New Transcendence Class Promotion (4/5–5/3)
Two new Transcendence Classes, Special Agent May and Pyromaniac Yuri, are now available in Class Decoders and Premium Class Decoders.
Special Agent May
Background: May is a Chinese-born special agent who works for the Intelligence Agency and is trained in high-level combat. Most recently, she had been assigned to assist a fellow agent, but has found this difficult. In a turn of events that wrecked her resume, May has been unable to track her target due to their masterful disguise. When she discovered that the troublesome pyromaniac that had been terrorizing the world was actually the agent that she had been told to support, May became extremely conflicted, but carried on. Still struggling to find the pyromaniac agent, she eventually received intel that they had met up with David's company, so now May is on the move again to finally provide support.
Paired Weapon: Dual Sword Phantom Slayer

Zombie Scenario Skill: Special Agent's Stance

Yuri is a master of disguise and can infiltrate any location to get the job done, but recently, she has been on the run from May, who has been persistently chasing her after Yuri had planned on using David Black and his company but ended up exposing her current whereabouts to May. Now, the two of them find the chase and each other’s company to be getting exhausting.

We brought out the main stars of Remore today! Please give a warm welcome to the Infested! They will eat your heart out, literally!
A quick introduction to some of the Infested that will be seen in your adventure throughout Remore. Don’t get eaten now!
The first is the Infested known as Knawer. Given the name because of its the sound it makes when its feasting on human flesh. They say once you heard the Knawer eating... you will never be sane again...
The second Infested is known as Skulker. With its tiny stature and animalistic behavior, the Skulker scurries around at incredible speeds. Enough to run away or close the distance in between Turns!
These and many more Infested roam the now desolate lands of Remore...
