[New Character] Blair Preview
Some are nothing more than a nuisance, while others become turning points in a person’s life.
Unfortunately, the accident that struck Blair was one that turned hers upside down.
The normal life she shared with her father and the future she once dreamed of, vanished like smoke from a candle blown out too soon.
The sudden tragedy and the cover-up that followed were more than her will and mind could bear.
So she fed on her hatred toward VF awakeners, her anger, and her obsession with revenge, letting them consume her even as they became her only reason to keep going.
Blair began hunting them down.
She visited the sites of similar incidents, tracked them relentlessly, and even took the lives of several with her own hands.
The more she fought, the stronger her hatred toward awakeners grew.
But she couldn’t uncover everything on her own.
The roots behind it all ran deep and dark, her body was breaking down, and she still had to care for her father, who had fallen into a coma.
To the desperate Blair, Aglaia’s offer of help felt like a gift.
It was as if they already knew exactly what she wanted and gave her everything she needed.
Even now, she continues to hunt VF awakeners for revenge, not realizing that the one behind the tragedy that struck her is Aglaia itself.

S9 Season Pack Purchases Are Back to Normal!
We've been able to identify and fix 2 abnormalities found when trying to purchase the S9 Season Pack.
First, players who tried to purchase the Season Pack and saw an error pop-up can now normally purchase the item.
Second, players who were able to purchase the Season Pack were incorrectly charged the full price (7,200 NP) instead of the discounted price (6,200 NP).
We've already proceeded to fix this as well, and we'll be sending out refunds for the surplus charged (1,000 NP) to users affected by this through their mailbox.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for purchasing the S9 Season Pack.
S9 Season Pack Purchase Error
S9 Season Pack purchases are currently not working properly.
At the moment, we're looking into it and will keep you updated.
In the meantime, please avoid purchasing the season pack and we'll let you know once purchases are back to normal.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
