Sanguine is a newly verified top 20 by the Nullscapes victor, spookkd! The level is a Devil Vortex and Grief inspired level created solo by the YT Shorts creator, GeoGD. It was first showcased around 8 months ago and was intended to be around top 50 difficulty back then, but spook decided to buff the level... quite a lot. Now the level is this extremely unbalanced mess of wave timings, that really made me feel like I was playing an upcoming top 5. The monster at 9% for example made me genuinely think I went the wrong way and activated an anti-skip mechanism. This level was intentionally buffed to be this way, which is certainly an interesting design choice from spook. Insane level nonetheless, GG to spook! As for the level itself, I'm really not a fan at all, it's possibly the least interesting top level we've had in a while, less interesting for me than if Artemis 13 got verified somehow.

![[Top 25?] - ARE with Frame Windows Counter
ARE is an awesome upcoming list demon made by some very talented creators with a retro and futuristic blend, with machinery as a major part of the levels design. It was started over a year ago as an upcoming top 10 extreme demon by Cinemat, the full showcase releasing around 10 days ago. It is now anticipated to be top 40 difficulty, but this version is definitely top 20 or higher. There are more 3fs than 4fs which is uncommon to see. The wave parts towards the start especially are pretty ridiculous are contribute the most. It tapers off towards the end but the beginning of the level is certainly no joke. The duals in this level are really creative and Im a huge fan of how the level looks in both gameplay and decoration. Definitely one of my favorite upcoming extremes for just how good it looks and how creative and unique it is. This is going to be verified by BONN GD, the verifier of the unrated top 20, HeRR MACHINE.

![[Top 15?] - Ultra Realistik with Frame Windows Counter
Ultra Realistik is a pretty niche upcoming list demon created by two good friends of mine, and being verified by the equally niche player marley. The level is a remake of the level Silent Realistik 22 by gStellar, an unrated top 40 verified by apu a few months ago. This was made mostly for fun and as a joke, being set as open verification. Terralith said it was inspired largely off of Renn and declans nine circles extreme demons theyve been recently releasing. Its a pretty cool level visually I will say, much better than the level its a remake of, or even other modern nine circle releases, predrop deco feels so 2020, like Golden Paracosm. Anyway, the verifier is marleywave, which I would be surprised if you heard of. They currently have 35k attempts on the level, and best runs of 22% and 47-100%. Its going to be a tough battle for marley, but wish them the best of luck!

![[Top 10?] - Unnerfed Lightning Glare with Frame Windows Counter
Lightning Glare was a popular upcoming extreme demon in 2021 and 2022, created solo by Lisp, and being quite good looking for the time.It was supposed to be top 25 at the time (top 175-200 now), and was being verified by GDUltim8, who got 49% and 42-100% on that version, which was open verification back then. That version ended up never getting verified, and this unnerfed version of the level was shown off on some showcase channels in 2022. The level pretty much got forgotten after that for years, until someone named Duckly decided to ultranerf the level to around top 500 difficulty or lower and verify it, seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJZx47ORd3I (comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHQlZICki2E). Kinda unfortunate how the levels story ended up, but I guess not everything is meant to be. This version is kind stupid with the 1f 2f burst of clicks, dunno what Lisp was thinking putting a saw in the middle of a wave corridor. Otherwise, its genuinely not that difficult anymore, it might not even be the hardest nine circles level with Antarctic Lights verified (and Ultra Paracosm might be harder too).
