Maintenance Update
Dear Captains,
To optimize the game experience, Annulus will undergo version maintenance across all servers from 14:00 to 20:00 on June 17, 2026 (UTC+8).
The game will be inaccessible during maintenance. To ensure your account data remains intact, please complete any ongoing stages before maintenance begins. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Once maintenance is complete, simply restart the game to apply the update, and maintenance compensation will be distributed at that time. Please spread the word among fellow Captains.
※ The actual server opening time may be earlier or later depending on maintenance progress. Please follow official announcements for any delays.

◆ Themed Event: [Aid Recruitment – Nether Mastiff Extermination] Now Live
Minis's encroachment upon the Present World grows ever more severe, and dire omens have begun to manifest. Mountains across the land have started to fracture, as if hellish gates have been thrown open. Terrifying Nether Mastiffs and Ferocious Hounds pour forth from the rifts, wreaking havoc wherever they go.
It is said they roam the mountains, their movements eerie and elusive. When pursued by hunters, they scatter with lightning agility, only to regroup as a pack in the blink of an eye — and before their prey can recover from the confusion, their fangs are already locked around the throat.
An anonymous party has issued a recruitment request through the Mercenary Aid Society, offering a high commission for mercenaries to hunt down and exterminate these savage Nether Mastiffs and protect ordinary citizens.
Participate in challenges during the event to earn Seal of Awe and unlock the corresponding Exchange Shop. Rewards available for exchange include Glorious Medal, Acid Soft Drink, and more.
Choose your difficulty based on your strength and complete additional challenge missions.
