About This Content

“Aria in the Ashes” is the new DLC of Soul at Stake, including a new Devil "the Actor", a new Gambler "Henry", and a new map the "Mourning Theater".

When your love is a debt, and your lust is a bait, do you realize yourself has been your only nightmare. When your life is swamped with sorrow, would you rather leave behind your feelings and gold, embrace your death, and release your soul?

NEW DEVIL：THE ACTOR

April was his stage name. As an actor, he gained most fame from his female roles. In the fancy costumes, he looked even more charming than women. His vocal always won applause from every one in the audience, except Rose.
Rose is the fellow actress that he was in love with, however he couldn't accept his true feelings after he was sent to entertain the authorities. He had lived as "April" for so long, but never as the real himself.
The last straw that completely killed his true self was Rose's suicide, because of how he treated her.
He never wanted to appear standoffish, but as an actor, his character made him so.
A fire from hell finally burnt down everything, including the last trace of his conscience.
April has passed, while her aria never faded away.

THE ACTOR'S ABILITY

The Actor may attack in a range mode, which is the default starting mode, or a melee mode, where he becomes invisible and only appears when attacking. He may switch between the two modes by casting a spell, or whenever he hits a Gambler. Additionally, Gamblers hear opera instead of heartbeats when they are playing against the Actor.

THE ACTOR'S CHEATS

Endless Echo：Every time the Actor teleports to a cardholder, he makes it resonate with him for 120 seconds. Within a certain range of this cardholder all Gamblers constantly hear his vocal and become unable to see him, until they leave the range. Up to 1/2/3 cardholders get this effect at a time.
Unregretful：No matter how deep in the hell I'm falling into, I never had any regrets. When hitting a target from distance, the Actor switches his mode after X seconds.

NEW GAMBLER：HENRY

When the desire reaches to the maximum, one would dare to gamble all they have.
In order to win something, you have to lose something. Henry is the man who is willing to lose something, and win more back. This makes him an outstanding businessman in the complicated world. Many peers commented that he was more than a lunatic than a merchant.
There wasn't a deal that he didn't dare to do, and there was nothing he wouldn't offer. As long as the reward is satisfying, he could sacrifice his wife and kids with no hesitation.
Life is just a business to him, and he needs a good deal to make the most of it.
What if it is a deal with the devils? He didn't care. He would take the risk when the profit is good enough.

HENRY'S CHEATS

Bribe God：When having no cards in hand, Henry may offer a multiple of X Stakes to seal a Joker in the cardholder, which represents the multiple.
Bribe Devil：Henry may offer at most X Stakes to reduce the duration of negative effects.

NEW MAP：MOURNING THEATER

Little did people know the well-known theater would ended up in the ashes.
The leading actor April's performance is still unforgettable to many people. They filled this theater every night only wishing to listen to his remarkable vocal and fascinating performance.
To everyone's surprise, the theater became a living hell in one night. The numerous opera put up on this stage, as well as the everlasting romance happened here, all ended up in the flames and mourns, together with April's finale.
