Introducing “Devil’s Whisper”!

[p]Hello, everyone!
This is Bahoko, your game master from VIractal: World of Viractalia![/p][p]Today, I’m here to introduce an exciting new feature that makes multiplayer sessions even more thrilling—Devil’s Whisper![/p][p][/p][h2]What is “Devil’s Whisper”?[/h2][p]During online co-op play, you might suddenly receive a mysterious message on your screen—something only you can see.
That’s the Devil’s Whisper.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Perks of a Pact[/h2][p]If you accept a pact offered through Devil’s Whisper, you’ll earn extra Soul Points at the end of the game!
The more contracts you make, the bigger the rewards become.[/p][p]But beware… each new contract tends to escalate in demands.[/p][p][/p][p]Of course, you can always refuse the offer if you let the timer run out.
But can you resist the temptation of greater rewards?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]The Price of a Pact[/h2][p]If you choose “Accept” within the time limit, the pact is sealed—congratulations on your Soul Point bonus![/p][p]However… your teammates will pay the price.
They may suffer misfortunes such as:[/p]
  • [p]Taking extra damage from enemies[/p]
  • [p]Increased chance of failure in dice challenges[/p]
[p][/p][p]And as a side effect of Devil’s Whisper, your voice in in-game chat may temporarily sound strange.
It’s up to your wits to cover it up![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Ending the Pact[/h2][p]Once all the misfortunes listed in the contract have been carried out, the pact is complete.
Then, you’ll simply wait for the next Devil’s Whisper to appear.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Summary[/h2][p]Devil’s Whisper challenges you to decide:
Will you sacrifice your teammates for your own gain, or resist the devil’s temptation?[/p][p]Make your choice, strike a deal, and claim more Soul Points… if you dare![/p]
