A new hunter, Bloody Queen, arrives at the manor. Due to her expectations of royal treatment, she has trouble adjusting to life there. The Survivor Eli Clark reaches out to her, but in her tempestuous state of mind, she lashes out at him, and he becomes trapped in a mirror world. In the mirror world, all of the hunters and survivors have been reflected as courtiers and servants in the queen's castle. They do not remember their pasts, but Mary will not let the illusion break so that everyone can return to the manor. But under the glistening surface of constant parties and pleasure, a plot is brewing, and Eli realizes that he must convince Mary to let her illusions go before it is too late.

Jack introduces the new mode Blackjack, to the survivors and hunters in the manor. Each of the featured pairs -- Emma and Robbie in Side A; Naib and Jack in Side B; and Kevin and Michiko in Side C -- must learn to work together and try to win in this new kind of challenge, as teammates rather than enemies.

A four-on-one game of tag, win it and I shall grant you any wish. No matter what that "wish" is... Amidst the inexplicable games played between Survivors and Hunters within the manor, "that person" who should not exist has appeared. The Phantom. Before long, both Survivors and Hunters began to call him by that name. In order to solve the mystery, the Survivor "Prisoner" and the Hunters Wu Chang each begin to make their move. In the process, they will find themselves confronting their own pasts. Just what, exactly, is the Phantom?

The survivors and hunters were engaged in a mysterious game within the manor. A prospector seeking golden "treasure" and a night watchman obsessed with "complete victory" meet, clash, and continue to fight, each burdened by their respective "pasts." At the end of this never-ending zero-sum game, where can we find the "light" of salvation? Those who try to crawl out of the darkness and those who try to embrace and protect the darkness Will they be able to have it all? Or...
