: Research Institute Zero
🧪 The new Chaos dungeon, Research Institute Zero (제0 연구소), is linked to the forbidden research that caused the season's disaster and introduces new elements like Forbidden Cards and Season Equipment.
💥 A key new card type is the Forbidden Card, such as "Portrait of Forbidden Rage," which adds extra hits based on the number of cards in hand, offering unique deck-building challenges.
🔄 Season Chaos Cards (both Forbidden and Common) will be integrated into standard Chaos after the season concludes, allowing players to acquire them later.

New System Content
🌀 Two new content types are added: Nebula Distortion (성운 왜곡) and Great Rift (대균열), both using season save data.
👹 Nebula Distortion features existing bosses with "Distortion Stacks" that increase difficulty; bosses (Cantrice first, then Gaju, then Dan) unlock sequentially over the first four weeks, offering rewards based on the distortion level achieved.
📊 Great Rift is a 2-page battle content where players aim for the highest score within a limited number of turns, utilizing special conditions for bonus points and offering cumulative rewards, including unique stickers.

Rewards and System Updates
💰 Players can earn the event currency "Shards of Pure White" (순백의 파편) from achievements, weekly Chaos progression, and boss kills in Research Institute Zero.
🛍️ Shards can be exchanged at the Supply Depot, which updates three times during the season, for items including Extraction Anchors, Signal Amplification Anchors, and Omega Codes (material for 5-star character Ego Manifestation).
✅ Achievement Log (달성 수첩) rewards levels 2 through 22 have been upgraded, providing additional promotion materials and Memory Fragments, which will be mailed to existing players.
📖 Battle Mission Chapter 6 (Normal and Hard) has been added to the game.
