The digital landscape of the global player community shifted overnight and underwent a tectonic upheaval.
In the twenty-four hours following the conclusion of the "Singularity Debut" stream, the internet; from the high-traffic corridors of Bnet to the chaotic forums of RedZone became a singular, vibrating hive mind centered on one masked figure.
The "Singularity Effect" was no longer just a trend but a phenomenon.

Title: 「FRAME BY FRAME: How Singularity Broke Physics in Floor 1」
Channel: Tower_Analyst_Pro
Views: 4.2M (Uploaded 6 hours ago)
[Video Script Snippet]
"...Look closely at the 0:42 mark. Most viewers thought this was simple telekinesis. But watch the way the dust particles around the Centipede's left mandible react before the strike. They aren't being pushed; they're being pulled toward a localized focal point. This is high-level gravity manipulation disguised as a B-rank skill. If Singularity is truly a rookie, his mana control coefficient is sitting in the top 0.1% of the world. Now, let's look at the 'Swap' movement that's currently breaking the competitive meta..."
[Comments (14,502)]
* @SwordMaster99: I'm a D-Rank currently and I just so happened to get a similar skill that is of C Grade abd tried to move with a dagger in the training room. Nearly took my own ear off. The timing required to swap positions while the object is in mid-flight and then land a critical hit is insane.
* @TowerSimp_Hee: Can we talk about the T1 Drone though? The quality of the footage is why we can even see these frames. Whoever this guy is, he's loaded or sponsored.
* @NoobClimber2026: I followed his advice on the Golems (the back-of-the-head runes). My team cleared the 3rd trial in 12 minutes! We used to get stuck there for hours. Singularity literally just saved my career.
* @SaltShaker: 1:42 is a fake time. No one clears the Centipede that fast without a glitch. The system is bugged.
* ↳ @ProAnalyst: 『ERROR』: The Abyssal Tower system has a 0.00001% margin of error. If the system says 1:42, it's 1:42. Cry harder.

Post: 「Why the 'Back of the Head' Discovery is the Biggest Thing Since the 2022 Mana Patch」
「For years, the tutorial Golem trial was considered a 'dps-check.' You either had the strength to shatter them repeatedly until the gate opened, or you failed. But Singularity's stream revealed the rune hidden in the cervical vertebrae.
Today, over 400 rookies cleared the trial using the 'Singularity Method.' The average clear time dropped from 45 minutes to 8 minutes. We are seeing a massive influx of players entering Floor 1 today. The economy of the lower floors is going to crash because of one guy's tutorial.」
[Comments]
* User: MerchantPrince: Confirming this. Price of Low-Grade Mana Potions has dropped 15% because rookies don't need to chug them for an hour-long golem fight anymore.
* User: TankGod: I saw a clip of a guy trying the 'Swap' move with a shield. He swapped with the shield mid-air to dodge a Scrap Ghoul, but he forgot to account for the momentum and hit a wall. 7/10 for effort, 0/10 for his nose.
* User: LoreHunter: Does anyone find it weird that he knew about the runes? Even the High-Rankers who do 'Tutorial Carries' didn't mention it. It's like he's seen the blueprint of the Tower.
* User: MaskFan1: I don't care if he's a glitch or a god, I just want to see that Roulette Roll. The suspense is killing me.

@Player_X_Official (S-Rank Hero): 「Interesting movement. That 'Swap' skill usage is creative. I'd like to see how he handles the Floor 10 Trials. Soloing is one thing; surviving the milestone floors is another.」

Channel: FailClips_Daily
Description: A compilation of players attempting the "Singularity Centipede Tech."
[Clip 1]
A player in shiny silver armor tosses a rock over a Scrap Ghoul. He activates [Swap]. He teleports perfectly but forgets to keep his weapon ready. The Ghoul just turns around and slaps him.
Caption: 『FAIL』: Missing the "Singularity" Reflexes.
[Clip 2]
A streamer is yelling at his camera. "Look! Back of the head! Singularity said it's right there!" He climbs a Golem, finds the rune, and punches it. The Golem shatters instantly. The streamer stares at his hand in shock. "It worked... IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I'VE BEEN STUCK HERE FOR A MONTH!"

[Bnet Forum: "The Mystery of the T1 Drone"]
User: TechGeek_Seoul
Post: 「Let's talk about that drone.」
「I work in R&D for a tech guild. That specific T1 model isn't even for public sale yet. It's the 'Specter V4'—built for high-mana density environments where standard signals fail. It costs roughly ₩60,000,000.
Where did a rookie get ₩60M?
Options:
* He's the son of a Guild Master.
* He's a sponsored 'Secret Project' by T1.
* He's a veteran who restarted his character (Returnee theory).
My bet is on Option 3. His movement isn't that of a teenager with a fast drone. It's the movement of someone who has killed ten thousand monsters and stopped counting.」
[Comments]
* User: GhostHunter: Agreed. Look at his eyes through the mask slits. He doesn't look at the boss but really just through it
* User: RichBrat: I tried to buy one this morning. T1 said they have no record of sales for that model to a player named 'Singularity.' This is getting spooky.

「Rumor is the Hyena Squad is disbanding after getting humiliated on stream by Singularity. Their leader, Cheol, had his spatial pouch taken. Inside was the loot from three weeks of rookie-killing. Singularity beat the shit out of them AND proceeded to bankrupt them. Word to the wise: Stay away from the guy in the black mask if you value your gear.」

"Wait... wait... did he just... NO WAY. Look at the timer! 1:42! Yo, I took six minutes with a full party of C-ranks last year! Is this guy using a speed-hack? In the Tower? That's impossible! The Constellations are watching! If he was hacking, he'd be a red smear on the floor by now. This guy is... he's a monster."

(Woonhee is seen watching the clip of the Centipede fight, her face alternating between pride and pure shock.)
"I... I knew he was strong, but I didn't know he was that strong! ...Wait, did he just say he's hungry for Samgyeopsal at the end? HE'S GOING TO BANKRUPT ME!"

Post: 「What is in the Roulette Wheel?」
「Based on the golden light of the interface, that was a 'Constellation-Sourced' Roulette. This isn't your standard Tower loot. We're talking about items that don't exist in the current market.
Possibilities:
* SSS-Grade weapon? (Unlikely for Floor 1, but maybe?)
* A 'Legacy' Artifact?
* A Growth-type Armor set?
He said he's doing an 'Unboxing Stream.' My heart can't take this. I've already set five alarms.」
[Comments]
* User: LuckSucks: He'll probably get a 'C-Grade Rusty Spoon' because that's how the Tower works.
↳ User: MetaChaser: Not for an S-Rank evaluation. The minimum reward for that tier is usually B-Grade or higher.
* User: StarGazer: Did you see the Constellation message? 'Destiny Draw.' That means a Star has its eye on him. This is more than just luck...it's one of those Constellation sponsorship deals...and I'm glad I was born to see it lolol.

[Bnet Article: "The Silent Revolution"]
Author: Park Ji-hoon (Senior Columnist)
「The Abyssal Tower has been stagnant for three years. The top guilds have monopolized the best strategies, and rookies have been relegated to 'slow-climbing' or paying for expensive 'carries.'
Then came Singularity.
In forty-eight hours, he has democratized the tutorial, humiliated the Floor 1 gatekeepers (The Hyena Squad), and proved that solo-climbing is not only possible but superior if one has the technique. He is not just a streamer but a symbol of defiance against the current 'Guild-First' system.
The question is: How will the Big Three Guilds—White Stars, Blue Dragon, and Iron Aegis—react to this 'Super Rookie' who refuses to show his face?」

"Step 1: Stop buying expensive swords. Look at Singularity—he used a piece of junk steel. It's not the tool but thought process (Nah I might be bullshitting on this one..but trust!!)
Step 2: Stop dodging away from the monster. Start dodging behind it.
Step 3: Learn the runes. We've mapped out all 20 Golem rune locations thanks to the Singularity VODs. Here's the map..."

User: Stalker_X
Post: 「He vanished at the Tutorial Lobby.」
「I was there. The crowd was huge. He went into the bathroom and never came out. People checked the stalls, the vents, everything. He's like a ghost. I'm telling you, he's not a regular player. He might be an NPC that became self-aware.」
[Comments]
* User: RationalMan: Or he just climbed out the window? You guys are making him into a god...such bs
↳ User: Stalker_X: The window is 20 feet up and the size of a pizza box. Unless he's a cat, he didn't go through there.
↳ User: AgilityBuild: I have 30 Agility. I could do it. Singularity probably has 40+. It's easy for him.
