Ceres M

Ceres M is a Korean live service role-playing game set in a fantasy world where five kingdoms fight for control of powerful crystals. The ancient kingdoms before them lived together in peace until one of the kings set out to claim all of their magical crystals for himself, believing them to hold the secret to immortality. In the subsequent war, most of the crystals were lost or destroyed, leading to the downfall of civilization. Over the eons that followed, the shattered fragments of the crystals mixed with the blood of the fallen and merged together to form the Devil's Gem, a legendary crystal of deadly power, while the uncorrupted fragments formed a gigantic crystal that was split into five pieces. Each piece brought life to the area around it, giving rise to five kingdoms: Akain, Urk, Zen, Thanatos, and Hestia. Though history begins to repeat itself when the new kingdoms go to war for control of the crystals, heroes who learn of the existence of the Devil's Gem set out to stop its curse, believing that doing so could bring peace to the world once more.

The player controls a party of heroes in real-time combat against non-player characters (NPCs). Upon completing the prologue, the player is given a random selection of heroes with varying abilities to form a party of five. New heroes are unlocked via a gacha system where the player can summon a random selection of characters from a character pool using accumulated in-game currency (which can also be purchased with real money). In combat, the player can leave their characters to attack enemies automatically or use a 'Time Stop' ability to pause the combat and manually set their character's actions. Each character also possesses a significantly more powerful 'Ultimate Skill' that becomes available when certain conditions are met.
