Within minutes of the Floor 11 expedition teams stepping out of the Gate in Seoul, the digital world went into a state of total anarchy. The footage—captured by a mix of official drone cams and frantic player-body cams—was being replayed, dissected, and slowed down to 0.1x speed by millions.

GHN: GLOBAL HUNTER NEWS – EMERGENCY BROADCAST

Headline: THE MASK FALLS: "SINGULARITY" IS THE KRAKEN SLAYER.

『In a turn of events that has left the Hunter Association in shock, the identity of the super-rookie "Singularity" has been confirmed as Kang Min. Not only is he the man who saved the 11th Floor expedition from total annihilation, but high-resolution facial recognition has confirmed him to be the same porter from White Stars who vanished after slaying the Calamity-4 Kraken months ago.

Currently, the 11th Floor ruins is barricaded as Kang Min was seen exiting the gate not with loot, but with the same Calamity-level Tiger that is believed to have been the one that killed the blue dragon guild elite team, following him like a domesticated pet. Valuation of the mana-crystals retrieved by the team is estimated to exceed ₩50,000,000,000, but the focus remains on the man who emerged from the boss’s very heart.』

Thread: [MEGATHREAD] How did Kang Min end up INSIDE the Demon King?

> "Okay, can we address the elephant or rather, the tiger in the room? Look at the 14:02 mark of the Iron Aegis leak. The Demon King turns into a giant meatball/ice shell. Kang Min is nowhere to be seen. Then, out of nowhere, his arm punches through the ice from the inside.

> My theory? He was absorbed during the fight and literally tore his way out of the Demon King’s soul. There is no other explanation for why he suddenly appeared. He’s a monster in human skin."

Comments:

* ShadowWalker_99: "Nah, look at the runes in the chat log. The 65th Demon King was saying some weird shit: \text{ᚠᚡᚢᚣᚤᚥ}. The System filtered it out. I think Kang Min used a hidden ’Exchange’ skill to swap places with the boss’s heart. It’s the only way he could appear inside the corpse while it was still cooling."

* KimchiWarrior: "Forget the boss did you see him walking out of the gate? He’s got the Tiger on a chain. A CALAMITY MONSTER. People are calling it ’The Cat of Seoul’ already. The guy is a total madman.

* BlueMage_Expert: "Let’s talk about the ’System Filter.’ This is the first time we’ve seen speech blocked like that. \text{ᚬᚭᚮᚯᚰ}. It means the Floor 11 boss was revealing ’Forbidden Knowledge.’

> This is the most ’Alpha’ thing I’ve ever seen. He just cleared the hardest Abyss in korea so far and he’s feeding a Calamity beast beef jerky. #KangMin #Madman

@Leonhardt_Stan:

> Can we give some flowers to the rest of the team? Leonhardt Weiss literally lost his divine armor to protect the porters. Sasha Kim knelt to a Demon King just to buy a few seconds. They aren’t the ’main characters’ today, but they are heroes. #IronAegis #SashaKim

> Also it’s really strange how Sasha was the only to recognize the demon by it’s title. Perhaps an encounter before as she is know to clear mostly ruins and abyss sinkholes?

@Sins_Of_The_Star:

> The way Woonhee looked at him when he came out... like she’d seen a ghost. Remember, she was the one who said ’Porters are players too.’ She started the counter-attack. Mad respect to the support team. #PortersRiseUp

> She’s also the only one who knew singularity really well and they both worked together at white stars as porters. man what a friend keeping the secret like that.

Author: Dr. Park (Rank-S Researcher)

> "The Floor 11 expedition has forced us to rewrite the manual. We now have proof of the ’Abyss Sinkholes’ a hidden layer of the tower that is significantly harder than the standard floors.

> The Boss: The 65th Demon King. The fact that it has a number implies there are at least 64 more. This suggests a hierarchy we haven’t even touched.

> The Filter: The runes \text{ᛃᛄᛅᛆᛇ} indicate that the Tower is actively hiding its origins from us.

> Kang Min: His skills are breaking the ₩ valuation of the Walker’s Association. The math doesn’t add up unless he is using ’Fable-tier’ logic that we don’t understand yet.

> The Pet: The tiger is a ’Calamity-level’ monster. Its presence in Seoul is a massive legal headache, but who is going to tell Kang Min to put it down? The man just shot out of a demon kings corpse.

Views: 200,000,000 (and counting)

『The video shows the Gate swirling with purple and blue light. The crowd of reporters is screaming. Suddenly, Kang Min walks through. He looks exhausted, his clothes are shredded, and blood is matted in his hair. Behind him, the giant Sabertooth Tiger steps through, its eyes glowing purple. The reporters fall back in terror, but Kang Min just pulls the chain slightly and the tiger sits.

He looks at the cameras, his face stoic, and says nothing. He walks toward a waiting transport, the tiger following like a loyal dog.』

Top Comments:

* User771: The way the tiger looked at the Rank-A guards and just yawned... it knows its ’owner’ is the apex predator in this city.

* MoneyMaker_KR: The white stars guild leader looked like he wanted to cry. Imagine losing your best gear and then finding out your porter is the guy the entire world is looking for.

* GlobalHunter_Fan: Giving flowers to Sasha Kim. But Kim Jin did take the last blow on the 65th

* Theory_Nerd: I bet he was inside the boss because he wanted to aura farm. There was a weird coldness reported by the survivors. Like the whole room turned into a freezer. What kind of skill is that?"

News 24: Seoul Bureau – Live Interview with Woonhee

Anchor: "Woonhee-ssi, you were there. You were the first to call out his name. What was it like seeing him emerge from... well, from a corpse?"

Woonhee: (Looking exhausted but proud) "It didn’t feel like a monster was coming out. It felt like... a King returning. We were all ready to die but he always knows how to appear in dire times like this...it’s not the first time. I also think it’s safe to say...since knowing him...I’m certain he’s the person who’s going to reach the top.

Anchor: "Oh wow, you two have known each other...how did you two meet?"

Woonhee: Haha, I’ll have to pass on that question.

New Tower Knowledge Uncovered:

* Floor 11 Abyss: We now know that the ’Abyss’ can be triggered by high-density mana conflicts.

* The Demon King Hierarchy: The existence of the ’65th’ has led to a global panic, with many countries increasing their defense budgets for the higher floors.

* The "Porter Protocol": All major guilds have officially banned their members from mistreating porters, fearing another ’Singularity’ might be hiding in their ranks.

All eyes and hopes of the future climbing of the tower were on a single man.
